TPO 29

In this set of material, the author and the lecture disagree on the merit of whether the Edmontosaurus dinosaurs; which have Elephant- size fossils, migrated from the harsh north weather of Alaska 's North Slope, the area of humungous snow in the arctic climate. The reading passage supports a theory of migration and states three postulated reasons. He believes that the feeding habits of than animal which was herbivores, the unearthed skeletons from the same site of that dinosaur were many mimic herds new animals, and the physical and the speed capacity of migration for long distance. In contrary, the professor in the lecture challenges the passage. He presents three counterclaims in the lecture proving that all the reading hypothesis are skeptical. Following is a brief interpretation of this perspective.

Frist of all, the reading passage claims that the Endomontosaur's plant diet helped than dinosaur to migrate in the harsh weather searching for a place warmer and rich with plants. However, the listening passage refutes this idea of the reading; he believes that the climate back time was not cold. In fact, it was warmer; the sunshine was 24 hours daily, and richer with plant food which supported that dinosaur to settle and never migrated.

Secondly, the reading passage asserts that the fossilized skeleton unearthed of that dinosaur was similar to many herds mammals in our recent life which encourage the possibility of migration. Nevertheless, the lecturer opposes the passage in this point of view, too. He thinks that living in a herd does not necessary that animal should migrate. In actuality, there are several mammals in our recent life which live in a herd but not migrated. He gives an example of species of Elk in the USA which are plant eater; they prefer living in a pack to give them more protection and support and not to migrate.

Last but not the least, the writer in the essay argues that the substantial body of that Elephant size dinosaur made it capable of moving long distances. He claims that the endomosaurs were able to migrate in a good and fast pace about 1,600 kilometers in an average of 5 km/hr towards the south and warmer environment. Whereas, the professor in the lecture casts on doubt with this argument. He questioned the capability of the youngest or juveniles endomosaurs dinosaurs; they did not have the same speed or the capacity of their adult herds to migrate that long distance with this speed. Furthermore, the mature once of that dinosaur did not move or change their place leaving their youngs behinds. Therefore, it was impossible to predict the migration theory a convincing theory.
