00:50Earth
00:52Sixty-six million years ago
00:56During the great reign
00:58Of the dinosaurs
01:05Majestic creatures
01:09Giants
01:10And monsters
01:12That can often seem more imagined
01:16Than real
01:19Including
01:21This
01:23Pachycephalosaurus
01:29He's an old
01:31Alpha male
01:33Eager to get back to his
01:35Harem of females
01:42But 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 in his way
02:25But holding on to his family
02:28Is all that matters
02:39He'll risk his life
02:41To reach them
02:41Aman
02:43An
02:43Who
02:43Who
02:44Who
02:44Who
02:46Who
02:47A
02:48Who
03:16He may have survived the crossing.
03:19But the battle has just begun.
03:24The trespasser is younger, stronger, and more aggressive.
03:38And he won't surrender these females without a fight.
03:48Their four-inch-thick skulls are designed for a brutal style of combat.
04:16Neither side is backing down.
04:31This time, the alpha is hurt.
04:39Days invading fast.
04:42His hold on his family is slipping away.
04:48Sensing his weakness, the 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.
05:29The force.
05:30The force.
06:03The force.
06:03The force.
06:08The force.
06:12The force.
06:14The force.
06:18The force.
06:18The force.
06:19The force.
06:20The force.
06:20The force.
06:21The force.
06:22The force.
06:22The force.
06:23The force.
06:23The force.
06:25The force.
06:26The force.
06:27The force.
06:27The force.
06:28The force.
06:28The force.
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.
08:08The 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.
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.
09:25Temperatures here are brutally hot.
09:36In some places, it hasn't rained in thousands of years.
09:46But 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.
11:00This is a time long before the age of the dinosaurs.
11:06It is the age of the ancient reptiles.
11:18Like Tynistrophius.
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.
12:18Lupaurisuchus.
12:20The four-meter-long apex predator of his time.
12:33But he's not here for the Rankosaurs.
12:38He'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.
13:42But 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, 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.
14:58Their 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.
15:35But thanks to her, it's still intact.
15:42Which is vital.
15:45Because 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 carcass.
17:11A rhynchosaur carcass.
17:20He's in a
17:21And the
17:29But it's already been claimed...
17:37...by her old nemesis...
17:40Nupra S Carmichael.
17:43This is his kill, and he does not intend to share.
17:57But as night approaches, temperatures start to drop.
18:22The colder it gets, the drowsier a giant reptile becomes.
18:32Meanwhile, the warmer-blooded Marasuchus has a feathery fuzz that keeps her cozy.
18:45The perfect attire for a daring heist.
19:19The perfect attire for a daring heist.
19:44If she plays it right...
19:50She may just get her moonlit dinner for one.
20:02A 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.
21:19One that will alter the fate of the dinosaurs.
21:27But the danger is not the lava.
21:35It's a gas.
21:43Carbon dioxide.
21:46Chilling the skies and warming the planet.
21:49The 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 swoops 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 are now forests.
24:33New lands that will help set the course for the rise of the dinosaurs.
24:45But first, the reptile empire must falter.
25:01The air in these woods is thick with the smell of tree resin.
25:15Nature is unforgiving here.
25:25The once prosperous plant-eating reptiles.
25:30Are on the decline.
25:33Are on the decline.
25:44Not only is this rhinosaur alone.
25:48She's starving.
25:55In this new world of towering trees.
26:00The 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.
27:11For these reptilian carnivores.
27:14This is a time of great opportunity.
27:32Unlike the nimble Marasuchus.
27:35She's slow.
27:38Weak.
27:40Vulnerable.
27:42She's slow.
27:59The rhinocosaurs were once among the most successful of the plant-eating reptiles.
28:08Now their extinction is just a matter of time.
28:13I know.
28:14Weak.
28:19That will be the last time.
28:28Weak.
28:31Weak.
28:38Weak.
28:44As the kingdom of the ancient reptiles begins to fracture,
28:52another kind of animal is on the rise.
28:59The dinosaurs.
29:10And in this changing world, they must be adaptable.
29:19They must evolve.
29:25They must improve over time.
29:30And transform in ways that will help them survive.
29:39Finally, 12 million years after the demise of the Rhynchosaurs,
29:46the dinosaurs can begin to come out of the shadows.
29:58As the end of the Triassic draws near,
30:01vast forests still dominate the land.
30:06Now, more vibrant than ever.
30:12And the dinosaurs are reaping the benefits.
30:24Like Plateosaurus, a dinosaur trailblazer.
30:40This little one and her siblings are embarking on a maze.
30:48They have a mission to explore their new world
30:53with almost no regard for the dangers it may hold.
31:09They may not look any bigger than little Marasookas.
31:16But when they grow up, they grow up bigger.
31:22Much bigger.
31:27They are the first dinosaurs to become gigantic.
31:37Over seven meters long, they've come a long way
31:42since their tiny ancestors ran for their lives.
31:52And unlike the Rhynchosaurs, these giants can easily reach
31:57the higher vegetation.
32:12They even have a trick for reaching the most tender shoots of all.
32:38Excessive, maybe.
32:38Excessive, maybe, but worth it.
32:46Because an adult Plateosaurus must eat 25 kilos of plants each day.
32:58And to wash down that much food requires a lot of water.
33:22But it's like that they have to grow.
33:23so you can get it in front of them.
33:23And if you're looking for the other people,
33:23The phenomenon of pigs having people to be a big part of the earth.
33:24Is this a frightening planet?
33:24No, you're looking at all the other people who knew that they were worried?
33:24No, you're looking at all the other people who knew that it was a big part of the planet.
33:27It was a big part of the planet.
33:28Hes between the planet.
33:28In the world of Peter's own, it's crazy.
33:30It's crazy, everyone.
33:31How are you doing?
33:34It's crazy?
33:40It's an easy life, but in the age of the early dinosaurs, even a giant like Platyosaurus
33:55must be careful, because there is another dinosaur on the rise, a newcomer with a taste for blood.
34:20A carnivore with razor-sharp teeth and killer claws.
34:39His descendants will one day include Tyrannosaurus rex, but for now, this angry predator is only
34:52the size of a turkey.
35:06While the matchup between these two dinosaurs may be a little lopsided, it won't stay that
35:21way.
35:25Over time, a fierce rivalry will grow between two great dinosaur clans, the herbivores and
35:39the carnivores.
35:47But for the time being, all dinosaurs are facing a much greater threat than each other.
36:20In the water and on land, the ancient reptiles remain top of the food chain.
36:51The dinosaurs are growing as a force in the world.
36:56But their rise is slow.
37:01The planet still belongs to the reptiles.
37:10For the dinosaurs to truly challenge them, it will take millions of years.
37:33By the end of the Triassic, the dinosaurs are ready to flex their muscles.
37:43By the end of the Triassic, the dinosaurs are ready to flex their muscles.
37:50But there are new creatures also vying for domination.
37:56And in the mountains of Tangia, some of them have taken to the air.
38:15Pterosaurs, flying reptiles with a wingspan of two meters.
38:26And they are in total command of the Triassic skies.
38:46These jagged peaks are their mating grounds.
39:07And this male has spotted a female.
39:17First, eject the competition.
39:28Now, it's time for the courtship to begin.
39:47During these rituals, the pterosaurs are focused entirely on each other.
39:54Not their surroundings.
40:00Which can be costly.
40:04Because dinosaurs dwell in these canyons.
40:25The largest member of the carnivore clan.
40:33Lillian Sternus.
40:38Twice as long as a grizzly bear.
40:41With claws that can tear through flesh.
40:48And with her finely tuned sense of smell, she doesn't miss a thing.
41:10Lillian Sternus is going to attack the cat.
41:10And he is a female.
41:11She is supposed to suck.
41:11The cat is not yet the opposite of the cat.
41:11The dad is not yet the one.
41:16The cat is not yet the cat is not yet the one.
41:31Dozens of eyes are circling above.
41:37Even with her camouflage, one wrong move could blow her cover.
42:12Dozens of eyes are circling above.
42:18I don't know.
43:01This moment marks a new chapter in the rise of the dinosaurs.
43:10At last, they are a force to be feared.
43:21But the commotion of her attack has attracted another predator.
43:29The ancient reptiles have terrorized the dinosaurs from the beginning.
43:37But that ends now.
43:44Lillian Sternus won't be skulking back to the shadows.
43:53She can hold her ground.
44:07The trouble is...
44:10Here, at the end of the Triassic...
44:13The ground itself...
44:16Is about to throw the entire dinosaur story...
44:21Into chaos.
44:28No!
44:37No!
44:38No!
44:39No!
44:39No!
44:40No!
44:41No!
44:42No!
44:45No!
44:47No!
44:48No!
44:52No!
44:56No!
44:58No!
45:00No!
