Chapter 2 Digging Holes
After searching for a few minutes, Zhang Jun found that it was a relatively flat forest, with no mountains or rivers around, and no fresh water sources such as lakes and ponds.
But judging from the signs of the huge Diplodocus activity that passed by just now, there must be a water source nearby, probably in the direction of the Diplodocus group, which should not be difficult to find.
Zhang Jun is now very small, and in the era of Jurassic giant beasts, it is easy to be killed by large carnivorous dinosaurs, so the danger of going out alone to find water is very great.
The forests here are home to a large number of ginkgo biloba and cycad trees, which can also be seen in the 21st century, and which are not much different from later generations, except that their leaves are larger and thicker.
Zhang Jun found that the surrounding terrain was similar, and he couldn't find a shelter like a cave at all, so Zhang Jun decided to stop and stop going, because the more he walked, the more danger there became.
Fortunately, in this era, except for dinosaurs, there are no large carnivorous mammals, in this dense jungle, Zhang Jun's short body is easy to hide in the branches and weeds, with the help of trees, to escape the pursuit of large dinosaurs.
Zhang Jun has seen many science and education films about dinosaurs in his previous life, and he knows that dinosaurs were born in the late Triassic period of the Mesozoic Era, that is, a geological period before the Jurassic of the Mesozoic Era, and the Jurassic was followed by the Cretaceous.
The Jurassic and Cretaceous periods are the most prosperous geological ages for dinosaurs, and the number of dinosaurs in the Jurassic is more numerous, and the species are innumerable, estimated to be more than 1,000 species, but the dinosaur fossils found in later generations are only about 100 species.
According to the appearance of the group of diplodocus just now, Zhang Jun can basically judge that it should be in the late Jurassic period at this time, and the geological age is about 150 million years ago, which does not belong to the late Cretaceous era in which the Tyrannosaurus rex is located, but there are large carnivorous dinosaurs similar to the body of the Tyrannosaurus rex, and there are also a large number of famous herbivorous stegosaurs, and other huge dinosaurs and reptile monsters.
Zhang Jun liked to read time-traveling novels in his previous life, but the male protagonist in the book traveled through two thousand years at most, but this time he traveled to the prehistoric world of 100 million years ago, where he couldn't even find a figure, all of them were ancient monsters, and he immediately felt lonely and helpless.
"You can't go any further, if you run into a few monsters, you'll be in trouble." When Zhang Jun realized the potential danger, he immediately decided to stay in this dense forest.
There are some branches and trunks of trees here, which are very dense, the branches and leaves are intersected with each other, and the huge dinosaurs can't get in, so Zhang Jun decided to settle down in the nest nearby, first take refuge for a while, and get familiar with the environment.
Zhang Jun's problems are only food and water for the time being, and he has a total of about seventy fangs in his mouth, which is enough to tell himself that he belongs to the carnivorous dinosaur, and the branches and leaves in the forest are not attractive to him at this time, so predation has become a problem, and the water source problem can be solved by using dew and rain.
Zhang Jun's stomach was already rumbling with hunger at this time, he immediately had an urge to eat meat, and he wanted to eat bloody raw meat, his surname was immediately revealed, but he decided to do a good job of concealment first, and then go out to hunt, saving his life first is the most important thing, even if he is hungry for a few days, it doesn't matter.
Most carnivorous dinosaurs don't like to burrow, and Zhang Jun didn't plan to play the role of a pure carnivorous dinosaur, so he quickly found a relatively hidden dirt slope nearby, where the terrain was more than two or three meters above the ground, and began to dig a hole on the ground side below the soil slope.
The soil here is relatively hard and covered with low vegetation, but Zhang Jun has three knife-like blades on each of his front paws, about two or three inches long, which are easy to use to dig through the ground.
Under Zhang Jun's hard digging, he soon dug a cave more than two meters deep, he dug the hole very small, only allowing its body to enter and exit, and the hole was dug a little more spacious, the reason why he chose to be on the soil slope, because the terrain here is higher, and he is not worried about water accumulation in rainy days.
Then Zhang Jun walked around, found a cobblestone, the size of a basin, and immediately pushed the cobblestone with his claws to the vicinity of the cave entrance.
Zhang Jun left a small slope at the entrance of the cave, and after he got into the hole, the cobblestone slid along the slope, just blocking the hole, leaving only a small gap to observe the situation outside.
Then Zhang Jun thought of one more thing, that is, to find a recessed stone and put it near the entrance of the cave, so that when it rains, you can also catch some rainwater to drink, so that you don't have to venture out to find a water source often.
Soon Zhang Jun went out and found another stone, a piece of the stone was recessed in the center, which could barely be used as a container for storing water, so he placed it on the left side of the hole, and then drilled into the hole again to seal the hole.
Zhang Jun's hands and claws are not as flexible as his hands, and it is inconvenient to grasp objects, so he can only use his mouth instead of part of the functional labor of his hands, and then he began to use his hands and mouths together, tidying up the soil in the hole, bulldozing the ground, and finally completing a small project.
Zhang Jun also plans to continue digging holes, and also leave himself one or two exits to escape in case of emergency, but the exits must be concealed enough, otherwise it will increase the danger, and he plans to start construction after he is familiar with the surrounding environment.
After resting in the cave for a while, Zhang Jun was very hungry, so he pushed the stones at the entrance of the cave a little, leaving a gap a few inches wide, and began to squat at the entrance of the cave, carefully observing the distance.
Looking out from here, he could only see a few dozen meters away, because he chose a place with lush foliage, surrounded by large trees the thickness of the bowl, and some thorny weeds covered the vicinity of the cave entrance, and the large dinosaurs basically could not squeeze in, and could not enter this area to hunt.
Small carnivorous dinosaurs generally do not take the initiative to attack carnivorous dinosaurs, and Zhang Jun can scare off small carnivores by showing off his sharp teeth.
"In this area, it's up to me now." Zhang Jun stretched comfortably in the cave and sighed in his heart.
Zhang Jun estimated that the dense jungle he was in was about a few hundred zhang square, and then went outside was a relatively open boundary, where there were some tall trees, and the spacing between the trees was large, which could allow large dinosaurs to pass through, and the group of diplodocs just now was nearly thirty meters long, and they could also walk over, and there must be no problem with carnivorous dinosaurs, so Zhang Jun couldn't run too far, otherwise it was easy to encounter danger.
However, Zhang Jun soon found that he was not the only little dinosaur here, two or three of the dinosaurs born with him just now also ran to this area, and several of them passed by, as if they were looking for food.
It stands to reason that they have just been born and should have a mother to protect them, but Zhang Jun did not see a large dinosaur squatting nearby, guessing that the dinosaurs in their group may not take care of the cubs at all, and will not take care of the cubs like mammals, so they will leave the reading life.
So oviparous reptiles are won by the number of productions, unlike mammals, which produce fewer numbers, but the young can be carefully cared for and have a high survival rate.
