Chapter 249 Dad, Can I Feed the Ocean Overlord ~ Mosasaur? [More than 6,000 Words, a Big Chapter! ]
"Dad, where are we going?" Xiao Wu 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. When I get home, I can tell my mother about it. I believe that 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 go back and tell her about our thrilling experience here this time. Tell her about it and make your mother envy us!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely make my mother envy us!" The little guy said excitedly, and patted his chest confidently.
"You little naughty, haha!" Ye Fan smiled and stretched out a finger, poking the little guy's forehead, his eyes full of pampering.
This child is really lovable.
Half an hour later...
The two came to a small hill. When they walked to the hill, they looked down and were shocked instantly.
Ye Fan's eyes were filled with surprise.
He saw several kinds of animals looking for food by the lake.
Unexpectedly, they could live in such a harmonious place.
It was really shocking.
"Dad, there are so many dinosaurs!" The little guy was also shocked.
These are all dinosaurs he has never seen!
He was really angry!
They really look in all kinds of shapes.
In the future, can he show off in front of his sisters?
After all, they have never seen dinosaurs, and he has seen many kinds in just a few hours.
And now, there are even more kinds of dinosaurs in front of him.
It makes people excited.
All this is because of the existence of his father.
Otherwise, how could he see these creatures that have long been extinct in the world.
If this were known to others, who would not be shocked!
However, no one else can do it, as long as his father can do it.
It's really great!
"Child, look at the one on the left, that's Spinosaurus, a famous giant carnivorous theropod dinosaur."
"Spinosaurus lived in the coastal area of northern Africa in the middle of the Cretaceous period, about 113 million to 93 million years ago. By the 21st century, it had become part of the Sahara Desert. But at that time, it was still a large estuary delta with dense vegetation and sufficient food. Sharing the same land with Spinosaurus were carnivorous dinosaurs such as Carcharodontosaurus. However, because Spinosaurus was a semi-aquatic dinosaur, they rarely competed with Spinosaurus for food.
The body structure of Spinosaurus, especially the skull and teeth, also shows that they are very adapted to fishing. Their upper and lower jaws are long and narrow, which can be tightly fitted to firmly fix slippery fish. Spinosaurus feeds on small and medium-sized fish and also eats carrion."
"Spinosaurus' teeth are very long, without serrations on the edges, and are conical. The exposed length of the teeth is generally between 7 and 8 cm. The largest teeth found so far can reach 12.5 cm. And the teeth are often replaced. Look at it. On their backs, there is a sail called a dorsal sail. Spinosaurus has a unique sail. As early as 1915, it was believed that these dorsal structures supported fat ridges. "
"Spinosaurus is a semi-aquatic animal, and the sails of Spinosaurus are thin and narrow, so it is very likely used for fishing. These sails probably have a combination of the above functions, usually acting as a thermoregulator, storing fat energy, attracting the opposite sex during the mating season, dissipating body heat, fishing, and acting as a warning when threatened. "
"Son, Spinosaurus is best at fishing. Of course, it occasionally preys on other dinosaurs and even pterosaurs. It also has a nickname, which is the 'Grizzly Bear of the Cretaceous. This big guy is about 14 meters long and weighs about 10 tons. It is a carnivorous animal. '"
"You are looking at that one over there. That is a sickle dragon. Its front claws look like sickles. Very sharp. This guy is about ten meters long and weighs about six tons. It is a plant-eating dinosaur! . "Ye Fan said.
'Dad, this sickle dragon is really appropriate. By the way, it eats plants, so what is its claw sickle used for! 'Xiaowu tilted his head and looked at his father and asked.
At first, he thought it was a meat eater.
But, Dad said it was a plant eater, so what is the use of the sickle? If it eats meat, it can also kill prey.
"This is a good question. Its sickle is used to hook food, and it may also be used for self-defense, competing for mates and intimidating enemies. Its forelimb claws are 75 cm long, which is the longest claw among known animals!" Ye Fan said patiently.
"So, that's it!" The little guy nodded and listened very seriously.
"Look, the one not far from the Spinosaurus is a Baryonyx. It also hunts fish. Of course, if it preys on dinosaurs, it is basically not very good. It mainly eats fish and some carrion!" Ye Fan introduced it to his brother again.
"Dad, look over there, what is that dinosaur with a hat on its head? Why does it look so strange? The previous one had a tumor, and this one has a tall hat. It's getting weirder and weirder." Xiao Wu pointed over there and said in surprise.
That's right!
Just now, I saw a dinosaur with a tumor on its head, called Pachycephalosaurus, and this time, there is also a dinosaur with a body like armor, called Ankylosaurus.
That's good, I saw this dinosaur wearing a hat again. Could it be called a hat dragon?
Each one of these looks really amazing!
Xiao Wuye Bai Shen felt that, this time, it was really not in vain.
Really, I gained a lot of knowledge!
At that time, after returning home, you can brag about it with your family members and tell them about it.
Just thinking about it makes me very excited.
"The one you're talking about looks like a dinosaur with a hat, that one is called Parasaurolophus!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
This kid is so cute!
"Parasaurolophus?" The little guy's eyes were full of doubts.
Why does this name seem so inconsistent with the image?
Xiaowu thought it would be better to call it a high-hat dinosaur.
"Dad, I think it's more appropriate for him to call it the High Hat Dinosaur. This Ctenosaurus doesn't meet his own conditions and appearance at all!" Xiao Wu said.
"You boy, Parasaurolophus, also known as Parasaurolophus, Ctenoides, Pseudomonasaurus, Spinosaurus, Pseudospinosaurus, meaning "almost crested lizard", is a member of the family Hadrosauridae. Parasaurolophus is a herbivorous dinosaur that can walk on two or four legs."
"The most striking feature of Parasaurolophus is the crest extending from its head. This crest is rod-shaped and longer than other dinosaurs with crests. There is still no unified understanding of the function of Parasaurolophus' crest, but Most people think that the crown should be its sounder, which can be used to call the police or call for help, but this sounder will differ depending on age and gender.”
"The forelimbs of Parasaurolophus are very strong and can be used to support the body when walking, swimming and wading.
They feed on plants. In the process of eating, Parasaurolophus will use their very keen senses to maintain vigilance. Once they find an enemy approaching, they will quickly escape. The gray skin of Parasaurolophus was also an effective tool to avoid attacks from carnivorous dinosaurs.
When they are in the dark night or in the jungle, like a chameleon, their body color blends into the surrounding environment, making it difficult for predators to detect Parasaurolophus. According to paleontologists, Parasaurolophus is also a social animal. Opinions on the crest's primary functions include identifying gender and species, being a resonator, and regulating body temperature. "
"The body itself is 9.5 meters long, and the skull and crest are 1.6 meters long. The skull and crest of the type specimen of Parasaurolophus trumpeter are over 2 meters, indicating that they were larger than Parasaurolophus walkerii. Parasaurolophus was heavier. Up to 2.5 tons. The only discovered forelimbs show that their forelimbs are shorter than those of other hadrosaurid dinosaurs, and they have short and broad shoulder blades, and the femur of the type specimen of Parasaurolophus walker is 103 cm long. "The upper arms and pelvis of Parasaurolophus are very strong," Ye Fan said.
"Dad, when you hear what the sound is, and why is the ground under your feet shaking? Is something coming?" The little guy pulled a corner of his father's hand and said nervously.
Having experienced so many things, he is extremely cautious in everything he does now.
Anyway, he didn't want to chase those dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex on his back anymore.
So scary!
However, Xiao Wu always felt that his father seemed to like being chased by these dinosaurs, and his father also seemed to run faster and faster.
He was wondering if his father didn't use all his running strength at the beginning and just played with the dinosaurs like this.
Does my father like that kind of exciting games?
No matter, there are so many.
Anyway, he felt something was wrong.
All the birds over there have flown away.
Moreover, several dinosaurs on the edge of the lake seemed to feel something, and they all wanted to look to the right.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but look to the right.
Of course, Mark also became serious.
He felt it too.
‘Child, don’t worry. You see, although the birds have flown away, these large dinosaurs have not run away. If they all run away, this is the danger. They didn't run away, which meant that the thing that came was probably not extremely dangerous to them! ’ Ye Fan analyzed it.
"Ho~~"
A roar came out.
Ye Fan also looked over there nervously.
Soon, I saw something huge approaching. ,
Good guy!
Ye Fan was shocked!
This guy is really too big!
These dinosaurs are like children in front of it!
this……
Ye Fan took a few more glances and finally recognized what kind of dinosaur it was!
"Dad, what is that? Why is it so big? Compared with it, we are really just ants in his eyes!" Xiao Wu said with a little fear, his voice trembling slightly.
It’s really shocking!
This is the largest dinosaur limb he has ever seen!
How could this happen?
The dinosaurs I saw before were really not enough to compare with this one.
It's really amazing.
How did Mother Nature create such a creature?
this……
"Did you see that, that's Argentinosaurus!" Ye Fan stared at the huge dinosaur with his eyes tightly, and saw it walking slowly.
"Dad, isn't this Argentinosaurus scary?" Xiao Wu asked nervously.
Why is Dad staring at that dinosaur like this?
Is it dangerous?
very scary?
Otherwise, is there any other reason?
"It's OK, this big guy is a herbivorous dinosaur, it doesn't eat meat, don't worry!" Ye Fan said.
"That's good, that's good, it can grow so big by eating plants, it's dozens of stories high!" Xiao Wu said, frowning deeply.
How did this guy grow so big?
He didn't believe it!
How can it grow so big by eating plants?
It's really incredible!
"Argentinosaurus belongs to the Titanosaurs of the sauropod dinosaurs. The name is very simple, meaning the dinosaurs found in Argentina. Living period: 100 million years ago, the Albian stage of the middle Cretaceous period - 93 million years ago, the Cenomanian stage of the late Cretaceous period. It is one of the largest land dinosaurs discovered."
"Argentinosaurus is one of the largest animals that have ever walked on the earth, 12 meters tall and 42 meters long. Among all modern creatures, only Diplodocus is longer than it. Some other dinosaurs are as long as Argentinosaurus, and some are taller than it. Despite this, Argentinosaurus is still much heavier than other dinosaurs. It may weigh up to 94 tons, which is equivalent to the total weight of 20 elephants. However, even an animal as huge as Argentinosaurus may not be able to escape the attack of predators. For example, the largest carnivorous dinosaur Mapusaurus is the overlord of the Argentinosaurus world."
"Dad, this guy is really terrifying. This is simply a giant. This is more than 40 meters long, and the weight is more than 90 tons, which is equivalent to the total weight of 20 elephants. It's terrible!" Xiaowu shook his head in disbelief.
It's really terrible!
"Dad, this guy can grow so big by eating plants. What kind of plants does it eat?" Xiao Wu said in shock.
Wow!
What kind of plants does it eat?
This plant must have growth skills!
Otherwise, how can it be so big!
"Of course it is plants. As for what kind of plants can grow so big, I don't know. The fossil bones of Argentinosaurus have been excavated, including a 1.6-meter-high spine, pelvis and hind limb bones. From its skeletal structure, it can be inferred that it has a fat body. Although Argentinosaurus is similar to Brachiosaurus, experts believe that it is still a Titanosaur. Their living place is the lakeside surrounded by forests. This lake and stream area with abundant water and food is the environment for many large sauropods to survive."
"Giant herbivorous dinosaurs like Argentinosaurus have no natural enemies. With its huge size, it can completely scare away those predators."
"It's really powerful!" Xiao Wu's eyes were full of stars.
"Of course." Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Dad, where's the mobile phone? I want to take a few photos of that guy!" Xiao Wu said.
Such a big Argentinosaurus cannot be missed, you must take a photo and keep it.
You can still take it as a souvenir in the future.
"Okay, here you go!" Ye Fan took out the mobile phone from his pocket and gave it to his son.
Xiao Wu took the mobile phone, found a good angle, and started taking many photos.
Soon, after taking the photos, the mobile phone returned to Ye Fan's hand.
This mobile phone is just a decoration here, and there is no signal at all.
So, don't worry about the sound of the mobile phone attracting these big guys.
"Dad, where are we going next?" Xiao Wu looked at his father and asked.
It seems that we have seen almost all of these dinosaurs.
If we go back, I'm still a little reluctant!
He still wants to see other dinosaurs! .
"Do you want to see more?" Ye Fan asked.
"Yes!" Xiao Wu answered very straightforwardly.
"Okay, we have seen the large dinosaur overlords on land, and Dad will take you to see the overlord dinosaurs in the ocean. However, after seeing the next one, we should go home!" Ye Fan said.
It's getting late.
It's too late here, and it's more dangerous to wait until dark.
He was determined not to wait here with his children until dark.
It was okay during the day, but it was impossible at night.
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad!" Xiao Wu said happily.
I didn't expect that I could see the dinosaur overlord in the ocean. I really don't know what the dinosaur would look like.
He was really curious in his heart!
If he had read more books about dinosaurs, maybe he could have guessed it.
However, he couldn't guess it, and he also had a strong sense of curiosity.
Xiao Xiao Wu tried hard to suppress his excitement.
"Come, hold Dad tight!" Ye Fan said.
Xiao Wu just saved his father, and the next second, the two disappeared directly on the spot!
When they appeared again, they were on an island in the ocean, and on the top rock of the island.
The endless sea, the blue sea and the sky were all blue, which was really shocking to watch!
"Dad, are we standing on such a high rock to see the Mosasaur?" Xiao Wu turned his head and looked at his father and asked.
Looking around, it was really high!
Looking down, it's all sea water!
If I fall down, I'm really finished.
Looking at the height, it's at least equivalent to a 20-story building!
Too scary!
"Of course, don't worry, Dad is here, it's okay!" Ye Fan said.
It's really high here, but this is the only way to see the Mosasaur clearly!
And this is also very safe!
"Dad, how can this Mosasaur come out of the sea?" Xiao Wu hid behind a big rock, holding his head with both hands, and asked.
"Well, just wait. It will come out when it eats. However, it also eats marine creatures. Let's see how lucky we are!" Ye Fan said.
It's really hard to say.
"Okay!" Xiao Wu nodded and waited very obediently.
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, I believe we have good luck!" Ye Fan touched his son's head.
"Yeah!" Xiao Wu turned his head and laughed when he saw Ye Fan.
The two sat on the stone, looking at the sea in front of them, waiting for the so-called Mosasaur to appear.
This wait lasted for about half an hour.
Xiao Wu was a little sleepy waiting.
In the past few hours, he was in a highly nervous mental state. Now he relaxed and felt a little sleepy.
When Ye Fan saw this scene, he was also a little worried.
How long will it take to wait?
Ye Fan immediately asked the system, and finally spent 100 points in the system to exchange for an unknown dried meat, which only weighed five kilograms.
However, it is said that this is the meat of a demon beast with magic energy, and the Mosasaur can definitely be lured out.
Ye Fan found a knife and cut the meat into five portions. However, he smelled a strange fragrance of this meat, but did the Mosasaur really like this demon meat?
Ye Fan leaned a little to the side, and when he looked down, he saw that it was really high.
He tried to look at the sea surface, and there was nothing except the waves.
"Dad, what are you doing?" At this time, Xiaowu also woke up.
He looked at his father standing by the side and was startled.
His father, he was not going to jump down.
"It's okay, Dad thought there was some dried meat here, let's see if we can lure this Mosasaur out!" Ye Fan looked back at his son and said.
Hearing this, Xiaowu looked at the dried meat in his father's hand again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
So that's how it is!
It really scared him.
"You little brat, you don't think I'm going to jump into the sea, how is that possible!" Ye Fan said speechlessly.
This kid, what kind of imagination is that1
It's amazing!
"Hey, Dad, let me come over and try it too!" Xiao Wu walked over slowly with some embarrassment.
"Okay, stay away, it's still too dangerous here. You stand there and don't move, I'll stand here to lead it out, and I'll give you the phone!" Ye Fan said, and took out the phone and gave it to his son.
This side is too dangerous. Too high!
He was worried that he would scare his child.
He, an adult, felt a little uncomfortable looking at it.
Don't say, a one-year-old child.
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad!" Xiao Wu stood in his original position very obediently, but his little face was a little worried about his dad! 、
"Dad, be careful!" Xiao Wu said.
"Don't worry!" Ye Fan said.
At this time, Ye Fan looked down and was stunned for a moment!
What a big shadow!
However, this is still in the sea water, and only a huge monster can be vaguely seen. I really don’t know if it is a mosasaur.
We must let the other party jump out of the sea to know.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan looked at the meat in his hand and threw a piece directly down.
And just when the meat fell, the huge monster in the sea rushed out of the sea, jumped out, and caught the piece of meat with a new basin-sized mouth.
The water splashed several meters high.
This scene was seen by Ye Fan and Xiao Wu, and their eyes were full of shock!
This...
This is the mosasaur!
Ye Fan looked at this, and it was not much different from the picture in the book.
This meat is really amazing!
"Dad, was that a mosasaur just now?" Xiao Wu said with some trembling.
That big mouth is really terrifying!
"Yes, that's right, it's a mosasaur!" Ye Fan nodded and said.
He took another look at the remaining four pieces of meat on the ground.
You know, this meat is so useful, it has been exchanged and used a long time ago.
This is a waste of more than half an hour of waiting.
Of course, he didn't care about the time.
What he cared about was that he wanted his son to see the Mosasaur earlier, isn't that great?
And, Xiao Wu was so bored that he almost fell asleep.
Besides, wouldn't it be good to finish watching it earlier and go home to accompany his wife?
He missed his wife.
"Dad, that guy is really big, although not as big as the Argentinosaurus, but it's not small!" Xiao Wu said excitedly.
"Indeed, otherwise how could it be the overlord of the ocean!" Ye Fan said.
"Dad, can I get a piece of meat to feed the Mosasaur?" Xiao Wu said, looking at his father Ye Fan with expectation.
