00:16Surely, one of the most remarkable animals that have ever existed,
00:21and certainly one of the most famous, is a dinosaur.
00:27Tyrannosaurus rex.
00:30An animal to spark the imagination for all of us.
00:35What kind of an animal was it?
00:38What did it look like?
00:40How did it live?
00:41Now, scientific research has answered such questions,
00:45and not just about T-Rex, but the other species that lived alongside it.
00:51And the latest imaging technology enables us to bring them all to life.
01:01Planet Earth, 66 million years ago.
01:13The skies are filled with flying giants.
01:19In the seas, monstrous reptiles patrol the depths.
01:25And on land, dinosaurs of every kind, all facing the struggle to survive.
01:38We now know so much about a world that was ruled by the dinosaurs.
01:49This is their story.
01:53The clouds are carved by the place.
01:54The clouds are carved by the end, and they're still alive.
01:59The clouds are carved by the sky.
02:01The clouds of the city are carved by the sky.
02:08And they're found in the sky.
02:10You see it, it's been very sad.
02:16The clouds have carved by the sky.
02:21And the rivers that flow here are still shaping these great canyons.
02:32Such places are the home of flying reptiles.
02:40Pterosaurs.
02:47Their wings of skin stretch from finger to ankle.
02:58And they can fly for hundreds of miles in a day.
03:14Pterosaurs.
03:19Pterosaurs.
03:21We're just here.
03:32We're just here.
03:36We're here.
03:36We're here.
03:38We're here.
03:38Each evening they come to this canyon in huge numbers,
03:42to roost on its narrow ledges.
03:49There is safety in numbers, and anyway, few land-living hunters venture here, but one
04:01does, a type of dinosaur, Velociraptor.
04:14Their bodies are kept warm by feathers, but they can't fly.
04:19They are, however, exceptionally agile, and just as well.
04:34One false step here could bring disaster.
04:44The pterosaurs are skittish.
04:46They will take to the air at the first sign of danger.
04:55If the Velociraptors are to get a meal, the element of surprise will be crucial.
05:21Lightweight bodies and feathered arms help them to control their descent.
05:31And their broad tails assist them in keeping their balance.
05:44Those pterosaurs that are resting on the margins of the colony will be the easiest targets.
06:06Thank you very much.
06:23The roar of the waterfall rounds the sound of slipping rocks.
06:50The female goes high.
06:55The two males stay low.
07:14A few dinosaurs are almost within striking distance.
07:20The roar of the waterfall.
07:22The roar of the waterfall.
07:32The roar of the waterfall.
07:38The roar of the waterfall.
07:39She has one.
07:40But now the whole colony is alarmed.
07:44The roar of the waterfall.
07:47The roar of the waterfall.
08:18The female puts the effectiveness of her feathered tail to the test
08:27And in the end, she gets her meal
08:33The males are left to face the pterosaurs
08:46The power of fresh water is at work all around the planet
08:56Global temperatures are high
08:59There are violent storms and torrential rains
09:15Much of North America is covered by thick, lush forest
09:24Here live some of the most gigantic plant eaters that have ever existed
09:33And they, in turn, are prey for the most ferocious of hunters
09:38And they, in turn, are prey for summer
10:10Tyrannosaurus rex.
10:14This old male has just brought down a triceratops.
10:24But in doing so, he's been injured.
10:37T-Rex are built for hunting large herbivores.
10:43And many of those have evolved heavy defensive weapons.
10:55Decades of battling armored prey has scarred his body.
11:07One battle even cost him the tip of his tail.
11:19These new injuries are more serious.
11:27At his great age, infection is a real risk.
11:46River water could help to clean his wounds.
12:01He stands a good chance of living to fight another day.
12:09But that day could come sooner than expected.
12:28Another T-Rex.
12:37A stranger.
12:40A stranger.
12:40A stranger.
12:54The newcomer has a different smell.
13:01It's a female.
13:04She's younger and smaller.
13:12But nonetheless, she might also be a rival.
13:25He, however, makes it clear that he's not interested in fighting.
13:35He would prefer to mate.
13:47She seems to approve.
13:59The facial area of a tyrannosaur is very sensitive to touch.
14:05And they nuzzle.
14:12His great size and his battle scars are evidence that he is a survivor.
14:20And that, perhaps in her eyes, makes him an attractive partner.
14:44So, they stay together, and in the coming weeks, they mate frequently.
14:52Eventually, she'll lay up to 15 eggs.
14:58And with them comes the promise of the next generation.
15:02The next generation.
15:03The next generation.
15:13The next generation.
15:14Habitats that depend on fresh water can change rapidly and radically.
15:25In parts of Central Asia, heavy seasonal rains fill the rivers until eventually they overflow their banks.
15:37The surrounding plains are flooded.
15:53And through the water wades one of the most bizarre of all dinosaurs.
16:19Dino Kairos.
16:23It's even taller than T-Rex.
16:28And it's massive duck-billed snout is very effective in gathering water plants.
16:35This male feeds voraciously, having eaten very little during the long dry season.
16:45Water plants are rich in nutrients.
16:49And his huge curved claws, eight inches long, enable him to dredge them up from deep beneath the surface.
17:08He himself is a source of food for smaller creatures.
17:17Blood sucking flies.
17:19Blood sucking flies.
17:19Which infest his coat.
17:28They're irritating.
17:30And even painful.
17:32And while his huge claws enable him to have a good scratch.
17:39There are always some spots that are just out of reach.
17:43There are always some spots that are just out of reach.
17:50To get to them, he needs assistance.
17:57A dead tree.
17:59That could be the answer.
18:02The handất
18:06A dead tree.
18:22That's much better.
18:39And now he can get back to feeding.
18:47But a diet that consists almost entirely of wet vegetation
18:52does have one inevitable consequence.
19:09What was food for one becomes fertilizer for many others.
19:20And a giant as big as Dino Kyrus can produce over 20 tons of dung every year.
19:39Southern Africa.
19:43Here too, the annual rains create floods.
19:49And the land turns into a maze of narrow channels
19:53running between countless small islands.
20:03This is now a swamp forest.
20:13And it attracts one of the largest flying animals
20:17that has ever lived on planet Earth.
20:30A giant pterosaur, Ketzalcoatlus.
20:36A giant pterosaur, Ketzalcoatlus.
20:49This is a female.
20:51Her wings are over 30 feet across.
20:56And she's come here for one particular reason.
21:28The small islands
21:30created by the rising waters
21:32are just the place for her to lay her eggs.
21:51Ketzalcoatlus are certainly masters of flight.
21:53But they're also, perhaps surprisingly,
21:56very competent on the ground.
22:00Each wing is supported by the single, greatly elongated bone
22:05of her fourth finger.
22:07By turning her wings upwards,
22:10she can walk very effectively on all fours.
22:25She's come here to make a nest.
22:29She's come here to make a nest.
22:35She chooses to do so on damp, swampy soil
22:39that will prevent her soft-shelled eggs from drying out.
22:44She's come here to make a nest.
22:51She's come here to make a nest.
23:11This is a kind of symbol of a type of force,
23:12she's been able to make a nest.
23:25For the next three weeks, she will guard the open nest.
23:36And add two more eggs every few days.
23:50Producing eggs takes a lot of effort and energy.
23:55Each one is huge, weighing around a quinoa.
24:12Eventually, she produces a clutch of a dozen or so.
24:19She covers them with vegetation to conceal them.
24:34Now, she needs to eat.
24:39There should be enough food on this island to sustain her youngsters when they hatch.
24:45But there's nothing substantial enough here to satisfy her own hunger.
24:56She must leave to hunt for prey elsewhere.
25:01And trust that the isolation of her nest will keep her unhatched young safe while she's away.
25:28Another much older Quetzalcoatlus female.
25:45She, too, is looking for a safe place to lay her eggs.
25:51And there may not be enough food here for two sets of giant nestlings.
25:58But there is a way to solve that problem.
26:12And eggs, after all, are very nutritious.
26:42The owner of the nest.
26:44The ghost is back.
27:13inanise
27:24The older female is driven off.
27:34But the younger female's nest is wrecked.
28:01Out of the dozen eggs that she laid, only three have survived.
28:12The success of her breeding season now rests on these three fragile eggs.
28:23She will protect them as best she can until they hatch in a few months' time.
28:31But after that, her young will have to fend for themselves.
28:42As river water flows downstream, it scars out billions of tons of sand and gravel and even shifts great boulders.
28:54The finer sediments may be transported for hundreds of miles, but as the river broadens, it slows.
29:02And as a consequence, it begins to drop some of its load.
29:13And animals whose ancestors lived in the sea begin to appear.
29:24Crabs.
29:29In some places, there may be dozens per square meter.
29:47This is Mashikasaurus.
29:51A female, six feet long.
29:53And she has a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth.
29:59Just what you need to deal with awkward, multi-legged prey.
30:22Crabs may have hard shells, but they're full of protein.
30:31Crabs may have hard shells, but they're full of protein.
30:33They're full of protein to miss.
30:44And not only for her.
30:51She has three young.
30:57Only four inches tall.
31:02And not quite ready to take on large crabs.
31:15They still rely on their mother's leftovers.
31:22But some youngsters develop hunting instincts early.
31:37Very tempting.
31:45The smallest crabs can be swallowed whole.
31:54Unfortunately, what they lack in size, they make up for in speed.
32:17It's best for the young not to stray too far.
32:45Beelzebufo, the Devil Toad.
32:48Beelzebufo, the Devil Toad.
32:50One of the largest frogs that has ever existed.
33:05He won't need to feed again for a month.
33:18These sandbars may be a rich feeding ground,
33:22but there can be a high price to pay for living here.
33:34The river water is now approaching the sea.
33:41A taste of salt in its waters is already detectable.
33:49A taste of salt.
33:53At high tide, visitors come in from the open sea to explore these channels.
34:18Don't let them go and have a good idea.
34:30You see the door under there.
34:30The other end of the lake, will be open.
34:31Is there any difference?
34:36Not a good question.
34:40There are big trees in the sea.
34:47to explore the brackish waters.
35:28Now the millions of tons of sediment carried here by rivers
35:32is finally delivered into the sea.
35:41The river water takes time to mix with the ocean,
35:44and for a while the two waters flow side by side.
35:51Nonetheless, great shoals of fish find plenty on which to feed in these waters.
36:01The clouds of sediment conceal the fish if they're any distance away.
36:09But the alasmosaurs don't hesitate to swim into the murkiest of waters to pursue their prey.
36:35There is no escape to the fish.
36:45Even above the water.
37:08These alasmosaurs collect the last of the river's gifts
37:12before its traces are finally lost in the oceans of the prehistoric planet.
37:31Next on prehistoric planet, the bond between mother and young is tested to the limit as they struggle to survive.
37:39Ancient foes battle each other and freezing blisters.
37:45And feathered dinosaurs rule the ice worlds.
37:50To discover the science behind the stories, go now to the prehistoric planet show page.
37:57That is fake.
38:03I believe.
38:05You don't have to end the Peary.
38:06You're wrong.
38:06To do this part in the ocean.
38:07Then see
38:07the earth will be upped and fit all the pacатель pages.
38:08What?
38:08,
