dinosaurs
The lecture, as well as the reading, are about an old dinosaur called R. robustus and its eating habits. The reading states that this dinosaur was not a scavenger mammal, as some researchers have assumed. In contrast to the reading, the professor suggests that the reading does not consider some important points about its features and habits. The lecturer supports her argument by providing three reasons.
First of all, the reading claims that the R. robustus was a small mammal that could not have eaten a big dinosaur as the Psittacosaur. However, the professor refutes this point. She says that it is clear that the R. robusts did not eat a huge dinosaur, but they could have eaten babies dinosaur. She mentions that the R.robusts was two sizes bigger than babbies dinosaur, so it was possible that they could have eaten it.
Second, according to the reading, the R.robustus have small legs. Therefore they look like a scavenger than a hunter. Nevertheless, the lecturer disputes this argument. She argues that there are modern-hunter animals that have small legs as well; it is called the Tasmanian devil. She points out that the Tasmanian devil can reach 15 km/hour; hence it is an animal that can chase after prey actively and successfully.
Finally, the reading states that this dinosaur did not leave evidence on the bones like some mark when they ate their prey. Nonetheless, the lecturer believes that this mammal has powerful jaws, and they swallowed its prey. She thinks that is the main reason why researchers did not find marks in bones’ prey.
