The reading passage contends that dinosaurs must have possessed feathers like modern birds, and provides several evidences that seem to uphold its claim. However, the lecture points out that not all proof indicate as mentioned in the reading passage and provides several advocating reasons. The evidences mentioned in the lecture will be elaborated in more detail below. First of all, the lecture refutes the point made in the reading passage, which asserts that dinosaurs possessed feathers that are a defining trait of their descendants, by mentioning that modern birds have been evolved from specfic types of groups of dinosaurs. Also, evidences show that not all descendants possess feathers like the modern birds, which have been inherited from Therapods. This proves that not all dinosaurs had feathers. Second, while the reading passage contends that there exists physical evidence that indicates that some dinosaurs definitely had feathers, the lecture disapproves this point by commenting that many fossils that contain skin impressions are not feathers. Actually, multiple skin samples indicate that the dinosaurs had different types of skins other than having feathers, such as being bumpy or either having scales or plates. Last but not least, the reading passage claims that the dinosaurs must have had feathers in a way of regulating temperature. While the lecture agrees that this may be true, it also mentions that this is not applicable to larger dinosaurs who are referred to as gigantothermy. Because of their immense size, their internal temperature changes in a very slow rate, eliminating the need for feathers to regulate their body temperature and provides an example of sea turtles as proof. Moreover, for those who rely on Sun for heat, feathers would have actually blocked the sunlight, making it extremely unhelpful in regulating temperature.
