Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the sun rises and sets, the Cretaceous land continues to repeat its stories day after day.  Every day, new dinosaurs emerge from their shells, and some are hunted, die of illness, die of old age, etc. and say goodbye to this world for various reasons.  Yang Qian was waiting, hoping to see a new dinosaur break out of its shell soon.  At this time, he was carefully hiding his body behind a clump of plants. Although this was a bit deceptive, after all, those plants could not cover his huge body.  Through the front of the plants, there is a group of protoceratops that are busy laying eggs in a small forest. Two particularly tall protoceratops are the targets of Yang Gan's observation.  He has been tracking these two Protoceratops for several days. It was not until today that they came to the location of laying eggs. At this time, they were making preparations before laying eggs.  This is at the foot of a hill. There are not many tall trees on the hill, but a small river bypasses the hill, making the plants nearby particularly lush.  There is no doubt that this is the most suitable place that the Protoceratops have found for the young Protoceratops that are about to be born, to ensure that they can find sufficient food after they are born.  On the plant in front of Yang Gan, there is also a small green winged lizard, it is Xiao Qing.  At this time, the little guy also opened his eyes wide, but with his gurgling eyes, no one knew what he was looking at.  As for the velociraptor that Yang Gan named Queen, he has never seen it since that day.  This is the Cretaceous period, an era of giant beasts in the history of the earth. A velociraptor, even if it is genetically evolved, is just an insignificant life.  Maybe it has been lying quietly somewhere and become food for other carnivores; or maybe it is no longer crazy and is leading a group of velociraptors across the mountain forest and plains somewhere in the Cretaceous; or maybe it is  I have found another velociraptor of the opposite sex that has also evolved genes, and is waiting to give birth to a little life of my own.  This is the Cretaceous, the miracle of life is everywhere, and everything is possible.  A few days after it left, Yang Qian completed his longest-lasting portrayal.  When he carved the last stroke, he silently told himself this sentence.  Just like the Protoceratops in front of us, who are just preparing to lay eggs. Soon, the eggs they will lay are not a miracle of life?  Maybe one day in the future, I will meet the queen again. She is in a cave, lighting a fire and grilling meat!  The preparations of the Protoceratops have been going on for a long time, and Yang Qian has become impatient for so long.  They are indeed very impatient. They have been preparing for ** days before they officially start laying eggs.  Unlike pterosaurs, herbivorous dinosaurs can build nests on the top of high cliffs; unlike carnivorous dinosaurs, they have powerful force and their own territory.  So we can only be as careful as possible and lay many eggs at the same time to cope with the survival crisis from nature.  From this moment on, these eggs begin to face various dangers. Egg thieves are everywhere, and there are countless creatures that snatch eggs.  Only those eggs that are lucky enough can get the chance to hatch smoothly, and if they hatch, they may not be able to grow up; if they grow up, they may not survive the annual great migration; if they can migrate smoothly, they may not be able to escape  Even if you are lucky enough to be alive, only one can evolve; and even if you evolve, you may not be able to find a suitable mate Yang Qian didn't know how he thought of that animal again.  The Velociraptor Queen quickly cheered up and carefully observed the female Protoceratops who were working hard to lay eggs, especially taking note of the locations where the two evolved Protoceratops laid eggs.  Now he is lying in the grove near the mountain, with a few gravels, a few plants and a few small trees as cover.  It doesn¡¯t matter if you have cover, but if you dig a big hole in the ground, get some loose soil, and then get in, you¡¯ll be safe.  And Yang Qian did just that.  Because it has been well hidden, it was not discovered by the Protoceratops.  After they cleared the egg-laying ground, they wandered around and waited for a few days, just to prevent future dangers.  It's a pity that the devil is so tall that he didn't notice the huge Deinosuchus hiding nearby.  Otherwise, they will definitely move to a new place to lay their eggs immediately.  Between the sparse woods, simple nests were dug, with only some branches and leaves spread on them.  Next, gray and spotted dinosaur eggs fell into it.  The female Protoceratops carefully arranged the eggs so that they were not in a mess.  Then start covering it with some dead branches, leaves and loose soil, completing the first step of reproducing offspring.  Next, there will be a long wait of nearly two months until the eggs hatch.  This hill is not too close to the mountains stretching in the distance, so the danger from the mountains and forests will be relatively less, which undoubtedly eases the work of the female Protoceratops.  But it is not without danger. The aura emitted by the female Protoceratops when she lays eggs has attracted some coveters. However, the Protoceratops are guarding it at this time, and the egg thieves dare not come over.  But when Yang Gan saw the egg thieves, his eyes turned red.  It¡¯s not that enemies don¡¯t get together!  The first batch of egg thieves who came over were none other than Troodon.  Thinking about how he was framed by one of these guys just after he stepped into the forest, and then chased several mountains by a group of female seismosaurs, Yang Qian felt a little gritted.  But now the egg thieves have no chance. The female Protoceratops will always show surprising courage when protecting their offspring.  Without enough force, most carnivorous dinosaurs would rather attack Protoceratops, which left alone to forage, than attack those eggs.  Except for these little thieves who love to steal eggs.  Time passed day by day, and Yang Qian lay there as quietly as a stone. Even if he occasionally turned over and made some noise, it would not attract the attention of the female Protoceratops.  Because when they look over here alertly, they will always see a small green lizard swinging on the branch above.  The Protoceratops guarding the egg is not too wary of a Hollow-tailed Lizard. After all, with its harmless appearance and slender body, it does not look like an egg thief.  Troodon is a typical opportunist. They send out sentries almost every day to observe the female Protoceratops. Although they have never succeeded, they have never given up.  On this day, while most of the Protoceratops went out to look for food, leaving only one evolved Protoceratops and one ordinary Protoceratops to guard, they finally started to take action.
