The reading passage contends that pterosaurs would not have been capable of powered flight and presents several evidences that seem to uphold the claim. However, the lecture disapproves the reading passage by claiming that recent research indicates that pterosaurs were actually capable of performing powered flight. The points made in the lecture will be elaborated in more detail below. First of all, the lecture counterpoints the reading passage, which asserts that pterosaurs were probably cold-blooded animals and would have been unable to produce enough energy for the powered flight, by mentioning that several fossils of pterosaurs had dense hair-like covering, much like fur. Furs are a typical physical feature of warm-blooded animals, and would have helped animals in maintaining a stable metabolism during airborne. Moreover, it would have supplied enough energy needed for powered flight. Secondly, while the reading passage maintains that pterosaurs would have been too heavy to stay in the air by powered flight, the lecture refutes this reason by commenting that they had an anatomical feature. They were unusually light despite their large size due to having a hollow, lightweight bone. Due to such lightweight bone, they would have been lighter than expected, and would have been able to stay airborne by flapping their wings. Last but not least, the reading passage contends that pterosarus would not have been able to take off from the ground to perform powered flight because they had small back leg muscles. However, the lecture disputes this assertion by explaining that they did not take off as birds do. Unlike birds, which use two legs in order to take off, pterosaurs walked on all four limbs and used all their legs to push off from the ground. Using all four legs would have allowed them to run fast and jump high enough to launch into the air.
