Chapter 3 - protoceratops peril

6 months later It has been six months after the creation of the protoceratops brood as and Carlos was not hard at work he was flipping pancakes while pouring apple juice and after eating his hearty breakfast he walked into the lab section of his home and noticed a protoceratops started to break out of its egg immediately he put the eggs in an large bowl he had laying around from a late night bowl of cereal and placed it outside in the sun as the eggs cracked one by one the first one to come out was an male protoceratops you could tell because male protoceratops have bigger crests and small horns on the sides of their mouths.

(let's be real protoceratops is iconic because it is probably the first herbivore to genuinely fight back against the predator truly an herd oriented speices)

As all of them hatched there was 3 females and 2 males and actually surprisingly enough he actually had The perfect names for the male specimens bull and Buck bull By a large amount was slightly bigger than his brother while buck was in all constellation a complete runt his sister's were bigger than him but that didn't Matter as long as they survived long enough into adulthood it would be fine speaking of adulthood he should probably upload their data to the ecological pad as he pulled out a weird holographic iPad it's scanned the protoceratops and gave him accurate information in return.

E.P:«uploading data to ecological pad(E.P) producing accurate data…

Diet:herbivorous

dry bush

Wild blackberries

Lichen/moss

Mushrooms(actual favorite is honey mushrooms but aren't picky either)

Secondary diet:insectivore

Favorite:

Ants/termites

Grubs

Truffle

Watermelon

Cucumber

Apple

Estimated length:1.8 meters

Estimated height:2.2 meters

Estimated life span:16 years(reach sexual growth at 6 years old)

Gentic traits:

Warm blooded:protoceratops we're more suited for hot and dry environments like mesa or desert

Timid:protoceratops is one of the few prehistoric creatures that was believed to be easily spooked and would rather avoid a predator than fight unless their spawn or mate is in danger

Warning…. Area scans revealed this area is not suitable for the species commencing genetic override and adaptation

Given adaptation includes

«gene mutation:survivalist allowing the protoceratops to adapt to both humid and slightly wet climates»

«Gene mutation:mental capability increase in order to survive in this transformed earth protoceratops has been given an enlargement to its neuron capacity going from 200,000 to 500,000»

Suitable environment located on death island grand mesa has been found and has been marked as a migratory root after turning 6 years protoceratops shall migrate to the mesa as an breeding ground»

After getting surprisingly clean information Carlos returned inside of his home grabbing a bunch of leaves and ferns with some blackberries he and in a container and mixing them up in the blender into an simulated chewed up/Regurgitated mix of food as he poured it into an dog tray and placed it infront of the protoceratops all of them rushed forward eagerly trying to get a bite as they swarmed the food Carlos went back into his house to make himself lunch.

(if you're wondering why the ecological iPad has the ability to change genetics it was created by the goddess therefore it has a net work connected to her that send her information and it sent back information while she simultaneously changes the genetics of the given information of the creature if that confuse you then I'm sorry)

As Carlos was eating his lunch in egg sandwich with mayonnaise and mustard while watching the protoceratops played soon the night over took the day as fog started to roll in an rain started pouring down the baby protoceratops started scatter as lightning struck somewhere in the distant immediately he used the eco-pad proceeding to mimic an protoceratops call causing them to run under the porch and huddle together to go to sleep ending off the joyful day all night of rest and relaxation.
