ETS first writing exam
The article and the lecturer discuss the probability of R.robustus to being a predator. While the article testifies the fact that R.robustus could not be a hunter, the illustration of the lecturer asserts another theory.
Firstly, the article demonstrates that R.robustus is as meager as a "domestic cat". However, the lecturer believes the size of R.robustus is enough to hunt baby dinosaurs.
Moreover, the article's explanation about the size of the R.robustus shows that its legs are proper being a scavenger and not a predator. The lecturer argues the position of the creature legs is similar to the Tasmanian devil, which is a hunter animal lives nowadays. Therefore, R.robustus had enough ability for catching prey.
Finally, the article claims hence the bones of the animal eaten by the R.robustus left unharmed, R.robustus was not a hunter. The lecturer says in spite of the article's claim, the animal could be a predator since it swallowed its food. She demonstrates that because of the shape of R.robustus’s jaws, it had to swallow its food; consequently, it could be a predator.
