4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 309
Lifestyle?
This is a relatively big problem. As the skeletal dragons dragged a prey called moth goose dragon and celebrated while walking towards the nest, Lin was thinking about this problem.
Skeletons are basically like this. They live in one place and move to another place when they find that there are fewer prey. The way of living is not fixed. They do not run casually, but there are several fixed places, but no matter what , Their life is not very safe. Although the brain is relatively large, the life of the skeletal dragon is always spent in avoiding predators and looking for food. It is not as idle as the brain of the divisional species. Time to think.
It is necessary to let the Skeletal Dragon settle down, which requires a stable source of food ...
If long-term expectation is in one place, it will obviously cause the surrounding resources to slowly thirst. If you want to live for a long time, there are many ways. In short, you must keep the resources growing continuously ...
Planting or raising other organisms are common methods. The Inca worms and headworms are similar in this way. In fact, they are not the only ones. Some small divisional species will be bred, but the division of the species When inactive, you can enter a sleeping state, and the energy consumption is extremely low. For example, a feeding pit with a diameter of more than 30 meters in the Inca swarm can provide enough energy for the insects in the three home trees.
They only consume more energy when fighting, and the endless vast jungle around them is to temporarily provide energy for them.
The skeletal dragon seems unlikely to do so, and there are many problems with simple breeding or planting, mainly because of the need for open fields, which will squeeze out the living quarters of other creatures, and in the end, will leave only a large area. The creatures they planted are like the Aztec forest of Aztecs.
Lin does not want to educate such species, so they need a better lifestyle.
Planting is usually cultivating plants. Harvesting plants at a certain time is fixed. Although it can also be used as a long-term food source, it is more troublesome. There is no cooperation between plants and growers. It is more like a kind of enslavement. Relationship……
There is a better way to be more effective than general planting, and you can always get food, for example ... a symbiotic relationship.
Symbiosis is a very wonderful relationship ... Generally speaking, it should be achieved when two species live together, and then both parties happen to find that the other party can give their own benefits. Some plants that symbiotic with organisms will grow specific structures. 'Return' this creature, and the creature will also do the cleaning up of the enemy for the plant, which is probably the most common symbiosis.
Lin thinks that the skeletal dragon can reach symbiosis with a certain plant, which is much more efficient than planting. The planted plant can only be obtained regularly, and the symbiotic plant can always provide food.
And both sides need to take care of plants, obviously symbiosis is better, and even can evolve with plants ...
Of course, it is not easy to reach a symbiotic relationship with a plant. It may take quite a long time, and may even take tens of hundreds of years. This is too long for the skeletal dragon, so a faster method is needed.
Actually, that's pretty simple ...
It doesn't need to be with the plants for a long time, but just do one thing, look for some plants that have already symbiotic with an animal, and then let the skeletal dragon replace that animal.
It ’s not about letting them exterminate this animal, it ’s just about letting them take a few of them to use. Lin thinks that if the skeletal dragon can do everything the symbiotic animals inside can do, the plants will also provide them. Food.
Lin can also play the role of this plant by herself, but Lin does not want to do this.
It was time to eat. Several skeletal dragons went to the edge of the grass to gather salt, and the remaining skeletal dragons gathered by the lake, cutting this goose dragon weighing more than a ton.
This was the most abundant meal they had hunted since they came here. Tucker often used the creator of the last blow to let the skeletal dragons agree, but Lynn did not join them, but flew to the sky to see if there were similar plants. ...
There are many symbiotic plants in this place. At least Lin has seen it in the jungle before. Lin wants to find a more perfect plant. For example, its large size can not only provide food for the dragon, but also provide a place to live. I do n’t know what will happen in winter, will it snow?Or will something else happen?But the moon should have no effect on this place, if the symbiotic plant can continue to grow in winter ...
It seems that the requirements are too high ... this kind of "perfect" plant may not be easy to find, it should be easier to find if you provide food alone.
The food provided by the plants should not fully satisfy the skeletal dragons, but at least they do not always have to hunt for hunting, they will not leave soon, and they will have more time to think.
In addition to obtaining food, Skeleton also has to learn to store food. Skeleton usually makes dried jerky, but only when they are traveling, they usually eat their prey and then wait for the next hunting, Lin I think they should store some food, even if only one piece of meat is stored at a time, it will gradually increase little by little.
Creatures usually only like to store food before the emergency. It is true that there are not many foods that are stored when the food is rich. However, some creatures have this habit, which can deal with various situations.
But now ... first find symbiotic plants.
Lynn's pom-poms are spinning around on the high grass. The following Tucker and several skeletal dragons are looking at this with some worry, but they will not restrict the activities of the pom-poms.
There are tall trees on the grass, and the pompon flew towards the nearest tree.
This tree is very thick, about three meters in diameter, but very short, only six meters high. The pompon pierces a tentacle into the bark and observes the structure inside.
The structure of this tree is like a common plant. It seems to have no symbiotic species, and it is highly toxic and completely unsuitable.
Lin continued to search slowly on the tall grass. There are not only tall grass, but also many plants mixed in it, but most of them are too small, even if there are symbiotic species.
There are quite a lot of plant species here, and it is estimated that there is a certain relationship with phytoplankton. Lin strolled here for hundreds of seconds and saw more than 100 kinds of plants and dozens of small phytoplankton. The species here are really quite The richness ...
Finally, because I couldn't find any suitable target on the grass ... Lynn's pom-poms looked in the direction of the jungle.
When she saw the jungle, Lin noticed a plant ...
This is it!
