Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 623 Fragile Amphora has flippers?

This major discovery is simply unimaginable for scientists.

"The largest known carnivorous dinosaur is Tyrannosaurus rex. Compared with A. fragilis, it has only one leg bigger, and the difference in body shape is too great." Professor Fang Zhihua said tremblingly.

"Carnivorous dinosaurs can grow to such a large individual, which may be a devastating existence for other species, but according to the current historical records, there is no such situation. What is going on?" Willie Professor Si was lost.

"Such a big head, shouldn't it be flexible? This does not meet the setting of carnivorous dinosaurs. Predators must have two elements, one is strength, and the other is speed. The fragile A. coelosa must have the strength, but the speed must be It is not its advantage." Professor Fang Zhihua analyzed.

"Didn't you say that its bones are very light? Then it shouldn't be as bulky as other herbivorous dinosaurs?" Professor Chang Pei'an asked.

"It is true that its bone mass is very light, but after all, its body is so huge, and its flexibility is definitely not as good as that of Tyrannosaurus rex. The strength is almost concentrated in the head, and the whole body is almost only the weight of two running legs, which is relatively fragile. Amphora and Tyrannosaurus rex have a greater survival advantage." Professor Fang Zhihua said.

Professor Willis agreed, "A. fragilis may be a strange existence in the history of dinosaurs, a special species that cannot adapt to the environment, so it cannot grow the population, let alone rule the earth."

"Is it a short-lived existence in the history of dinosaurs? I didn't expect that hundreds of millions of years later, we would still know that it existed. This is the meaning of archaeology." Chang Pei'an sighed.

"A race that cannot adapt to the environment and does not develop will eventually be eliminated by history. There are many such short-lived species, but there has never been such a wonderful and amazing one. Thank you for allowing me to see it." Professor Willis Exclaimed.

Before Wang Tianhui installed the fragile A. coelosaurus teeth, no one thought that it turned out to be a carnivorous dinosaur, and it was the largest dinosaur in history.

This dinosaur will shock the world and get the three professors very excited.

"In the long river of history, it is short-lived. Perhaps this is the only trace of it left in the world. What a lonely king." Fang Zhihua sighed.

"If I could see it alive, I would be willing to let it eat me." Professor Willis was even more exaggerated.

"You said this guy is so bulky, how did it survive? How did it grow so big? How did its four legs run over those little dinosaurs and eat them? Didn't it starve to death?" Chang Pei The more An looked at the dinosaur, the weirder it became.

When he said this, Professor Willis and Professor Fang Zhihua also had new doubts.

"Yes, how did it hunt? Since it is the largest dinosaur, all dinosaurs are smaller and more flexible than it. How could it outrun them?" Professor Fang Zhihua looked at Professor Willis.

"Maybe it hunted herbivorous dinosaurs. After all, herbivorous dinosaurs move very slowly, and the success rate should be high." Professor Willis said.

Wang Tianhui shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

As a layman, it might be considered rude for others to question the assumptions of experts, but Wang Tianhui has just helped them solve a century-old problem, and what he said is of great reference value to the three professors.

"Student Wang, tell me what you think." Professor Fang Zhihua asked excitedly.

Wang Tianhui leaned on a pillar-thick leg bone of A. fragilis and said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that herbivorous dinosaurs live in groups, and a giant may be eaten by another super giant alone. , but in the case of a group of giants, do you think this giant will have a chance of winning?"

Wang Tianhui's hypothesis awakened several professors.

Indeed, as he said, herbivorous animals are very weak, and they live by hugging together.

Those giant dragons such as Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, and Brontosaurus, which are more than a dozen and 20 meters long, are like a group of modern African elephants. Although they are small and weak, they are very powerful and destructive. The carnivorous animals dare not approach them at all.

Even if the Fragile Amphora has an absolute size advantage, the good tiger can't stand up to the pack of wolves, and the success rate is almost zero.

"No, there are always people who are alone, right? The old, weak, sick and disabled are enough to eat." Professor Chang Pei'an said.

"Professor Chang, look at the size of A. fragilis. How do you think that an old, weak, sick, and disabled person that you can't meet in ten days and a half months, and there are a lot of other competitors, how can he maintain his daily life?" What about the huge amount of energy that will be consumed?" Wang Tianhui asked rhetorically.

Now Chang Pei'an was questioned and was speechless.

"According to what you said, this kind of dinosaur not only couldn't develop, but even survived. How did it grow so big? It's all about luck, right?"

Professor Fang Zhihua feels that he is just like a layman at this moment, and the research of the previous ten years is completely useless at this moment.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, what exactly are you trying to say? Come on, I'm dying of anxiety." Professor Willis racked his brains and wanted to sweat.

Wang Tianhui glanced down at the huge feet of the Fragile Amphora and said, "Professors, don't you think its feet are too wide?"

Several people looked at the huge feet of A. fragilis. Like other dinosaurs, it had three toes, but each toe was very long, even reaching one-third of the leg bone.

It's okay if Wang Tianhui didn't say it, but when he said that, the more the three of them looked at the shape of the foot, the weirder it became.

"Is this foot too long? The bone of the foot is not very thick, can it really stand firmly?" Chang Pei'an said.

Fang Zhihua made up his mind about the way the Fragile Amphoracoelax walked, it was so weird, and it felt like this foot was in the way.

"This guy is a deformity!"

Professor Willis also added: "It definitely can't run fast, or even very slow. How could there be such a carnivorous dinosaur? It should be starved to death shortly after birth. How could it grow so big?"

The more the three looked at it, the more strange it became.

Not only was the fragile A. coelosaur different from what they had imagined, it wasn't even a normal dinosaur now.

Not only were all those academic imaginary drawings overturned in front of this skeleton, but it also looked like a joke.

"Xiao Wang, tell me quickly, what do you think? I really can't figure it out." Professor Fang Zhihua conceded.

In terms of dinosaur research, his brain is indeed not as clear as Wang Tianhui's.

"That's right, tell me quickly." Professor Willis looked at Wang Tianhui with a little admiration in his eyes.

Wang Tianhui chuckled, picked up a stick on the ground, and drew several arcs in front of the three slender toes of A. fragilis.

"What do you think it would look like if it had webbed feet?"

Looking at the flippers that Wang Tianhui had painted, the jaws of the three professors dropped again.
