The mysterious Dr. Lizard entrusts Gary and Eric with a dinosaur egg. Now they must find out everything they can about dinosaurs before the egg hatches. Their quest takes them everywhere from Knott's Berry Farm to a dig site deep in the Canadian Badlands, all leading up to the amazing birth of a feisty baby Ceratosaurus.

00:29I'll see you next time.
01:57I hope they are here.
02:20Yes, thank you.
02:21Oh, boy.
02:23Wait till I tell the people back home that I actually talked to you.
02:26I mean, they think you movie stars are all stuck up.
02:28We're not exactly movie stars.
02:31Nonetheless, Gary, you know, I'm just saying to Gary here that maybe we should think about doing a new dinosaur
02:36show, huh?
02:37Oh, that's great.
02:38You know, since you're so involved with dinosaurs, it would really be a shame for you to miss our next
02:43show.
02:44So, no, call me crazy, but why don't you give me your phone number, and I'd be glad to call
02:49you when the show's on.
02:50Oh, you do that?
02:52Oh, of course.
02:53It's our duty to give our fans some individual attention.
02:56It's great.
02:57Oh, my goodness, isn't that Arnold Schwarzenegger over there?
03:01Oh, my goodness, yes, it's him.
03:04Oh, fantastic.
03:05Over there, over there.
03:06Oh, the Hollywood glamour.
03:07Oh, yes, yes.
03:09Bye.
03:11Yeah, bye.
03:11Mr. Owens and Boardman, there is something that I must ask you.
03:18Do you promise absolute secrecy?
03:22Sure.
03:22Yes, yes, we do.
03:24Oh.
03:27I didn't know where else to turn.
03:30I know how much you two care about dinosaurs, huh?
03:35Oh, yes, very much so, yes, we do.
03:37Then you must see this.
03:43A treasure beyond belief.
03:45Look at that.
03:46Wow.
03:47A dinosaur egg.
03:49A dinosaur egg.
03:51Wow.
03:52This is not just any dinosaur egg.
03:56This one, for some incredible reason,
04:02contains a still living embryo.
04:07A living embryo?
04:08That means a baby dinosaur is in there?
04:10Well, how do you know that's not like an oversized ostrich egg?
04:14Please!
04:15I have spi-
04:16Please.
04:18I have studied paleontology all of my life.
04:22I took some shavings from this egg.
04:25And by the process of carbon dating,
04:27I have discovered that this egg
04:29is nearly 120 million years of age.
04:34Well, then that would make it from the middle of the Jurassic period.
04:38What kind of a dino is-
04:39Please, we have no time for this.
04:43You must take this egg.
04:46And please,
04:48be careful.
04:52Wow.
04:52What's the hurry, and who are you, sir?
04:55I am Professor Lizard.
04:57Professor Lizard.
04:58No, no!
05:00I had better not tell you my name,
05:02because then
05:03he cannot be forced
05:06out of you.
05:08Forced out?
05:09By who?
05:10By the man who will stop at
05:13nothing
05:14to get this egg.
05:16Nothing?
05:17Nothing.
05:19Well, why don't you take it
05:20to the museum
05:21or the authorities?
05:22Ha!
05:23I mean,
05:26those are the first places
05:27that you would think
05:28that I would take it, huh?
05:31But nobody
05:32would ever think
05:34that something
05:35this valuable,
05:37this important,
05:41would ever be given
05:42to you two
05:43to take care of, huh?
05:46Well,
05:46I had better go now.
05:48It's best
05:49that we don't be seen together,
05:50huh?
05:51Don't look around!
05:54You must enjoy
05:55attention to yourselves.
06:03Wow.
06:05Rain.
06:07Look at that egg.
06:14See anything?
06:16No,
06:16I don't think
06:17anybody followed us.
06:17I don't know
06:18what we're gonna do
06:19if that guy
06:20was on the level
06:21and this egg
06:22is about to hatch.
06:23I don't know
06:23how we're gonna
06:24take care
06:24of a baby dinosaur.
06:26I've been doing
06:26some thinking.
06:27All we have to do
06:28is do another
06:28dinosaur show.
06:30See,
06:30that way,
06:30we have a chance
06:31to walk around,
06:32ask a few questions
06:32and nobody
06:33gets suspicious.
06:34Brilliant idea.
06:35Uh-huh,
06:35and I got a great idea
06:36for the first segment.
06:37Well,
06:37now,
06:37just a minute
06:38before you get started
06:38on that,
06:39remember titles.
06:40We always start
06:41our shows
06:41with titles.
06:42you're right.
06:46Art department,
06:47please.
06:47Yeah,
06:48this is Eric.
06:49Hi,
06:50Larry.
06:50Hey,
06:51we need titles
06:52ASAP.
06:53Uh-huh,
06:54we're gonna do
06:55another one
06:55of those
06:55dinosaur shows.
06:57No,
06:58I'm not kidding.
06:59I'll ask.
07:00Hang on.
07:01Hey,
07:02Garrett,
07:02what are we gonna
07:02call it?
07:03How about
07:05Son of Dinosaurs?
08:17Hello,
08:18Eric and I
08:18are standing here
08:19at the wonderful
08:20Western Stunt Show
08:21at one of America's
08:22great amusement parks,
08:24Knott's Berry Park.
08:25And ever since
08:26this world-famous
08:27park opened,
08:27they've kept the
08:28excitement of
08:29the old West alive
08:30by showing us
08:31what life was like
08:31in these here parts
08:33a hundred years ago.
08:41But recently,
08:43the people here
08:43at Knott's
08:44decided to take us
08:45on a trip
08:45further back in time.
08:47Yeah,
08:47like one hundred
08:48million years
08:49back in time.
08:56Oh,
08:57it's horrible!
08:58It's been
08:58sick!
08:58I can't believe
08:59those three things
08:59at the end of the
09:00street!
09:02That's right!
09:03Knott's has been
09:04invaded by
09:06dinosaurs!
09:10It's a curious thing
09:11to bring life
09:12to those magnificent
09:13animals from
09:14Earth's ancient past.
09:16Man must use
09:17the most high-tech
09:17and state-of-the-art
09:18technologies available.
09:20Those who had the job
09:21of creating the
09:22creatures for the ride
09:23used computers
09:24to help figure out
09:25the robotics
09:25that would serve
09:26as the skeletons
09:27and muscles
09:28inside the beasts.
09:30Once that was done,
09:31striving to make them
09:32as lifelike as possible,
09:34craftsmen and artists
09:35added the fur,
09:36scales,
09:37and other finishing
09:38touches to the
09:39early mammals,
09:40cavemen,
09:41and reptiles
09:42you would expect
09:43to encounter
09:43on a trip back
09:45through three hundred
09:46million years.
09:49Meanwhile,
09:50at Knott's,
09:51in a huge
09:52cavernous building,
09:54the prehistoric
09:54landscapes and
09:55settings were being
09:57built to house
09:57the ride that
09:58would become
09:59Kingdom of the
10:01Dinosaurs.
10:11The End of the Line
10:12Wait a minute,
10:12we're doing a
10:12television show here.
10:14It's okay.
10:14We don't care.
10:15Eric, Eric, Eric,
10:16come on now.
10:17You've already
10:17ridden it twelve times
10:18in this week.
10:19Hey, come on.
10:20Thanks a lot.
10:20You got me in trouble now.
10:21Okay, sorry girls.
10:23Sorry.
10:23Come on now, back.
10:24Okay, come on, Eric.
10:26I mean, you know,
10:26this is, oh, here we are.
10:27There's the end of the line.
10:28You know, this would be
10:29a perfect time to tell everybody.
10:30It's too long.
10:31Well, no, it's not
10:31too long at all.
10:32This would be a perfect
10:33time to tell everybody
10:34what a great time
10:35we had opening day.
10:37Eric and I were,
10:38of course, honored
10:39when asked to be
10:40the Masters of Ceremonies.
10:42And we had loads of fun
10:44with a theme park
10:45filled with dino lovers.
10:47There were dedication,
10:49entertainment,
10:51and then a parade
10:52befitting the occasion.
10:54And there's Snoopy
10:55heading up the procession.
11:03And there behind Snoopy
11:05is a whole group
11:06of cavemen
11:06leading a giant
11:08Styrofoamosaurus
11:09down the street.
11:18The Styrofoamosaurus
11:19and the cavemen
11:20come from the
11:21Santa Barbara
11:21Summer Solstice Celebration.
11:23It's their belief,
11:24by the way,
11:25that extinction
11:25is only a myth
11:26and their mind
11:27motto is
11:27Dino Until You're Sore.
11:39Okay, now,
11:40let's hear it for Snoopy,
11:42because now it's time
11:43to make our way over
11:43to the entrance of the ride
11:45where Marion Mott
11:46and Terry Van Gorder
11:47are about ready
11:48not to cut the ribbon,
11:49but more appropriately,
11:51break the bone
11:52to officially open the ride.
11:54There it is!
12:13Well, that was opening day.
12:15Eric, you better hurry!
12:16They're holding my car.
12:17I gotta go.
12:18Oh, I love this.
12:20I love this.
12:22Here we are.
12:25Here we go.
12:28Okay, here we go.
12:30What incarnation is happening?
12:33What are you doing
12:33in my laboratory?
12:35My time machine is on!
12:37No!
12:38No!
12:38Go back!
12:39We're gonna go back
12:41in time.
12:48Look, it looks like
12:49a cake couple.
12:51They could be
12:52Cro-Magnet.
12:53It could be.
12:55Yeah, because they're
12:56too good looking
12:56to be in the enderfall.
12:57I think you're right.
12:59Yeah.
13:01Wait a minute, Gary.
13:02It's getting colder.
13:03Yes.
13:03We could be like
13:0428,000 years ago,
13:06back with the last
13:07great ice age.
13:08Chill here.
13:08You know, a lot of
13:10the great prehistoric
13:11species didn't survive
13:12the cold.
13:13I can understand
13:14why.
13:15Yeah.
13:15Ooh!
13:22A sloth!
13:23There it is,
13:24a sloth.
13:24Hey!
13:25A three-toed sloth!
13:26Yes!
13:29There's a woolly mammoth
13:30stuck in the tar.
13:32So that's what
13:33the La Brea tar pits
13:34probably were like.
13:35I guess so.
13:36Get ready to talk.
13:37That's a pretty mean
13:38saber-toothed can
13:39up ahead.
13:45Saber-toothed executive.
13:47Yes.
13:51I mean, it's uncanny,
13:52but they really have
13:53done an amazing job
13:53recreating.
13:54This is the same stuff
13:56that you'd see back
13:56in those days,
13:57I suppose.
13:58Gary.
13:59Do you know how far
14:00back we've gone?
14:01I don't know.
14:01This is 200 million years.
14:03That's a Dimitrodon.
14:05You're right, it is.
14:06200 million years ago.
14:07200 million years.
14:10Hey, look.
14:11There's the first
14:11true dinosaur we've seen.
14:14Yeah, it's a Struthio memus.
14:15You know,
14:16one of those ostrich-like
14:17dinosaurs from the
14:18Triassic period.
14:19Wow, it's guarding
14:21a nest full of eggs.
14:22That is a nest there.
14:24That's great.
14:25You know,
14:25those eggs aren't very big.
14:27Well,
14:27Mr. Struthio memus
14:28wasn't a very big dinosaur.
14:30I know.
14:31Bigger eggs
14:31probably mean bigger dinos
14:33if you catch my bird.
14:35Ooh,
14:35I see your point.
14:37We've moved later
14:38into the Mesozoic era,
14:39into the age
14:40when the giant
14:40dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
14:57There it is,
14:59Tyrannosaurus Rex.
15:13Well,
15:13that should make
15:14a good first segment.
15:15Yep.
15:16Let's move on.
15:17Okay.
15:17All right,
15:18we can move on now.
15:19Next stop,
15:20Canada.
15:21Oh,
15:21just a minute.
15:21Could you stop
15:22in Encino first?
15:39You know,
15:40I think these tickets
15:40go a couple of cars back.
15:42Okay.
15:43You know,
15:43Gare,
15:44that doctor,
15:45what's his name,
15:45like,
15:45is just being paranoid.
15:47I mean,
15:47there's no suspicious
15:48looking characters here.
15:49Well,
15:49no,
15:50but he's one of the
15:50oddest people
15:51that I've ever met.
15:52I think we better
15:52just play it cool
15:53because he may be
15:54on the level.
15:55So let's just
15:55go ahead with our
15:56plans.
15:57He's so crazy.
16:04Gary,
16:05yeah,
16:06I like this.
16:06First class.
16:07Oh,
16:07it's beautiful,
16:07isn't it?
16:08Here are the tickets.
16:12There we go.
16:14Boy,
16:14this is some
16:15great old train,
16:16isn't it?
16:20Oh,
16:21is this
16:21your first time
16:23in the United States?
16:27Are you here
16:28as a tourist
16:28or strictly business?
16:34I'd say
16:35strictly business.
16:37Well,
16:37well,
16:37well,
16:38if it isn't
16:39our two
16:40dinosaur guys.
16:41Well,
16:41that's us.
16:43That's us.
16:43Yes.
16:43And you just
16:44started working
16:45on another one
16:45of those weird
16:46shows you two do?
16:47Right.
16:48On those weird
16:49shows we do?
16:50And I trust
16:51everything is
16:52running smoothly,
16:54nothing unusual
16:55going on?
16:56Oh,
16:56no,
16:56no,
16:57everything is
16:57just going
16:58very,
16:58very smooth.
16:59Right,
17:00Eric?
17:00No,
17:00like a breeze.
17:02Good,
17:02good,
17:02and I see
17:03you had no
17:03trouble finding
17:04the seats
17:05I arranged for you?
17:06You arranged
17:06these seats?
17:07Just a minute,
17:08I thought these
17:08were from the
17:08production company
17:09for our documentary.
17:10Yes,
17:11but unfortunately
17:11their request
17:12never reached
17:13its destination.
17:15Come on now.
17:15Hey,
17:15I don't know
17:16what's going on
17:16here,
17:17but tampering
17:18with the U.S.
17:18mail is a
17:19federal offense,
17:20mister.
17:21Really?
17:22Well,
17:23I just feel
17:24terrible about that.
17:26You know,
17:27the word is
17:27that you two
17:28had a visitor
17:28recently.
17:29Visitor?
17:30No,
17:30no,
17:31no,
17:31no.
17:31I think
17:31you mean
17:32Gary's
17:32and Debbie
17:34and Myrna
17:35and my aunt
17:35I think
17:36you know
17:37who I need.
17:39Who do you
17:40think that
17:40we think
17:41you mean?
17:42I think
17:42you two
17:43know
17:45exactly
17:46who I need.
17:49It seems
17:50that a certain
17:51Dr. Lizardi
17:52gave you something,
17:54something I've
17:55been sent to,
17:56let us say,
17:58acquire
17:59for my country.
18:01To Lizardi,
18:02no,
18:02it doesn't
18:02ring a bell.
18:05And I've been
18:06authorized to
18:07offer a rather
18:08substantial
18:09something.
18:09Oh,
18:10really?
18:11Well,
18:11I wish we
18:11could help,
18:12sir,
18:12but there
18:13must be
18:13some mistake.
18:15Yeah.
18:18So,
18:19this is
18:20how you
18:20want to play it.
18:22But it is
18:22important for you
18:23to realize
18:24that I've
18:24been ordered
18:25to do
18:25whatever is
18:25necessary
18:26to accomplish
18:27my mission.
18:29So,
18:43gentlemen,
18:45there will be
18:46another time,
18:47another place,
18:49and I will do
18:51whatever
18:52is necessary.
18:57What did we
18:58get ourselves
18:58into this time?
19:00I don't know,
19:00Eric.
19:00I just don't
19:01know.
19:03I wonder
19:04when that's
19:04going to happen.
19:06Oh,
19:06just a minute.
19:07Just a minute.
19:08Oh,
19:09boy,
19:09I wonder who that
19:10is.
19:11Oh,
19:11be careful.
19:12There we go.
19:13There we go.
19:13I'm coming.
19:15I'm coming.
19:17Who is it?
19:18It's Dave.
19:19Dave.
19:21Oh,
19:21hi.
19:22Hey,
19:22how are you,
19:23Mr. Owens?
19:23I'm fine,
19:24sir.
19:24How are you
19:24doing?
19:25Oh,
19:25everything's fine.
19:26I see you have
19:26a new place here,
19:27huh?
19:27Well,
19:28it isn't mine.
19:29It isn't mine,
19:29Dave.
19:30It's Eric's,
19:30and I'm helping
19:31him to fix it up
19:32while he's on
19:32location.
19:33Oh,
19:33I see.
19:33Yeah,
19:33come on,
19:34right in.
19:34Oh,
19:35just a minute.
19:35My boy's out
19:36from the truck.
19:36Oh,
19:37really?
19:37Well,
19:37have him come
19:38in,
19:38too.
19:38You,
19:39Phil,
19:39come on in.
19:42I hope you
19:42don't mind,
19:49but he was his
19:50way.
19:50He'd sit around
19:51the house
19:51all day long
19:52watching the
19:52booth.
19:53Oh,
19:54here's Bill now.
19:54Well,
19:55it's certainly
19:55nice of you
19:55to come along
19:56and help
19:56your dad.
19:58Nice to meet
19:59you.
19:59Yeah,
20:00same here.
20:01Hey,
20:01haven't I seen
20:02you on TV?
20:03Yes,
20:03thank you.
20:04So,
20:05let's get to
20:06work,
20:06huh?
20:07Well,
20:07sure,
20:07come on in.
20:08Come on in
20:08right over here.
20:12Now,
20:12the back bedroom's
20:13over there
20:13to the right,
20:14and why don't you
20:15start by putting
20:15some shades up
20:16on the windows?
20:17You got it.
20:17Okay.
20:18Hey,
20:18what's that?
20:20Oh,
20:20that's a satellite
20:21feed from Canada.
20:22What,
20:23you have some
20:23sort of close
20:24circuit TV
20:24hooked up here?
20:25Well,
20:25that's right.
20:26That's how I
20:26can keep an eye
20:27on what Eric
20:27is up to.
20:28Now,
20:28there's the
20:29Calgary skyline,
20:30as you can see.
20:31So,
20:31Eric is doing
20:32part of a
20:33dinosaur show
20:33up in Canada,
20:34and we're
20:35going to see
20:35it now?
20:36You're right
20:36again.
20:37Now,
20:37that is the
20:37Calgary skyline,
20:39as you can see,
20:39and there's the
20:40entrance to the
20:41beautiful
20:41dinosaur
20:42prehistoric park.
20:45Wow.
20:50Oh,
20:51look,
20:51look,
20:51there's Eric
20:52now.
20:53Yes,
20:54that's right.
20:54Eric has
20:55entered one
20:55of the world's
20:56best prehistoric
20:57parks.
20:58With its
20:58beautifully detailed
20:59statues and
21:00dramatic landscapes,
21:01you feel as if
21:02you've been
21:03transported back
21:03to the Mesozoic
21:05era.
21:18And one of the
21:19most interesting
21:19things about this
21:20prehistoric park is
21:21in addition to your
21:22old favorite dinosaurs
21:23like Triceratops,
21:24they've got dinosaurs
21:25you don't see every
21:26day, like the
21:27Ankyliosaur.
21:28Now, that means
21:29fused lizard.
21:31Though he appears
21:31vicious, he was a
21:32docile plant eater,
21:33built like a
21:34living battle
21:35tank.
21:35Now, these spikes
21:36and horns protected
21:37him from the roving
21:38meat-eating predators,
21:39the carnivores, or as
21:40we say in the
21:41dinosaur trade,
21:41carnosaurs.
21:43Hey, look at the
21:44tail on this guy.
21:46That could hurt.
21:47Another unusual
21:48dinosaur they have
21:49here is the
21:50Edmontosaurus, and
21:51as everybody knows,
21:52it was named
21:52after, uh...
21:53Edmonton.
21:54Edmonton, thank
21:55you.
21:55The town of
21:56Edmonton, I
21:56appreciate that.
21:57Who are you?
21:58Sean, Sean
21:59Britton.
21:59Sean Britton, are
22:00you from Edmonton?
22:02Edmonton?
22:02Yeah.
22:03Calgary.
22:04Oh, you're a
22:05Calgarite.
22:06Calgarian.
22:07A Calgarian, fine.
22:08Okay.
22:10Now, this dinosaur was
22:11a duck-billed dinosaur,
22:12and I'm sure
22:12Calgarians know this.
22:14Now, I can't tell
22:15because his mouth is
22:16closed right now, but
22:16some of these guys had
22:18up to 1,500 teeth.
22:19Did you know that?
22:20Yes, I did.
22:20Oh.
22:21Okay, well, you know,
22:22I'm from the States,
22:22and lots of kids down
22:24there love Stegosaurus
22:25and Tyrannosaurus rex.
22:26As a Calgarian, what's
22:28your favorite dinosaur?
22:29Well, he's just over
22:30there.
22:31Let me go show him to
22:31you.
22:32Oh.
22:33Glad I ran into this guy.
22:36Okay, Sean, where is it?
22:38Right here.
22:40Wait a minute.
22:41You brought me all the
22:42way up here to see a
22:43Tyrannosaurus rex.
22:44It's a Tyrannosaurus.
22:46A Tyrannosaurus?
22:48Yeah.
22:48Never heard of it.
22:49Well, it's a relative
22:50to T-Rex.
22:51Yeah?
22:52Just, I don't understand.
22:53It's just as good,
22:54just as mean, ferocious,
22:56just as ugly-looking, too.
22:58I just don't understand
22:59why a T-Rex gets all
23:01the publicity.
23:02That's one of his
23:02babies, I suppose.
23:04What if that's the
23:04actual size?
23:05In fact, I wonder if
23:07he was just hatched.
23:08Let's go see a hoodoo.
23:10A hoodoo?
23:12Hoodoo.
23:12I don't even know what
23:12that is, but I'll bet
23:13you do.
23:14I do.
23:15I like this kid.
23:17Come on, show me a hoodoo.
23:21Right now, you're
23:22surrounded by hoodoos.
23:25These rock formations
23:26are hoodoos?
23:26Yep.
23:27They're formed by
23:28weathering and erosion
23:29of rock.
23:30Water comes along,
23:32washes away the
23:32softer soil, and that
23:34leaves the harder rock
23:35alone as hot.
23:36Ah, Sean, I don't
23:38want to be skeptical,
23:38but someone was
23:40having fun with their
23:41imagination when they
23:41made these things,
23:42weren't they?
23:42No, these are
23:43recreations of actual
23:44rock formations.
23:46They're real hoodoos?
23:47Mm-hmm.
23:47Where?
23:48All over Alberta.
23:49Name one place in
23:50Alberta I can find a
23:51hoodoo.
23:52Dinosaur Provincial Park.
23:54Thank you, Sean.
23:56Dinosaur Provincial Park,
23:57my next stop.
24:04It is desolate out here.
24:07It's been a living soul
24:08for miles.
24:32Hi, I'm Eric.
24:33You must be Jim.
24:34Nice to meet you, Eric.
24:35My pleasure.
24:35Before we go out to the
24:37excavation site, there's
24:39one display in the field
24:40station here I'm sure
24:41you'd be interested in
24:42seeing.
24:43Hey, who are these guys?
24:45This is Styrachosaurus,
24:46one of the orange
24:47dinosaurs.
24:48Hey, Styrachy.
24:51This is the one I was
24:52telling you about.
24:53This scene depicts
24:55Lambiosaurus being attacked
24:56by a pack of Dromaeosaurs.
24:59I mean, what's great is
24:59we're actually seeing the
25:00dinosaur as an action,
25:01just stiff.
25:02Yeah, that's relatively
25:03new.
25:04They used to be in very
25:05stiff, formal-looking
25:06poses, but only now are
25:08we getting into showing
25:10actual scenes that might
25:11have happened.
25:12What's amazing is just
25:13like today, the lions
25:14feeding on zebras in
25:15Africa.
25:15Yep, that's exactly
25:16right.
25:17Wow.
25:18So we should go out to
25:19the dinosaur dig site
25:20we're working on.
25:20All right.
25:21Ha-ha.
25:27It is a hot, dry day
25:29as Jim and I make the
25:31trek across this barren
25:32and rugged terrain.
25:34And I'm beginning to
25:35understand why this area
25:36is known as the Badlands.
25:38And Sean was right.
25:40There are hoodoos out
25:41here.
25:45Hey, a baby hoodoo?
25:47No, sorry, Eric.
25:48Oh, I'll try it.
25:51You know, what was this
25:52area like during the age
25:53of the dinosaurs?
25:54Just like this?
25:54No, this is all erosion
25:56caused by meltwater from
25:58the last glaciers.
25:59And what it was like in
26:01the Cretaceous would be a
26:03delta swamp area similar
26:04to what you've got in
26:05the Mississippi Delta
26:06today.
26:07Swamps?
26:08Huh.
26:08Yeah, that's it.
26:11Okay, Jim, how much
26:12farther?
26:12Well, just over the hill
26:13here.
26:14Oh, how?
26:16What are we finding
26:17here?
26:18These are the bones of a
26:20horned dinosaur called
26:21Centrosaurus.
26:23Centrosaurus.
26:23That was a new one to me.
26:24What did he look like?
26:26He's a horned dinosaur
26:27similar to Triceratops,
26:29but a little bit smaller
26:31than that.
26:32Okay.
26:33Well, I want to see the
26:34technique.
26:35I want to see exactly what
26:36the folks are doing.
26:40Well, they're doing the
26:42removing the final
26:43rock from the bones
26:45after we've removed the
26:47overburden with large
26:49power tools and jack
26:50hammers.
26:51Okay, the overburden is
26:52the rock we find on top,
26:53and this was, what, at
26:54least two or three feet
26:55down?
26:56Yeah, that's right.
26:57Okay.
27:01Okay, Jim, I understand
27:02the chipping, I understand
27:03the sweeping, but what's
27:04this?
27:05This is the glue that we
27:06use to hold the bone
27:08together, and it's thinned
27:09down with acetone so that
27:11it penetrates into all the
27:12cracks and the marrow
27:14structure of the bone to
27:15hold everything together.
27:17You mentioned the
27:18Centrosaurus that we found
27:19here, a herd of them.
27:20What other creatures do we
27:21find in this area?
27:22Well, there was a whole
27:24range of dinosaurs, duck-billed
27:26dinosaurs, the meat-eaters,
27:28such as Albertosaurus, and the
27:30small meat-eating dinosaurs,
27:32the armored dinosaurs, ankylosaurs,
27:34the ornithomimid bird-mimic
27:37dinosaurs, as well as a whole
27:39range of smaller animals,
27:41such as lizards, snakes,
27:44crocodiles, a variety of
27:46turtles, and even some
27:48small mammals.
27:50Here's a dumb question, maybe
27:52it's the most obvious of all.
27:54You found the excavation site
27:55here, but how do you know
27:57just where to dig?
27:58Well, the erosion has done
28:00most of the work for us, and
28:01the bones are weathering out
28:03and being exposed on the
28:04hillsides throughout
28:05Dinosaur Park, so we look
28:07for bones weathering out of
28:08the sides of the hills.
28:09So you're walking along,
28:10you go, ah, there's a bone.
28:11Let's dig here.
28:13See, I could be a
28:14paleontologist.
28:17Jim, Jim, I found
28:19something.
28:19Ha, ha.
28:21Okay.
28:22Okay, is that a bone?
28:23Sorry, it's only a stick.
28:26Okay, so I won't be a
28:27paleontologist.
28:28Thank you, Jim.
28:30A stick.
28:35Well, it is a neat place.
28:36Well, I guess we better get
28:37out of here.
28:37You're leaving?
28:38Why?
28:39Well, Eric's headed back.
28:40You've already got half
28:41hours worth of program.
28:43Oh, uh, uh, yes.
28:45Well, one thing I forgot to
28:46tell you, uh, this is going
28:47to be a two-parter.
28:48Two-parter, so you've got
28:49plenty of time.
28:50Now, as soon as Eric lands
28:51at the Los Angeles airport,
28:53he's going to go rent a
28:53tuxedo, and then we'll
28:55begin the second half.
28:56Great.
28:57I can hardly wait.
29:06Good evening.
29:07I'm Gary Owens.
29:08And I'm Eric Boardman.
29:09And we're here at the start
29:10of another big dinosaur
29:11special, and what better
29:12place than one of the
29:13world's great social events?
29:15That's right.
29:16We're here at the Natural
29:17History Museum of Los Angeles
29:18County for the annual
29:19Dinosaur Ball.
29:21And what a splendid event
29:22this is.
29:37What a great evening.
29:38Oh, yeah.
29:39You know, the thing is
29:39that's so nice, Eric, is
29:40that there are 800 people
29:42here tonight, or maybe more
29:43for all I know, and they
29:44all support the Natural
29:45History Museum.
29:46That's how they get the
29:47contribution.
29:47Keeps the research going.
29:49I'm going to go over and
29:49check out that new dinosaur
29:50from China, if it's okay
29:51with you.
29:52Okay, well, I'm going over
29:52here, and I'll see you in
29:53about five minutes.
29:54Terrific.
29:54All right.
30:02Is that the Chinese
30:04dinosaur?
30:06No, the Australian dinosaur.
30:09Jimmy Stewart.
30:12Glorious Stewart.
30:13Hi.
30:14I'm Eric Boardman.
30:15What an honor to meet you.
30:16Nice to meet you.
30:17And, of course, you're here
30:18at the museum because of the
30:19dinosaur ball.
30:20That's right.
30:21Our big celebration, Diamond
30:22Jubilee.
30:23It's so important to keep
30:25the funds going, so we can
30:26keep museums like this going.
30:28It's a wonderful museum.
30:30One of the finest in the world.
30:31Oh, absolutely.
30:33And I don't hold you up
30:34any longer, Mr. Stewart,
30:35but can I ask you, what's
30:36your favorite dinosaur?
30:38Yes, the Bratosaurus.
30:40I would have guessed you
30:41as a Bratosaurus man.
30:42He's a natural.
30:44Gloria, how about you?
30:45What's your favorite?
30:46I'll go along with Jimmy.
30:48Oh, I was going to guess you
30:49for a Stegosaurus, but anyway.
30:50Stegosaurus, you might have,
30:52but I can't pronounce it.
30:54Anyway, how nice to meet you.
30:58Thank you very much.
30:59Enjoy the ball.
31:00We'll go around, look around.
31:06Did you see who that was?
31:07Oh, what an exciting evening.
31:11That's funny.
31:12I too felt that this would
31:14turn out to be an egg-citing evening.
31:18I don't know about you,
31:20but every time I get to dress
31:22all in black like this,
31:24it makes me think of funerals.
31:29Yes.
31:38Oh, you're Gary Owens, aren't you?
31:40Yes, I am.
31:41Some party, huh?
31:42Oh, it's lovely.
31:44You know, I have seen
31:45some of those dinosaur shows
31:46you've done,
31:47and sometimes you've mentioned
31:48that people are still
31:49out looking for them.
31:50Do you really think there is
31:52one still living
31:52and roaming around somewhere?
31:54I don't know.
31:54I guess all of us
31:55dinosaur aficionados
31:57really hope that there is.
31:59You know, there's certainly
31:59been enough controversy
32:00about the Loch Ness Monster
32:02over the years.
32:03It makes it seem possible.
32:05Do you mean people think
32:07the Loch Ness Monster
32:08is a dinosaur?
32:09Well, some say
32:10a giant eel,
32:11and many believe
32:12it's a plesiosaur, actually.
32:14I have a sore plesio
32:15right now.
32:16Really?
32:17Yes.
32:17But we have one right in here
32:19if you'd like to take a look.
32:20Well, I would love to.
32:21All right.
32:27Yes, good evening.
32:28Hello.
32:31See, here it is.
32:32Now, to be accurate,
32:33this isn't a true dinosaur.
32:35It isn't.
32:36No, no, but these huge
32:37marine reptiles
32:38lived at the same time.
32:40That's amazing.
32:41So, people really think
32:42that a creature like this
32:44is swimming silently
32:45in the depths of Loch Ness.
32:46Yes, this could be messy.
32:55Scotland's Loch Ness
32:57was formed
32:57at the end
32:58of the last ice age.
33:00It's 24 miles long
33:01and filled with
33:02murky, peach-stained water.
33:05If you want to believe
33:06a lake is inhabited
33:07by some sort of monster,
33:08you couldn't ask
33:09for a better place.
33:11Sea serpent sightings
33:13have been part of mythology
33:14and folklore
33:15all over the world
33:16for centuries.
33:17The first recorded sighting
33:19at Loch Ness
33:19was in the year
33:20525 AD
33:22by an Irish saint,
33:24no less.
33:24It is estimated
33:25that there has been
33:26around 10,000 sightings
33:28all in all.
33:29They still continue today.
33:32It was a flat, calm evening
33:33and just out in the bay here
33:36you could see this
33:37churning motion in the water
33:39and being so quiet
33:41in the evening
33:41you could actually hear
33:43a slapping noise
33:44like a flipper noise
33:46like a beat
33:47and progressed
33:49I would say
33:50about 12 knots
33:52roughly
33:53right across
33:54front of the castle
33:55across to the other bay there.
33:58Now there were no
33:59absolutely no boats
34:00on the loch.
34:00It was flat, calm
34:02and it was
34:04an undulating movement
34:05in the water
34:06whatever it was
34:07was powered below the water
34:08you don't have to be a scientist
34:10to work that one out.
34:13People travel
34:14from all over the world
34:15to ponder the mystery
34:16that so many say
34:18lies at the bottom
34:19of the loch
34:21and they may even hope
34:22to be the next
34:23to catch a glimpse
34:24of the elusive monster
34:28but most will have
34:29to settle
34:29for a copy
34:30of one of the famous
34:31photographs of Nessie
34:32or another souvenir.
34:34Cynics may say
34:35that legend of Nessie
34:37has been kept alive
34:38as a gimmick
34:38to bring tourism
34:39to this remote part
34:40of Scotland
34:41but then
34:42why is there
34:43an official
34:44Loch Ness
34:44Phenomenon
34:45Investigation Bureau?
34:47Suddenly I looked
34:48and there
34:49came out of a loch
34:50was this huge shape
34:52massive shape
34:54brown
34:55green colour
34:56huge
34:57and it then
34:58zomped back
34:59into the loch
35:00and then
35:01the loch was flat
35:01calm
35:02and what I saw
35:03then was
35:03waves about
35:0418 inches high
35:06going to each
35:07side of the loch.
35:08Did I see the monster?
35:09I don't know
35:10but I do believe
35:12that you know
35:13I saw
35:13I obviously saw
35:14some things
35:15and nobody's been able
35:16to tell me
35:16what I saw.
35:18There have been
35:19several scientific
35:20expeditions
35:21that had come
35:21to Loch Ness
35:22determined to solve
35:23this mystery
35:24once and for all.
35:25They have used
35:26television cameras
35:27they have used
35:28sonar
35:29and they have even
35:30used bait
35:30suitable for a monster
35:32but no Nessie.
35:34They did find though
35:35that the loch
35:35is much deeper
35:36than expected
35:38950 feet deep
35:39at one point
35:40and they found
35:41that there is
35:42a vast underwater
35:42cavern
35:43well they keep
35:45looking
35:45and maybe one day
35:47they will find
35:47Nessie
35:48or maybe
35:49Nessie
35:50will find them.
35:59Okay Judy
36:00you are
36:01the science
36:02education specialist
36:03so
36:03a Loch Ness
36:05monster
36:05could that be
36:05a dinosaur?
36:06Eric probably not
36:08the last dinosaur
36:09died off
36:09about 65 million
36:10years ago
36:11so it would be
36:12very old.
36:14Here we are
36:15at Stegi
36:16I love Stegosaurus
36:17it's my favorite
36:18I can identify
36:18with this guy
36:20Eric I hate
36:20to tell you
36:21but the Stegosaurus
36:22had the brain
36:23the size of a walnut
36:25yeah but
36:26he had a brain
36:27of both ends
36:27and I had two
36:28yeah that probably
36:30wasn't a brain
36:30it was more
36:31of a collection
36:31of nerves
36:32which just helped
36:32it move its tail
36:33which had armored
36:35spines for protection
36:36okay I'm going to prove
36:37I know something
36:38about Stegosaurus
36:39the plates on top
36:41those were
36:42protecting from enemies
36:43who try and eat him
36:46scientists now
36:46think the plates
36:47contained a lot
36:48of blood vessels
36:49and they help
36:50the animal warm up
36:51or cool down
36:52when he was cold
36:53he would line
36:55his body
36:55perpendicular to
36:56the rays of the sun
36:57the sun would strike
36:58him and warm up
36:59the blood vessels
37:00and warm up the body
37:01when he was too warm
37:02he could again
37:03align the plates
37:04so they would be
37:05in the wind
37:06and the wind
37:06would help him
37:06cool down
37:08well do they lay eggs?
37:11you know I don't
37:11know on that one
37:12but one of the latest
37:12theories is that
37:13the apatosaurus
37:14didn't lay eggs
37:15and that he had
37:15live young
37:35Gary you know it's
37:36really fascinating
37:37your interest
37:38in paleontology
37:39maybe you can tell
37:40us something about it
37:41well you know
37:42they seem to be making
37:43all kinds of new
37:43discoveries all the time
37:45and for decades
37:45everyone thought
37:46diplodocus was the
37:47biggest dinosaur
37:48I guess we thought
37:49that and a few years
37:50back we had
37:52ultrasaurus and now
37:53recently some tail
37:54bones were found
37:55and they're calling
37:56them seismosaurus
37:59this is one of the
38:00this is one of the eight
38:00tail bones that we found
38:02for the animal that we're
38:03now calling seismosaurus
38:05this was a dinosaur
38:06very much like
38:07brontosaurus or
38:08diplodocus or
38:09camarasaurus that many
38:10of you know
38:11from your studies
38:12and this was a
38:13tail bone from near
38:14the front of the tail
38:15and we can look at
38:17this tail and
38:18calculate the length
38:19and the height
38:20and we can figure out
38:21that the animal was
38:22probably at least
38:23110 feet long
38:24and maybe as long
38:25as 140 feet
38:27now here is an artist's
38:28rendering of the dinosaur
38:30dr. Gillette is talking
38:31about
38:31now to really understand
38:33how big they think
38:35this creature was
38:35here is a man
38:37and an elephant
38:38and here they are
38:39next to a seismosaurus
38:40it is estimated that
38:42it eats 7,000 pounds
38:44of food a day
38:45and it weighed
38:46something like
38:4680 tons
38:47which is huge
38:48didn't it
38:49it's fascinating
38:50do you do this
38:51by yourself
38:52you certainly must
38:52have a co-host
38:53oh no
38:53I have a wonderful
38:54co-host
38:55Eric Bordman
38:56but I have no idea
38:57where he is
38:57he's around here
38:58somewhere
38:59I just don't know
38:59where
39:00it's really
39:01a good time
39:02interesting dinosaurs
39:03because there's so much
39:04going on in the field
39:05there's so many people
39:07out there
39:07that aren't looking
39:08at dinosaurs
39:09as something to put
39:10in a museum
39:11a big display
39:12but how dinosaurs
39:14actually live
39:15excuse me Cynthia
39:16Eric aren't you
39:17supposed to catch
39:17a plane
39:20you're right
39:20I must go

39:28stay here for a while
39:29now Cynthia
39:29you were telling me
39:30so much about
39:31dinosaurs
39:31just that we're not
39:31learning so much
39:32about dinosaur behavior
39:33it really makes
39:34them come alive
39:47hey can somebody
39:48come in here
39:48and hold something
39:49for me

40:31in such a hurry
40:32oh Mr. Owens
40:33they're starting
40:34another transmission
40:35you better get
40:36back in here

40:40okay
40:43oh
40:44here comes the feed
40:45oh really
40:46hey what kind
40:46of dinosaur is that
40:47oh uh
40:48that's an Albertosaurus
40:49that's the one
40:49that was unveiled
40:50in front of the
40:51football field
40:51a couple of days ago
40:52now it's standing
40:53guard in front of
40:53that museum
40:54in Albuquerque
40:54I'm standing here
40:55in the magnificent
40:56entry hall
40:57and here to greet us
40:58is Quetzalcoatlus
41:00the world's largest
41:01flying reptile
41:02or pterosaur
41:04his wingspan
41:05was 33 feet
41:06weighed over
41:07150 pounds
41:08and lived back
41:09in the Cretaceous period
41:11100 million years ago
41:13now imagine
41:14a whole flock
41:15of these guys
41:16flying overhead
41:17wow
41:18now I want to show
41:20you something else
41:21when you come
41:22to the museum
41:23they give you
41:23a polage viewer
41:24these are great
41:25and every exhibit
41:26is a work of art
41:26and if you hold
41:28this up
41:28and look through it
41:29it reveals all sorts
41:30of hidden pictures
41:31and colors
41:32this is neat
41:34oh I'm sorry
41:36I think I should
41:37show you too
41:37huh
41:40pretty cool
41:43that's a polage
41:45viewer
41:49polarization
41:49in action
41:50in action
42:33we now find ourselves
42:34in the middle
42:34of the Triassic period
42:35that's about 225 million years ago
42:38the dawn of the dinosaurs
42:40and with me
42:41is one of the noted experts
42:42in that period
42:42Dr. Dave Gillette
42:43who is curator
42:45of paleontology
42:46here at the museum
42:46and also
42:47if you remember earlier
42:48the man behind
42:49the seismosaur
42:50anyway
42:51Dr. Gillette
42:52thank you for being here
42:53now I look at this mural
42:54is this what New Mexico
42:55was like back
42:56in the Triassic period
42:57this mural shows
42:58what the southwestern
42:59United States
42:59was like
43:00in the latter part
43:01of the Triassic period
43:02about 225 million years ago
43:04and these animals
43:05were the ones
43:06that lived alongside
43:07the earliest dinosaurs
43:08which included
43:09Coelophysis
43:09now wait
43:10you said
43:11they lived alongside
43:12so these weren't
43:13all dinosaurs
43:14now
43:14that's right
43:15these were not
43:15all dinosaurs
43:16the only dinosaur
43:16in this picture
43:17is Coelophysis
43:18shown here
43:18as members
43:18of this herd
43:20all the other animals
43:21are thecodont reptiles
43:22or amphibians
43:24well what really
43:24distinguishes those
43:26from dinosaurs
43:27what makes it a dinosaur
43:28the best definition
43:30for dinosaurs
43:30is found in the ankle
43:31and the hip joint
43:32and so they're
43:33very technical definitions
43:34all of the thecodont reptiles
43:37had sockets
43:39in their teeth
43:39and those sockets
43:41helped hold the teeth
43:42in place
43:43and so all the thecodonts
43:44are related
43:44in that fashion
43:45now one thing
43:45was true
43:46in this period
43:46is the creatures
43:47were not as large
43:48as the ones we see
43:49in the Jurassic period
43:50well that's right
43:50in the Triassic
43:52the dinosaurs
43:52were small
43:53but other animals
43:54like this giant
43:55thecodont reptile
43:56which was a predator
43:58that competed
43:58with Coelophysis
43:59it got to 25
44:01or 30 feet
44:02in length
44:02and the crocodile
44:03like animals
44:05called phytosaurs
44:06also got to
44:07nearly 30 feet
44:08in length
44:09and had a skull
44:09as big as Tyrannosaurus
44:11I'm curious
44:12the thecodont reptile
44:13was so big
44:14and this guy
44:15was so small
44:16what happened to him
44:17why'd he die out
44:18thecodont reptiles
44:19were successful
44:20for a long time
44:20but the dinosaurs
44:21were successful
44:22for a longer time
44:23because
44:24because they were faster
44:26they ate better
44:27they ate better food
44:28or there was more
44:28more habitat
44:30for them to live in
44:31for some reason
44:32they made it
44:33for a longer period
44:34than the thecodonts
44:35and the thecodonts
44:35didn't survive
44:36when the dinosaurs did
44:38okay
44:38now recently
44:39they found a nest
44:40of eggs
44:40from the Cretaceous period
44:42in Minnesota
44:42there was another
44:43discovery of a nest
44:45of eggs
44:45up in Drumheller
44:46Canada
44:47have they ever found
44:48eggs from the
44:49Triassic period
44:49as far as I know
44:50there are no eggs
44:51known in the Triassic
44:52hmm
44:52that's a real puzzle
44:53for us
44:54we'd like to know
44:54more about them
44:55if we could find
44:55the eggs associated
44:56with bones
44:57he would tell us
44:57a lot more
44:58about how dinosaurs
44:59lived
44:59but if you do find one
45:01would you call me
45:01oh I'd be delighted
45:02you'll be the first
45:03one to know
45:04well that's all

47:07red haired fellow
47:08with the TV crew
47:10yes
47:11yes I'll wait
47:12thank you
47:20yep here we are
47:21in the Jurassic period
47:24150 million years ago
47:26wow
47:28up
47:28Stegosaurus
47:29how you doing Steggy
47:34you must be Eric Boardman
47:36yeah I am
47:36who are you
47:37John Callender
47:37the director of the museum
47:38oh an honor to meet you
47:40glad to have you
47:40we got a great Jurassic period here
47:42I'm curious about the Allosaurus
47:44can you tell me some stuff about him
47:45well Allosaurus is one of the more primo
47:48the carnivores of the period of time
47:50he's sort of a cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex
47:52but a good deal earlier than Tyrannosaurus rex
47:54and you can see he was a carnivore
47:56because he's got those good old teeth there
47:58and he's got some wonderful grippers up front
48:00so those claws were used to hunt
48:01or to hold his prey
48:02hold the prey while he could take a bite
48:04he also used it obviously in positioning himself
48:07although these dinosaurs were
48:09they moved on their back legs
48:11the front legs were not a
48:13you know they were not a four-footed animal
48:14did they run or did they leap
48:16they ran and this guy leaped
48:17as they got older and bigger
48:19they tended to be more runners and less leapers
48:21but we kind of kid about this being
48:23sort of like a road runner of this period of time
48:25beep beep
48:25yeah exactly
48:26now this mural in the back is just wonderful
48:28you really get a sense of what the world was like back then
48:32was it warm and humid or it looked like a swamp
48:34warm and humid
48:35but not so much a swamp
48:37as a big bend and a river that came through New Mexico
48:40about that time
48:41lots of green trees
48:44redwoods and palms and Norfolk pine and so forth
48:47so it was much more temperate than it would be today
48:49certainly not a desert environment
48:51I see so for a dinosaur to be healthy and happy today he would have to have warm humid climate
48:56right
48:56basically and lots to eat
48:59lots to eat
48:59lots to eat
49:00what do they eat
49:01well the guys like the big one here
49:03Camarasaurus and Steg
49:05they ate every piece of vegetation they could find
49:07uh-huh and how much were they eating a given day
49:09well some of them the bigger ones were a ton of a ton of material a day
49:13a ton
49:13right
49:14a thousand to two thousand pounds
49:15well John this is great
49:17this information could come in real handy
49:19well

52:19well
52:20what do you think it is
52:21well Dr. Lazardi says
52:22he thinks it's from the Jurassic period
52:24and obviously
52:25is a two-legged meat eater
52:27so it could be like an allosaurus
52:28yeah
52:29I was learning about allosaurus
52:30when you called him to Mexico
52:31I'm surprised
52:33what do you think it is
52:35well you see
52:36the bump
52:37at the end of his nose
52:38yeah
52:39that bump will turn
52:40into a horn
52:41what you've got here
52:43is a baby
52:44ceratosaurus
52:45ceratosaurus
52:46well
52:46that's in the family
52:47with the tyrannosauruses
52:48yes
52:49yes
52:49and as an adult
52:50it should reach
52:5220 feet in length
52:54and maybe weigh
52:563,000 to 4,000 pounds
