In this set of materials, the reading passage states that Pterosaurs, an ancient group of winged reptiles, were not capable of powered flight. However, the lecturer argues that based on recent important studies, scientists express that they may be able to fly and refute all the reasons by offering several evidences.
First of all, it is mentioned in the article that since researchers consider Pterosaurs cold-blooded, they had slow metabolism and definitely could not produce enough energy to fly. In contrast, the professor asserts that recent discoveries show that dense hairs like feather covered the body of animal which means they were probably warm-blooded similar to birds So, it was practical for them to generate the energy needed for flight. In fact, they are not in the category of reptiles anymore.
Furthermore, the reading claims that heavy animals cannot fly and Pterosaurs are among huge animals. On the contrary, the professor explains that despite of large body, their weight were light because of hollow bones instead of dense ones. It allowed them to flap their wings fast and stay aloft for any length of time. Hence, the weight was not a big issue to prevent them from flying.
Finally, the passage believes that weak muscles in the back legs of Pterosaurs make it impossible for them to take off. Conversely, the professor contends that this type of animals are different with birds and use all four limbs to jump. Although birds just need to use their two legs to run to gain speed, Pterosaurs move their four limbs to push off the grounds and jump high enough to fly in the air. Therefore, this reason is not convincing to reject the idea of powered flight.
