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

In the reading passage, the author asserts three reasons why the Pterosaurs are not capable of powered flight, which was refuted by the professor in the lecture who claims Pterosaurs could be capable of powered flight.

First, the author suggests that since the Pterosaurs, might as other ancient reptiles, are cold-blooded, they cannot offer enough energy to fly. However, the professor indicates that the Pterosaurs's fossil indicates that the the Pterosaurs have fur covering which is the main feature of the modern bird. Therefore the the Pterosaurs could be warm-blooded. With fur covering and being ward-blooded. The Pterosaurs could produce enough energy to fly.

Second, the author mentions that the Pterosaurs is too heavy to fly. In contrast, the professor points out that there are plenty of characteristic of Pterosaurs' body which could make them light enough to fly. Their bone, for example, are hollow so they can reduce the total weight. Therefore the Pterosaurs are light enough to fly.

Finally, the author insists that the Pterosaurs' back leg are too weak to run fast enough to take off as the modern bird. Nevertheless, the professor claims refutes that there are difference between the modern birds and the Pterosaurs since the modern birds use two legs to take off while the Pterosaurs use all four limbs to take off. According to the recent research, even the most largest Pterosaurs could use their four limbs to run as fast as the modern birds and take off.
