In this set of materials, the reading and the listening are both discussion Humpback Whales wherein the reading states that whales migrate long distances and they may be navigating by the stars, and it provides three possible theories of support. However, the professor notes that there are still many issues with Humpback Whales. Moreover, he challenges each of the author's points. First, the writer of the reading claims that humpback whales seem to be intelligent enough to use stars to navigate by. The professor refutes this point by explaining that humpback whales other animals have an average level of cognitive abilities are able to use stars. Furthermore, the professor provides an example of a duck to illustrate this.
Secondly, the reading states that humpback whales migrate in straight lines. However, the lecturer points out that humpback whales migrate in straight lines by using external force like earth magnate field.
Finally, the author of the reading says that humpback exhibit an unusual behavior to observe the stars. The speaker of the lecture opposes this point by mentions that humpback whales use spy-hopping not for looking to the stars but for looking to other animals to hunt them.
In conclusion, the three points made in the lecture contrast with the reading. The first, second and third points in the lecture demonstrate that using starts to navigate by the humpback whales is in doubt. Additionally, both the writer and the lecturer hold conflicting views about humpback whales.
