The reading passage contends that there were plausible uses of the unusual axe-shaped crests of Lambeosaurus. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several points that contradict this statement.
First of all, the speaker argues that it is utterly preposterous that Lambeosaurus’s crest was used to attract mates. Lambeosaurus considered their certain behaviors and sounds to search mates instead of their looks. He suggests examples of reptiles today to support himself. For instance, when crocodiles had have communication with other opposite sex, they held hold up their heads into the air and make low growling sounds. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that Lambeosaurus applied their distinct crests to capture a potential mate’s attention since female reptiles favored the large crests.
In addition, the speaker insists that Lambeosaurus did not utilize their crests to fight against other creatures. Unlike some specific dinosaurs which had solid and thick crests, the Lambeosaurus’ crest was nearly empty inside, which means it was being too delicate to for combat or to harm predators. This counters the reading passage’s assertion that the use of the unique crest of Lambeosaurus was to fight against predators, using it as a protective shields.
Finally, the professor maintains that the air would not have been supplied to feed on marine plants. (이 문장이랑 주제(unusual axe-shaped crests)랑 무슨 상관인가요? 이 문장 안에서 설명이 되어야 합니다.) This is because Lambeosaurus was quite a large creature. So, if they would have needed air to consume aquatic plants while their heads were in the under water, it must have been given required tremendous amount of oxygen. However, since their crests is were too small to store sufficient air, it would have been depleted in just few minutes. This refutes the reading passage’s explanation that a Lambeosaurus’ crest was applied for the purpose of supplying air to eat aquatic plants, allowing their heads to be submerged underwater for a long time.
