Chapter 529: Chapter 248: Daddy, why does this dinosaur look so ugly! [Over 7,000 words, large chapter! ]_4

He was worried that by saying this, his dad would feel unhappy inside.

Since Dad didn’t want him to dislike them, then he wouldn’t dislike them!

“Pachycephalosaurs might have liked living in groups. Adult males determined the group’s leader by butting heads. During the breeding season, they might also decide the winner in this way, and the winner would mate with the female individuals. However, the thick skull of the pachycephalosaur couldn’t help it resist predators’ attacks; it had keen sense of smell and sight, and would quickly flee when it spotted enemies.”

“Dad, look over there, that one looks like a rhino!” Xiao Wu immediately pointed and said.

Only then did Ye Fan turn his head to look and saw several Triceratops on the other side.

“What rhino, that’s a Triceratops!” Ye Fan exclaimed.

“That one really looks powerful, those two sharp big horns, I feel they could stab a prey to death in one go. Dad, let’s stay away quickly, a single poke from it would be dreadful!” Xiao Wu said, pulling his dad away.

Those two big sharp horns looked terrifying!

“You kid, knowing fear now, haha, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s a herbivorous dinosaur, and its temperament is quite gentle. There won’t be any problems as long as we don’t provoke it on purpose!” Ye Fan said, laughing.

“Really? To look like this and still eat grass, that’s a bit absurd!” Xiao Wu muttered to himself.

He had thought it was a carnivore.

“The Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous dinosaurs of the Ceratopsidae family, under the subfamily Ceratopsinae, within the order Ornithischia. Triceratops were medium-sized, four-legged dinosaurs, about 7—9 meters long, 2.4-2.8 meters tall, and weighed between 5.5—10 tons. They had a very large head shield and three horn-like features, reminiscent of modern rhinos.”

“The most notable features of the Triceratops were their horns and neck frill. Their head shield could grow to over 1.5 meters. Above the nostrils at the snout of the Triceratops was a horn-like object, and above the eyes, a pair of horn-like objects over 80 centimeters long. Behind the head was a relatively short bony head shield.”

“According to the books, the horns and neck frill of the Triceratops might not have been for defense against predators but were more likely showy features to attract mates.”

“Of course, the Triceratops was one of the strongest herbivorous dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period. Even your favorite Tyrannosaurus rex wouldn’t dare to prey on them easily.” Ye Fan explained.

“I never thought this modern rhino could be so formidable!” Xiao Wu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

To think even the Tyrannosaurus rex wouldn’t dare to mess with the Triceratops, that’s impressive!

Appearances really can be deceiving.

But still, if you got hit by that large head, it would be deadly or crippling for sure!

“Dad, what kind of dinosaurs are those over there, and why are they all together?” Xiao Wu asked.

“The ones you’re talking about, those are Ankylosaurs, they kind of look like tanks, also called Tank Dinosaurs!” Ye Fan replied, laughing.

Seeing his child so curious about these dinosaurs made Ye Fan very happy indeed.

This was also a learning experience.

These are creatures from prehistoric times, it’s good to learn more and become familiar with them.

Unexpectedly, his child was so eager to learn, of course, when it came to these dinosaurs.

“This one, also looks a bit ugly!” Xiao Wu commented.

Anyway, he isn’t fond of such appearance!

So strange and peculiar!

“The Ankylosaurus’s head is broad and flat, and the thick armor plates covering its face, along with the triangular spikes on the sides of its head, make it look like it’s wearing a helmet made of steel.”

“The bone-covered face of Ankylosaurus could help it avoid predators, but wearing this armor, especially the ‘helmet,’ must have been very hot. To stay cool, Ankylosaurus evolved complex and tortuous nasal passages filled with blood vessels, which helped control temperature changes.”

“The upper body of the Ankylosaurus is covered with thick scales, with two rows of spines on its back and a pair of horns on its head. Ankylosaurus had a tail like a golf club. Its four legs were short, its neck was also short, and its head was broad.”

Ankylosaurus lived during the late Cretaceous period, at the same time as many carnivorous dinosaurs. Its bony, spike-like plates and club-shaped tail (known as a tail club) provided excellent protection. Its skeleton was discovered in Montana and belonged to one of the last dinosaur groups to go extinct.”

“Fully grown Ankylosaurus, compared to most modern land animals, was very large. About 6.25 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 1.7 meters high, it had a flat and wide body shape. Ankylosaurus walked on all fours, with the hind limbs longer than the front limbs.”

“The most noticeable feature of Ankylosaurus is its armor, which included solid nodules and plates embedded in the skin. Embbed in the skin. Similar armor can be found in crocodiles, armadillos, and some lizards.”

“These osteoderms are arranged in order of size, from broad and flat plates to small and round nodules. The plates are arranged neatly in rows across its neck, back, and hips, while the smaller nodules protect the spaces between the larger plates. Smaller plates are found on the limbs and tail. For small predators, Ankylosaurus’s armor was a formidable defense.”

“Dad, is this Ankylosaurus really afraid of dying? Otherwise, why would it grow such bone armor so desperately?” Xiao Wu looked up with his innocent little face at his dad.

‘Xiao Wu, actually, every living being is afraid of death. In fact, every life in this world wants to live well!’ Ye Fan explained patiently.

“Is that so!” Xiao Wu nodded with a somewhat blank look.

“You’re still young; there’s so much more you need to learn. Learn slowly, no need to worry!” Ye Fan said.

“I know, I’m not worried with you here, Dad!” Xiao Wu nodded, his eyes sparkling.

“You are such a good boy for Dad!” Ye Fan said.

“You take a good look at this Ankylosaurus’s tail. The famous tail club of the Ankylosaurus is made up of several plates fused with the last few vertebrae. It’s very heavy and supported by the last seven vertebrae, joined together to form a sturdy club. The thick tendons connecting these vertebrae have also been preserved. These tendons are partially ossified and not flexible, enabling the transfer of force to the tail. The tail club is an active defense weapon capable of delivering a heavy blow to an attacker’s bones.”

“Dad, this Ankylosaurus’s tail is really amazing!” Xiao Wu nodded seriously.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but imagine how if it swept its enemies with its tail, they would be flung several meters away instantly.

So terrifying!

These dinosaurs are not to be trifled with.

“Alright, let’s not look at them anymore; let’s go see some other dinosaurs!” Ye Fan took Xiao Wu’s hand and walked in another direction.

“Dad, where are we going now?” Xiao Wu asked.

“We’re going to find a river; I’ll show you some other strange dinosaurs!” Ye Fan said with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah, I love the ones that look really weird. Later, I can tell Mom about them when I get home, and I believe she’ll love to hear about it!” Xiao Wu said excitedly, hopping along as he walked.

“Your mom will surely enjoy listening to you talk about our adventurous experience here when you get back. Make sure to tell her all about it; let your mom be envious of us!” Ye Fan said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll make sure Mom is really envious of us!” The little guy said spiritedly, confidently patting his chest.
