Chapter 1679: Emperor Crocodile

The first thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight chapters of the emperor crocodile
In the middle of this huge rock, there is a gap like a gate. All the river water is injected into the lake from this gap.
If these big fish want to enter the lake water, they have to swim into the lake from the gap in the middle of the boulder.
But these big fish did not swim into the lake from the gap. They chose to jump out of the water from the side of the gap, and then jumped over the huge boulder.
This kind of sight is really amazing, it can be said that the carp has jumped into the dragon gate.
‘Dad, do you think this counts as a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Feifei said, looking at the scene in front of her.
After hearing Feifei’s words, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, ‘Of course, this is the real carp leaping over the dragon gate. ’
Just when Zhao Zhongyao was talking like this, every day he saw that in the middle of this lake, there seemed to be a small island, and on this small island, there was a huge boulder. On this huge boulder, there is something gleaming.
‘Dad, look, is that the amethyst gem we are looking for. ’He pointed to the middle of the lake and said every day.
After hearing what Tiantian said, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei looked towards the middle of the lake together. When they saw it, they both looked excited.
‘Haha, that’s great, this is the eighth amethyst gem we are looking for. Zhao Zhongyao said happily.
‘Dad, what are you waiting for, can we get the eighth amethyst gem in the past. Feifei said happily.
‘Yes, we can go get the eighth amethyst gem. But how do we get to that small island! Zhao Zhongyao said with some worry.
When Feifei and Tiantian heard what their father said, they both frowned. After all, there are still hundreds of meters away from this place to the middle of the lake. If there were no boats on such a wide lake, how could it be possible to go to the small island in the middle of the lake.
‘Dad, what should we do now, should we think of a way to go to the small island in the middle of the lake. Said Feifei.
'Yes! Dad, think of a solution quickly! Feifei said so too.
After Zhao Zhongyao listened to his son and daughter, he began to think of a solution.
But at this moment, suddenly a big monster rushed up from the lake by the lake, and it suddenly rushed in front of Zhao Zhongyao, Feifei and Tiantian.
When they saw this monster, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were shocked every day.
The three of them immediately turned and ran to the distance.
This huge monster just rushed to Zhao Zhongyao and the others, and after seeing Zhao Zhongyao and them leaving, it didn't chase them anymore. Just lying on the lakeside, quietly watching Zhao Zhongyao and the three of them who ran far away.
When Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei still had Tiantian, they turned around and ran to a place 40 or 50 meters away from the monster, and they stopped again.
When they saw that the monster was not chasing them, they didn't have to run anymore.
‘Dad, what kind of monster is this, how it looks like a huge crocodile. Looking at the monster in front of him, Feifei felt very scared. He saw that this monster looked like a kind of crocodile, except that it was bigger and had a more slender mouth.
‘Dad, isn’t this just a giant carp! Tian Tian was also very scared, she couldn't help hiding behind Zhao Zhongyao.
Zhao Zhongyao stared at this monster for a while, and he said, ‘This is a crocodile, but it should be an emperor crocodile. ’
Zhao Zhongyao has recognized the name of a monster, this is the prehistoric river behemoth on earth-the emperor crocodile.
‘What, an emperor crocodile. Feifei looked at the monster in front of him in surprise and said.
‘Yes, this is a kind of prehistoric giant crocodile-the monarch crocodile. Said Zhao Zhongyao.
‘Dad, can you tell me something about this crocodile. Feifei looked at his father curiously and said.
‘Okay, let me talk about this kind of prehistoric crocodile.
Tian Tian looked at his father in surprise, and didn't understand the difference between this crocodile and the current crocodile.
Next, Zhao Zhongyao said something about this kind of emperor crocodile.
Emperor crocodile, also known as muscle crocodile, emperor crocodile, super giant crocodile, means "muscle crocodile", is an extinct crocodile. They lived in Africa in the Early Cretaceous Period and were one of the largest crocodile animals ever to survive.
The emperor crocodile is 8-13 meters long and weighs 4-11 tons. It uses various prehistoric fish as its main food.
The imperial crocodile lived in the early Cretaceous period about 110 million years ago. It is one of the largest crocodiles ever living on the earth. Its adult body length can reach 13 meters, which is completely comparable to those theropod dinosaurs. .
Not only that, the emperor crocodile’s sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and it can smell the scent of its prey even in the water. Coupled with the 1.8-meter-long mouth full of sharp teeth, even a small dinosaur will instantly become itss. Thing in the mouth.
Like true crocodiles, imperial crocodiles may have a wide range of vocalizations. Emperor crocodiles may use these voices to define the territory, attract the opposite sex, and communicate with their offspring.
The eye sockets of the emperor crocodile are slightly upward, indicating that the animal may spend most of its time immersed in the water, observing prey on the shore. They seem to feed on large fish and tortoises from the Cretaceous period.
The protruding jaws and strong teeth are used for grabbing and crushing. Their main prey may be large animals and smaller dinosaurs. They ambush in the water and drag the prey into the water, crushing and drowning the prey. , Tearing.
The imperial crocodile may have a predation conflict with the crocodile dragon found in the same formation. The crocodile dragon is a theropod dinosaur with a maximum length of 12 meters and has a jaw similar to a gator. Paul Serino declared that because this group of animals is very large, they can easily hunt small and medium dinosaurs, including juveniles of large sauropods with long necks and small heads in Africa.
Other crocodile biologists doubted the hunting ability of this giant animal. The long and thin snouts of the imperial crocodiles are very similar to the narrow snouts of modern alligators, pseudo alligators, and crocodiles. The above-mentioned species feed on fish and cannot track large prey.
Compared with modern Nile crocodile and extinct dein crocodile, both Nile crocodile and dein crocodile have very broad and thick skulls, which are suitable for biting large prey. Because there were a large number of finfish in the area at that time, many experts believed that the emperor was just a large fish-eating animal, a scaly version of the modern alligator, not a dinosaur killer.
However, juvenile crocodiles and modern crocodiles with narrow snouts have similar snout widths, but the snouts and noses of adult crocodiles are extremely extended. If the ratio of the snout and nose to the body is calculated, the emperor crocodile is narrower than the Nile crocodile, but the width is still wider than that of the giraffe. In addition, the teeth of the emperor crocodile are not intertwined like most fish-eating crocodiles, which shows that it mainly feeds on fish and supplements land animals, just like the Nile crocodile.
The total fin fish that live in the same waters as the imperial crocodiles are often more than 1.8 meters in length and weigh up to 90 kilograms. This increases the possibility of hunting large or medium-sized terrestrial animals instead of feeding on these large fishes, many of which have a protective layer of intradermal bone formation.
In the Early Cretaceous period 110 million years ago, the Sahara Desert was a tropical plain, scattered with lakes, rivers and streams, and the shores were covered with vegetation.
The size and appearance of modern true crocodiles are very similar, and they tend to live in different areas; the imperial crocodiles are one of the crocodilian animals, and the crocodile-shaped animals are very different in size and appearance, and most of them live in the same area. Four crocodile-shaped animals were found on the same rock layer as the imperial crocodile, including the dwarf crocodile with an 8 cm long head.
They occupy diverse and different ecological niches, rather than competing with each other for food resources.
Calculated according to the formula containing hippos and excluding African elephants, the weight is still decent. The legs of the imperial crocodile should actually be strong enough. For example, a male hippopotamus of 2000kg is about 450mm in circumference, and the imperial muscle crocodile is assumed to be calculated at 580mm, even if it is enlarged by the index 2.733 , The theoretical value is about 4000kg.
Therefore, even if its land mobility is calculated as semi-upright, it has part of the mobility that should have a hippopotamus, and the pelvic gut bone of the emperor crocodile is much wider than the real crocodile, and can attach more muscles.
Therefore, it should be considered that the emperor muscle crocodile is sometimes like Lowe's crocodile and Fasola crocodile, which can move on land, catch a sauropod cub that can swallow it, and migrate between fishery and fishery, rather than always in the water. Inside swimming ambush prey.
Past paleontological investigations believed that dinosaurs were not the only rulers on the earth about 110 million years ago. Paleontologists at the University of Chicago recently discovered the fossil of a giant crocodile in the Teneré Desert in Niger. This crocodile is the "king of crocodile".
At the same time, these researchers were surprised to find that this crocodile living in the water can be called a "monster." It is about 11.65 meters long and weighs 10 tons. Moreover, this crocodile was in the same period as the dinosaurs-the Cretaceous period, and was one of the most ferocious carnivores at that time.
What surprised researchers even more was that such crocodiles shared the warm Cretaceous climate with dinosaurs in the ancient times when dinosaurs were rampant. It can prey on dinosaurs mainly because it has a very special body structure. There is a huge bulbous protrusion at the end of its nose, with a cavity inside the protrusion.
This makes it extremely sensitive to smell and can make strange sounds. Moreover, the teeth of this super crocodile are also extraordinary. Compared with the animals that generally live on fish, its lower teeth not only intersect with the upper teeth, but also can be embedded in it accurately. Among more than 100 teeth, a row of incisors can crush bones and tear like small dinosaurs. In addition, its eyes are tilted upwards incomprehensibly.
In addition, there is a layer of flaky bone "armor" on the crocodile's skin. These "armors" not only mark the age of the crocodile like the annual rings of a tree, but also protect the crocodile from harm when it preys on its prey.
