The passage mainly explains that edmonosaur is a dinosaur were lived in Alaska, paleontologists assumed that this animal migrated during winter to warmer places. The lecture, however, introduces some evidences that undermine such claim.

First, the article claims that edmonosaur fed from plants while plants never grow during cold times: therefore, they would migrate to warmer place for eating plants. The professor casts doubt on this point by saying that Alasak was warmer than now during summer, plants used to benefit from sunshin for growing. It is argued that edmonosaur did not need to migrate because they could eat dead plants during winter.

Second, a lot of edmonosaur skeletons are discovered in same place. That shows they lived in herd for migrating, like modern animal buffalo, as author claims, is repudiated by the lecturer. She mentions that edmonosaurs were lived in herd owing o extra protection front of predators. For example, rosevelt elks, which are big animal live in herd and never migrate.

Third, the reading points out that edmonosaurs were phisycally abl to migrate because they had enough ability for moving and running. In contrast, the speaking says that although big edmonosaurs were able to move for several days, jovenile edmonosaurs were incapable for moving long distances and did not survive.
