The lecture and the passage are both about the alleged powered flight of pterosaurus. The lecture provides evidence that it could powered flight. However, the reading passage contrasts this idea by offering several arguments.
First, the lecturer claims that the pterosaurus was a warm-blooded animal due to the fact that it had hair and fur typical for these kind of animals. Therefore, according to her it was able to do powered flight. In addition, it had a quick metabolism and it actually could run faster than it the passage considered. The passage states instead that this type of dinosaur was cold-blooded so it couldn't fly because it takes too much energy.
Second, the lecturer confirms that the pterosaurus was able to fly because it had hollow bones. Even though, its weight was an obstacle, this anatomical feature allowed it to fly. The passage refutes this by noting that its weight couldn't sustain flying but it didn't consider the types of bones this animal had though.
Third, the lecture supports the idea that it used all four legs to push-off the ground and fly. The reading passage casts doubt on this by noting that it didn't have enough powerful muscles in the hind legs as proved by fossils.
In conclusion, the lecture supports that the pterosaurus was able to fly while the reading passage contradicts it.
