Exist quite evidence to affirm that dinosaurs were endotherms
The reading states that exist quite evidence today to affirm that dinosaurs were endotherms. However, the professor said there are many scholars that had doubts about it, and refuses each reason presented in the test, casting doubts in the author’s beliefs.
Firstly, the reading points out that have been discovered a significant number of dinosaur’s fossils in polar regions, and owing to the weather conditions there, only endotherm animals could survive. Nonetheless, the professor disproves this stating that the average temperature today is higher than the existent millions of years ago. Moreover, there are other possibility and it is that those animals could have migrated or hibernated, as many modern species do; which this argument falls apart.
Secondly, the article argues that exist a correlation between the position of the legs and its movement. there are physical activities, like running, that are only efficient with the legs under the body, as presents endotherm animals nowadays. The orator contradicts this position, saying that there are another explanation for this characteristic, and it is that the legs under the body allows to support more weight, and therefore, they could grow more.
Finally, the writer remarks that have been observed in the dinosaur's bones a particular structure named haversian canals, which are typical of endotherm species. Nevertheless, the lecturer deftly points out the weakness of this argument, noting that beside the haversian canals, the dinosaur's bones have growth rings too, and they show an irregular rate of growing. As a result, it can be proved that those animals grew more swiftly in the warm moments than in the gelid ones, which is totally inconsistent with the characteristic expected in endotherm animals; remarking the unconvincing of this argument.
