TPO 47
The reading passage claims that large pterosaurs were not capable of powered flight. However, the lecturer finds all the ideas dubious and provides some evidence to refute them all.
The author argues that based on modern reptiles, ancient reptiles such as pterosaurs were probably cold-blooded as well. The metabolism in cold-blooded animals does not let them fly, because a flight is an activity requiring a lot of energy. In contrast, the lecturer brings the idea that based on some discovered fossils, the pterosaurs have a dense hair-like covering which is similar to fur. Typically, fur is in warm-blooded animals, so they can save enough energy and they can fly.
Furthermore, the reading passage underlines that pterosaurs are heavy to can keep themselves in the air by powered flight. On the contrary, the speaker holds the view that pterosaurs' anatomic feature was light because their bones were made of hollow rather than solid. Despite their large bodies, they had weight low.
Finally, the reading passage asserts that all animals with powered flight are able to take off from ground. For example, birds, take off by jumping from their legs or running speed and then jumping. But these methods would not have worked for large pterosaurs. Conversely, the lecturer dismisses this issue due to fact that birds walk on the ground and they use their hind limbs to jump, but pterosaurs like bats, have 4 limbs and they can use all of them for running fast enough and jumping high enough.
