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
04:40And fading fast
04:41His hold on his family
04:43Is slipping away
04:48Sensing his weakness
04:50the intruder prepares for a finishing blow.
05:08But in the world of Tyrannosaurus Rex,
05:15the only battle that counts is for survival.
05:25This is the age of the dinosaurs.
05:48The
05:49of Tyrannosaurus Rex is a
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.
07:26Long before the infamous asteroid.
07:37Millions and millions of years in the past, on a planet that looks nothing like it does
07:46today.
07:50Where extraordinary beasts clash and struggle to survive.
07:59And where Earth's violent forces determine their fates.
08:07The 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.
08:38A single immense land mass that stretches from pole to pole.
09:05Its vast desert interior is more like the surface of Mars.
09:14Than planet Earth.
09:26Temperatures 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.
11:05It is the age of the ancient reptiles.
11:22A six-meter-long nightmare that stalks the shallow sea.
11:27A six-meter-long nightmare that stalks the shallow sea.
11:37And rhynchosaurs, one of the most successful reptiles in all of Pangaea.
11:45A six-meter-long nightmare that stalks the shallow sea.
11:55To each other, they're brutes and bullies.
12:06And the most successful reptiles.
12:07But to this reptile, they're just the terrified locals.
12:18Looperasuchus.
12:19Looperasuchus.
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.
13:27A baby Marasuchus.
13:36She waves no more than a mouse.
13:42But 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.
14:01Not 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.
15:42Which is vital.
15:44Because her descendants are the dinosaurs.
16:05One year later, Marasuchus is now fully grown.
16:15But when you're the size of a pigeon in a land of monsters, you're still just prey.
16:29Now, Marasuchus must make it through another night.
16:36It's critical.
16:38Because if this dinosaur in the making doesn't survive, her family tree could be cut down before it even takes
16:48root.
16:55She's picked up a scent.
16:59Something worthy of her bloodline.
17:08A rhynchosaur carcassus.
17:20A rhynchosaur carcassus.
17:37A rhynchosaur carcassus.
17:43A rhynchosaur carcassus.
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 Maransukas has a feathery fuzz that keeps her cozy.
18:45The perfect attire for a daring heist.
18:50What?
19:04What?
19:06What?
19:07What?
19:08What?
19:18What?
19:19What?
19:24What?
19:25What?
19:33What?
19:43What?
19:45What?
20:04What?
20:13What?
20:17What?
20:22What?
20:22What?
20:22What?
20:32What?
20:37What?
20:37What?
20:37What?
20:40The Earth itself.
20:49A million years later, in the far north of Pangea, the darkest forces of nature are awakening.
21:10A series of volcanic eruptions is creating a catastrophe.
21:19One that will alter the fate of the dinosaurs.
21:27But the danger is not the lava.
21:34It's a gas.
21:42Carbon dioxide.
21:46Chilling 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 sweeps across the globe.
23:06Carving vast rivers into the once dry continent.
23:11It is known as the Carnian fluvial event.
23:26This series of storms will be the longest downpour in history, lasting more than a million years.
24:01When the rains finally do subside...
24:04When the rains finally do subside...
24:04Pangea emerges...
24:07Pangea emerges...
24:08Transformed.
24:15A world reborn.
24:18A world reborn.
24:26What were endless deserts...
24:30Are now forests.
24:33New lands...
24:34Paches...
24:35That will help set the course...ah...
24:37The rise...
24:39Of the dinosaurs.
24:46But first...
24:47The 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.
28:13They will save them.
28:33Never mind watching this.
28:35This world is the most useful and useful of the wealth of the nearby plant-eating reptiles.
28:44As the kingdom of the ancient reptiles begins to fracture, another kind of animal is on the rise, the dinosaurs,
29:01and in this changing world, they must be adaptable.
29:14They must evolve.
29:19They must improve over time 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 come out of the shadows.
29:52As the end of the Triassic draws near, vast forests still dominate the land, now more vibrant than 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.
30:42To explore their new world with almost no regard for the dangers it may hold.
31:01But when they grow up, they grow up bigger.
31:12Much bigger.
31:17They are the first dinosaurs to become gigantic.
31:27Over seven 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.
32:36Because an adult Platyosaurus must eat 25 kilos of plants each day.
32:47And to wash down that much food requires a lot of water.
32:55And to keep going, they've eaten 15-20 or so on.
33:13And to keep an eye out of the tub at the bottom of the house.
33:13To avoid the city of Na'Zong it.
33:18So what do you want us to do now?
33:20We have to take a halt.
33:23And then keep an eye out of the universe to make a sense.
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.
34:11A 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 muscle.
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.
39:49Which can be costly.
39:53Because dinosaurs dwell in these canyons.
40:15The largest member of the carnivore clan.
40:23Lillian Sternus.
40:28Twice as long as a grizzly bear.
40:31With claws that can tear through flesh.
40:38And with her finely tuned sense of smell, she doesn't miss a thing.
40:59The third is very active.
41:00The surface is quite good.
41:01It is not that they have to be surrounded by the wall and it is by the end of the
41:02tower.
41:02The Archive Valley where it is hard to take.
41:02After all, she has scratched the ground.
41:02In the past, she has broken up here.
41:02After all, she has broken up here on the outside.
41:06But the mini900th is paling in blue.
41:07The end of the cat saturned in the hintermobile it.
41:08That starts with a giant tower.
41:09And, I look at it, I see the first time they have to take a deep breath.
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.
42:02Dozens of eyes are circling above.
42:31Dozens of eyes are circling above.
42:51This moment 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.
43:26But 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.
44:27No!
44:28No!
44:29No!
44:29No!
