Chapter 30 Protoceratops spawning
The sun rises and sunsets, and the Cretaceous land still repeats the stories day after day.
Every day, new dinosaurs break out of their shells, some are hunted, those who die of illness, those who die of old age, etc. bid farewell to this world for various reasons.
Yang Gan was waiting, hoping to see soon, a new dinosaur broke out of his shell. He was carefully hiding his body behind a bush of plants. Although this was a bit suspicious of stealing the bell, those plants could not cover his huge body at all.
Through the front of the plant, there are a group of procephalas who are busy laying eggs in a small wood. Two of them are particularly tall procephalas, which are the targets of Yang Gan's observation.
He has been following these two protoceratops for several days, and until today, they have arrived at the position of laying eggs, and are doing preparations before laying eggs.
This is at the foot of a small hill. There are not many tall trees on the mountain, but a small river bypasses the mountain, making the plants nearby look particularly lush.
There is no doubt that this is the most suitable place for the proceratops to be born, so that they can find sufficient food after birth.
On the plant in front of the Ganyang Gan, there was a green winged lizard lying on it, which was Xiaoqing.
At this time, the little guy also opened his eyes wide, but his gurgling eyes were nowhere to know what it was looking at.
As for the velociraptor named Queen by Yang Gan, he has never seen it again since that day.
This is the Cretaceous period, an era of giant beasts in the history of the earth. A velociraptor, even if it has been genetically evolved, is just a trivial life.
Maybe it has lie quietly somewhere and become the food of other carnivorous animals; or it is no longer crazy, somewhere in this Cretaceous period, leading a group of velociraptors across the mountains and plains; or maybe it has found another velociraptor with the same evolution of genes, waiting to give birth to its own little life.
This is the Cretaceous period, and the miracles of life are everywhere and everything is possible.
A few days after it left, Yang Gan completed the longest portrayal of his own. When he made the last stroke, he silently told himself this sentence.
Just like the protoceratops in front of you who are only preparing to lay eggs, isn't the eggs they lay soon?
Maybe one day in the future, I will meet the queen again, and it will light a fire and barbecue to eat!
The preparations for the female protoceratops were done for a long time, and Yang Gan had become impatient.
They were really impatient. They were ready for the first day before they officially started laying eggs.
Plant-eating dinosaurs are not like pterosaurs, who can build nests on the top of high cliffs, nor do they like carnivorous dragons, they have powerful force and their own territory. So they can only be as careful as possible and lay many eggs at the same time to deal with the survival crisis from nature.
From this moment on, these eggs began to face various dangers. Egg thieves were everywhere, and countless creatures robbed eggs.
Only those eggs with good luck can get the opportunity to hatch smoothly, and if they hatch, they may not necessarily grow up; if they grow up, they may not necessarily survive the annual migration; if they can migrate smoothly, they may not necessarily avoid the hunting of ubiquitous carnivores; even if they can live forever, they can evolve without a thousand miles; and even if they evolve, they may not be able to find a suitable spouse...
Yang Gan didn't know why he thought of the velociraptor queen again, so he quickly cheered up and carefully observed the female protoceratops who were trying to lay eggs, especially the locations of the two evolved protoceratops laying eggs.
Now he was lying in the woods near the mountain buns, with a few pieces of gravel next to it, as well as a few bushes of plants and small trees as a cover.
Having cover is nothing, but if you dig a big hole on the ground, make some floating soil, and then get in, it will be foolproof. And Yang Gan did this.
Because they have been hidden, they were not discovered by the protoceratops. After cleaning up the egg laying ground, they walked around for a few days and waited for a few days to prevent future dangers. Unfortunately, the demons were one foot taller and one foot taller, but they didn't even notice the huge crocodile hiding nearby. Otherwise, they would definitely change to a new egg laying ground immediately.
Between the sparse forests, they were dug into simple nests, with only some branches and leaves on them. Next, gray dinosaur eggs with spots fell into it.
The protoceratops carefully arranged the eggs instead of being messy. Then they began to cover some dead branches, leaves and floating soil on them, completing the first step of reproduction.
Next, it will be a long wait for nearly two months until the eggs hatch.
This hill is not close to the distant mountains, and there are relatively fewer dangers from the mountain forests, which undoubtedly reduces the work of the protoceratops.
But it is not without danger. The aura emitted by the female protoceratops when laying eggs has attracted some pretenders, but at this time the protoceratops are guarding them, and the egg thieves dare not come.
However, when Yang Gan saw the egg thieves, his eyes turned red.
It’s not that enemies don’t get together!
The first batch of egg thieves who came here were nothing else, but the wounded dragon.
Thinking about the embarrassment of being framed by some of these guys as soon as they stepped into the forest, and then being chased by a group of mothers in the earthquake. Yang Gan felt a little bit gritted his teeth.
But now the egg thieves have no chance yet. The protoceratops always burst out with surprising courage when protecting their offspring. Without enough force, most carnivorous dinosaurs would rather make their minds on the protoceratops that left for food alone than hit those eggs.
In addition to these thieves who specialize in stealing eggs.
As time passed day by day, Yang Gan lay quietly there like a stone. Even if he occasionally turned over and made some noise, it would not attract the attention of the female protoceratops.
Because when they look here alertly, they will always see a small green lizard swaying on the branches above, clinging to the branches and swinging on the swings.
The procephaladder that guards the eggs is not too wary of an empty-tailed lizard. After all, its harmless appearance and slender body do not look like an egg-stealing person.
Troubled dragons are typical speculators. They send sentries to observe the group of protoceratops almost every day. Although they have never succeeded, they have never given up.
