00:15In the depths of space, a threat is looming.
00:22Trapped between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars,
00:28the asteroid belt.
00:32One and a half million chunks of ancient rock circling the sun,
00:43drifting endlessly.
00:55But in a single moment of pure chance,
01:04one asteroid is thrown out of its orbit.
01:10A fleeting instant, millions of kilometers from Earth,
01:17sends it on a new trajectory
01:20towards the very center of our solar system.
01:34But its journey will come to a sudden and violent end,
01:41in one of the most catastrophic events in Earth's history.
01:50And the final chapter in the epic story of the dinosaurs.
01:58It was yours.
02:16Come here.
02:17the mysteries that were created
02:18is so much for the destruction of Earth's
02:19Yeah, that's it!
02:19You're, I'm so Reed!
02:19It's all that y'all!
02:21It's all that zooming in until you're eyes!
02:21I'm gonna die!
02:21It's all that y'all!
02:22So what do you want?
02:22I'm gonna die!
02:22I'm gonna die!
02:23I'm gonna die!
02:23I'm gonna die!
03:23It's three million years since the asteroid started its journey towards Earth.
03:30And the dinosaurs rule the planet.
03:35They dominate the land and are now entering the ocean as well.
03:44The high sea levels have split North America in two.
03:54Creating endless coastlines.
04:00Hundreds of tropical islands.
04:05And opportunity.
04:19But these islands are no paradise.
04:26They are home to a formidable predator.
04:34One of the fastest, most agile dinosaurs of its kind.
04:43North America's answer to the Spinosaurus.
05:00Just not in the way you would think.
05:02Not even remotely.
05:08This is Hesperonis.
05:12He is formidable.
05:15And he is fast.
05:20But he's pretty much the opposite of his giant, terrifying cousins.
05:35He's awkward.
05:37And clumsy.
05:41And has tiny teeth.
05:44Not exactly the traits of a ferocious hunter.
05:49But what he does share with Spinosaurus is that he's not confined to dry land.
06:04In fact, he's the most advanced aquatic dinosaur in history.
06:18Like some sort of prehistoric penguin, he's able to swim far out the sea to access feeding
06:26grounds that were previously out of reach.
06:52This is the bounty of his new blue realm.
06:57It's a bounty of the sky.
07:05Down here, his big clumsy feet become powerful propellers.
07:15And his 94-needle-shark teeth snatch fish with ease.
07:38But as an air breather, he's still tied to the surface.
07:55And the surface is not a safe place to linger.
08:04Because below, there are beasts, twice the size of a killer whale.
08:27The apex predators of these seas.
08:42Hesperonis must get back to the shore.
08:50But the Mosasaur moves with frightening speed.
08:56Luckily, Hesperonis is much more agile.
09:07But he's exhausted.
09:12Which gives the Mosasaur one last shot.
09:36Asperonis is a true survivor.
09:41Venturing further into the ocean than any dinosaur ever has.
09:49But these waters are treacherous, even for the best swimmers.
10:02Despite the dinosaur's success in the shadows, the Mosasaur's rule the waves.
10:19800 miles north, on land, it's a different story.
10:37Furelled by a warm, stable climate, the dinosaur's dominance here is unrivaled.
10:53The great sower ponds are thriving among the tall trees, as they have since the dawn of the Jurassic.
11:08But down below, there has been a revolution.
11:18A female handersaw.
11:25While she may be dwarfed in present company, she's actually larger than an elephant.
11:34And she won't be held up by these giants.
11:39Because nothing can stop a mother on a mission.
11:45And that mission is to feed her family.
11:52Who are somewhere down there.
12:07Long ago, their cheek-stuffing ancestors were scarce and scattered.
12:16But androsaurs are now so successful, their herds are thousands strong.
12:25The greatest gatherings of dinosaurs the world has ever known.
12:33But this female's family isn't traveling with the herd.
12:40They are in the safety of the creche.
12:43A sprawling nursery for hundreds of young hadrosaurs.
12:51Including her own.
12:58At six months old, they have insatiable appetites.
13:03And will eat almost anything she brings them.
13:11Anything.
13:24Feeding in this bird-like way takes a lot of refills.
13:30So, she's constantly leaving to go find food.
13:36And when moms are away, little ones will play.
14:05With the wingspan of a fighter jet, pterosaurs are now bigger.
14:11Than ever.
14:15And creches are the perfect hunting crowns.
14:19Where unguarded nests are the easiest pickings.
14:43Despite the threat from this towering monster, the mothers will defend their babies at all costs.
15:07But the giant pterosaur is determined to feed.
15:20The screams from the nest are like a dinner bell to the predator.
15:40But the little ones aren't just crying in fear.
15:45They're calling for help.
16:06This fierce instinct to protect their young is central to the hadrosaur's remarkable success.
16:18But other dinosaurs are taking defense to a whole new level.
16:26Because the arms race between predator and prey is escalating.
16:33And this will give rise to the most iconic dinosaurs of all time.
16:45This will take so long that the continent of North America will shift.
16:53The land buckling up into the sky.
17:06The Rocky Mountains.
17:11It's here in the foothills below that the dinosaurs are making an impact.
17:28Pachycephalosaurus.
17:31Using their outrageously thick skulls.
17:37Pachycephalosaurus.
17:39To do them for supremacy.
17:44Pachycephalosaurus.
17:46And alongside them, a dinosaur with even more impressive headgear.
18:00Pachycephalosaurusosaurus-
18:03Pachycephalosaurus.
18:11Pachycephalosaurus-
18:13But she's twice the size of one.
18:19And armed with spear-like horns over one meter in length.
18:33Triceratops and Pachycephalosaurus have impressive weapons.
18:40Yet there are some here.
18:43That are even more armed and dangerous.
18:58Under the cover of darkness.
19:01The latest and greatest of the armored warriors.
19:07Six meters long and highly territorial.
19:15Pachycephalosaurus.
19:17Magnivendris.
19:26He's on patrol for intruders.
19:31Bold enough to breach his borders.
19:43His tank-like torso is covered in dozens of thick, bony plates.
19:54And what's more, he has a powerful new weapon.
20:04A club-like tail, weighing half a ton, that he can use to take on whatever stalks these forests.
20:20He senses something.
20:22He senses something.
20:51His borders have been breached by the worst possible intruder of all.
21:02His borders have been breached.
21:11The tyrannosaurus wrecks.
21:14A tyrannosaurus wrecks.
21:25Ah.
21:27The tyrannosaurus wrecks.
22:03Let's go.
22:41Ankylosaurus vs. T-Rex.
22:53An evolutionary stalemate, millions of years in the making.
23:20But in this arms race, there's one thing that does set these dinosaurs apart.
23:30Intelligence.
23:32Oh!
23:34Oh!
23:37Oh!
23:42Oh!
23:47Oh!
23:55Oh!
24:08Oh!
24:10Oh!
24:10Oh!
24:10Oh!
24:14T-Rex is one of the most fearsome predators of all time.
24:23And to remain at the top of her game, she must eat the equivalent of 200 steaks every day.
24:34And yet, so far, she hasn't eaten a single bite.
24:43That's because she has special plans for this takeout meal.
24:48Oh!
25:02Oh!
25:03Oh!
25:04Oh!
25:06Oh!
25:06Tons of muscle and bone with an assortment of lumps and bumps.
25:25Even for T-Rex, it's quite a drag.
25:29Oh!
25:37Oh!
25:41Oh!
25:44Oh!
25:53Oh!
26:03Oh!
26:04Finally, her journey's end.
26:17and the reason she's gone through all this effort.
26:34Five hungry hatchlings.
26:51A ferocious killer, yes, but also a devoted mother.
27:16She will ensure her little ones are well fed
27:25to give them the very best start in life.
27:34Something their distant ancestors could only dream of.
27:42Far back in the Triassic, tiny Marasuchus hatched into hell.
27:50These dinosaurs in the making, forced to live in the shadows,
27:57hiding from the ruling reptiles.
28:04But when fate intervened,
28:05they turned catastrophe into opportunity
28:15and began their monumental rise,
28:22growing bigger, stronger, and ever more formidable.
28:34In time, they would triumph, not just on land, but in the sea and the sky.
28:47After 160 million years, the dinosaurs are now so dominant,
28:56nothing on Earth can stand in their way.
29:06But something not of this Earth will.
29:13Because as this family's journey is just getting started,
29:18another journey is approaching its end.
29:27The asteroid, now hurtling towards Earth at 50 times the speed of sound,
29:34will finally have its date with destiny.
29:39It is the Earth at 50 times the try.
29:53You are going through the light.
29:55It is the universe.
30:00It is the universe.
30:00The eyes of Earth at 50 times the sky is now.
30:00The city is now.
30:01The city is now.
30:01And once again.
30:01The city is now.
30:01The city is now.
30:02The city is now.
30:03The city is now.
30:05Why?
30:08He is now.
30:09It's now.
30:13It smashes into the ocean off the coast of Mexico
30:18with the power of a billion atomic bombs.
30:24Temperatures are hot enough to vaporize the seabed.
30:30Along with every living thing for hundreds of kilometers.
30:44Far away in the foothills of the Rockies.
30:48These great dinosaurs have no idea what's about to hit them.
31:16The largest earthquakes in history.
31:29But the worst is yet to come.
31:34An enormous wall of superheated debris explodes outward.
31:57The dinosaurs caught beneath this death cloud are entombed.
32:07Their world is so hot, it literally bursts into flames.
32:21Even the toughest armor is no protection.
32:35The cloud quickly engulfs the entire planet, suffocating it with ash, shrouding it in darkness.
33:15It's dangerous.
33:32The few still standing at the end of the day are in a nightmare, choking in the gloom.
34:11By nightfall, the death tolls.
34:16For the dinosaurs is catastrophic.
34:49At the end of the day, an impact winter descends on the earth.
35:00Global temperatures drop by 25 degrees Celsius, conditions too cold for almost any dinosaur
35:13to withstand.
35:27Giant sauropods laid to rest in the cinders of the buried trees that made them so tall.
35:52In their crowded colonies, those who lived together died together.
36:08Protective mothers cannot shield their young from their freezing temperatures.
36:20The punishing cold has also taken its toll on the most famous dinosaur of all.
36:36The tyrant king has fallen.
37:01Even the mighty tyrannosaurus rex will not survive this.
37:09The one who has to be preço.
37:23The rocky
37:24one who has to be hurt.
37:24The one who has to be a
37:39The reign of the dinosaurs has finally come to an end.
38:16But 66 million years later, the dinosaurs are rising again, this time at our hands.
38:41Today, their fossils stand as monuments to a lost world.
38:48But more than that, they are the keys that unlock the secrets of the dinosaur story.
38:59Our understanding of their lives is now greater than ever.
39:05From their very first moments to their very last.
39:14And the revelation that on Earth's darkest day, not all dinosaurs died.
39:24Some were small enough to find shelter from the apocalypse.
39:33And survive even to this day.
39:40The flying dinosaurs we now call the birds.
39:50And the clues to their past are hiding in plain sight.
40:17The remarkable journey that started 235 million years ago continues.
40:27Alongside us.
40:31They are the last remaining link.
40:35To a long lost kingdom.
40:40That was the age of the dinosaurs.
40:46of course.
