The lecture refutes the reading that claims that Repenomamus robustus (R. robustus) is not an active hunter of dinosaurs but a scavenger that fed on dinosaur eggs containing unhatched dinosaurs, by providing three reasons.
First, the lecture argues that R. robustus would be large enough to catch baby dinosaurs or similarly sized dinosaurs. While the reading suggests that R. robustus is relatively smaller than other dinosaurs such as psittacosaurs, the lecture clarifies that the body size of R. robustus has more than twice the mass of the dinosaurs in its stomach. Given this quantitative evidence, the lecture emphasizes that R. robustus are capable of hunting other small dinosaurs.
Second, the lecture believes that the short legs of R. robustus and these positions would not be sufficient evidence to prove that they are incapable of hunting other dinosaurs through the analogy of modern animals that share this disadvantage in hunting. She introduced that Tasmanian Devil, modern short-legged animals, can run fast enough to catch prays despite their short legs positioned somewhat to the sides of their bodies. Although the reading surmises that R. robustus would lack the ability to hunt other dinosaurs because of its physical disadvantage, the lecture vindicates that R. robustus could have overcome the difficulty of hunting as Tasmanian Devil has successfully proved its hunting ability.
Third, the lecture identifies that the reading overlooked the important fact of R. robustus. Although the reading highlights a lack of teeth marks on the bones of the animals that were eaten by R. robustus to prove it as the scavenger of dinosaurs, the lecture expounds on this point by offering empirical data. The lecture indicates that the powerful jaw of R. robustus enables it to omit using its back teeth for chewing and to swallow prays whole or big pieces, which explains the absence of its teeth marks on its prays in its stomach.
In conclusion, the lecture indicates that R. robustus is capable of hunting other dinosaurs by refuting three points made by the reading.
