Chapter 528: Chapter 248: Daddy, why does this dinosaur look so ugly! [Over 7,000 words, large chapter! ]_3

“Dinosaurs had a slow growth rate throughout their lives, just like other reptiles,” he continued, “but the largest and oldest Tyrannosaurus rex known to date, ‘Sue,’ only lived to be 28 years old. Tyrannosaurus rexes had a rapid growth phase during their development, during which their growth rate was quite high, almost gaining four jin of flesh every day. This explosive growth allowed the Tyrannosaurus rex to develop a massive body in a short period of time.”

Ye Fan kept on, aiming to further enrich his son’s understanding of the Tyrannosaurus rex.

“Dad, that Tyrannosaurus rex is really amazing, it could gain four jin of meat a day! But its lifespan seems rather short, just 28 years,” Xiao Wu lamented slightly.

He thought that humans could live at least sixty to seventy years, with some reaching over a hundred years.

Who would have thought that a Tyrannosaurus rex could only live for 28 years!

It seemed quite short-lived!

“That’s not short at all. Look, our cats and dogs and the like, they mostly live around fifteen years. This dinosaur could live over twenty years, which is quite remarkable. Of course, you can’t compare it to humans!” Ye Fan explained.

This child…

“That makes sense!” Xiao Wu nodded, seeming to agree with his father’s words.

28 years, that’s not short anymore.

“Unlike other carnivorous dinosaurs, when a Tyrannosaurus rex reached adulthood, its size wouldn’t increase anymore. However, its bones would become thicker and more solid as it aged. Its bones had the highest density among all carnivorous dinosaurs. Compared to other carnivores of similar size, Tyrannosaurus rex was much heavier. After all, it was the most robust among them. Despite the impact on speed, its terrifying body ramming force was even more dreadful. And at the end of the Cretaceous, it existed to reign over the entire land,” Ye Fan spoke again.

“Really, it’s no wonder it’s my favorite dinosaur!” Xiao Wu said proudly.

Ye Fan watched his son with eyes full of doting.

“Roar~~” Over there, two Tyrannosaurus rexes were still fighting.

The slightly larger Tyrannosaurus rex swung its huge tail and knocked the smaller one to the ground.

The smaller Tyrannosaurus rex lay on the ground, its thick skin already covered in wounds, bleeding…

The condition of the larger Tyrannosaurus rex was not very good either.

It was also riddled with scars, but compared to the smaller Tyrannosaurus rex, it was indeed in much better shape.

“Roar~~” The larger Tyrannosaurus rex roared furiously at the smaller one.

It was as if it was showing off its victory!

Then, the next second, the victorious Tyrannosaurus rex turned and strode away like a conqueror.

Not far away, an even bulkier Tyrannosaurus rex ran over, came up to the victorious one, and the two slowly left together.

Meanwhile, the injured and defeated Tyrannosaurus rex stood up and left despondently.

Seeing this, Ye Fan grew curious.

According to what he’d read, female Tyrannosaurs were bulkier, which meant…

“Dad, why did those three Tyrannosaurus rexes fight each other, and after the fight, two walked away while the other left alone, looking very sad?” Xiao Wu asked, confused and perplexed.

He couldn’t understand why.

They were all the same species, why would they fight each other?

And the bigger Tyrannosaurus rex seemed to act as a referee.

What was it doing?

“Silly child, you’re still young, but dad can tell you, they fought because of love!” Ye Fan said with a laugh.

Hahaha

Yes, it was all for love!

In many cases, animals are quite similar to humans.

“Dad, now I’m even more confused!” Xiao Wu scratched his head, looking baffled.

He didn’t understand what his father meant.

What love?

“You’re still young, you’ll understand when you grow up!” Ye Fan remarked.

The two of them moved on, proceeding carefully.

“Dad, look, what’s that? Its head looks like it has a tumor, so ugly!” Xiao Wu expressed his disgust openly.

The first time he saw such an ugly dinosaur!

This guy, so hideous!

It’s one thing to be ugly, but being scary because you are ugly is your fault.

Following the direction his son was pointing, Ye Fan saw the dinosaur and then turned back, looking at his son beside him. This kid was something else.

At such a young age, he knew to dislike the ugly and appreciate the beautiful.

“Son, what’s on its head isn’t a tumor!” Ye Fan shook his head, his eyes full of mirth.

“To me, it looks just like the tumors they talk about on TV, so ugly, hideously so!” The little guy waved his hand in disgust.

In his view, it was definitely a tumor!

“This is called Pachycephalosaurus, also known as ‘thick-headed lizard,’ about five meters long. It has a swollen dome on the top of its head, resembling a huge tumor. It walks on two sturdy hind legs and is a type of ornithopod dinosaur. Its face and mouth are adorned with protruding horny or bony spikes or tumors, while the back of its skull is covered with protrusions. The top of the skull is incredibly swollen and raised, up to 25 centimeters thick. Because of the swollen skull, some of the holes on the skull are also closed,” Ye Fan elaborated.

“Dad, you see, its name really suits it well!” Xiao Wu said with a chuckle.

Indeed, the name was perfect!

“You child!” Ye Fan said, shaking his head helplessly.

“Hehe, Dad, I really didn’t expect there to be such uniquely looking dinosaurs!” Xiao Wu explained.
