Chapter 1555: Megatooth by the lake

The first thousand seven hundred and forty-three chapters of the giant tooth pig by the lake
Feifei saw this movement of his father, and he stopped saying anything. Just staring at the lake ahead. I want to see what comes out, how can my dad be so nervous.
It turned out that Zhao Zhongyao saw the bush in front of him sway a while ago, and he felt that some animals were coming out again. Moreover, to the extent that the bushes swayed just now, he felt that this animal should be a relatively huge animal. To be safe, he quickly pulled Feifei and hid among the bushes on one side.
The surrounding suddenly became very silent. Zhao Zhongyao was also a little nervous. After all, he felt that this animal must be relatively large. It can't be any more small animals. Feifei was not very nervous at all. He also thought, it must be a small animal like a little wild boar again.
But when Feifei thought this way, there was a sway among the trees by the lake in front, and a huge animal came out from it.
As soon as this animal came out, both Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei's eyes widened. Because the two of them saw that this animal was really huge. It is much larger than the two small animals before.
This animal is not only huge, but also terrifying in appearance. The whole image looks like a huge wild boar, except that the two fangs exposed outside the pig's mouth are very long. And it is bent and twisted outwards, with long black brown hair growing on the back. And it looks very hard, one by one is half upright.
When Zhao Zhongyao looked at this animal, he screamed, ‘Huge-toothed pig! ’
Of course Feifei saw this huge wild boar. He was also very surprised, not knowing whether this animal was a wild boar.
Just after hearing what the old man said, he asked strangely, ‘what kind of animal is Megalodon, is it also a wild boar! ’
Zhao Zhongyao heard it and said with a smile, ‘haha, it should be a wild boar. But it is not an ordinary wild boar, it is the ancestor of the wild boar. ’
Upon hearing this, Feifei asked curiously, ‘Dad, why do you say that, how can this gigantic pig is the ancestor of the wild boar. ’
‘Okay, it seems that you still don’t understand this animal, so I will tell you a story about this giant-toothed pig! Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.
‘Okay, then you can talk about it! Feifei also wants to know the story about this giant-toothed pig.
There is an idiom called "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger." This is also one of the 36 strategies. It refers to deliberately pretending to be a fool to let the opponent neglect, and then take the opportunity to win the final victory.
In everyone's subconscious mind, pigs are always considered to be the weaker party. This domesticated mammal has become a delicacy on the table. But in fact, the pig's ancestors are not easy to provoke. Not only are they not cute, but they are an ancient behemoth, one of the land overlords.
To talk about the history of pigs, this is far away. Dating back 40 million years ago, there are signs that domestic pigs may come from Europe and Asia. Among the fossils discovered by people, it has been proven that there are animals like wild boars that shuttle through forests and swamps. There are two common pigs, domestic pigs and wild boars. Domestic pigs are plump and slow, giving the impression of laziness.
In fact, this is just an illusion. From birth to the end of life, they all move in a small space, so the acquired environment limits the explosive power of domestic pigs. The wild boar is completely different, because living in the wild, without the generous treatment of food to open their mouths, they can only do things by themselves. Facing the complex living environment, the wild boar is not only responsive, but also has amazing attack power. Regarded as a dangerous animal, in terms of combat effectiveness, unarmed humans are by no means an opponent of an adult wild boar.
Domestic pigs and wild boars differ greatly in appearance. Domestic pigs were domesticated in China, and the history of pig raising can be traced back to the early and middle Neolithic era. According to the records of oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in Yin Ruins, pigs were bred in houses during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Then, with the development of production, the requirement for distinguishing different pigs gradually came into being. One of the major innovations in pig raising technology in the Shang and Zhou era was the invention of the steer technology.
The domestic pigs were castrated, which not only made them more docile, but also made them more peaceful and fleshy. To put it bluntly, all the pork we eat today are pigs. With the development of agricultural production, the technology of raising pigs has become more and more mature. It can not only satisfy the consumption of one's own family, but also be used as a sideline and sold for money. This tradition is still maintained in the countryside. Closer to home, the pig looks naive and is labelled as lazy and delicious.
In fact, their ancestors are completely opposite, not only fierce-looking, but also extremely powerful. The pig's ancestor is called Wantooth pig, and another name is Bowjaw pig. This is a genus of Perodontidae. They lived in Eurasia and North America from the late Eocene to the late Oligocene (about 30-23 million years ago). They are huge, up to more than 1 meter tall, weighing up to 500 kilograms, and possibly even 800 kilograms.
Such an ancient behemoth is more than just a vase. Their upper and lower jaws are extremely strong, far exceeding the bite force of a crocodile. If you put your arm in its mouth, you can instantly break your bones. Does this break your cognition of pigs in an instant? Don't think it's incredible. 30 million years ago, pigs were like this.
How fierce is the end-tooth pig? It can be said that they are the largest beasts that have lived in North America after the dinosaurs. The pair of curved canine teeth and the many large, hard teeth make that basically no animals dare to provoke them, unless they cannibalize them. Toothed pigs are similar to baboons. They are omnivorous animals. Although they usually feed on plants, when they want to eat meat, many small animals have become a delicacy in its recipe.
Compared with the saber-toothed tiger, the complete-toothed pigs are more terrifying. Faced with the only possible opponent Megalodon, they can use their own weight advantage to directly hit, and they can directly stun a Megalodon that is larger than themselves with one blow. As the ancestor of pigs, Wantooth pigs differ greatly in appearance, size, or attack power.
They are considered distant relatives of modern pigs, because it is an offshoot of the early evolution of Porciniformes, and the real pigs are the backbone of the evolution of Porciniformes. The wantodon prospered for a while in the Oligocene, and then became extinct in the Miocene.
In a short period of time, the full-toothed pig grew to the size of a bison and became the most ferocious bully on the grassland. This identity image and status are unmatched by modern pigs.
Zhao Zhongyao told Feifei some stories about ancient giant pigs. After hearing this, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Dad, so to speak, the big wild boar in front of us is a full-toothed pig. ’
After hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘this is not a full-toothed pig, this is a megalodoned pig, this is an animal on the earth ten thousand years ago. The complete tooth pig should be the ancestor of the mega tooth pig. It is an animal ten million years ago.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei said, ‘This giant-toothed pig was an animal on the earth ten thousand years ago. No wonder it looks like a modern wild boar. ’
‘Yes, the appearance of this giant-toothed pig is very close to a modern wild boar. It's just that it's bigger, and the fangs on its mouth are longer. Zhao Zhongyao also knows this kind of giant-toothed pig very well.
After hearing what his father said, Feifei thought that some huge beasts appeared on the earth 10,000 years ago. The most famous of these is the saber-toothed tiger.
As soon as he saw this giant-toothed pig, Feifei looked at his father again and asked, ‘dad, if there is a giant-toothed pig here, will there be a saber-toothed tiger too! Didn't these two animals live in one period? ’
Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei’s words and said, ‘who knows, this is Venus and not the earth. If it is on earth, there should be a saber-toothed tiger. Whether it will be here or not is not certain. ’
Besides, this giant-toothed pig stood there for a while after coming out of the bush. It looked up and looked around, as if to see if there was any movement around it.
The place where Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were staying was about ten meters away from this giant-toothed pig. The two of them watched this giant-toothed pig look around, so they didn't say anything more quickly. I'm afraid it will find them both.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei again and said in a low voice, ‘Don’t move, if this big wild boar finds us both, it’s over. Look at its huge figure, we are not its opponents at all. ’
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei didn't dare to say anything, and stayed there and didn't dare to move. After all, he also saw this big wild boar, which was huge and weighed almost two to three hundred kilograms.
Looking at this giant-toothed pig staying in place for a while, it looked up and observed the movement around it, and when it felt there was no danger, it walked slowly towards the lake. Obviously, it is going to the lake to drink water.
But when this giant-toothed pig came to the lake, it didn't dare to move forward. It kept raising its head and peering into the water by the lake, as if feeling something dangerous in the water.
As soon as he saw this phenomenon, Feifei thought of what he had seen in programs such as "Animal World" on TV. Some animals went to the river to drink water, and when they were drinking, a huge crocodile suddenly sprang out of the water, and then bit the head or leg of the drinking animal, and then slammed the animal hard. Drag into the water.
Such scenes are often seen in programs like "Animal World" that specifically broadcast animals.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Feifei thought of such a lens. I feel that this giant-toothed pig is also hesitating whether there will be a big crocodile in the water!
Thinking of this, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked in a low voice, ‘Dad, are there any crocodiles in this lake? ’
Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei's words and said, ‘who knows! It seems that there is nothing in this water, there must be some danger that made this gigantic pig so scared. ’
‘Okay, let’s see what monsters will appear in the water in a while. Feifei felt that there must be some monsters in this lake. Otherwise, this giant-toothed pig would not be so scared, it would not dare to go directly to this lake to drink water.
However, thinking about the huge body of this giant-toothed pig, it is still afraid of monsters in the water, which shows that the monsters in the water must be very huge. Even such a huge giant tooth pig is a little scared.
Thinking of this, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Dad, in this way, there must be a huge monster in this water. Otherwise, this giant-toothed pig would not be so scared and would not dare to drink water directly. ’
‘Yes, it must be so. The monster in this water must be very huge, otherwise, it is not enough to make this giant-toothed pig be so careful. ’
Zhao Zhongyao has also seen some scenes in "Animal World". Knowing that in this case, there must be some monster in the water.
Besides, after this giant-toothed pig hesitated for a while by the water, he walked slowly towards the water. Obviously, he is also very thirsty and wants to drink water quickly.
After all, this is Venus, regardless of the water, the temperature is still very high. Because it can be seen with the naked eye that the entire surface of the lake is warm, obviously the temperature here is still very high.
Zhao Zhongyao also used the measuring tool in the spacesuit to measure the temperature here. He saw that the temperature here was 56 degrees. Although this temperature is a lot lower than other places. But relatively speaking, it is still a very high temperature.
It's just that Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei are wearing thick spacesuits, and they have no direct contact with the outside world. The two of them couldn't feel the heat here. But the animals living here are different, they are always feeling the high temperature here.
Therefore, the animals here have to drink water frequently. Because of the high temperature outside, the water on them evaporates very quickly. They need a lot of water every day to be able to survive here.
This giant-toothed pig felt thirsty and wanted to go to the lake to drink. It's just that he is very careful. Because the lake looks quiet, maybe there is a huge monster hidden in it!
But this giant-toothed pig couldn't stand the temptation of the lake. In other words, it is too thirsty to stand it. Even if it knew what monsters were in the lake, it still had to venture to the lake to drink.
This giant-toothed pig came slowly to the lake now, and first looked around carefully. Then I walked to the lake and started drinking.
And Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei looked at the scene in front of them, and in their minds, some classic shots from "Animal World" immediately appeared.
A wild boar is drinking at a watering hole in the African savannah. Suddenly a huge carp sprang out of the water, bit the wild boar's head, and dragged it into the water.
