The passage and the lecture present explanations for the ways in which whales manage to migrate long distances. While the reading relies on intelligence and behavioral patterns of whales, the lecture asserts that navigation skills come from the natural instincts and inner magnetic indicators of these animals.
First, the reading states that the animals can navigate in water due to the complex determiner that is located in their brain. It makes a whale intelligent and increases its brain power. By contrast, the lecture states that such a cognitive awareness is solely an instinct. For example, ducks orient not because they are clever but for their natural instinct.
Next, the author tells that the whales can swim long distances because of travelling in straight lines. Being settled in a line, an animal relies on starts and finds a proper direction. However, the lecturer explains this phenomenon by the presence of biomagnetide in animals' brains. With this substance, the whales feel the magnitude of the Earth and can migrate for long distances.
Final argument presented in the reading is that sometimes whales behave strangely because they need to look at starts. This relates to spy hopping, the behaviour when a whale swims with its head directed upwards. Oppositely, the lecturer claims that spy hopping can also be observed among sharks. They use it for hunting and do it during that day, which contradicts to readings' argument about spy hopping at night.
In the final analysis, the passage explains the ability of whales to migrate by their intelligence, settlement in lines and spy hopping. On the contrary, the lecture talks about the instinctive nature of orientation, application of magnetic fields instead of line migration and it also describes the questionable purpose of spy hopping.
