Gulu hasn't eaten much for many days, his stomach growled with hunger, and a string of saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth from time to time. He was really hungry.
Gaya was in a hurry and couldn't sleep every day. She went everywhere to find all kinds of fern leaves for Gulu, but Gulu didn't like to eat them.
Gulu's mouth was bitter, he wanted to eat fruit, apples, grapes, pineapples, pineapples... anything with a sweet taste.
But the Cretaceous didn't have any fruit at all.
Although angiosperms appeared in large numbers in the late Cretaceous, they are still very different from today's plant systems, most notably the absence of easy-to-eat seeds and fruits.
If he really had to eat fruit to cure this unappetizing disease, Gulu felt that he would starve to death.
Until the evening of the sixth day, the sunset covered the sky, Mungo came back with some green branches in his mouth, and carefully looked at the small black berries on the branches.
As soon as Mungo approached the nest, Gulu could already smell the sweet smell in the air.
Gulu looked up at Mungo, the fire clouds bloomed gorgeously in the sky, and Mungo's whole body was shining with dazzling golden light.
At this moment, in Gulu's eyes, Mungo is an archangel who descended to earth!
The branch fell into the nest, and Gollum jumped on it immediately.
Gulu who ate a berry: Wow, so sweet, so much juice, so fragrant, oh my god, this is just a fairy berry! Much tastier than modern fruit!
Gulu looked for berries to eat one by one, and the corners of his mouth were filled with purple juice.
Gudong and Guji saw that their brother was eating so deliciously. They had never eaten berries. They had never even seen them before, so they hurriedly looked for berries to eat like Gulu, but they vomited after eating one. They thought it was unpalatable. Still meaty!
Mungo was lying on the edge of the nest watching Gulu.
After Gulu was full, he looked at Mungo. He was so excited that he couldn't help jumping up and giving Mungo a big kiss. The juice on the corner of his mouth was all on Mungo's mouth.
Mungo was also curious about how delicious this berry was, so he couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking the juice at the corner of his mouth, um... It really wasn't as delicious as meat.
Gulu: "Mongo, how do you know I like to eat this? You are so kind!"
Mungo would not tell Gulu, he had been secretly observing the Triceratops group for many days, and found that the cubs in the Triceratops group about the same size as Gulu also showed symptoms of anorexia during this period of time. The parents of the Triceratops gave the cubs Eat this berry.
Of course, Mungo will not know that the triceratops cubs must eat berries when they grow up to about 2-3 months, so that the stomach acid can reach the ability to digest more leaves and ferns. The triceratops will grow very large in the future and need a digestive ability Very powerful stomach.
Triceratops all know that cubs must eat berries at this age, but Tyrannosaurus rex won't know the details of these cubs.
If Mungo hadn't observed the Triceratops and Gollum had not eaten the berries, Gollum would have died of starvation and malnutrition very quickly.
Gollum, who had eaten berries, was able to gorge on ferns and leaves again, and his appetite was better than before, and Gaia was very happy.
The next day, Mongo brought back a red berry, sweet and sour. Yesterday's black berries were very sweet, and today's is a little sour, just to adjust the taste.
On the third day, Mongo brought back a green berry, which was small, crunchy and sweet. The first two berries were not crunchy, and this kind of taste was a bit like an apple.
On the fourth day, Mungo brought back all three kinds of berries, and Gulu was so happy that he was going to heaven.
Gulu studied these kinds of berries seriously, but because he was not specializing in "paleobotany", he finally recognized only the black berry called "Cernelia" belonging to the family Cornelaceae, and the other two were completely unrecognizable.
On the fifth day, Mungo came back with no berries, but hazelnuts and pine nuts! A small number of nuts have appeared in the Cretaceous.
Gollum is craving something tough, hazelnuts and pine nuts are not too good! Gulu felt that Mungo was like a roundworm in his stomach. Mongo knew what he wanted to eat!
He didn't know that Mungo was secretly lurking around the Triceratops group to observe, and what the Triceratops gave the cubs, he gave Gulu to eat.
Because the triceratops cubs need to eat nuts to make their stomachs more wear-resistant after eating berries, their stomach acid greatly increases. The Triceratops tribe of Pardo strictly abides by the "cheats" of raising cubs that have been passed down from generation to generation.
This is also the reason why Pardo's population is growing, and many other Triceratops cubs have extremely high mortality rates because they can't pick enough berries and nuts.
Because these berries and nuts are really difficult to find compared to leaves and ferns, the plants that can bear fruit have not appeared in large numbers in the Cretaceous period, and Mungo was found by secretly following the Triceratops of the Pardo tribe.
Gaia also wanted to go pick these berries and nuts for Gulu, but Mungo didn't allow her to go. The place to pick these was too dangerous, the road was not easy to walk, and there was a high possibility of encountering a Triceratops tribe.
The lonely Tyrannosaurus rex was discovered by the Triceratops tribe and would die without a doubt. Mongo was "artistic and brave" and dared to lurch near the Triceratops tribe alone to observe, and dared to follow the Triceratops to such a dangerous place to pick berries and nuts.
After that, Mungo went to the vicinity of the Pado ethnic group from time to time to observe how these triceratops raised their cubs, for fear that Gollum would have a special situation that he and Gaia could not handle again.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Gulu and Gudong Gudong were more than three months old, and the lair could no longer stop them, and they could crawl out to play by themselves at any time.
Mungo and Gaia occasionally take the cubs to the prey site to eat meat, instead of always bringing them back to the lair for them to eat.
On this day, when Gaia heard the roar of Mungo calling them to eat, she immediately flew over with the cubs.
When Gulu saw the prey lying on the ground, he was stunned, it was too big!
This is a male Argentinosaurus. It should not be completely dead, but it has no strength to struggle, and can only wait to be eaten alive.
This 100-ton behemoth, with 15.5 tons of bones, 5.5 tons of blood, 9 tons of fur, 20 tons of fat and 50 tons of meat, is enough to feed the entire ecosystem for days.
The strong, bloody and meaty smell of the giant male Argentinosaurus attracts all predators within a few kilometers.
Mungo's brothers stood beside the male Argentinosaurus, and the rest of the predatory dinosaurs stood far away and did not dare to come over and grab food from the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
These dinosaurs standing far away all saw the small triceratops in this group of Tyrannosaurus rex.
Although they had long known that Mongo's clan had a triceratops cub, they had only heard of it. After seeing it with their own eyes, they still thought it was incredible!
Mapuron No. 1: Mongo really raised a triceratops!
Mapron 2: Yes, Mungo is crazy!
Velociraptor: Did Mongo want to raise that triceratops before eating it
Troodontosaurus: Mungo's brain really has a problem!
Toothless Pterodactyl: This world is too crazy, Tyrannosaurus rex is the parent of Triceratops!
Gorgeous Feather King Dragon: I don't believe it, every beautiful feather of mine doesn't believe it's real!
…
Gaya and Mungo took the three cubs to the side of the Argentine dragon unhurriedly. Mungo's brothers waited for the boss to eat first before they dared to speak.
There is also a strict hierarchy in the ethnic group composed of sub-adult Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the rest of the Tyrannosaurus Rex cannot be eaten until the boss does not eat.
Mungo jumped onto the back of the Argentinosaurus, he let out a roar, and bit down, and the rest of the male Tyrannosaurus rex dared to eat.
The best back meat of Argentinosaurus is, of course, exclusive to Mongo, who dared to eat the rest of the Tyrannosaurus rex when he was full.
Gaia took the cubs to eat the hind legs that were easier to tear off, and the cubs had too little bite force to eat the back meat at all.
Of course, Gollum was just here to mess around.
After Mungo was full, he bit down a large piece of loin and brought it to the cubs, and also helped Gaia look after the children, so that Gaia could also eat the loin.
The hierarchy in the sub-adult Tyrannosaurus rex group is not to show some kind of privilege like humans, but to improve the survival rate. Everything is based on the principle of the leader Tyrannosaurus rex being fed first, because the leader Tyrannosaurus Rex is the backbone against foreign enemies.
For example, there are still many predatory dinosaurs around now standing far away, waiting for them to finish eating so they can pick up the second crop. Among them, there are several adult male Tyrannosaurus rex about the same size as Mungo, but they dare not act rashly.
Mongo is the most powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex in this piece. Even adult Tyrannosaurus rex dare not be tough with him, not to mention Mongo has such a powerful brother group. Adult Tyrannosaurus rex is alone, so they dare not come over. scramble.
After Mungo's group was full and walked away, the rest of the predators dared to come up to eat.
On the way back, they walked very slowly. When passing the Dada River, Gulu saw two adult Tyrannosaurus rex on the other side. The male Tyrannosaurus seemed to be pursuing the female Tyrannosaurus.
Gulu can't walk anymore, he hasn't seen the courtship scene of Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Driven by great curiosity, Gulu rubbed his head against Gaia's big claws and acted like a spoiled child: "Mama, Mama, I want to see the two Tyrannosaurus rex on the opposite side here, can you accompany me, okay... "
Gaia was very puzzled: "What's so good about that?"
Adhering to the spirit of scientific research, Gulu is going to be a bear boy for a while: "I have to watch it, I have to watch it, Mama..."
Mungo said, "Gaya, go back first, I'll show him."
To be honest, Gulu is still very afraid of Mongo. Although Mongo is his "exclusive food delivery little angel", he will bring him all kinds of delicious food every day, but Mongo is too high and cold, making Gulu unpredictable. through.
Gulu: "I, I can actually not look at it..."
Ga Ya: "I'm relieved to have Mongo to watch with you. Let's see, come back early."
Gulu: Mom, Mom, don't go, is it too late for me to regret it now...
