Chapter 250 Special Reward, Mount the Ancient Vicious Beast Taotie!
"Dad, that guy is really big. Although it's not as big as the Argentinosaurus, 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 give that piece of meat to the Mosasaur?" Xiao Wu said, looking at his father Ye Fan with expectation.
"Sure!" Ye Fan nodded and smiled at his son.
Anyway, he was by Xiao Wu's side, so there was no problem.
Besides, as long as he stood farther away from this side, it would be fine.
"Really, it's great!" Xiao Wu cheered!
"Here, throw it down, don't stand too far outside!" Ye Fan said, and picked up a piece of meat weighing one pound for his son.
Xiao Wu took it in his hand, his eyes full of excitement.
Then, the next second, he threw the piece of dried meat in his hand directly.
The huge Mosasaur rushed out of the sea again and swallowed it with its big mouth with fangs.
"Dad, I succeeded, I succeeded!" The little guy was very happy.
"Yes, you succeeded, my son is awesome!" Ye Fan did not hesitate to praise him.
"Because Dad is awesome, I can succeed! x-on:" The little guy said excitedly.
"You kid, you will know how to be humble then!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Dad, tell me about this Mosasaur, I will come later, no hurry!" Xiao Wu said.
He really wanted to know about the Mosasaur now.
"Okay, then Dad will tell you!" Ye Fan said, pulling Xiao Wu to sit on the stone together.
Xiao Wu sat obediently, looking at his father Ye Fan seriously, waiting for him to speak.
Ye Fan looked at the little guy's extremely cute appearance and laughed.
"Mosaurs are the largest top predators in the Mesozoic ocean. The adult body length of Hoffmann's Mosasaur can reach 15 meters, and the recognized largest individual can reach 17 meters in length, with a lower jaw length of 1.71m). The weight varies greatly according to different reconstructions. The two more mainstream versions are: "Lizard-type" is about 13-16 tons, and the robustness is similar to that of the Komodo dragon, which is also the data generally used in China. The robust version is about 17-24 tons, which is the weight calculated according to the more recent restoration.
Although the history of Mosasaurs is very short (evolved from cliff lizards on land, it only appeared and multiplied rapidly in the middle and late Cretaceous period, and then became extinct with dinosaurs), it has been riding the wind and waves all the way, which is largely due to the ecological niche vacancy caused by the extinction of Pliosaurs and Ichthyosaurs."
"Mosaurs refer to a genus of Mosasauridae. They are a group of carnivorous marine reptiles with huge heads, strong jaws and sharp teeth, and their appearance is similar to crocodiles with flippers."
"Mosaurs live in shallow seas and near the coast. They belong to the Squamata, the Varanoidea, and the Mosasauridae. The family includes nearly 20 known genera, the largest of which is over 10 meters long. They have slender bodies, medium-sized heads, short and thick necks, and tails as long as the body. When moving, their bodies twist like snakes. Their limbs are fin-shaped, acting as rudders. Both the front and rear feet are multi-jointed structures. Those with more digits can have up to 10. Their teeth are conical, large and sharp. They were large and ferocious attacking animals in the water at that time."
"In the development of Mosasaurus, the warm sea water played a big role. The rich food sources in the sea water provided Mosasaurus with an excellent living environment, which then led to the road to becoming the overlord of the ocean. Mosasaurus wiped out all its competitors in the ocean for 5 million years. It can be said that they were the most successful predators among marine life and the overlords of the ocean in ancient times."
"Dad, and Mosasaurus are so powerful!" Xiaowu said excitedly.
"Of course, how can you become the overlord of the ocean if you are not powerful!" Ye Fan touched the little guy's head, his eyes full of doting.
"The smallest known mosasaur was 3 to 3.5 meters long and probably lived in shallow waters near the shore, using its bulbous teeth to catch mollusks and sea urchins. The largest mosasaur was Hoffmann's Mosasaur, with a maximum length of 17.3 meters and a maximum weight of 16 tons."
"Compared to other mosasaurs, the head of the mosasaur was stronger. Due to the tight joints between the jaw bones, the mosasaur could not swallow its prey whole like the early mosasaurs (such as Mosasaurus). The teeth of the mosasaur were sharp and conical, curved like a barb, and the two jaws generated huge torque when biting, which could bite the prey in half.
In addition, there is a circle of inner teeth inside its upper jaw for dragging food. Science Experts speculate that Mosasaurs should bite or tear their prey into appropriate sizes before swallowing them. Their eating method is similar to that of Komodo dragons, but much more bloody. "
"Mosasaurs have weak vision, but their sense of smell and hearing are very developed. The tongue they inherited from their ancestors is still the main olfactory organ; their ears are specially constructed and can amplify sound 38 times.
Some people believe that based on its head fossils, Mosasaurs used a group of nerves on the side of the upper jaw and the snout to detect the pressure waves emitted by prey to determine the exact location of the target, just like killer whales use sound positioning. "
"Mosasaurs breathe with lungs and can stay in the water for a long time with one breath." Ye Fan said.
"That's not the same as us humans!" The little guy tilted his head and whispered.
"Mosasaurs have a long barrel-shaped body, a strong tail, and high fluid dynamics. It has five toes on its forelimbs and four toes on its hind limbs. Its limbs have evolved into flippers. The forelimbs are larger than the hind limbs. The short, thick and powerful flippers allow it to change direction quickly in the water, greatly increasing its agility.
Its tail reaches half of its body length and is broad and flat in the shape of a vertical paddle. There are expanded bony vertebrae above and below the tailbone, forming a powerful swimming tool. "
"The way it traveled was similar to the way modern crocodiles swim in the water, with its tail wagging from side to side like a whip, and it could reach a top speed of 30 miles per hour (about 48.3 kilometers per hour). This swimming method can achieve extremely fast speeds in a short period of time. Speed, but it is not conducive to long-term high-speed chases. Therefore, mosasaurs are good at using stealth and explosive power to hunt.”
"There is plenty of food in the ocean, but competition is fierce. The main foods of mosasaurs include serpentine dragons, golden kitchen sharks, sea turtles, lamellar dragons, etc. Golden kitchen sharks are a type of ancient shark with a body length of up to 8 meters. They are both A medium-sized predator with speed and endurance.
Mosasaurus gradually became larger and more ferocious during evolution. Scientists speculate that an adult mosasaur could fight against several golden chef sharks. The golden chef shark became extinct 82 million years ago. "
"The largest mosasaur: Mosasaurus is a prehistoric aquatic lizard. At the end of the Cretaceous period (94 million-66 million years ago), they were at the top of the marine food chain. It is estimated that the largest species should be Bernardi Hainosaurus and Hoffmann Mosasaurus, their body length is 15~18 meters.
Like modern sea snakes, all mosasaurs are thought to have had skin covered in scales, which may have reduced resistance when swimming and also reduced sheen, aiding in camouflage when hunting. "
"How scary!" Xiao Wu nodded, his eyes full of shock.
Unexpectedly, each of these dinosaurs is more ferocious than the last!
If this were the world today, this would have been the world of dinosaurs.
Fortunately, this dinosaur is extinct.
Otherwise, it won't be anyone else's turn!
"Okay, go feed it. After feeding, let's go home!" Ye Fan said.
"Yeah." Xiao Wu nodded, his eyes full of excitement.
"Your mother, you don't know what you are doing at this time?" Ye Fan said, looking at the setting sun in the distance.
'Dad, do you miss your mother? 'Xiao Wu said with a smile.
Seeing his father like this made him want to laugh.
It must be.
Dad misses mom!
However, this time we were separated for a few hours. How could we miss each other like this in the future?
I really don’t understand what adults are thinking!
"Of course I do. Your mother is always worried about our safety. If we go back early, she will be relieved!" Ye Fan said.
This girl, I don’t know how worried she is.
However, they are going back now.
"That's right, we can't let mothers worry." Xiao Wu nodded, thinking about his mother's worried look when the two of them left, and he felt a little distressed.
I guess dad was right, moms were worried. ,
"Look, the sun is about to set. The night here is definitely not safe." Ye Fan said. ,
‘Dad, I agree. It’s dangerous enough during the day, but it will definitely be even more dangerous at night! ’ Xiao Wu said and threw down a piece of dried meat in his hand.
"Yes!" Ye nodded.
Then, Xiaowu played with the dried meat and turned around.
He acted like an adult, and smiled and clapped his little hands.
"Dad, I've done it, let's go home!" Xiao Wu said, and came to Ye Fan happily.
"Okay, let's go home!" Ye Fan hugged Xiao Wu and disappeared directly!
As soon as the two returned home and opened their eyes, they saw Bai Susu's worried face.
"You are finally back, I'm really worried to death!" Bai Susu rushed over directly and saved Mark.
She was really worried to death!
Although, it took half a day first, which was more than five hours.
On time, Bai Susu had never felt that time was so difficult to pass.
This is the first time!
Ever since the moment her husband Ye Fan and child Xiao Wu left, her heart has been thinking about this, and her heart felt like it was being pressed by a large stone and it was difficult to breathe.
He is too worried!
But what's more, they all came back safely.
It was okay, she finally felt relieved.
Just be fine!
"Su Su, we're fine, don't worry, my son and I are back!" Ye Fan held Xiao Wu in his arms, and then freed up one hand to hold Bai Susu in his arms.
Seeing his daughter-in-law so worried, Ye Fan felt very uncomfortable and distressed!
From now on, he will try not to take his children to places like that.
