00:50Earth
00:5266 million years ago
00:56During the great reign
00:58Of the dinosaurs
01:06Majestic creatures
01:10Giants
01:10And monsters
01:12That can often seem more imagined
01:16Than real
01:20Including
01:22This Pachycephalosaurus
01:29He's an old
01:31Alpha male
01:33Eager to get back to his
01:35Harem of females
01:41But something's caught their attention
01:49A rival male
01:56If the alpha doesn't get there
01:58He may lose them
02:00To the intruder
02:05There's just one problem
02:10There's a herd of giants
02:11In his way
02:25But holding on to his family
02:28Is all that matters
02:39He'll risk his life
02:41To reach them

04:31This time
04:33The alpha is hurt
04:39Days
04:40Invading fast
04:41His old
04:43On his family
04:43Is slipping away
04:48Sensing his weakness
04:50The intruder prepares
04:52For a finishing blow
05:08But in the world of Tyrannosaurus Rex, the only battle that counts is for survival.
05:24This is the age of the dinosaurs.
06:07This is the age of the world of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
06:07This is the age of the world of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
06:49Miss Tyrannosaurus Rex.
06:59This is the story of the dinosaurs, as it has never been told before.
07:19It takes place in a world lost to time.
07:27Long before the infamous asteroid.
07:37Millions and millions of years in the past on a planet that looks nothing like it does
07:46today, where extraordinary beasts clash and struggle to survive, and where Earth's violent
08:01forces determine their fates.
08:08The story begins 235 million years ago, in an era known as the Triassic.
08:21Where a twist of evolution will change the course of history.
08:31The supercontinent of Pangaea, a single immense landmass that stretches from pole to pole.
09:05Its vast desert interior is more like the surface of Mars.
09:14Than planet Earth.
09:25Temperatures here are brutally hot.
09:37In some places, it hasn't rained in thousands of years.
09:47But there is something far worse than the heat.
10:04Sandstorms.
10:11Few creatures can survive in a world this extreme.
10:41But not all of Pangaea is a desert wasteland.
10:48Along its fringes, the warm, lush coastlines are the perfect place for life to thrive.
11:01This is a time long before the age of the dinosaurs.
11:06It is the age of the ancient reptiles.
11:22A six-meter-long nightmare that stalks the shallow sea.
11:37And rhynchosaurs.
11:40One of the most successful reptiles in all of Pangaea.
11:55To each other, they're brutes and bullies.
12:06But to this reptile, they're just the terrified locals.
12:18Looperasuchus.
12:20The four-meter-long apex predator of his time.
12:33But he's not here for the rynchosaurs.
12:37He's sniffed out an easier target.
12:48A clutch of eggs.
12:56Very special eggs.
13:01Because growing inside them are the very first of their kind.
13:24A baby Marasuchus.
13:36She waves no more than a mouse.
13:41But she makes up for it.
13:45Because she has a set of skills that sets her apart from the ancient reptiles.
13:55Including the remarkable ability to stand on two legs, not just four.
14:12She also has advanced lungs and lighter bones.
14:21Adaptations that give these little hatchlings an invaluable gift.
14:30They are born to run.
14:36And in this day and age, they need to.
14:58They're only hope is to find a place to hide.
15:07Easier said than done when you've hatched into hell.
15:21All her siblings are gone.
15:28The survival of her bloodline is now hanging by a thread.
15:36But thanks to her, it's still intact.
15:40And also, it's still intact.
15:42Which is vital.
15:45Because her descendants.
15:49Are the dinosaurs.
16:05One year later, Marasuchus is now fully grown, but when you're the size of a pigeon in a
16:19land of monsters, you're still just prey. Now, Marasuchus must make it through another
16:34night. It's critical, because if this dinosaur in the making doesn't survive, her family tree
16:45could be cut down before it even takes root.
16:55She's picked up a scent, something worthy of her bloodline.
17:08A rhynchosaur carcass.
17:30But it's already been claimed.
17:38By her old nemesis, Nucrasuchus, this is his kill, and he does not intend to share.
17:56But as night approaches, temperatures start to drop.
18:22The colder it gets, the drowsier the giant reptile becomes.
18:32Meanwhile, the warmer-blooded Marasuchus has a feathery fuzz that keeps her cozy.
18:46The perfect attire for a daring heist.
18:50The perfect attire for a long-term.
18:51Oh, yeah.
18:55Oh, yeah.
18:59Oh, yeah.
19:09Oh, yeah.
19:11Oh, yeah.
19:14Oh, yeah.
19:19Oh, yeah.
19:44If she plays it right,
19:50she may just get her moonlit dinner for one.
20:02Her feast fit for a dinosaur.
20:15Marasuchus has great potential.
20:18She's adaptable with traits that make her special.
20:25But if the dinosaurs are to challenge the ancient reptiles, it will take more than skills.
20:35It will take a powerful ally.
20:40The Earth itself.
20:48A million years later, in the far north of Pangea, the darkest forces of nature are awakening.
21:09A series of volcanic eruptions is creating a catastrophe.
21:18One that will alter the fate of the dinosaurs.
21:27But the danger is not the lava.
21:35It's a gas.
21:42Carbon dioxide.
21:45Chilling the skies and warming the planet.
21:51The rising temperatures cause a massive surge in ocean evaporation.
22:10Huge storm clouds descend on the continent of Pangea.
22:28But this will be no ordinary rainfall.
22:59It slips across the globe.
23:06Carving vast rivers into the once dry continent.
23:20Known as the Carnian fluvial event.
23:26This series of storms will be the longest downpour in history.
23:33Lasting more than a million years.
24:01When the rains finally do subside.
24:04Pangea emerges.
24:07Pangea emerges.
24:08Transformed.
24:15A world reborn.
24:27What were endless deserts.
24:29Are now forests.
24:33New lands.
24:35That would help us a course.
24:37For the rise of the dinosaurs.
24:45But first, the reptile empire must falter.
25:02The air in these woods is thick with the smell of tree resin.
25:15Nature is unforgiving here.
25:25The once prosperous plant-eating reptiles are on the decline.
25:44Not only is this rhinosaur alone, she's starving.
25:55In this new world of towering trees, the low-lying plants that once allowed her species to thrive
26:07have all but disappeared.
26:28She won't survive if she can't reach her food.
26:51And she has a more immediate problem than hunger.
27:04A relative of the fearsome Luperosuchus, for these reptilian carnivores, this is a time
27:16of great opportunity.
27:31Unlike the nimble Marasuchus, she's slow, weak, vulnerable.
27:59The rhinocosaurs were once among the most successful of the plant-eating reptiles.
28:09Now their extinction is just a matter of time.
28:13Mm.
28:21Mm.
28:44As the kingdom of the ancient reptiles begins to fracture,
28:52Another kind of animal is on the rise, the dinosaurs.
29:05And in this changing world, they must be adaptable, they must evolve, they must improve over
29:22time, and transform in ways that will help them survive.
29:34Finally, 12 million years after the demise of the rancosaurs, the dinosaurs can begin to
29:44come out of the shadows.
29:52As the end of the Triassic draws near, vast forests still dominate the land, now more vibrant
30:04than ever.
30:07And the dinosaurs are reaping the benefits.
30:19Like Platyosaurus, a dinosaur trailblazer.
30:35This little one and her siblings are embarking on a mission to explore their new world with
30:48almost no regard for the dangers it may hold, than little marasuchas.
31:06But when they grow up, they grow up bigger, much bigger.
31:17They are the first dinosaurs to become gigantic.
31:27Over 7 meters long, they've come a long way since their tiny ancestors ran for their lives.
31:41And unlike the rancosaurs, these giants can easily reach the higher vegetation.
32:02They even have a trick for reaching their most tender shoots of all.
32:27Excessive maybe, but worth it.
32:35Excessive maybe, but worth it.
32:37Because an adult Platyosaurus must eat 25 kilos of plants each day.
32:47Excessive maybe, and to wash down that much food requires a lot of water.
33:12And if not enough, before the humans are going to have to be.
33:13and the Seasonal Fades opening the river is a bit different.
33:13That's an adult.
33:13And even if they fall down in their fields, the sea of a sea of the sea of their rivers
33:14are at the sea of the sea of the sea.
33:14We've come to the sea of the sea of the sea where they'll serve the sea.
33:14The sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea may be far to the sea
33:17of the sea is ready.
33:17The sea of the sea of the sea are almost endless in the sea of the sea.
33:21So much water is ready for the sea to the sea.
33:30It's an easy life, but in the age of the early dinosaurs, even a giant like Platiosaurus
33:45must be careful, because there is another dinosaur on the rise, a newcomer with a taste for blood.
34:10Procuncinethus, a carnivore with razor-sharp teeth and killer claws.
34:29His descendants will one day include Tyrannosaurus rex, but for now, this angry predator is only
34:42the size of a turkey.
34:56While the matchup between these two dinosaurs may be a little lopsided, it won't stay that
35:11way.
35:15Over time, a fierce rivalry will grow between two great dinosaur clans.
35:24The herbivores, and the carnivores.
35:36But for the time being, all dinosaurs are facing a much greater threat than each other.
36:10In the water, and on land, the ancient reptiles remain top of the food chain.
36:41The dinosaurs are growing as a force in the world.
36:46But their rise is slow.
36:52The planet still belongs to the reptiles.
37:00For the dinosaurs to truly challenge them, it will take millions of years.
37:11Shaped by Earth's dynamic forces, they grow fiercer, more powerful, more advanced.
37:27By the end of the Triassic, the dinosaurs are ready to flex their muscles.
37:40But there are new creatures also vying for domination.
37:46And in the mountains of Pangaea, some of them have taken to the air.
38:04Pterosaurs, flying reptiles with a wingspan of two meters.
38:16And they are in total command of the Triassic skies.
38:36These jagged peaks are their mating grounds.
38:57And this male has spotted a female.
39:07First, eject the competition.
39:18Now, it's time for the courtship to begin.
39:37During these rituals, the pterosaurs are focused entirely on each other, not their surroundings.
39:50Which can be costly, because dinosaurs dwell in these canyons.
40:15The largest member of the carnivore clan.
40:23Lillian Sternus, twice as long as a grizzly bear, with claws that can tear through flesh.
40:38And with her finely tuned sense of smell, she doesn't miss a thing.
41:11They are over the Verfüg he suddenly wine is a part of the Major Lillian.
41:21Dozens of eyes are circling above.
41:26Even with her camouflage, one wrong move could blow her cover.
42:02Dozens of eyes are circling above.
42:31Dozens of eyes are circling above.
42:51This
42:52moment marks a new chapter in the rise of the dinosaurs.
43:00At last, they are a force to be feared.
43:11But the commotion of her attack has attracted another predator.
43:19The ancient reptiles have terrorized the dinosaurs from the beginning.
43:27But that ends now.
43:34Lillian Sternus won't be skulking back to the shadows.
43:43She can hold her ground.
43:57The trouble is, here at the end of the Triassic, the ground itself is about to throw the entire dinosaur
44:10story into chaos.
