R. robustus

The professor doesn't agree with the fact that R. robustus would be a scavenger as suggested by the given reading passage. She condemns all the possible explanations given by the passage and provides with the alterantive explanations and evidences to state that these species were in fact active predators.

For the first argument suggested by the passage regarding its small size and how it couldn't hunt down large sized Psittacosaurs, she provides alternative explanation on how R. robustus might have actually hunted down the baby psittacosaurs and similar sized other animals. As the predators are generally supposed to be at least twice the size than their prey, it oculd very well be possible for them to hunt down such babies who would be much smaller that R. robusutus.

Similarly, the counter argument against the shape and structure of legs that could have prevented R. robustus from being able to chase their prey, is given by the example of present living animal, Tasmanian Devil which has the similar short and sideways positioned legs and yet it can run upto 15 km speed and is a successful predator. If these animals with similar structure could be active hunters, there could be possibility for the R. robustus to be similarly active predator as well.

Finally, the lack of evidence of teeth marks in bones as suggested by the passage to show R. robusuts as scavengers who devoured on the eggs, is dealt by the explanation that the these species in fact had very strong jaws and could have swallowed up the food whole or in large pieces that could have in fact led to the absence of teeth marks in the first palce. This disregards the claim from the reading paasage on how they could not be actively preying.

In conclusion, the counter argument against all of the three explanations; small size, structure of legs and absence of teeth marks in bones, are well dealt with explanations on the animal's nature of hunting baby preys, their similarity with present day active animal and swallowing nature of amimal, respectively, help to put forth a solid argument that R. robustus were in fact active predators.
