The author of the reading passage cites three arguments to support the migration hypothesis that the edmontosaurs lived in Alaska’s North Slope would migrate to survive the wintertime, while the lecturer in the lecture expresses an opposite view.
To begin with, the author claims that the edmontosaurs must migrate to warmer zones to find food because they fed exclusively on plants. However, the lecturer refutes that it is unnecessary to travel such great distance for food resources, since the climate of that region was warmer than it is now one hundred million years ago, and the sun almost shined for 24 hours a day. Therefore, it was an ideal condition where plants could grow abundantly during the warm seasons and thereby led to a lot of dead remains during the winter. For that matter, the edmontosaurs could get nutrition from many dead vegetables so that they did not need to leave their habitat.
Moreover, the author believes that edmontosaurs lived in herds and migration is a typical behavior of that animals. On the contrary, the lecturer rebuts that it could be for other reasons such as extra protection from predators. Also, there are many modern animals which live in group but is actually non-migratory. For example, the rosemary elk reside in the forest of western United States is a kind of animal that moving in herds but has nothing to do with migration. Thus, the herd-living character of edmontosaurs does not mean that they are migratory.
Finally, the author puts forward that edmonosaurs physical ability allows them to migrate long distances. Instead, the lecturer retorts that the young edmonosaurs could not do that. Juvenile edmonosaurs were too weak to cover such long distances, and they would slow down the whole herd. Yet it is impossible for the group to leave the juveniles alone because they could not survive on their own. As a result, the whole herd of edmonosaurs had to stay at the same habitat to take care of their young.
