Chapter 248 Dad, Why Is This Dinosaur so Ugly! [Over 7,000 Words, a Long Chapter! ]
"Okay, Dad, I know, but look, that stegosaurus is coming towards us!" The little guy just felt lost, and when he looked up, he saw that one of the clumsy big guys was walking towards him and his father.
This made Xiaowu excited!
Of course, he was nervous and uneasy!
They didn't know what this clumsy big guy wanted to do by walking towards them.
However, this stegosaurus eats plants, so even if it came to Ye Fan, at least it shouldn't be eaten.
Ye Fan came to his son's side and protected his son behind him, and then both father and son looked at the behemoth in front of them nervously.
It's a behemoth.
The two of them stood in front of this stegosaurus, just like looking at a tall giant, and the two of them were only the height of one of the other's front legs.
The stegosaurus looked at the two people in front of him, sniffed at them with his nose, and seemed to smell a little different smell.
It had never smelled a breath before.
Ye Fan and Xiaowu were very nervous and curious about the actions of this big guy.
Xiao Wu slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the big guy in front of him.
Ye Fan looked at his son's white and tender little hand, and he glared at his son behind him. This child is really brave.
Aren't you afraid of the other party's bite?
However, Ye Fan didn't feel anything bad on the other party. Presumably, this big guy has never seen humans, and the breath of strangers, so he came to check it out curiously.
However, this stegosaurus looked at it up close, and the head really looked like a lizard.
Looking at it, there are some bright bone plates on the back, which look very unique.
At this time, I don't know what happened to the big guy, and he stretched out his long and thin tongue and licked his son's little hand.
Ye Fan was shocked when he saw this scene!
Good guy!
Is this a good impression of his son?
Xiao Wu was even more shocked!
Looking at his hand with some saliva, his eyes were very confused.
In fact, he wanted to touch the big guy's head, but he didn't expect that he was licked by the other party.
"Dad, I'm not clean anymore, I was licked by the stegosaurus!" Xiao Wu looked at his hand, his little face suddenly became sad, his watery eyes were full of grievance.
Ye Fan looked at this scene, and instantly felt a little...
This child!
What is this saying!
What do you mean by not clean!
What about being licked!
Didn't he stretch out his hand for the other party to lick?
Now, he started to feel aggrieved.
It's really shameless!
However, Ye Fan didn't expect such a scene.
And this big guy tilted his head curiously and looked at Ye Fan and his son.
It was very curious about these two inexplicable races that suddenly appeared!
Such a weak, are you sure you can survive in this world?
In the eyes of the stegosaurus, these two are a new magical species. Anyway, he saw them for the first time.
Ye Fan saw that the stegosaurus was really curious about them.
In addition to curiosity, there was really nothing else.
It was because of curiosity that he came to the side of the father and son and observed them carefully.
This is really strange!
In the past, they were all in the zoo, watching those animals.
Now, the father and son are being observed by this stegosaurus like the animals in the zoo.
In the past, it was humans who observed animals, but now, it's the other way around!
However, this feeling is a bit strange.
"Dad, I feel like we are being watched by this dinosaur like monkeys in the zoo." Xiao Wu said what he was thinking all at once.
Children usually say whatever they think.
"It's okay." Ye Fan comforted.
In fact, it is true.
However, the good thing is that there is no danger.
This dinosaur is not disgusting to them.
This is a good sign.
"Yeah, I'm not afraid with my dad here!" Xiao Wu said very firmly, and his eyes were also very serious looking at the big guy in front of him.
Soon, the stegosaurus seemed to lose interest, and then turned around and slowly left.
Ye Fan and Xiao Wu saw this scene and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the dinosaur had no malice, being stared at by such a prehistoric creature made them a little nervous.
Of course, Ye Fan is because you are worried about your child Xiaowu.
If he is alone, there is no need to worry about anything.
With his own child around, he always remains vigilant and worried.
"Dad, he is gone!" Xiaowu said.
"Yeah, it's okay, don't be afraid, Dad will take you to the last era, the Cretaceous period." As he said, he picked up Xiaowu and used the shuttle skill directly.
He remembered that his baby son had always been thinking about the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
This Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared in the Cretaceous period.
Of course, this Tyrannosaurus Rex is very famous among the dinosaur race.
Before Xiaowu could react, he fell into the black hole.
When they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived at a green area.
Before the two of them could react, they felt the chaos around them.
Ye Fan looked around vigilantly and saw two Tyrannosaurus rex fighting not far away, and the powerful big tail was thrown on the body of another Tyrannosaurus rex.
Looking at it, I felt that it was extremely ferocious.
Ye Fan hugged his son directly and hid in the grass next to a tree.
"Dad, this is Tyrannosaurus rex!" The little guy's voice was obviously a little excited.
Unexpectedly, the Tyrannosaurus rex that I had longed for could be seen under such circumstances.
But why are these two Tyrannosaurus fighting?
Xiao Wu was a little confused, but that didn't stop him from looking at his favorite dinosaur.
"Of course, I didn't expect that my son is really powerful. He immediately saw that he was a Tyrannosaurus rex!" Ye Fan said, patting Xiao Wu's head with praise.
"Hey, Dad, I've seen a lot of pictures, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized it!" Xiao Wu scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
Not so!
Because he likes Tyrannosaurus rex the most, he has watched a lot of pictures, animations, TV introductions, etc.
So, you can recognize it at a glance!
This still has something to do with whether you like it or not.
You know, just now, he saw so many dinosaurs and he didn't recognize any of them, but when he saw the Tyrannosaurus rex, he recognized them instantly.
"As I know, Tyrannosaurus rex is also called Tyrannosaurus. It is the largest one in the family Tyrannosaurus. Its body length is about 11.5-14.7 meters. The average hip height is about 4 meters. The highest hip height can reach about 5.2 meters, and the head height is the highest. Nearly 6 meters. The average weight is about 9 tons (the ecological average is about 7.6 tons), the maximum weight is 14.85 tons, the maximum head length is about 1.55 meters, the bite force is generally 90,000 Newtons-120,000 Newtons, and the maximum at the end of the mouth is 200,000 Newtons. It is also the strongest carnivorous dinosaur."
"Tyrannosaurus rex has very small forelimbs, only 22% of the length of its hind limbs. The average length of an individual is only about 80 centimeters. Compared with the huge size and hind limbs of Tyrannosaurus rex, the forelimbs are very small, equivalent to the arm of an adult. "
"Their arms are very thin and the long skull of the small Tyrannosaurus rex puts its forelimbs further back. The pair of forelimbs cannot reach forward to reach its mouth, nor can it touch its own mouth, nor can it touch itself. The feet may be used just as balancing tools to balance their huge heads," Ye Fan explained to his son.
"It turns out that this guy is so powerful, and his claws are grown because of maintaining balance. Dad, look, the teeth of this Tyrannosaurus rex are so big and sharp. We can see the sharp teeth from this far away. It's shining with white light!" the little guy said in surprise, his face became serious.
It seems that to the thinker, if this is when hunting prey, it can easily kill the opponent!
It's really terrible!
Too violent!
No wonder, it’s also called Tyrannosaurus!
This name really fits all the characteristics of this Tyrannosaurus rex!
This huge body is like a hill, and the bloody mouth and the sharp teeth exposed are shocking to look at.
"You see, Tyrannosaurus rex's teeth are the largest in the dinosaur world. Each tooth is 30 centimeters long. Like a hacksaw, it can easily tear and reject prey. His feet are sharp and have the courage to fight. , this Tyrannosaurus rex has no rival in the late Cretaceous period. It is the undisputed overlord of the generation and the most famous dinosaur in the world! "
"Look, some of their bodies are thick and tall, and some are slender. The book says that this is how to identify their gender. The thick ones are female, and the slender ones are male!"
Ye Fan said word by word, telling his son patiently.
Xiao Wu also listened very carefully, and began to compare what his father Ye Fan said.
"As expected, he is my favorite dinosaur. He is so domineering and domineering!" Xiao Wu nodded, his eyes full of heat.
Unexpectedly, this Tyrannosaurus rex in the book was so artificially created by people in the world that it existed as a dominant overlord.
Thinking about this, I feel so excited, so excited!
"Tyrannosaurus rex was at the top of the food chain in the late Cretaceous. At that time, all kinds of dinosaurs in North America could basically become its prey. Sometimes they would also attack long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs like Alamosaurus. Pachycephalosaurus due to its size Smaller ones are generally not in the diet of Tyrannosaurus rex. Ankylosaurus is rarely preyed on by Tyrannosaurus rex. Some other carnivorous dinosaurs distributed in North America at that time, such as dwarf Tyrannosaurus, may have some competition with Tyrannosaurus rex, but they are far from rivals of Tyrannosaurus rex. "
"This dinosaur was a turning point in the evolution of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Unlike other small predatory dinosaurs at the time, it used its jaws to kill prey instead of using its forelimbs. This adaptive change caused the rise of Tyrannosaurus rex and the With its unique appearance, Tyrannosaurus rex was originally derived from Eotyrannosaurus, which was slender and had long forelimbs. When it evolved into Duosaurus, its head became larger and its forelimbs became shorter. Duosaurus was similar to Tyrannosaurus rex. , but when you look closely at each feature, you will find that it is more primitive than Tyrannosaurus rex.”
"Many people believe that there are two closest relatives of Tyrannosaurus rex: one is Daspletosaurus in North America. Tyrannosaurus rex has a large bony protrusion above its eyes, while the Tyrannosaurus rex fossil found in Montana has a relatively large bony protrusion. Not prominent, and even smaller in early Daspletosaurus. The second is the Asian Tarbosaurus. Tarbosaurus was originally called Tyrannosaurus, but in fact they have many differences, such as the hindbrain stem connected to the head. "
"Dinosaurs grew very slowly throughout their lives, just like other reptiles, but Sue, the largest and longest-lived Tyrannosaurus rex discovered so far, only lived 28 years old. Tyrannosaurus rex had a rapid growth rate during its development stage. During this period, the growth rate is very high, almost 4 pounds of meat can be gained every day. This explosive growth allows Tyrannosaurus to grow into a huge body in a short period of time.”
Ye Fan continued to talk, letting his son know more about this Tyrannosaurus rex.
"Dad, this Tyrannosaurus rex is so powerful. It can actually grow four pounds of meat every day. However, its lifespan is a bit extreme, only 28 years." The little guy seemed a little regretful.
He thought that human beings have a life span of at least sixty or seventy years, and some are over a hundred years old.
Unexpectedly, Tyrannosaurus rex could only live for 28 years!
It’s a bit short~~life!
"It's not that young anymore. Look, the cats and dogs at home are all about fifteen years old at most. This dinosaur can be over twenty years old, which is considered very powerful. Of course, it can't be compared with humans!" Ye Fan said.
This kid...
"That's right!" Xiao Wu nodded, seeming to agree with his father's words.
28 years is not too short.
"The difference between Tyrannosaurus rex and other carnivorous dinosaurs is that although Tyrannosaurus rex will not increase in size after it reaches adulthood, its bones will become thicker and stronger with age. Its bones are the densest among all carnivorous dinosaurs. Yes, compared with other carnivorous dinosaurs with similar body shapes, Tyrannosaurus rex is much heavier. After all, it is the thickest carnivorous dinosaur. Due to the influence of speed, the terrifying body collision force is even more terrifying, and at the end of the Cretaceous period, It exists to rule the entire land," Ye Fan said again.
"Really, he is indeed my favorite dinosaur!" Xiao Wu said proudly.
Ye Fan looked at such a son, his eyes full of doting.
"Roar~~" Over there, the two Tyrannosaurus rex were still fighting.
The slightly larger Tyrannosaurus Rex swung its tail away, and immediately swept the smaller Tyrannosaurus Rex to the ground.
The smaller Tyrannosaurus rex fell to the ground, and the thick skin on his body was scarred and bleeding...
And the situation of the larger Tyrannosaurus rex was not very good either.
Its body is also covered in scars, but compared to the smaller Tyrannosaurus rex, it is indeed much better.
"Roar~~" The big Tyrannosaurus rex roared at the small Tyrannosaurus rex.
It's like a demonstration!
Then, the next second, the Tyrannosaurus rex turned around and strode away like a winner.
Not far away, another stronger Tyrannosaurus rex ran towards the victorious Tyrannosaurus rex, and the two Tyrannosaurus rex slowly left.
The injured and defeated Tyrannosaurus rex stood up and left in despair.
Ye Fan looked at this scene and he was a little curious.
According to the book, the female Tyrannosaurus rex is thicker, which means...
"Dad, why are these three Tyrannosaurus fighting? How come the fight is over? Two ends left, and the other one also left independently. It looks very sad!" Xiao Wu said with some confusion, his eyes were very confused.
He doesn't understand why
We are all of the same kind, why do we need everyone?
The larger Tyrannosaurus Rex next to it seemed to be acting as a referee.
What are you doing?
"Silly boy, you are still young, but dad can tell you that the two of them are in love!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
Hahaha
But that’s it, it’s all because of love!
In many cases, this animal still looks a lot like humans.
"Dad, why don't I understand even more!" Xiao Wu scratched his head, very confused.
Why, he didn't understand what his father said.
What love!
"You are still young, you will understand when you grow up!" Ye Fan said.
The two of them walked cautiously forward.
"Dad, look, what is that? It looks like there is a tumor on his head. It's so ugly!" Xiao Wu looked disgusted.
This is the first time I saw such an ugly dinosaur!
This girl is so ugly!
They say it doesn’t matter if you look ugly, but it’s your fault that you look ugly and look scary.
Ye Fan looked in the direction his son said. When he saw the dinosaur, he turned back and looked at his son beside him. This kid was really amazing.
Even at a young age, we all know that we should look at the good-looking ones and dislike the ugly ones.
"Son, it's not a tumor on your head!" Ye Fan shook his head, his eyes full of smiles.
"I saw it, it's the tumor mentioned on TV. It's so ugly, so ugly!" The little guy waved his hand in disgust.
In his opinion, it was a tumor!
"This is Pachycephalosaurus, also known as Pachycephalosaurus. It is about 5 meters long, with a swollen head, as if it has a giant tumor. It walks on two thick hind legs. It is a kind of ornithopod dinosaur. The face and mouth are decorated with horny or bony protrusions or tumors; the back of the head is covered with protruding structures, and the top of the skull is surprisingly thick and bulging, with a thickness of 25 cm. Due to the swelling and thickening of the skull, some holes in the skull are also closed." Ye Fan said.
"Dad, look, this name really suits it!" Xiao Wu said with a smile.
This name is really amazing!
"You kid!" Ye Fan shook his head helplessly.
"Hehe, Dad, I really didn't expect that there are dinosaurs with such strange looks!" Xiao Wu explained.
He was worried that his father would be unhappy if he said this.
Since Dad doesn't want him to dislike them, then don't dislike them!
"Pachycephalosaurs may like to live in groups. Adult male individuals determine the leader of the group by butting heads. During the breeding season, they may also decide the winner in this way, and the winner will mate with female individuals. However, the thick head of the pachycephalosaur cannot help it resist the attack of predators. It has a keen sense of smell and vision. When it finds an enemy, it will quickly flee."
"Dad, look over there, that looks like a rhino!" Xiao Wu immediately pointed over there and said.
Ye Fan turned his head and saw that there were several Triceratops on the other side.
"What rhino? That's a Triceratops!" Ye Fan said.
"This one looks really fierce. Those two sharp horns, I feel that it can kill the prey in one go. Dad, let's get away quickly, this is really terrible!" Xiao Wu said, pulling his father.
These two big sharp horns look scary!
"You kid, you know you're scared, haha, what's there to be afraid of? It's a dinosaur that eats plants. It's very docile. There's nothing wrong with it as long as you don't provoke it!" Ye Fan said. 、
"Really? It looks like this, but it eats grass. This is a bit outrageous!" Xiao Wu murmured.
He thought it was a carnivore.
"Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous dinosaurs in the Ceratopsidae family of the Ornithischia order Ceratopsia. Triceratops is a medium-sized quadruped dinosaur, 7-9 meters long, 2.4-2.8 meters high, and weighs 5.5-10 tons. They have very large frills and three horns, reminiscent of modern rhinos."
"The most notable features of Triceratops are their horns and frills. Their frills can grow to more than 1.5 meters. There is a horn above the nostrils of the snout of Triceratops; and a pair of horns above the eyes, more than 80 centimeters. The back of the head is a relatively short bony frill."
"The book says that the horns and frills of this Triceratops may not be used to defend against predators, but more likely to be a show-off to attract mates."
"Of course, this Triceratops is one of the strongest plant-based dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period. Your favorite Tyrannosaurus Rex did not dare to prey on them easily." Ye Fan said.
"I didn't expect that this modern rhino is so powerful!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up and his face was full of excitement.
Unexpectedly, the Tyrannosaurus Rex dared not to provoke this Triceratops, it's amazing!
You really can't judge by appearance.
However, if this big head is hit, it will be either dead or disabled!
"Dad, look at the dinosaurs over there, what type are they, why are they all together!" Xiao Wu said.
"The one you are talking about is still an ankylosaur, which looks a bit like a tank, also called a tank dragon!" Ye Fan said. ,
Seeing his children so curious about these dinosaurs, Ye Fan is also very happy.
This is also learning knowledge.
This is a prehistoric creature, it's good to learn more and know more.
Unexpectedly, his children are so studious, of course, for these dinosaurs.
"This one looks a bit ugly!" Xiao Wu said.
Anyway, he doesn't like this appearance!
It's very strange!
"The head of the ankylosaur is broad and flat, with a thick plate covering the face and triangular spines on the upper side of the head, making its head look like a steel helmet."
"The ankylosaur with a face full of bone armor may use this to avoid predators, but wearing this layer of armor, especially the "helmet", will be very hot. In order to keep cool, the ankylosaur has evolved a complex and tortuous nasal cavity with blood vessels, which help control heat changes."
"The upper part of the ankylosaur's body is covered with thick scales, with two rows of spines on the back and a pair of horns on the top of the head. The ankylosaur has a tail like a golf club. Its four legs are short, its neck is also short, and its head is wide.
Ankylosaurs lived in the late Cretaceous , and many carnivorous dinosaurs. Its bones, nail-like plates and hammer-shaped tail (also called tail club) provide good protection. Its skeleton was discovered in Montana and belongs to the last extinct dinosaur group. "
"Full-grown ankylosaurs are very large compared to most modern land animals. Ankylosaurs are about 20 feet long, 1.5 feet wide and 1.7 feet high. Their bodies are flat and wide. Ankylosaurs walk on four legs, with their hind legs longer than their front legs. "
"The most obvious feature of ankylosaurs is their armor, which consists of solid tubercles and plates embedded in the skin. Embedded in the skin. Similar armor can also be found on crocodiles, armadillos and some lizards. "
"These osteoderms are arranged according to size, from wide and flat decks to small and round tubercles. The decks are arranged in neat rows on its neck, back and buttocks, while small tubercles protect the gaps between large decks. Smaller decks are on the limbs and tail. For small predators, the armor of the ankylosaur is a defensive weapon."
"Dad, is this ankylosaur afraid of death? Otherwise, why would it let itself grow these bone armors so desperately!" Xiaowu raised his innocent little face and looked at his father.
'Xiaowu, in fact, no matter what kind of creature it is, it is afraid of death. In fact, every life in the world wants to live well! 'Ye Fan said patiently.
"Is that so!" Xiaowu nodded, looking a little confused!
"You are still young, there is still a lot to learn, learn slowly, don't worry!" Ye Fan said.
"I know, I'm not worried with Dad here!" Xiaowu nodded, his eyes sparkling.
"Really Dad's good child!" Ye Fan said.
"Take a good look at this ankylosaur's tail. The famous tail club of the ankylosaur is composed of several plates, combined with the last few vertebrae. It is very heavy and supported by the last 7 vertebrae, which are connected to each other to form a hard club. The thick tendons connecting these vertebrae are also preserved. These tendons are partially bony and not elastic, which can transmit power to the tail. The tail club is an active protective weapon that can deal a heavy blow to the attacker's bones."
"Dad, this ankylosaur's tail is really powerful!" Xiaowu nodded very seriously.
In his mind, he couldn't help but imagine that if he swept his tail at the enemy, he would be thrown several meters away.
It's really scary!
These dinosaurs, one by one, are not easy to mess with.
"Okay, let's not look at them anymore, let's go see other dinosaurs!" Ye Fan took Xiaowu's hand and walked in another direction.
"Dad, where are we going?" Xiaowu asked.
"Let's go find the river, I'll take you to see some other strange dinosaurs!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I like those that look very strange. I can tell my mother about it when I get home. I believe my mother will like it very much!" Xiao Wu said excitedly, jumping up and down as he walked.
"Your mother will definitely like to hear you tell her about our thrilling experience here this time. Tell her about it and let your mother envy us!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will make my mother envy us!" The little guy said excitedly and patted his chest confidently.
