Tpo 34
The reading and the listening materials have a debate on the causes of Steller's sea cow's extinction. The writer puts forward 3 main hypotheses, which refuted by following speaker.
First, the writer suggests that over hunting by residents of Siberian people caused this extinction. They need food resources in hundreds of years. While the speaker views this issue from an opposite angle. According to him each sea cow's weight was about 10 Tones, so this amount for little native people was more than their need for killing them every day. As a result, they did not need a lot of them.
The second preposition offered by the writer is that environmental fluctuation in sea cow's food source -kelp- caused their extinction. However, the speaker casts doubt on this assumption by saying that if such situation happened, it should effect to other marine animals like walls and fishes. But there is not any evidence and report of decline in them.
Lastly, the author proposes that European fur trader killed sea cows after their arriving to the island at 1741, which resulted to their extinction. On the contrary, the speaker holds an opposite view. She explains that 100 year before coming the trader, the population of sea cows had been reduced, Thus, the extinction of these mammals did not related to European's over hunting.
In all, the ideas mentioned in the listening passage opposes the ideas in the reading passage according 3 above reasons.
