TPO 49 Integrated Writing Task

It is stated in the article that humpback whales may be navigating by the stars. The article also provides three reasons to support this opinion. However, the professor explains that navigation skills of humpback whales come from the natural instincts and inner magnetic indicators of these animals. His statements directly contradict each of the reasons pointed out in the reading passage.

First, the reading claims that humpback whales are intelligent animals and can use stars for navigation. But the professor disproves this point by saying that there aren’t any relationship between intelligence and animal’s ability to use stars for navigation. Because other animals such as ducks use stars to navigate but these animal not highly intelligent. He states that these animals in fact use their instinct to navigation.

Then, as the second reason, the article posits that humpback whales use stars to navigate in direct direction. Nevertheless , the professor draws attention to the point that humpback have biomagnetic in their brain. According to the professor, presence of biomagnetic in their brain suggest that they orient themselves by megnatic rather than stars.

At the end, as the third reason, the reading mentions that spy-hopping is applied for looking at the stars. But on the other hand, the lecture clearly refutes this point by explaining that spy-hopping has nothing to do with looking at stars. He illustrates his opinion by adding that other animals such as sharks do the same but sharks don’t migrate.
