TPO-47 - Integrated Writing Task Pterosaurs were an ancient group of winged reptiles that lived alongside the dinosaurs. Many pterosaurs were very large, some as large as a giraffe and with a wingspan of over 12 meters. Paleontologists have long wondered

The both reading and lecture discuss three hypothesis around Pterosaurs which were ancient group of winged reptiles could fly with their heavy bodies or not. The author mentions that palentologists are in dilemma whether they could fly or glide with a wingspan over 12 meters. However, the speaker disagrees and explains three counterarguments.
To begin with, the article points out that Pterosaurs were cold-blooded. Therefore, they could not produce lots of energy. In fact, these kind of animals need much more energy to fly with those heavy wings. As a result, they have not been able to fly. Otherwise, the lecture oposes this idea and indicates that Pterosaurs had hallow bones instead of solid ones. Hence, their weight should be low enogh to easily fly.

Moreover, the text posits that Pterosaurs were so huge such as a giraffe. So, they did not have the ability to flap their wings to be fast in any length of time. On the other hand, the speaker denies and mentions thatif these kind of animals were look like a bird we ca accept this idea. But they do not. In other words, they had many differences with birds. For instance, they have hind limbs which help them to flap their heavy wings.

Finally, the passage explains that Pterasaurs had two small and weak back legs. So, they could not be able to be fast or jump like other birds. In contrast, the reading section disagrees and illustrates that Pterasaurs had four limbs and they walk with all of them. In addition, they use all of them not only back ones. Therefore, they were fast enough in jumping and running.
