The professor like the idea of humpback’s migration but discusses that humpbacks do not use stars to find their way of migration. This casts doubt on the text which states that humpbacks move in a straight way because they follow stars. In what follows professor mentions some reasons.
First of all, the lecturer asserts that there is no relationship between intelligence and following stars. Because other animals have this ability, too. For instance, some birds like ducks follow the stars but just because they are born with this characteristic and it is their inner capability. This contradicts the idea in reading which states that following stars needs high level of brain activities.
Another outstanding reason that professor mentions is that the humpbacks float on the ocean when they feel magnetic movement because they have a certain spot in their head called bio-magnetic and it is sensitive to the magnet. This opposes the reading, which cites that humpback float on the ocean because they want to sea the stars! Besides that, the stars are not available during daylight.
Finally, the lecturer discusses spy-hopping which means moving in a straight line. He said moving in a specific line is a pure explanation because other animals like sharks can do that, too. But not for migration but for hunting. This casts doubt on the text which states that humpbacks use this method to orient themselves.
To sum up, the professor agrees with the fascinating theory of humpback migration, but he disagrees with the accuracy of the evidence for all above-mentioned reasons.
