Chapter 345 [Cretaceous Period] 19
Scientists estimate that the time it took for Tyrannosaurus Rex to give birth was about the same as that of Hypacrosaurus, about half a year.
Half a year has passed, from summer to winter, which is not good news for the cubs still in the eggs.
Not to mention, after birth, it takes half a year to hatch these eggs.
Feng Lan observed the eggs laid by the black-eyed partner through the plants from a certain distance. There were thirteen eggs in total, and perhaps half of them were stillborn. It would be a very good probability if two or three were finally born. However, now, these little guys still had weak heartbeats. As long as they could survive the cold winter, they would have overcome half of their difficulties.
The remaining half depends on fate, parents and luck.
Feng Lan has reservations about the new couple Heiyan's experience in raising cubs.
Feng Lan became even more suspicious after seeing them take turns on guard at night and then accidentally crush an egg while dozing off.
Feng Lan still had some affection for Red Hair and Black Eyes due to their daily interactions, but her attitude towards these eggs that had just been fertilized was very objective and cold.
By the time winter was almost over, the new couple, Black Eye, had finally adapted to their roles as prospective parents and became relatively adept at hatching cubs.
Ahem, this relative refers to when they just became new parents.
Of course, this is very normal for a young Tyrannosaurus couple whose combined age is less than 20 years old. However, at this time, there are only seven strong Tyrannosaurus eggs that have survived by chance in their nest.
After all, the black-eyed couple had to stay close to the eggs to provide them with warmth and prevent them from freezing to death in the wind and snow. They couldn't sleep too deeply, otherwise they would accidentally crush the fragile eggs. They couldn't bury the eggs tightly because the eggs still needed to breathe and they would suffocate to death... The black-eyed couple didn't get a good night's sleep throughout the winter.
After a winter, they became much more haggard and thinner, but the arrival of spring only made life a little better for the black-eyed couple. All this will not end until this summer when the eggs hatch. This difficult stage will then end, and then they will usher in the next equally difficult stage of raising children.
Just like Feng Lan and their Tyrannosaurus Rex parents, when she and her two younger brothers were born, they were very weak, so their parents took turns staying in the nest to look after them. However, the Black-Eyed couple were lucky.
Because the sea area that Feng Lan found was very quiet and there were not many large dinosaurs, the number of Microraptors that would poach was naturally smaller, and the living environment of these Tyrannosaurus Rex cubs was not too harsh.
But at the same time, the ecology of this sea area is destined to not have too many carnivorous Tyrannosaurus Rex. Otherwise, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which eats a lot and has no natural enemies, will soon eat the herbivorous dinosaurs here to extinction. Without the herbivorous dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus Rex will not be able to survive, and the overgrowth of vegetation will eventually cause the ecological balance of this area to be disrupted...
Feng Lan and Hongmao would go to visit the Black Eyed couple at the beginning, especially Hongmao who had many memories of fighting side by side with Black Eyed. However, Black Eyed, who was influenced by the double buff of family and cubs, didn't think so. During one of their visits, Hongmao was treated as an enemy and expelled by Black Eyed. He was even bitten. Feng Lan saw Hongmao coming back unhappy, with bite marks left by Black Eyed on his neck.
From then on, Red Hair never looked at Black Eyes again.
Spring is a warm season when everything comes back to life and grows. It is also a season when various animals and plants are restless.
During this season, mature animals will call their friends and actively communicate and interact in order to find suitable friends to help them through the restless period.
Red-haired is Black-eyed's older brother. Logically speaking, if Black-eyed can find a mate, then Red-haired should also have entered sexual maturity and should actively look for a mate in the spring.
Feng Lan observed her younger brother with her big eyes and found that he was no different from last year or the previous years. He did not show any restlessness, howling, or rubbing against trees.
It shouldn’t be like this. It really shouldn’t be like this.
Feng Lan decided to observe Hongmao carefully for a while.
Spring at the seaside is filled with a damp atmosphere, and the wind carries a lingering fishy and salty smell mixed with the unique fragrance of spring plants.
Red Hair's day was simple. He would wake up at an irregular time in the morning, roll around in his nest, stretch, then slowly get up to go hunting with Feng Lan. After dinner, he would lie on the warm beach, which had been basking in the sun all morning. He would open his mouth and let the birds clean the food particles between his teeth. Meanwhile, while he was half asleep, small rodents and reptiles would climb onto his massive body to clean the dead skin and debris between his folds...
In the afternoon, Red Hair would slowly enter the sea water. Now it has become a Tyrannosaurus Rex with excellent swimming ability. It has become a good friend of the Plesiosaur. The two guys would even hunt together in the water.
Today, Feng Lan watched the plesiosaur carrying Red Hair swimming to the area between the deep sea and the shallow sea, then shouted, left Red Hair floating on the water, and dived into the deep sea alone. After a while, the plesiosaur staggered back in panic with a Mosasaur!
Judging from its size, this Mosasaur is not very old and is about the same size as a Plesiosaur. However, just like Tyrannosaurus Rex is the dominant force on land, Mosasaur is the dominant force in the water.
This young Hoffmann's Mosasaur was originally preying on a Barydon, but it's clear that a young and clearly inexperienced plesiosaur is also a heavyweight meal.
Judging from its gorgeous and brightly colored skin, this young Mosasaur lived a pretty good life. The plesiosaur in front was fleeing in panic, and this Hoffmann's Mosasaur was following closely behind, only occasionally surfacing to breathe, giving the plesiosaur a chance to breathe, but the plesiosaur also needed to breathe.
So the distance between the Mosasaur and the Plesiosaur sometimes narrowed, sometimes lengthened, and finally, the Plesiosaur brought the obviously superior Mosasaur to the junction of the deep and shallow seas.
When Red Hair heard the howling signal from the plesiosaur, he quietly dived into the water, like a shadow blending into the sea water.
At a delicate moment, the Mosasaur seemed to realize something was wrong. It hesitated and paused. Its biological instinct told it that there was danger ahead, but it was too late.
"Wow--"
From the shadows, a Tyrannosaurus Rex leaped out, one that shouldn't have been in the water! Red Hair opened its bloody maw and clamped down on the Mosasaur's tail like a python. Its sharp, serrated teeth, over twenty centimeters long, dug into the flesh, and the terrifying bite force filled the water with a crimson glow.
The Mosasaur, which had lost part of its tail, immediately fell into a bad situation. It then realized that it had fallen into the trap of the plesiosaur. The Mosasaur howled and turned around to escape.
The plesiosaur suddenly turned around, and unlike its previous panic-stricken look, it bit the Mosasaur as well, and more blood dyed the sea red.
Water splashed on the sea surface, and the blood covered the cruelty beneath the water. Waves rolled over, and finally, the blood was diluted by the sea water. Only the incomplete body of the Mosasaur, with its gorgeous colorful skin vaguely visible, floated on the water.
