I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 675 Were they also dominated by the 'Horror Upright Ape'?
On the other side, Yue'er, who was stationed at the entrance of the cave, was still paying attention to Lin Yang's physical signs and the operation status of the diving equipment.

Although the black technology diving suit provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences can enable him to complete a longer period of operation and exploration with the smallest body burden in the following diving process.

However, the operating diving time of diving equipment is not unlimited.

What Lin Yang has discovered now, including underground rivers and the remains of ancient Mayan civilization, and related relics such as golden masks and rusted utensils, including the bone fossils of ancient giant beasts that appear in the live broadcast room, all need to be further explored.

So if you think about it with your feet, you know that Lin Yang will have to stay in this water for a long time.

How to ensure that the diving time can meet his next exploration and shooting under the most efficient premise is a very important issue to consider

This will be directly related to the personal safety of Lin Yang, who is diving deep into the underwater cave in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Under the attention of tens of millions of water lovers around the world, Lin Yang's exploration of underwater caves in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico is still going on.

【Shock!Surprising Discovery of an Underwater Cave!The wonderful journey of the Oriental outdoor anchor! 】

[The habitat of the suspected ancient giant beast has been discovered!shock the world! 】

[The secret hidden in the underwater cave of the Yucatan Peninsula is revealed for the first time! 】

【Heavy!What kind of ancient behemoth is buried here? 】

Such self-media marketing accounts are endlessly shocking on the Internet.

Lin Yang photographed successively the interior space he discovered in the underwater cave system of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

It also stirred up thousands of layers in the online world all of a sudden.

The attention it has attracted is unprecedentedly high, and such self-media and marketing accounts, and the titles of the articles that make people laugh and cry, have sprung up on the Internet like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Even so, the popularity of these hyped marketing accounts is far less than the professional evaluation of the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Because the institutes of geology and paleontology in various countries have obtained preliminary results after analyzing the skeletons of ancient giant beasts photographed by Lin Yang and their models.

Therefore, after the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a social commentary, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens!
[Our research institute has compared the bones of the ancient giant beast discovered by Comrade Lin Yang in the underwater cave of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. After modeling and comparing the external dimensions and related data, it is preliminarily determined that this creature is likely to have been updated The world's extinct 'sloth'! 】

[This kind of creature can walk upright with two feet, and its height can reach 6-7 meters, and its weight is about 5 tons. Of course, this is only the result of preliminary comparison. If you can get a sample of bone fossils for specific information, you can conduct more detailed research. Research, the results will be more accurate!In addition, I hope Comrade Lin Yang can return safely! 】

After making a preliminary evaluation of Lin Yang's new discovery, the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences did not forget to tell him to pay attention to safety.

Perhaps the research institutes in various countries around the world only pay attention to how the things discovered by Lin Yang shocked the world, but the relevant institutions in Longguo pay more attention to proving and protecting the personal safety of explorers.

Perhaps in the eyes of the western media, Lin Yang is called a legendary eastern anchor, but the only ones who really care about his personal safety are the research institutes in his own country.

All of a sudden, the audience in the live broadcast room was full of curiosity, and almost collectively turned into curious babies!

"Great sloth? What kind of thing is it?"

"The height can reach 6-7 meters, which means it is as tall as a two-story building!"

"My God! It's hard to imagine that if such a giant beast lived in modern times, it would be able to kick polar bears and punch brown bears!"

"Although I don't know much about this kind of creature, according to my superficial knowledge, they seem to be vegetarian, so they shouldn't have too much fighting power, right?"

"I remember recording the image of the prairie sloth in a well-known tomb-robbing novel!"

Actually.

The giant ground sloth mentioned by the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also has an alias called 'big sloth'.

It is the largest ground sloth ever recorded, lived in the Pleistocene Epoch, which has been very long so far, and has indeed spread throughout Central and South America.

The area Lin Yang is currently exploring is located in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, which is exactly the South American area.

At least geographically speaking, it is very logical to find ancient fossils of giant ground sloths in this place.

This behemoth can walk on two legs, and feeds on plants in the forest and grassland. Their forelimbs are very large, and their hind legs are relatively short, but not small.

According to the recorded paleontological research results, the giant ground sloth is one of the largest mammals living on the South American continent, and can reach a height of 6-7 meters, which undoubtedly shows that they are very huge beasts.

If it is said that the giant ground sloth is not well known, then the 'Sabretooth', which lived in the same period as it, is relatively more famous.

But even so, in the distant Pleistocene, even the saber-toothed tiger would shy away from this huge ground sloth.

In a sense, adult giant ground sloths have no natural enemies.

There is no doubt that the audience in the live broadcast room are full of curiosity about the ancient creatures mentioned by the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Great sloths? That sounds powerful? So they're just gentle, vegetarian animals?"

"Actually, anyway, this kind of creature has been extinct tens of thousands of years ago, and their temperament is actually not important."

"It's hard to imagine that they are several meters tall and are almost the same as the larger dinosaurs. Of course, they are not animals of the same era as dinosaurs!"

"I know the Tyrannosaurus saber-toothed tiger! It is a very ferocious beast. They are huge monsters that are daunting. I think the ground sloth is quite powerful!"

"I always thought that this ancient creature was called an earth tata, an otter like a water tata, but I didn't expect it to be lazy."

"If this thing lives now, it should be as delicious as beef, right qaq."

"The foodies are completely hopeless. They have been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and they still think about the quality of their meat."

"That is, won't your conscience hurt?"

the other side.

Yue'er, who was stationed at the entrance of the underwater cave, glanced at the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, and said with a smile: "If the analysis and judgment of the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are correct, the giant ground sloth they mentioned is indeed lan. Rather than an otter-like ta."

At least in Yue'er's view, this issue still needs to be popularized.

In the cognition of creatures such as giant ground sloths, because of the existence of otters in the real world, they are often pronounced as land ta by characters, which is wrong.

The giant ground sloth mentioned by the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences before, also has a nickname called a giant sloth, which lived in the American continent in the Pleistocene.

According to animal taxonomy, it belongs to Chordate Phylum, Mammalia, Dendrites, Cottonia, and Geoslothidae.

Because of the need to obtain leaves from trees as food, the giant ground sloth has the ability to stand on two feet. After all, if you don't stand up, there is no way to obtain relatively tall leaves.

"It looks very big just from the name, the giant ground sloth and the sloth should be related!"

"I have read reports before that biologists believe that the two-toed sloths living in the world are somewhat related to the giant ground sloths, but the two are not in the same family at all, so they can be regarded as distant relatives."

"Then the question is, how long ago was the Pleistocene? I don't know anything about the history of the earth, I only know the Jurassic period"

"The Pleistocene should be one of the epochs closer to human beings, and I'm not too sure."

"Ice Age? Mammoths also survived in this era?"

Actually.

The Pleistocene, also known as the 'Pluvial Epoch', belongs to the early period of the 'Quaternary' in the geological age, starting about 180 million years ago and ending about 1 years ago.

Compared with the species surviving in the world today, whether it is plants or animals, most of them are very similar to modern times.

The significant changes in climate and the obvious alternation of ice ages made this era colder.

Humans appeared in the Pleistocene. Some paleontologists even believe that the extinction of ancient creatures such as giant ground sloths, like mammoths, seems to be inseparable from the large-scale activities of humans.

In cold and extreme environments, animals that can adapt to this type of climate live relatively moist lives.

Creatures such as mammoths, camels and horses and giant beavers, wolves and short-faced bears, these animals lived in Asia, Europe and the American continents throughout the Ice Age.

According to the speculation and calculations of paleoanthropologists, in the late Pleistocene, that is, about 2 years ago, modern humans finally officially entered the Americas through the Bering Strait.

The emergence of human beings, as hunters at the top of the food chain, has become the driving force behind the acceleration of the extinction of these ancient creatures in an already extreme environment.

In the footage of Lin Yang's live broadcast room, what is recorded is the bone fossil of a giant ground sloth that has been lying quietly here for tens of thousands of years
There is no doubt that it was something that all the audience who followed Lin Yang did not expect.

In the closed space of the underwater cave in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, because of the appearance of the building that resembled the pyramid of the Mayan civilization before, coupled with the gold masks and rusted utensils that were discovered successively, everyone thought that at least in Lin Yang In the footage, you should be able to find traces of the Mayans living here.

However, this is not the case.

What appeared in Lin Yang's first-person perspective lens was not the skeleton of an ancient human being, but the giant bone fossil that proved to be a giant ground sloth!

After all, most of the sand sculpture netizens in the live broadcast room still have relatively little knowledge of this extinct ancient creature.

If it weren't for Yue'er's previous wave of science popularization, many people would still call the giant ground sloth a big ground ta.

Lin Yang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke at this moment.

"I think the preliminary judgment of the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is correct. Regardless of the physique and characteristics of this ancient giant beast, they are indeed very similar to the giant ground sloth, except for these huge extinct ancient fossils. , there will be many more discoveries in this underwater area."

Anyway, because of the black-tech diving equipment sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after arriving in South America, Lin Yang can travel lightly and enter this area that has never been explored by modern humans.

There is an old saying in Longguo called "everyone has come".

Now that everyone has come, Lin Yang will definitely use full efficiency to explore and understand this unexplored mysterious area.

"If we follow the timeline of the extinction of the giant ground sloth and the time point of the emergence of humans, then in a relatively long time, humans may still meet the giant ground sloth?"

"That's not true. Unlike huge creatures such as dinosaurs, humans hadn't appeared at that time, but during the Pleistocene, people had already begun to migrate and develop."

"In other words, if human beings have recorded civilizations, if we push forward 1 years, there may still be descriptions of giant ground sloths!"

"At this time, we must not invite our Dragon Kingdom's 'Shan Hai Jing'!"

"Sorry, there doesn't seem to be any record of similar giant ground sloths in the Book of Mountains and Seas."

"So can I understand that, many, many years ago, before the giant ground sloth became extinct, they were also dominated by the 'horrible erect ape'?"

the other side.

Lin Yang, who was underwater, had stopped cleaning up the mud at this moment.

On the one hand, the entire appearance of the huge bone fossil has been relatively completely recorded at present, and based on the modeling comparison of the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Academy of Chemical Sciences, it is preliminarily determined that this bone fossil should be a giant ground sloth.

Anyway, the complete bone fossils of giant ground sloths have been discovered in the paleontological research community.

Therefore, it is not too complicated technically to determine what kind of animal this bone fossil came from.

Even through the screen of the live broadcast room, the audience seemed to be able to feel that Lin Yang would not waste too much time on these two sloth fossils.

on the other hand.

Although the underwater sediment is very loose, it still takes a certain amount of energy to clean it up.

The current Lin Yang naturally hopes to save his physical strength more and more. Only in this way can he ensure that he can return safely in the next underwater exploration process.

At this time, Yueer, who was stationed at the entrance of the underwater cave, smiled and said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Actually, regarding the ancient animal such as the giant ground sloth, Xiao Yang told me a very interesting biological research before." result."

Undoubtedly, Yue'er's words aroused the strong curiosity of sand sculpture netizens in the live broadcast room.

"Sister Yue'er, what are you talking about? People hate people who only talk in half!"

"Hurry up and tell us what interesting scientific research results it is! Otherwise, I'm going to be angry! The kind that can't be coaxed well!"

"I only care about now, how will the anchor plan to continue exploring the surroundings of the Mayan underwater pyramid, or go back and continue exploring the caves of the Yucatan Peninsula?"

"The anchor naturally has his own plans, and the anchor is notorious for his plans."

"Yes, if you don't have a strong planning ability, it is impossible for you to sail at sea for such a long time without any problems with your itinerary."
