"Dad, where are we going?" Xiaowu asked.
"Let's go to the river and I'll take you to see some other strange dinosaurs!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I just like those that look weird. When I get home, I can tell my mom about them. I believe she will like them very much!" Xiaowu said excitedly, jumping up and down as he walked.
"Your mother will definitely like to hear you tell her about our thrilling experience here when you go back. Tell her about it in detail and let your mother envy us!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will make Mom envy us!" The little guy said excitedly, patting his chest confidently.
"You little rascal, haha!" Ye Fan smiled and stretched out a finger, poking the little guy's forehead, his eyes full of pampering.
This child is truly lovable.
Half an hour later...
The two came to a small hill. When they reached the hill, they looked down and were instantly shocked.
Ye Fan's eyes were filled with surprise.
He saw several kinds of animals looking for food by the lake.
I didn't expect that they could live in such harmony in one place.
It's really shocking.
"Dad, there are so many dinosaurs!" The little guy was also shocked.
These are dinosaurs he has never seen before!
I'm really angry!
This really looks in many different shapes and forms.
From now on, he can show off in front of his sisters.
After all, none of them had ever seen a dinosaur, but in just a few hours, they had already seen many kinds.
And now, what we see before us are several kinds of dinosaurs.
It makes people's blood boil when watching it.
All this is because of my father's existence.
Otherwise, how could he see these creatures that had long been extinct in the world.
If people knew about this, who wouldn’t be shocked?
But no one else can do it, only my father can do it.
It’s really great!
"Son, look at the one on the left. That's Spinosaurus, a famous giant carnivorous theropod dinosaur."
Spinosaurus lived in the northern coastal region of Africa during the mid-Cretaceous period, approximately 113 million to 93 million years ago. By the 21st century, that region had become part of the Sahara Desert. However, at the time, it was still a vast estuarine delta with dense vegetation and abundant food. Sharing the same land with Spinosaurus were carnivorous dinosaurs such as Carcharodontosaurus. However, because Spinosaurus was a semi-aquatic dinosaur, these carcharodontosaurus rarely competed with it for food.
The body structure of Spinosaurus, particularly its skull and teeth, also suggests it was well-adapted for a fishing life. Its upper and lower jaws were long and narrow, allowing them to fit tightly together, effectively securing slippery fish. Spinosaurus primarily ate small and medium-sized fish, as well as carrion.
"Spinosaur teeth were very long, with no serrations on the edges and a conical shape. The exposed length of the teeth was generally between 7 and 8 centimeters, but the largest tooth discovered so far was up to 12.5 centimeters. The teeth were frequently replaced. Look at the dorsal sail on its back. Spinosaurs had a unique sail-like structure. As early as 1915, it was believed that these dorsal structures supported a fat hump."
"Spinosaurs were semi-aquatic, and their sails were thin and narrow, making them likely used for fishing. These sails likely served a combination of functions: regulating body temperature, storing fat energy, attracting mates during mating season, dissipating body heat, catching fish, and acting as a warning when threatened."
"Son, Spinosaurus was best at fishing. Of course, it also occasionally preyed on other dinosaurs and even pterosaurs. It also had a nickname: 'The Cretaceous Grizzly Bear.' This giant was about fourteen meters long and weighed around ten tons. It was a carnivore."
"Look at that one over there, that's a Therizinosaur. Its front claws look like sickles. They're very sharp. This guy is about ten meters long and weighs about six tons. It's a plant-eating dinosaur!" Ye Fan said.
"Dad, this sickle-clawed dragon is really fitting. Oh, and since it eats plants, what are the sickles on its claws used for?" Xiaowu asked, tilting his head and looking at his father.
At first, he thought it was a meat eater.
But my father said that it eats plants, so what’s the use of the sickle? If it eats meat, it can also kill prey.
"That's 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 centimeters long, the longest claws among known animals!" Ye Fan said patiently.
"So that's how it is!" The little guy nodded and listened very carefully.
"Look, the one not far from the Spinosaurus is a Baryonyx. It also hunts fish. Of course, it is basically not very good at preying on dinosaurs. It mainly eats fish and some carrion!" Ye Fan introduced 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 is wearing a tall hat. It's really getting weirder and weirder." Xiao Wu pointed over there and said in surprise.
That’s right!
Just now, we saw a dinosaur with a tumor on its head, called a Pachycephalosaurus. This time, there was also a dinosaur with a body like armor, called an Ankylosaurus.
Great! I saw this dinosaur wearing a hat again. Could it be called a hat dragon?
