Chapter 67: Devil Frog Literature
The Abyss Group where the Devil Frog is located lives up to its name, and I can tell you about other ancient creatures that are also in the Abyss Group.
The devil frog and the Tyrannosaurus rex, the large-faced ankylosaurus, and the triceratops are basically the world's top carnivorous and herbivores.
There is the largest flying creature in the sky since the formation of the planet: the Aeolus pterosaur
There are overlord-level dragons in the sea.
Abyss difficulty no joke.
The first fossil of the devil frog actually consisted of two legs, a thigh, a calf, and an incomplete length of metacarpals.
Because the bones are intertwined and messy during the formation of fossils, paleontologists will not recognize what it is for a while, and they will hold the 5-meter-long thigh bone and look at it for a long time, thinking that it is a prehistoric giant.
It wasn't until the two-legged fossils were cleaned up that it was known that it might be an oversized frog.
"5 meter frog thigh, tsk."
Thinking of spicy bullfrogs and other dishes, Yu Xian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Who can withstand this?
5 meters is just the thigh of the devil frog, and the length of the calf + paw is longer.
Considering that the Tyrannosaurus rex can grow up to 14 meters, the devil frog should indeed be larger.
Legs with a total length of more than 10 meters are difficult to move even when folded.
The reason why today's frogs can burst out with several times more jumping power than humans of the same size is mainly because of their small size and light skeleton.
If the frog is enlarged to the size of a human, the original muscle proportions are simply not enough.
Yu Xian continued to look through the follow-up papers, and gradually felt that something was wrong.
Since the first pair of devil frog leg bones, no new devil frog fossils have been found in the paleontological circle for two or three months.
Too few, as apex predators, fossils are not so few.
The reason explained by scholars is that the devil frog has frog-like characteristics, large meat and thin bones, and is not easy to preserve as fossils.
"Makes sense, but it's still too little..."
According to Yu Xian's estimate, one thing descends one thing, there should be some dinosaur that suppressed the devil frog, otherwise there should be more fossils of such a strong man who preyed on Tyrannosaurus rex.
Two and a half months after the first discovery of the devil's frog leg bone, paleontologists have found more complete fossils in the Abyss Formation.
The completeness of this time is quite amazing, and even contains soft tissue marks such as skin.
Looking at the fossil photos, the fat devil frog has a sharp silhouette and a monarch Tyrannosaurus rex wrapped around its abdominal cavity.
Such a group of discoveries contributed 77% of the integrity of the devil frog fossil and 70% of the integrity of the Tyrannosaurus rex fossil in one go.
With such a complete sample, paleontologists analyzed the movement pattern of the devil frog.
Their jumping ability was definitely weaker than that of the current frogs, after all, with their weight clearly displayed, they should be more inclined to the mobility of toads, mainly crawling, short burst jumps.
"Hmm... The speed value is average.,It comes with the meaning of a displacement skill.ใ โ
The way devil frogs hunt is with their tongues.
Unlike modern frogs, which stick to bugs with their tongues, the devil frog's tongue can strangle its prey like a python.
The tongue of a frog is many times longer than its body, and the tongue of a devil frog is more robust and short, and it is about the same length when turned out.
That's almost 20 meters away...
Violently rushed, the thick tongue twisted the neck of the Tyrannosaurus rex, and no matter how strong the bite force of the Tyrannosaurus rex was, it could not bite the part that was entangled.
It's like a necklace that humans can't bite on their necks.
Humans had hands, and the forelimbs of the Tyrannosaurus rex were notoriously "small hands".
With a body size of more than ten meters, the forelimbs of less than one meter can't even touch their chins, and the strength of their forelimbs can't wrestle with the tongue of the devil frog.
Strangling the prey and devouring it is the hunting method that the devil frog is best at.
The loose oral cartilage can also open its mouth like a snake and swallow huge prey.
Eat a full meal and lie flat for a month.
Thanks to this, the Tyrannosaurus rex was not hunted on a large scale.
Looking at the new research, a devil frog and an ankylosaurus died together.
The tongue strangled the ankylosaurus, and the devil frog devoured it, but the hard shell and tail hammer of the ankylosaurus could not be digested at all, so they could only spit it out.
Modern frogs can turn their stomachs out and clean after eating something wrong;
The devil frog did not have this skill, and was stuck in the abdomen by the armor of the ankylosaurus, resulting in death.
"Good guy, the ankylosaurus and the devil frog died together, and the combat effectiveness was equal, which means that the ankylosaurus also beat the Tyrannosaurus rex, right? The marketing account is honest and I don't deceive. โ
ridiculed two sentences, Yu Xian had a more detailed understanding of the devil frog.
It's late at night, so I wake up from sleep and continue to watch the next day.
Not only are there devil frogs in the Abyss Formation, paleontologists have also discovered early devil frogs on the continent where Tianyi Country is located.
The appearance of the devil frog during the Jurassic period has not changed, but it is smaller.
This fossil is a devil frog swallowing a juvenile Stegosaurus, which is worse than the Ankylosaurus.
In the process of strangling the stegosaurus, the devil frog was disemboweled from the inside by the sharp blade and tail thorn on the back of the stegosaurus, and died of massive bleeding.
It took four days for Yu Xian to read the final paper and breathe a long sigh of relief.
66% of Soul Power Left
Soul power is really much more durable than before.
Today is also from the morning to see the sunset, in the middle of the notes and thinking, only consumed thirty percent.
As Yu Xian used the power of the bloodline, the Dragon Quest Atlas to participate in battles and various life and death tests, the specific value of soul power increased, but it was still displayed as a percentage.
Through the gaps between the crowded buildings in the old neighborhood, you can see the half-shaded sunset in the distance, and digest the specific information of the devil frog in your idle mind.
It's strong, but it's not good for carapace-grown, spiky food.
Moreover, the devil frog cannot go to the sea, and the reason why it is distributed on different continents is because some continents have not been separated in ancient times, and there are also reasons why the sea level has decreased and land bridges have been formed.
In the end, including the Beifu Research Institute and the top universities, there are many scholars who put forward similar speculations to Yu Xian.
There must be something else that overwhelms the devil frog, otherwise it would be invincible as long as it avoids eating dangerous armored dinosaurs.
What's the devil frog suppressed... Everything is unknown, just waiting for paleontologists to decipher it.
"Hmm~~~"
Yu Xian stretched his waist and was relaxed.
Wu Qianshan has been taught a lesson, and the paper on the fossil of the Strange Pterodactyl has been published normally.
Two months later, "Historical Hook and Shen" and "Tianyi Museum" will also publish the results of the long-armed Hun Yuan Dragon.
gradually became a bit famous in the academic circle, and his life was high-spirited.
"That's life."
[The world is so big, there are no wonders]
"Poofโ"
I didn't hold a sip of tea, and was sprayed far away by Yu Xian, and there was a scolding sound downstairs.
"What's going on upstairs?! The water is splashing, is there a sense of public morality! โ
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
