00:00Alright, we're walking into the coolest part of the Natural History Museum, all the dinosaurs, dinosaur exhibit.
00:19It's 30% real fossil.
00:22This one is?
00:23Yeah.
00:24So is it 30% they need to make it official?
00:34Look at the toes.
00:36And these fossils were found in New Mexico.
00:42The backbone, the neck, one leg, and it looks like the pelvis.
00:48It looks like it's this leg right here, I don't know.
00:52Yeah, that's the real one.
00:53Oh, it shows you.
00:55Oh, okay.
00:56It's three parts.
01:02Yeah, I don't know, it just looks more like a real bone.
01:07Can you guys tell?
01:09Yeah, you guys can tell.
01:14Just a subtle difference.
01:18Okay, wait, wait.
01:20How am I supposed to guess?
01:22Guess what they ate.
01:24Oh, okay.
01:25So mammoths.
01:28Ate grass.
01:29I knew that one, because I just read it.
01:32Well, how do you know if it's right?
01:34Because look.
01:35More than one.
01:36I put mammoth and then grass.
01:38Did it show you?
01:39Is it correct?
01:42Yeah, look.
01:43Mammoth, grass.
01:44Oh, it popped up, okay.
01:46So, a mastodon ate variety?
01:52Nope.
01:53Wait, wait, what's a mastodon?
01:55I don't know.
01:57Did we see that one in here?
01:59Maybe not yet.
02:00I forgot what a mastodon was.
02:02A shrew ate twigs and leaves?
02:06Well, maybe look at his, we should go to the mastodon.
02:09Or shrew ate variety?
02:10Let's see if what he ate, twigs and leaves?
02:12He did, oh look.
02:13It's kind of like a dinosaur.
02:16Oh, the mastodon, now I remember.
02:19Okay, so now we got the shrew.
02:21Shrew?
02:22I'm going to say insects.
02:24Insects?
02:25You're right.
02:26You're right.
02:27It's an animal, ate insects and worms.
02:31Okay, sagebrush vole.
02:35I'm going to say variety.
02:37What do you think?
02:38Yeah, vole.
02:39Nope.
02:41Grass.
02:46Oh, I didn't even know what it was.
02:47It's another mouse.
02:49Uh, a dinosaur.
02:51I'm going to say a meat.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Okay.
02:54It's a modern timber wolf.
02:56And we eat...
02:57Uh, variety.
02:59Well, soon they want us to be eating insects.
03:04That was fun.
03:08What's these ones?
03:09Oh, here's the dire wolf right here.
03:14They're actual...
03:17They actually look like dogs of some type.
03:20Yeah, they were wolves.
03:23They were like modern wolves.
03:28Oh, look at this one.
03:29It shows how they ate.
03:32This is how they ate with their teeth.
03:34Oh yeah, like a horse.
03:36Uh huh.
03:37Or a cow.
03:38This is how carnivores eat.
03:39Where they...
03:40Up and down.
03:41Like chomping.
03:43Cougar.
03:45And this was like...
03:48A horse.
03:50Cool.
03:51These are horse teeth?
03:53Wow.
03:54Cheek.
03:55Cheek teeth.
03:57Yeah, these teeth over here and the cheeks.
04:00Oh, it's the wet cave.
04:03Yeah, we have to...
04:05We have to get Carl's bag.
04:08Let's go.
04:09Let's go see if we can find...
04:11Can we get a chair?
04:13Yeah.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Yeah.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Yeah.
04:19Yeah.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Yeah.
04:23Let's go.
04:26Let's go see if we can find...
04:28Can we get a chair?
04:30Get over there.
04:31Oh, look at the...
04:32What do you like to do?
04:33Like a wishing well?
04:34Let's go back over to the dinosaurs.
04:38Bats.
04:40We'll learn a lot about bats.
04:42We'll go to Carl's bag and...
04:45Learn about it there.
05:02I know this is how you're doing it.
05:05This is pretty cool.
05:07Where's the dino pasty, you know?
05:10Oh, okay.
05:1320,000 euro.
05:20That's wild.
05:27It's upstairs.
05:36I'm excited to see the dinosaurs.
06:01The original hall is closed.
06:25There's one island there.
06:29There's one Pangea.
06:33Jurassic. This was 200 million years ago.
06:39And then the Jurassic Age.
06:42They started to split?
06:44The Jurassic Age.
07:13Look at that tail.
07:23Those dinosaurs right there.
07:26Imagine that flying around.
07:30Sharp teeth.
08:29Look at that.
08:58Look at this colorful one.
09:23Look at this old tree.
09:26Old tree log.
09:31Dinosaur egg shells.
09:37Look at that.
10:06Look at the spikes coming off the back of this tail.
10:35That's funny, man.
10:41Eating dinosaur eggs.
10:49That was one of those flying things up there.
10:58Are these the little ones from Jurassic Park?
11:04The cute little ones?
11:12This is the cast of that.
11:14You can touch it if you want.
11:16That's cool.
11:18It looks like a really pretty bird, actually.
11:20Uh-huh.
11:33Birds can fly.
11:35Look at the hawks out the front of the wings.
11:38Oh, goodness.
12:07Are those one of the shiny ones out there?
12:22I've had those.
12:23Those are super pretty.
12:32Look at that one in the back.
12:34This one?
12:36Isn't that pretty there?
12:38It looks like opal.
12:39Uh-huh.
12:42Oh, wow.
12:44Look at these.
12:46Interesting.
12:48What is that?
12:51It had copper coming out of its back.
12:53It's magnified 10 times there, so it's much, much smaller.
12:57Oh, it's a representation.
12:59Yeah, they're just trying to make it big for you.
13:01There's some 20-inch copper.
13:03What if that was like a duck?
13:05Yeah, a copper duck.
13:08These look like scallops.
13:10Yup, scallops and oysters.
13:20Oh, yeah.
13:34Those are creepy.
14:01It shows the location of where he found the bones.
14:19I remember this.
14:21Oh, okay.
14:23Look at this part right here.
14:30It's a palm stump.
14:33Wow.
14:35Look at that.
14:36It's a rock.
14:38You guys used to have palm trees.
14:40They have palm trees still.
14:42People still grow them around here.
14:43Oh, okay.
14:48Same as Las Vegas.
14:50Oh, okay.
14:53It's a cast of a skull.
14:55It's pretty cool.
15:01A bone armor plate.
15:14Oh, those are those little swimmy, like the one we've seen over there.
15:17Is that a dung beetle?
15:19Oh, wow.
15:20It does look like a dung beetle.
15:23Yeah, it is.
15:25It feeds on animal feces.
15:27Ooh, that's a big one, too.
15:30I wonder how big they actually do get.
15:32I've seen them.
15:35That might be a full-size one.
15:36I'm not sure, but I've seen them.
15:38Oh, okay.
15:44It's a tibia right there.
15:46Here's a petrified wood, or as they call it, fossilized log.
15:52And they polished it?
15:54I don't know.
15:55Maybe there's a difference between fossilized and petrified.
16:01It's really cool.
16:02Very.
16:04They polished up a part of it.
16:23Oh, what it would look like if you were an ant.
16:26Oh.
16:27I think.
16:31A dinosaur?
16:32No.
16:33A reptile?
16:34Look at it.
16:35It kind of looks like a wasp, maybe.
16:36Oh, it looks like a wasp or a bee.
16:38So this is great.
16:40All right.
16:41All right.
16:45It's a little blind in the right eye.
16:47Uh-huh.
16:48Oh, wow.
16:51So that's the dung beetle again.
16:54These are definitely.
16:55Yeah, but those are from, I think, these ones only happen in Egypt.
16:59Oh, okay.
17:00Egypt and stuff.
17:01I don't know.
17:02I've only seen the ones over there.
17:05Look at how big they are.
17:30Yeah.
17:47Press it again.
17:48Yeah, I think so.
17:51Oh, my goodness.
17:52Look at all the babies in the eggs.
17:58Can you press the button again for me?
18:01Oh, yeah.
18:02It sounds really good.
18:17What does that sound like, an organ?
18:19It does.
18:21It's crazy the sound that they would make.
18:24It's kind of soothing.
18:28Maybe that's where they get the horn of war, you know what I'm talking about?
18:33If there was a Jurassic Park, would you go?
18:36I feel like I would.
18:38I think I would have to.
18:42Even if it happened just like the movie, I would have to do it.
18:49This makes me want to watch Jurassic Park.
18:57Oh, there you go.
19:00Good kids gambling early.
19:08Wow.
19:12Wow.
19:15Wow.
19:16I can't add it.
19:17I can't even.
19:18That's so wrong on so many levels.
19:21These ones are so creaky.
19:23The things that look like shells that have little legs and stuff.
19:26I know.
19:29I like it.
19:33They're cramps.
19:37Look, some shark's teeth.
19:38We got some shark's teeth.
19:41Oh, yeah.
19:43That would be cool to have shark's teeth into a rock.
19:47Yeah, fossil teeth.
19:49Fossilized.
19:53Yeah, no.
19:54Since they were not related to birds.
20:02So there was other flying.
20:03What flies?
20:04Does anything else fly but birds?
20:06Oh, I guess insects and stuff.
20:08I was going to say, how could it be not related to birds?
20:13It definitely looks like it's related to birds.
20:15It looks like it's related to that one that we seen while we were eating lunch that one day that ate a whole duck.
20:21It had a whole duck in its mouth.
20:23I went, wow.
20:35You can even see the skull on the top.
20:49I wonder if it's legal to have a dinosaur.
20:51This is where we were.
20:52This is where we camped.
20:53Redatan, New Mexico.
20:58Is this the coal?
21:00New Mexico is one of the few places on Earth where there's surviving rocks from this boundary.
21:07Is this coal?
21:10No, it's called claystone.
21:12It's a thin layer that, impact layer that consists of fragment rock.
21:18Impact boundary claystone.
21:21Because they believe when it hit.
21:29Sign of the horns, half of crater is buried beneath the limestone plains.
21:36Science fact.
21:51Here we go.
21:57Oh, the coal mine.
22:09I wanted to get some of that coal right there.
22:11Yeah.
22:32This dinosaur had gold teeth.
22:36What?
22:38This is a piece of the jaw of a haggersaur, or a duck-billed dinosaur.
22:41Haggersaurs first evolved around 100 million years ago.
22:45And went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.
22:4865 million years ago.
22:50These dinosaurs were blinging out.
22:51Oh yeah, alligator gar, I've caught one.
23:21In Florida.
23:24Their teeth are so sharp.
23:27Are they?
23:28Difficult to deal with.
23:29Yeah, very difficult to deal with getting off your hook.
23:34It's a bad time when you catch one.
23:36Because they're no good eating either.
23:45Very cool looking.
23:53They haven't changed much in the last 100 million years.
23:59Some of the living fossils in there.
24:02Interesting.
24:27What do you think?
24:51What if that thing grabbed a hold of your head?
24:54Oh no, it's so creepy.
24:56There's a smaller one right there.
24:58Those things are so creepy looking too.
25:00I don't know why.
25:15Oh, there's the little clownfish.
25:17There he is again.
25:19Cutie patootie.
25:21Wow, this is a really nice setup.
25:23That's all.
25:52What is it doing?
26:05I don't know.
26:22That's where you're going to be in a minute.
26:24I'm a little worried for her.
26:45Oh, there we go.
26:52It moves around, the floor moves, and it takes you through time.
26:57And then you can come off the same way.
26:59You want to go in?
27:00No.
27:04Welcome aboard the Evalator.
27:06I'm Charlie, your pilot and prehistoric guide.
27:09For the next six minutes, we'll be taking an extraordinary journey.
27:122,000 meters up through the crust of the Earth
27:15and 38 million years forward in time.
27:19Please step all the way into the Evalator.
27:21We'll get started in just a second.
27:24Okay, everyone, we're about to begin.
27:26Stand by.
27:27I'm closing the aft doors.
27:32Now, there are two important gauges to watch as we travel.
27:35That's the depth gauge over there.
27:37Notice it's at 2,000 meters below the surface level, which will exit.
27:42See those rocks displaying the gauge?
27:44Let's recollect at each stop along the way.
27:48You're not in my way at all.
27:52Notice it's at 75 million years before the 20th century.
27:58Well, that about covers the details.
28:01Let's take a look at our starting point.
28:06Beautiful downtown Albuquerque.
28:0875 million years before the 20th century.
28:12The entire area is covered by a shallow sea that stretches from the Gulf of Mexico
28:16all the way up through Canada to the Arctic Circle.
28:19Hey, it looks like we've got company.
28:21Elsie, can you get a reading?
28:24Wow, a mosasaur.
28:27This giant lizard must be over six meters long.
28:33They have one big appetite.
28:34They'll eat just about anything they can.
28:36Uh-oh, here he comes.
28:38Everybody, quick, brace yourselves.
28:40Whoa!
28:44We made it.
28:47I wanted to show you a lot more, but that guy had other ideas.
28:53Well, now we're going 5 million years forward in time.
28:57200 meters straight.
29:03Hey, how about that?
29:06Prime beachfront property.
29:08Just a second.
29:09I'm going to go outside and take a closer look.
29:20Hey, this looks just like the beach where I spent my last vacation.
29:26Thanks for that.
29:28Now that's something you wouldn't see back home.
29:31Hang on, I'm going to set up my camera.
29:37Elsie, switch on remote camera.
29:41How about that?
29:43Duck-billed dinosaurs.
29:45They're over nine meters long.
29:47Who's going to be missing?
29:52Uh-oh.
29:54Whoa, don't worry.
29:55I'm not coming any closer.
29:57Obviously, they're pretty big parents.
30:00Look, there's a mammal.
30:02You know, he's probably one of the largest mammals on Earth right now.
30:06Oh, no.
30:07Now I've spotted him.
30:12That guy should have been in another place for once.
30:14Hang in there, squirrel.
30:15We're counting on you.
30:19Footprints.
30:21Just think, in another 70 million years,
30:23you might see these same prints preserved in your natural history museum.
30:26Of course, these aren't especially big or dramatic.
30:29Wow.
30:31Now that's a big track.
30:33And another.
30:34And another.
30:36Or a cherry-tree.
30:40Uh-oh.
30:42Uh, yeah.
30:44Uh-oh.
30:45Uh-oh.
30:46Uh-oh.
30:53Oh, my gosh.
30:54Doesn't like a quiet day at the beach, huh?
30:59I certainly hope our next stop is a little more restful.
31:0750 meters up, 2 million years forward in time.
31:11That should do it.
31:15Albuquerque looks a lot different now, huh?
31:17The whole place is a swamp.
31:19See those bubbles?
31:21That's methane gas that's been released by decaying plants that have sunk to the bottom.
31:26Those rotting plants will eventually turn into coal,
31:28which in another 68 million years, people will be burning as fuel.
31:32Elsie, let's see if we can find some dinosaurs.
31:37Wow, that was fun.
31:39We found a genuine penicillatops.
31:41A swamp is a regular salad bar for this vegetarian.
31:45And we'd love to join you for dinner, big fella, but we've got to schedule the key.
31:50So long.
31:57Whoa.
31:59Let's tune in and see what's happened.
32:03Passing through the cretaceous territory boundary,
32:06the boundary between the age of dinosaurs and the age of men.
32:10One of the most mysterious events in all Earth's history happened here,
32:13the extinction of the dinosaurs.
32:16Well, it's part of the trip.
32:17It's never the same.
32:18It sort of depends on which extinction theory you believe.
32:21Well, we're learning that major extinctions happen every 25 million years or so.
32:25This one is a big event.
32:28Look out!
32:36Why don't we stop here and take a rest?
32:39Let's see, where are we?
32:41Boy, New Mexico sure has changed in the last 18 million years.
32:45The mountains you see still aren't exactly what we're used to in the 20th century.
32:49Those mountains haven't even been born yet.
32:52And there's been another major change since our last stop.
32:55The mammals have taken over.
32:57But there's more species than ever before.
32:59Elsie, let's see if we can find some local residents to show the folks.
33:05Oh, we're in luck.
33:07There are two primitive horses now.
33:09You'll notice that these mammals are a lot bigger than that mammal we saw 25 million years ago.
33:15Uh-oh, an oxygen.
33:18Let's see what's going to happen.
33:25They'll probably never catch those guys.
33:27But just by the bones I see around here, not all of them got away.
33:32Well, onwards and upwards to our final destination.
33:3737 million years before the 20th century.
33:42Well, this is far as Elsie and I take it.
33:45But you folks still have an exciting journey ahead of you.
33:47Starting just outside that door, you'll get a first-hand look at the inside of an active volcano.
33:54Elsie and I have really enjoyed showing you the last 38 million years.
33:57And we hope you folks enjoy the rest of your visit here at the Natural History Museum.
34:01So, step out to your left. Adventure awaits.
34:06So long.
34:08From both of us.
34:24Now we do it.
34:38Okay, ready?
34:46Good job.
34:47Go this way.
34:53Good job.
34:57Christy!
35:00Ow!
35:02What a timing for the sound to happen.
35:04I know.
35:06Oh, wow. Look at that one.
35:08Oh, the amethyst.
35:10Yeah.
35:19Look at the copper.
35:24It works so fast.
35:27Look at that.
35:29Breadcrust bomb.
35:31Lava drips.
35:34Hummus.
35:36Oh, yeah. Obsidian.
35:38I've found a lot of obsidian.
35:40That's what they make a lot of arrowheads out of.
35:45What is this twirly thing?
35:49Oh, it's from Hawaii.
35:52Smooth flowing lava.
36:00It has like a curly Q on it.
36:09The land of a thousand volcanoes.
36:12Is any of them active?
36:17I'm curious.
36:20No, I guess I would say no, right?
36:23Do we have any active volcanoes in the United States?
36:27Except Hawaii?
36:30Ask your phone.
36:37No, that's right. I didn't think so.
36:45How about that for a bird, huh?
36:49Oh, yeah.
36:54I wasn't sure if the technicality of an active volcano meant there's lava flowing out.
37:02Or if it's a volcano that is capable of...
37:09Because I thought they called them dormant.
37:11Didn't they call them dormant? I'm not sure.
37:20I wonder how fat these deer are.
37:22I don't know if they're called deer or not.
37:25Maybe horses.
