Chapter 524: Chapter 247 Dad, Why Are They Chasing Us! [Big Chapter, Over 6000 Words]_3

Thinking about it makes you realize, how wonderful that would be!

It’s a pity, he didn’t study this knowledge in advance.

Now he could only let his father introduce them to him!

“Dad, how are we going to get rid of them? If not, I’ll let the Kylin come out and teach them a lesson!” Xiao Wu said.

“No need, we should try not to harm these dinosaurs. They’re chasing us only to survive,” Ye Fan said.

He didn’t want to harm these animals.

After all, the world no longer has them.

So, by bringing his son here to see them, he was actually disturbing them.

They were just following their own instincts.

Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Fan truly did not want to hurt them.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Dad!” Xiao Wu nodded.

After all, he listened to his dad one hundred percent!

Whatever Dad says goes!

“Dad, look at that one, the one with the long neck in the distance, it doesn’t seem like a Plate Dragon!” Xiao Wu’s eyes lit up as he looked at the creature with a neck taller than a big tree.

“Of course not, there are no Plate Dragons in the Jurassic Period. The Plate Dragons of that time no longer existed; this one is a Cetiosaurus!” Ye Fan glanced and said.

“Look, next to the Cetiosaurus there’s another long-necked one, the one with an even longer and taller neck, that’s the Shunosaurus!” Ye Fan spoke again.

These two long-necked dragons were together!

“Dad, these two dragons look alike, just one has a long neck, the other has an even longer neck!” the little fellow said.

Are they competing to see who has the longer neck?

Looking at them, how entertaining!

“Shunosaurus has a longer body, reaching more than ten meters in length, but the Cetiosaurus is only about six meters long,” Ye Fan explained.

“Dad, I feel like they are competing to see whose neck is longer, and it’s obvious the Cetiosaurus has lost!” the little guy said.

Ye Fan was really beginning to admire his son’s imagination.

Playing a game of neck length?

Impressive!

Truly like father, like son.

This imagination is quite something!

“Cetiosaurus is a genus of primitive sauropods, a medium-sized dinosaur with a body length of about 4 meters and a weight close to 135 kilograms; some studies estimate it can reach a length of about 6 meters. Cetiosaurus has long been considered a quadruped.”

“In other respects, the Cetiosaurus is a typical primitive sauropod. Its body is slender, with a long neck possessing about nine long cervical vertebrae, thirteen dorsal vertebrae, three sacral vertebrae, and at least forty caudal vertebrae. The pubis points forward, as in most theropods. Compared to the synapomorphic Plate Dragon, another primitive sauropod, Cetiosaurus has a lighter body.

A recent discovery shows that Cetiosaurus had well-developed clavicles that connected into a furcula-like structure, indicating that its shoulder blades were immobile and that these clavicles were not functionally lacking like those dinosaurs without a true furcula. This finding also suggests that the bird’s furcula evolved from clavicles.”

Ye Fan held his son while explaining.

Looking calmly at the two dinosaurs pursuing them from behind!

“Shunosaurus is bulky and moves on four limbs, with a large tail club as its primary defensive weapon. It mainly lived near rivers or lakeshores. Due to its spoon-shaped teeth lacking serrated edges, it could only feed on tender, juicy plants or low-lying tree branches and leaves.”

“Shunosaurus was about 10 meters long, the size of an adult female elephant. For a sauropod, it had a rather short neck. Shunosaurus had a short and deep skull with nostrils located low on the snout, and its spatulate teeth were very sturdy. It had 12 cervical vertebrae, 13 dorsal vertebrae, four sacral vertebrae, and 43 caudal vertebrae. Some of the caudal vertebrae were chevron-shaped, similar to the later Liangosaurus.”

“Shunosaurus is a primitive sauropod, not yet fully evolved into massive sizes. The form of Shunosaurus is medium, with a neck even shorter compared to other sauropods. Its spoon-shaped teeth were advantageous for biting off and chewing plants.”

Ye Fan spoke, and the little fellow in his arms listened attentively.

There was no better introduction than this, after all, the real thing was right there. Ye Fan kept explaining while the little guy observed seriously, slowly remembering a lot.

Soon, they reached an area full of dunes with shorter vegetation, and not far off, they saw rows of creatures with something on their backs, triangles, hundreds of them and two or three hundred meters away.

Ye Fan squinted his eyes at the distant creatures, his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

“Dad, what animal is that? Why does its back have all those triangles? They look like a triangular ruler. What is that?” the little guy also saw and promptly asked.

This animal really looked strange!

Not recognizable at all.

Wondering, what exactly are those things on its back.

The little guy’s eyes were full of curiosity.

“That’s a Kentrosaurus!” Ye Fan said.

He didn’t expect that their luck would be so good!

One dinosaur after another was being seen.

“Kentrosaurus, I don’t know it. Honestly, except for the Tyrannosaurus rex, I really don’t know the others. But it looks like something I’ve seen on TV!” Xiao Wu said.

“Kentrosaurus was a large herbivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Jurassic Period. It had a row of massive bone plates on its back and a dangerous tail with four spikes to defend against predators. It was about 7 to 9 meters long, 2.35 to 3.5 meters tall, and weighed between 2 and 4 tons.”
