Gulu couldn't eat much for many days. He drooled when he was hungry. A string of clear saliva flowed out of his mouth from time to time. He was really hungry.
Gaya was so anxious that she couldn't sleep every day. She went everywhere to find various ferns and plant leaves for Gulu, but Gulu still didn't like to eat them.
Gulu's mouth felt very bitter. He wanted to eat fruits, apples, grapes, pineapples … everything that tasted sweet.
But there were no fruits at all during the Cretaceous period.
Although angiosperms appeared in large quantities in the late Cretaceous period, they were still quite different from today's plant system, most notably the absence of edible seeds and fruits. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
If he really needed to eat fruits to cure this disease, Gulu thought he would definitely starve to death.
Until the evening of the sixth day and the sunset clouds covered the sky, Mungo came back with some green branches that appeared to have small black berries on them.
Mungo had just approached the nest when Gulu already smelled the sweet scent in the air.
Gulu looked up at Mungo. The fire clouds were blooming in the sky, and Mungo was shining with dazzling golden light.
At this moment, in Gulu's eyes, Mungo was the archangel descending into the world!
The branch fell into the nest and Gulu jumped at it immediately.
After eating a berry, Gulu said: Wow, it's so sweet, a lot of fruit juice, so sweet. Oh, my God, this is a fairy berry! Much better than modern fruits!
Gulu looked for berries one by one, and the corners of his mouth were covered with purple pulp.
Gudong and Guji watched their brother eat so sweetly. They had never eaten berries. They had never even seen them. The two also hurried to look for berries like Gulu, but they vomited after eating only one. They felt very bad. Meat was still the best food to eat!
Mungo was lying on the edge of the nest looking at Gulu.
Gulu turned to Mungo after being full. He was so excited that he couldn't help jumping up and gave Mungo a big kiss. The pulp on the corners of his mouth spread all over Mungo's mouth.
Mungo was also curious about how delicious this berry was and stuck out his tongue to lick the pulp on the corners of his mouth. Mmm … it was not as delicious as meat.
Gulu: "Mungo, how do you know I like this? How kind of you!"
Mungo wouldn't tell Gulu that he secretly observed Triceratops for many days and found that cubs about the same size as Gulu there also had anorexia during this period. Triceratops' parents fed this berry for their cubs.
Of course Mungo wouldn't know that Triceratops cubs must eat berries to digest more leaves and ferns when they grew to 2-3 months. Triceratops would grow very large in the future and need a stomach with very strong digestion.
Triceratops all knew that cubs must eat berries at this age, but Tyrannosaurus rex didn't know the details of raising these cubs.
If Mungo hadn't observed Triceratops and found these berries, Gulu would soon die from hunger and malnutrition.
After eating these berries, Gulu was able to taste ferns and leaves again. His appetite improved to better than before. Gaya was very happy.
The next day Mungo brought back a red berry, sour and sweet. Yesterday's black berry was very sweet. Today's berry is a little sour, enough to adjust the taste.
