Large numbers of dinosaur fossils have been discovered in deposits on Alaska's North Slope, a region that today experiences an extremely cold,arctic climate. One hundred million years ago, when those dinosaurs were alive, the environment of the North Slope was already inhospitable,especially during the winter when it experienced several months of total darkness. How did the dinosaurs survive the wintertime? Paleontologists have proposed that one of the most common North Slope dinosaurs, the elephant-sized edmontosaur (Edmontosaurus), survived the winter by migrating south to more hospitable regions. Several arguments support the migration hypothesis.
First, the edmontosaur's diet supports the migration hypothesis.Edmontosaurs fed exclusively on plants. Since there would have been no plants growing during the cold and dark North Slope winter, it appears that the edmontosaur must have left for at least part of the year and migrated to more temperate zones to find food.
Second, many edmontosaur skeletons have been unearthed from the same site. This suggests that edmontosaurs lived in herd. Many modern-day migratory animals, such as caribou and buffalo, live and migrate in herds as well. Moving in herds helps animals coordinate their migration.The finding that edmonotsaurs lived in herds further supports the migration hypothesis.
Finally, edmonosaurs were physically capable of migrating long distances. To reach more hospitable regions, the edmontosaur had to migrate about 1,600 kilometers southward. To make such a journey, the edmontosaur needed to move at about five kilometers per hour for several weeks, which is certainly could do. These animals could run very fast, reaching speeds up to 45 kilometers per hour. It could have easily used its locomotive power to move to warmer climate during the harsh arctic winters.
The reading and lecture both are about the edmontosaur whether they have migrated or not. The author of the reading feels that edmontosaur must have migrated to the south. The lecturer challenges the claim made by the author by refuting each reason stated by the author of the reading. he is of the opinion that edomontosaur must not have migrated to survive the winters.
To begin with, the author argues that edmontosuar were exclusively fed on the plants and during the winter their would be no plants growing which supports claim made by author about the migration. this specific argument is challenged by the lecture. she claims that during the summer their were more vegetation grown during that time which would be useful to them during the winters . Additionally she states that dead vegetation of summer were enough for them to survive their winters.
Secondly the writer suggest that edmontosaur used to live in the herd and it shows that many animals living in herd are migratory. In article it is stated that living in herds helps animals in the migration and tried to show that edomontosaur were migratory. In the lecture author rebut this by mentioning that living in herds doesn't mean they were migratory. he elaborates this by mentioning up the point that living in herd provides the animals extra protection and on that basis it can't be justified that they were migratory.
Finally the author posits the edmontosaur were capable of travelling long distance to reach hospitable regions. Moreover in article it is stated that edmontosaur particularly has speed much higher than required. In contrast the lecturer position is that in the herd their would be many juveniles which would be not capable to migrate to the south. she notes that grown up edmontosaur would not be able to migrate to south with the juveniles and would not left them back in the cold winters.
