00:17201 million years ago, the dinosaur's world is collapsing beneath them.
00:35The continent of Pangea is tearing apart, creating a great divide and a molten apocalypse for any creature caught in
00:56this hell.
01:13For both reptiles and dinosaurs, escape is impossible.
01:31But the worst is yet to come.
01:38An invisible killer is choking the air itself.
01:49Clouds of toxic gases wreak devastation.
02:08Acidic fog poisons everything in its path.
02:35As the gases in the atmosphere grow thicker, temperatures soar.
02:43Annihilating three quarters of all plant species and millions of animals across the planet.
03:11It's known as the End Triassic Mass Extinction.
03:16And it will change everything for the dinosaurs.
03:25Because their versatility and ability to adapt helped them survive this catastrophe far better than the reptiles.
04:07Annihilating three quarters of all plant species.
04:07Annihilating three quarters of all plant species.
04:10Annihilating three quarters of all plant species.
04:12The reign of the ancient reptiles is over.
04:18Oh, my God.
04:53With their rivals out of the way, the dinosaurs now have a chance to rise from their ruins and conquer
05:08the world.
05:21Oh, my God.
05:26Oh, my God.
05:36Oh, my God.
06:06Oh, my God.
06:40Oh, my God.
07:00Oh, my God.
07:27Oh, my God.
07:34Oh, my God.
08:07Oh, my God.
08:25Oh, my God.
08:31Oh, my God.
09:04Oh, my God.
09:06Oh, my God.
09:16Oh, my God.
09:51Oh, my God.
09:52Oh, my God.
09:54Oh, my God.
10:07Oh, my God.
10:12Oh, my God.
10:13Oh, my God.
10:28Oh, my God.
10:29Oh, my God.
10:29Oh, my God.
10:29Oh, my God.
10:31Oh, my God.
10:46Oh, my God.
10:53Oh, my God.
11:09What makes him exceptional is hard to spot at first.
11:21One thing is clear, however, is not one to back down from a challenge.
11:39Especially when there's food at stake.
11:48It's all about the food.
12:03He may only weigh as much as a chihuahua, but he does have a superpower.
12:11An incredibly strong beak and jaw that allow him to devour almost anything.
12:26And that's not all.
12:29He also has cheek pouches where he can store food to eat later in safety.
13:00And that's not all.
13:05This multi-tooled mouth will allow his descendants to become some of the greatest dinosaurs of all time.
13:18Descendants like the mighty Stegosaurus and even Triceratops.
13:26From small beginnings, great things can grow.
13:45But the dinosaurs will need more than cheek pouches to conquer the planet.
13:54On the northern side of the Great Divide lies the other new continent, Loresia.
14:30On the northern side of the Great Divide.
14:31Hiding in these waters are the remnants of a once great empire.
14:50The reptiles.
15:00They are a deadly threat in these murky shallows.
15:06But they also need to be wary.
15:14Because they no longer rule the Jurassic swamps.
15:27They have been usurped by those they once hunted on Pangea's shores.
15:51With over 60 serrated teeth.
15:57She's twice the length of a polar bear and a laser-focused hunter.
16:28But in these flooded forests, there are creatures even more frightening than her.
17:09The end of the day is a polar bear.
17:20Like a moth to a flame, she follows the mysterious calls.
18:01A male Dilophosaurus.
18:09Larger and deadlier than her.
18:24He's drawn her here for a reason.
18:35But it's not bloodlust.
18:39It's just plain lust.
18:45A coating ritual.
18:50Clawing at the ground is a display of strength.
18:56And to show off his virility, behold his crimson head crest.
19:16Finally, the grand finale.
19:23The song of the Swamp King.
19:45For a ferocious predator, he's remarkably gifted.
19:57But the future of her bloodline depends on her choice.
20:02And he's just not gifted enough.
20:17Ensuring the continuation of their species is critical.
20:22But far below, the Earth itself poses a threat to their very existence.
20:46This time, from the Jurassic Seas.
21:02An alien world.
21:07Full of bizarre creatures.
21:23The most dangerous of them all.
21:28The pliosaurs.
21:34The great sea monsters that rule the oceans.
21:41They are one reason that dinosaurs have not entered this frontier.
21:50But the real threat to the dinosaurs lies below.
22:03Methane.
22:15This greenhouse gas was frozen under the seabed for millions of years.
22:23But warming oceans are causing it to leach out.
22:28With a devastating sound effect.
22:32For the entire globe.
22:43Extreme heat.
22:49The endless forests that Masospondilus once roamed are now a parched wasteland.
23:08The plants he relied on for food are nearly all gone.
23:19Many of his kind have died from starvation.
23:24And the rising temperatures have turned his home into a tender box.
23:32And the rising temperatures have turned his home into a tender box.
24:20At a hail to Fotodilus on Reign glances to break some fires in place.
24:22The
24:25It's the final nail in the coffin for mastospundalus.
24:38Their 17 million year existence brought to a tragic end.
25:08Eventually, other dinosaurs will rise to take their place.
25:19In that time, Earth's two continents will drift even further apart, creating a fragmented world
25:30with new lands for the dinosaurs to conquer.
25:56It's more than 20 million years since the fall of mastospundalus, and here in the mountains
26:05of what will one day be China, the climate has cooled.
26:13Life is flourishing, and a revolution is taking place.
26:44Within these cold dawn forests, something is stirring.
27:10The great four-legged dinosaurs, the great four-legged dinosaurs, the great four-legged
27:27Mementosaurus, a giant of the Jurassic.
27:31Mementosaurus, a giant of the Jurassic.
27:42Mementosaurus, a giant of the Jurassic.
27:51Nearly 40 million years after their ancestor, Fulcanodon, made its monumental rise, Mamingchisaurus
28:01is now so gigantic that just standing up is a mammoth test.
28:35Fulcanodon
29:06Fulcanodon
29:09And they are not the only giants that live in this forest. The trees are reaching ever greater heights as
29:18well, to avoid being completely consumed by these towering beasts.
29:29But there is a catch to being this tall. A 15-meter-long neck can only support a tiny head.
29:46That houses a brain smaller than an apple.
30:10The evolutionary focus on size over smarts will help the sauropods become the most dominant herbivores of the Jurassic Park.
30:34But they are not the only ones in this forest who are moving up in the world.
30:50Ankyornis
30:54Yes, he looks a bit like a chicken. And he is about the size of one. But he's nevertheless a
31:06dinosaur. A dinosaur with feathers. And newly evolved wings.
