The lecturer insists that evidence of dinosaurs were endotherms unreliable.

This directly contradicts the reading


passage's claim that conisderable evideces that dinsosaurs were endotherms are existing.

First, the lecturer consists that ploar regions that dinosaurs have lived would be much warmer than now. It
means that not only endotherms can live, but dinosaurs can live too. Furthermore, they could hibernate or
migrate to other regions when cold season came. This rebuffs the reading passage's claim that dinosaur lived in
polar region where only endotherms can reside in.

Next, the lecturer states that dinosaurs had special leg position because of their special feature. In fact, size was
crucial for dinosaurs, which lead to positioning leg under the body to support weight. This refutes the reading
passage's claim that leg position and movement of dinosaurs mean that they were endotherms.

Finally, the lecturer argues that dinosuars's growth ring diplayed significant evidence that dinosaurs were not
endotherms. Dinosaurs had growth rings, which were located in their bones, showed that their growing speed
have been decreased or stopped when surrounded conditions were cold which is not the feature of endotherms.
This cast doubt about the reading passage's claims that special feature of bone sturucture was another evidence.

To sum up, the lecturer maintains that dinosaurs were not the endotherms becasue of differences between
present polar conditions and past, misunderstanding the usage of leg position, and evidence of growth ring
located in bones.
