Large Pterosaus: The Possibility Of Powered Flight

Decent Essays
The reading claims that large pterosaus were capable of powered flight, however, the professor find all the ideas mentioned by the reading passage dubious and think that they may were capable of powered flight and present some reasons to refute them all.
The author argues that pewrosaus were cold blooded since modern reptiles are cold blooded too, therefore they were not able to produce a lot of energy which is needed for powered flight. Conversely, the lecturer brings up that this reason is questioned by recent fossil remains due to the fact that fossil remained show that they had hair like the fur of the birds which shows that they were warm blooded like all fury birds and this furs could keep them warm enough and maintain high temperature,

    This essay is going to be about two articles called “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” (Lauren Tarshis) and “Saving Penguins, One Sweater At A Time” (Kristin Lewis). Did you know that little penguins are a species of penguin, so named because they can range anywhere from 10 to 12 inches tall (Kristin Lewis). When oil gets on penguins their feathers clump up, when this happens it exposes their skin and allows all the cold water and poisonous oil to get to their skin and make them cold (Lauren Tarshis 16). The penguins from “ The Amazing Penguin Rescue” and “ Saving Penguins, One Sweater At A Time” should be brought to a zoo close to home because it can prevent them from dying from poisonous oil spill when searching for food.…

    Scientists have recently discovered Dreadnought, a very large plant-eating dinosaur. Dreadnought is the world’s largest dinosaur measuring 85 feet wide and weighing in at 65 tons (130,000) pounds, It was 7x more massive than the Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex). It was named after the first steel battleships. When discovered in Argentina the Dreadnought’s skeleton had 70% of its bones, making it one of the most complete dinosaur fossils to be found. Sadly the skull wasn’t preserved.…

    After years of debate, scientists now know that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds, not reptiles. Dr Jakob, along with scores of other palaeontologists, have confirmed that dinosaurs as large as T. rex were covered in feathers rather than scales. " Velociraptors featured quite heavily in the film. We know that there's not a single inch of a velociraptor's body, apart from nails and claws, that wasn't covered in…

    Cane toads, as many vertebrates, increase their population and expand to new habitats by movement and locomotion (Kearney et al. 2008). The importance of temperature in movement and locomotion relies in the consumption of oxygen, either used in metabolic process when resting (resting oxygen) or used in respiration (maximal oxygen) and blood flow (Seebacher & Franklin 2011). According to Seebacher & Franklin (2011) when temperature increases the use of resting oxygen increases, however it is counteract by increasing the use of maximal oxygen, enabling the animal to move, which can lead to succeed in warmer environments. Moreover, it demonstrates that temperature can be considered a limiting factor when studying dispersal of…

    Various explanations abound from Moreau’s initial discovery onward as to what exactly accounts for the variation, but none so far have held water with the scientific community for very long. In this most recent study, evolutionary ecologist Thomas Martin documented life history characteristics of both tropical and temperate songbirds, focusing on closely related species across the latitudinal divide. His team determined that in comparison to the temperate birds, the tropical songbirds grow longer wings, they grow them more quickly, and they appropriate more resources per egg to their nesting offspring. Tropical songbirds also historically experience greater threats of nest predation than do temperate…

    If they were not endothermic they would have needed to have physiological adaptations or limitations on movement that are not seen today in modern terrestrial vertebrates. It is believed by some that dinosaurs could have been ectothermic and that they had a better vo2 max than modern reptiles. This theory can be disregarded because even though dinosaur respiratory systems are not well understood the five largest dinosaurs would have needed 30-90 times greater vo2 max at rest than modern reptiles. Even during slow running the estimated aerobic power for large dinosaurs was 100-500% above the ectothermic maximum for aerobic power. An additional argument was presented they researchers did not know exactly where the center of mass is on dinosaurs and because of this they were unable to accurately measure their locomotor costs.…

    To begin with, 65 million years ago was the start of the Paleocene epoch that was the establishment of the tertiary period on earth. Due to the extinction of the dinosaurs during the previous period, there was a heap amount of mammals accumulating and evolving from their original size and aspects. Many forms of animals existed big, small, and of many different sizes; rapidly increasing in numbers by reproduction. In this epoch, carnivores were very large in numbers. For example, a bird that was one of the top predators during this time was the Phorusrhacids known as flightless birds or terror birds.…

    SOME DINOSAURS WERE LIKELY TO BE WARM BLOODED Dinosaurs belong to class Reptilia and so for many years scientists thought that they were cold blooded, with slow metabolisms and dominated the planet for about 135 million years. However, birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic, with fast metabolic rates, raising the question of whether or not their extinct dinosaur relatives were also warm-blooded. Whether the extinct dinosaurs were ectothermic or endothermic or combination of both to some extent is one of the greatest controversies in paleontology. Every possibility is supported by groups of scientists with reasonable evidences.…

    The article and lecture offer two contrasting views on the pterosaurs' powered flight capability. The author asserts that they didn't have such capability and they were able only to glide and cites three reasons to support. Contrary to the passage, the professor demonstrates that the presented explanations are unconvincing and therefore, they were capable of powered flight. First of all, the passage contends that modern reptiles are cool-blooded animals and hence, pterosaurs, as a member of reptiles family, were probably cool-blooded too.…

    Dinosaur Migration Essay

    • 3 Pages

    The largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have embarked on seasonal migrations that covered hundreds of kilometres when local watering holes dried up and food became scarce. Evidence that giant sauropods set off on epic journeys came to light when scientists examined fossilised teeth recovered from the remains of beasts unearthed in Wyoming and Utah in the US. The analysis of 32 teeth belonging to two species of Camarasaurus, among the most common sauropods found in North America, suggests the creatures migrated during hot, dry summers, from their usual habitats on flood plains in search of food and water in surrounding uplands.…

    Essay On Thermoregulation

    • 737 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Even so, the general trend across the data presented is that dinosaurs were either endotherms or ectotherms with alterations from what we see today, or had their own method of thermoregulation which lies somewhere between the two. Since it’s difficult to obtain samples of dinosaurs, whether it be from bone isotope compositing, ranges of growth/age of different species or bone structure, therefore it’s difficult to extrapolate data which may contradict with another researcher’s work. There is a wide variety of techniques used to determine thermoregulation, but most of the results have not been replicated, even when using the same method. Due to this dichotomy, thermoregulation of dinosaurs will remain a mystery until more definitive methods are established, or a time…
