Chapter 16 Dinosaurs Making Tools?

Because there was no need to walk along the canyon on the return trip, Yang Gan, who left the top of the canyon, walked directly through the forest and walked straight towards the sea.

After a while, Yang Qian found that the range of activities of these tooth-wounded dragons was quite wide, and it seemed that the two types of food they were looking for could not satisfy all the same kind of people to eat.

When Yang Qian walked out along the hillside, he found some wounded tooth dragons, flexibly using their claws to catch some small insects in the dead wood to eat.

These are old and weak or young wounded tooth dragons, whether they go to the beach or dig in the mud, they can't do it, they can only find some small insects to eat.

To be honest, Yang Qian still admires the fact that the tooth-wounded dragons can think of so many ways to find food in the face of adversity.

Because of this, when he was in a hurry, he tried to avoid making too much noise himself, so as not to disturb these tooth-wounded dragons. I can't say admiration or anything else, in short, for these hungry little creatures, he thinks it's better not to disturb them.

But as he walked, he stopped, and then stared blankly at a dense forest on the side in front of him.

In that dense forest, there was a small group of Wounded Tooth Dragons who were busy.

They were all strong, scarred odontosaurs, apparently expanding the range of their own population.

If you want to expand your range of activities, you need to be aware of the ubiquitous spider silk in the forest.

And that's what they're doing.

The reason why Yang Qian was a little stunned was the way they knew the spider silk......

They are using sticks and branches to clear the spider silk.

A small group of about a dozen odontosaurs, each with a small stick or twig in their claws, lined up in the forest, and when they saw the spider silk, they used the tools in their claws to destroy the spider silk.

They are just roots and branches, they don't use torches, and they don't have enough strength to do this work together when they encounter dense spider silk.

A scarlet dragon wraps its silk around its larger roots, and when it finds that it can't pull it, it will chirp and call for its companions, and its companions near it will immediately drop their tools and help it pull sticks until the silk is broken.

Yang Qian had also seen the Wounded Tooth Dragons use tools before, such as when they were stealing eggs, sometimes when their claws could not break the eggshell, they would use stones to smash them; Including when they were just at the beach, the toothless dragons smashed clams and other hard-shelled creatures with stones.

But this is the first time I've seen a tool like this.

And their proficiency in using these tools was what really surprised Yang Gan.

"Chirp ......"

With a loud cry, all the Toothless Dragons stopped their work, then chirped and clucked, threw down the tools they had just used, and followed the leader who had made the first cry in the direction of the canyon.

Yang Qian was shocked to realize that it was almost dark.

"Chirp cluck...... Giggle chirp ......"

The crocodile demon who had been stopping not far away to watch the tools used by the Tooth Tooth Dragon was discovered, and these Tooth Tooth Dragons immediately panicked, let out a wild scream, and scattered in all directions.

Yang Qian watched them flee away, and slowly came to the place where they had just cleared the spider silk, and carefully observed the "tool" they had just used.

They are all ordinary small wooden sticks, of course, this small one is for the big crocodile demon, in fact, the wooden stick branches used by the toothless dragons are large enough for their size.

Judging by the broken ends of the sticks, as well as the small forks that have been removed from the sticks, these tools must have been specially made by the Toothylodons, not picked up randomly.

If you consider their attitude towards throwing these tools around, you can see that they are just as skilled at making these simple tools as they are at using them.

Just by using tools, Yang Qian doesn't feel anything, in the earth hundreds of millions of years later, many animals can use simple tools.

But the manufacturing tool, even if it was just a simple wooden stick, also surprised Yang Gan a little.

After looking at the tools used by the Tooth Wounded Dragon, Yang Qian's mood on the return trip was a little uneasy.

These odontosaurs go to the beach to pick up conch clams, work together to dig up mice, and use tools to clean up spider silk, and can express themselves in more complex sounds.

These behaviors, taken together, brought him a little too much shock.

The use of manufacturing tools must have been done in the era of apes, right?

And the ape-man is the ancestor of mankind.

Even if the claws of the tooth skew dragon are flexible, they can't compare to the hands of apes, after all, some things are born with them that are not so easy to change.

But what if they continue to live like this, in a few million years?

It doesn't even take that long, because the age of dinosaurs is much longer than that of ape-men.

Thinking about the same Tooth Tooth Dragon, those Tooth Tooth Dragons that live a good life are obviously not as good as the Tooth Injury Dragons here, Yang Qian suspects that if there is a more difficult environment, there may be some Tooth Injury Dragons, and more complex labor cooperation is being carried out.

A higher ability to make tools than the odontosaurus here, a more complete social surname, what would it be? Squatting in a cave and eating barbecue?

Dinosaur people?

When this word appeared in Yang Gan's mind, even Yang Gan himself was startled.

When Yang Gan returned to the temporary camp with a lot of heart all the way, the stars were already blinking all over the sky.

Before dawn the next day, Yang Gan went to the sea and caught a few big fish to eat, and dragged two more big fish to the shore and left them for the queen. As for what kind of fish it was, he didn't see it clearly, and he didn't even pay attention to whether it was a fish or not, so he just could eat it anyway.

Then he swam along the coast to the reef and mudflats where he had found the Toothless Dragons yesterday.

As he expected, when the tide was low in the early morning, more food would be left on the tidal flats, and the odontosaurs were so skilled that they could find fish, shrimp, crabs, and the like.

Yang Qian, who had watched for half a morning, then followed the toothed dragons and slipped to the place where they cleaned up the spider silk yesterday.

Today he made a new discovery, these odontosaurs used wooden sticks, not only to clean the spider silk directly with the stick, but also to use the wooden fork on the stick to hook some of the higher spider silk.

Now, for example, there is a tooth-wounded dragon hanging from a stick, chirping.

It just jumped up and hooked the spider silk with a wooden stick, but it hooked the spider silk, pulled it constantly, and was hanging in the air and dangling!

"Chirp cluck......"

The other Toothless Dragons did not immediately come up to save it as Yang Qian had imagined, but chirped at it beside it.

And another Wounded Tooth Dragon ran over, and also jumped up and hooked the spider silk with his stick, but it didn't hang up, but a Wounded Tooth Dragon behind it hung up.

It seems that they are taking this as a game, and they are having a lot of fun.

When the third Tooth Breaker tried to hang on, the silk finally broke off, and all the Toothless Dragons fell.

"Chirp ......"

The Toothed Dragon, which had fallen and was fighting, immediately stopped playing after hearing the leader's voice and began to clean up the spider silk again.

At high tide in the evening, the odontosaurs went to the beach again to collect food.

If there is enough food, these young and strong toothed dragons don't need to forage for food every day, and they can eat a big meal for a few days. Obviously, the little ones who live here are estimated to have rarely really eaten enough.

Fortunately, this is the Cretaceous period, and the moon at this time should not be as far away from the earth as it was hundreds of millions of years later, so correspondingly, the high and low tides here are very large.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that these tooth-wounded dragons will not even have the current amount of food to obtain.

When Yang Gan, who had been observing for a day, returned to the temporary camp, he began to think crankily in his heart.

On the third day, Yang Qian was still like this.

I set out early in the morning and didn't return until dark.

On this day, Yang Qian even found a particularly old toothed dragon, which actually completely changed his food surname and was gnawing something similar to pine nuts and hazelnuts.

The Cretaceous angiosperms were in their flourishing period, so it would have been easy for the Woundodontosaurs to find some edible seeds.

The question is, can they eat it and digest it?

Yang Qian felt that it was estimated that it was possible, if their food sources could only be obtained by this way, in the future, the ethnic group would become larger and larger, and the food would become more and more insufficient, and it would not be uncommon to eat seeds at that time.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that they can eat and digest these things.

On the fourth day, Yang Gan, who had completely turned into a voyeur crocodile, got up early again, but found that the queen also got up early today.

It took a lot of effort for Yang Qian to "convince" it to let it stay in the camp.

As a result, when he came back in the evening, Yang Qian found that there were several seabirds pecking at the seashore where he had put his food, and the little flying dragon was constantly driving away these seabirds.

It's a pity that its future airlord is now about to be completely destroyed in the clutches of the predators, and various recipes change every day to make it eat fat and fat, and its little short wings flap back and forth, and it can't help these birds at all.

Just by glancing at those foods, Yang Qian knew that it must be that the queen did not eat it.

It seems that my training strategy is very successful! Now the queen has more and more tantrums and awkward situations!

So Yang Qian took out the skill of coaxing his little girlfriend to go home with him, and coaxed the queen to eat the food.

The downside of this is that the next day, the voyeur crocodile, who has been celibate, has another companion.

In fact, after Yang Gan found a good place to "peep" on land, he found that he had two more companions - Xiaoqing, who had never been too busy, also followed.

Fortunately, Yang Qian has already made a decision, and he is ready to end this "voyeuristic" life.

So, when the odontosaurs came to the reef and tidal flat in search of food in the early morning of another day, they found that there was a monster much larger than themselves on the shore of the tidal flat.

This monster is much larger than them, but it is similar in appearance.

This is not the main reason for the attraction of the Toothless Dragons.

Their eyes were attracted by something beside the monster.

It was a big dead fish, a big big fish.
