Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading passage.
The reading claims that pterosaurs were not able to fly by flapping their wings by offering three supporting reasons. However, the speaker finds all the reasons dubious and presents some evidence to refute them all.
The author asserts that cold-blooded pterosaurs that had a slow metabolism were unable to generate the energy needed to fly. Conversely, the lecturer dismissed this issue based on fossil records found and argues that pterosaurs had some hairs or fur that help them to maintain the temperature of their bodies.
Furthermore, the reading passage contends that pterosaurs that were as large as giraffe were probably heavy and therefore, they were not able to fly because of their weight. However, the speaker mentions that their bones were hollow rather than solid and conversely they were unusual light.
Finally, the reading claims large pterosaurs would have needed big, powerful muscles in their back legs to launch themselves into air, while fossil records shows that their back muscles were too week. In contrast, the speaker contends that they had four limbs instead of two limbs of the birds that help them to be able to fly.
