The lecturer states that, although the three arguments provided by the reading passage are seemingly acceptable to prove that Pterosaurs were unable to fly, there are several points made by recent researchers indicating that Pterosaurs may be capable of powered flight. The lecturer casts doubt on each argument in the reading passage by presenting these recent viewpoints, as is presented below.
The flaw of the first argument in the reading passage is that Pterosaurs may not be cold-blooded. According to the lecturer, the fossils of Pterosaurs show that there were fur and hair covering on their body, which are commonly used by warm-blooded animals to keep body temperature. That is to say, it is likely that Pterosaurs were also warm-blooded so that they could supply sufficient energy to be able to fly.
In addition, based on anatomical features of Pterosaurs, their bones were hollow, as is mentioned by the lecturer. As a result of the hollow bones, Pterosaurs could be weight low despite they had large bodies. Therefore, they might be able to keep airborne by flapping their wings, which contradicts to the reading passage.
Moreover, the lecturer contends that there are differences between Pterosaurs and birds. The birds use only two legs for walking and running. However, Pterosaurs could use all four limbs to walk and run. As a result, they may be similar to bats which use their four limbs to push off from grounds to launch themselves to fly, which is a contrast to the passage.
