Short filmTranscript
00:10One hundred and twenty-five million years ago, winter rages across the north.
00:26Entire species have been pushed to the brink.
00:40Even the largest dinosaurs are unable to endure this cold.
00:52Like these sauropods, migrating south.
01:04Werder came early this year and caught them off guard.
01:19With hundreds of kilometers ahead of them, this time it will be an especially harsh journey.
01:33But the bitter cold is not the only danger in this frozen land.
01:42There is a much greater threat here, in these woods.
02:04Euteranus.
02:07The Snow King.
02:13An early relative of T-Rex.
02:19With a thick, insulating coat of feathers, he's perfectly adapted for life in a world this cold.
02:36But his feathers also serve a more sinister purpose.
02:46An early relative of T-Rex.
02:47Camouflage.
02:49The ultimate weapon for an ambush hunter.
02:53An early relative of T-Rex.
03:24I don't know.
03:52In a savage, ever-changing world, some will rise, and some will fall.
04:06But through it all, the dinosaurs will expand their empire and advance relentlessly to seize Earth's final frontiers.

05:47It's a new age for life on Earth.
05:52An age of extremes.
05:56New worlds are forming that will give rise to the most famous dinosaurs of all time.
06:10The North is still gripped by cold.
06:15Earth's most violent, but not for much longer.
06:24Earth's most violent forces are staring once again.
06:33Volcanoes are warming the planet.
06:53But some will pay a price for this warmer world.
06:57The North is and a new world.
06:57I don't know.
07:45As global temperatures continue to rise, the snow and ice all but disappear.
08:00Huge, meltwater rivers tear through the land.
08:11This thawing of the north is expanding the dinosaur's empire even further.
08:20And in surprising new ways.
08:30In this fresh, fertile landscape, sauropods no longer need to migrate.
08:39But it's also a new world for one of the dinosaur's oldest rivals.
08:48The pterosaurs.
08:51They are now bigger and badder than ever.
09:01Including Gway Draco, the ghost dragon.
09:13But he's an intruder here.
09:21Because these trees are the home of longipteryx.
09:28A new kind of dinosaur.
09:31Less than 20 centimeters tall.
09:35But highly territorial.
09:38Especially during nesting season.
09:56They're also equipped to take on the pterosaurs.
10:03Now they, too, can fly.
10:16In a previous era, flying dinosaurs like Ancyonis could only glide.
10:25Now they're able to flap their wings and maneuver with precision to strike at their enemies.
10:43They're fast and fearless.
10:54They're fast and fearless.
10:58It only gets worse for the tiring pterosaur.
11:04Because longipteryx are distant cousins of you, Tyrannus, the Snow King.
11:12They're armed with the teeth and claws of their clan.
11:29After ruling the skies since the Triassic, pterosaurs are now being matched by the dinosaurs.
11:46But as the dinosaurs fight to expand their empire into the air.
11:53An even greater revolution lies ahead.
12:06Not in the mountains.
12:09Or the skies.
12:12Or the oceans.
12:14The biggest twist in Earth's tale is unfolding quietly.
12:21Almost in secret.
12:27Seven million years later.
12:31This new force is slowly rewriting the dinosaur story.
12:50This is one of the first flowers this forest has ever seen.
12:57Just one.
12:58One!
12:59And a vast and diverse new generation of plants.
13:07And they will become a phenomenon.
13:11With the help of a close ally.
13:21Beetles.
13:24They carry pollen from one flower to the next.
13:35Nature's most reliable delivery service.
13:45Helping these new plants spread far and wide across the globe.
13:57Transforming the dinosaur's empire.
14:12But this new generation of plants has a dark side.
14:20What do you think?
14:25While they need to attract pollinators,
14:29many are also evolved to repel herbivores.
14:38With spines, thorns, and poisons.
14:50Nature's defensive weapons.
14:58This green revolution changes everything for the plant-eating dinosaurs.
15:08Including the great stegosaurs.
15:20They're herd animals by nature.
15:25But this young stegosaur, barely two years old, is all alone.
15:39She is the last of her herd.
15:54To eat these tougher new plants requires mouthful and chew food in a way her primitive jaw cannot.
16:11She's starving.
16:21She's starving.
16:27She's starving.
16:28These once great herbivores are unable to adapt to this new world.
16:41It's one reason why their 50 million year existence will come to an end.
16:49Extinction.
16:59But in the wake of the stegosaur's demise,
17:03a new era will emerge.
17:11Over the next 15 million years,
17:15these new plants evolve.
17:18And diversify.
17:20Spreading across the planet.
17:23And ever further into the dinosaur's empire.
17:36The green revolution now covers the globe.
17:42And not just the land, but the water as well.
17:52Even providing cover and food for underwater explorers.
18:05Like ankylosaurs.
18:27This bathing beauty is a different kind of dinosaur.
18:39He's a plant eater, like the stegosaurs.
18:44But a fancier one.
18:46Much fancier.
18:54Because unlike the stegosaurs,
18:58his advanced jaw can crush food in a way that makes eating any kind of plant easy.
19:09It's the perfect adaptation for this diverse new world.
19:22He wants to take full advantage of all this great kingdom has to offer.
19:30And he has a plan.
19:32And he has a plan.
19:41It's a long trek.
19:47But the journey is worth it.
20:07This is the one place where he can truly be himself.
20:12This is the one place where he can truly be himself.
20:23His passion is singing.
20:33He even has special hollows in his snout that amplify his song.
20:44So it can be heard far and wide.
20:48So it can be heard far and wide.
21:10Let's go.
21:21Let's start.
21:22Let's go.
21:23Let's go.
21:31To the
21:32The female has answered his call.
21:35Now, it's time to charm her with his deep, sultry humming.
21:50Then, he shows her his stylish armor.
22:05It's all very persuasive.
22:27Their fancy attire does have some drawbacks, mind you.
22:35On the whole, though, heavy armor and an improved jaw are setting them up for success.
22:50But what no dinosaur could possibly know is that their empire has been gradually shrinking.
23:04Hidden below the waves, this world, once ruled by dinosaurs,
23:15is now completely out of their reach.
23:25And there's a reason.
23:32At the very bottom of the ocean.
23:37A slow, imperceptible shift.
23:43Reshaping the planet.
23:51The seabed is fracturing.
23:56From an endless progression of eruptions.
24:25Earth's tectonic plates are shifting.
24:30Breaking apart the ocean floor
24:34Lifting it higher
24:35Over millions of years
24:42The water above has nowhere else to go
24:45But up
24:49By the middle of the Cretaceous
24:52Sea levels reach their highest point in history
24:57Over 200 meters higher than they are today
25:18The rising oceans repaint the map of the world
25:24Erasing entire land masses
25:30The continent of Europe
25:32Is reduced to a giant archipelago
25:36That includes the Isle of Hatzeg
25:45Where isolation and evolution
25:48Have created a kind of
25:50Neverland for the dinosaurs
25:54A world where normal rules don't apply
26:04This is the home
26:06Of Magyarasaurus
26:09A sauropod
26:14And like other sauropods
26:17He uses his long neck
26:20To reach the highest vegetation
26:33Thing is
26:34This vegetation
26:37Is only two meters tall
26:41Which makes Magyarasaurus
26:44About the size
26:45Of a pony
27:02On Hatzeg
27:04Where there's limited space
27:06And food
27:07Sometimes
27:09Smaller is better
27:27But unlike Magyarasaurus
27:30For predators
27:32Bigger
27:34Is still better
27:49As tall as a giraffe
27:51One of the largest
27:54Pterosaurs
27:55To ever live
28:00The nightmare
28:04Hatzegopteryx
28:10She's flown to this island
28:12To feed
28:14On dinosaurs
28:25The youngest member of the herd
28:27Gets separated
28:36But it won't be an easy catch
28:38But it won't be an easy catch
28:41Unlike his giant cousins
28:44He's light on his feet
29:12But being this small
29:14He can't see
29:15He can't see the others
29:24They found a safe hiding spot
29:27Perfect for their size
29:56He can't see the animals
29:58Ah!
29:59Ah!
30:39I don't know.
31:12The tiny dinosaurs, trapped on an island, has nowhere else to go.
31:31But in a world so divided by the ocean, evolution takes different turns in different places.
31:49Ninety-six million years ago, sea levels are close to the highest they've ever been.
32:06Creating a water world that no dinosaur has dared to enter.
32:19But that's about to change.
32:35Lurking in this mangrove swamp is a carnivore that has specially evolved to take on the final frontier.
32:56A dinosaur pioneer.
33:12Spinosaurus.
33:13Spinosaurus.
33:17Spinosaurus.
33:19Spinosaurus.
33:20The largest predator to ever walk the earth.
33:26Spinosaurus.
33:30Spinosaurus.
33:32Spinosaurus.
33:38Spinosaurus.
33:41Spinosaurus.
33:43Spinosaurus.
33:44Spinosaurus.
33:44Spinosaurus.
33:46Spinosaurus.
33:49Spinosaurus.
33:50Spinosaurus.
33:51Spinosaurus.
33:52Spinosaurus.
33:54Spinosaurus.
33:55Spinosaurus.
33:57Spinosaurus.
34:02Spinosaurus.
34:07Spinosaurus.
34:08Spinosaurus.
34:14Here, the high sea levels have turned the oceans into a new hunting ground for the dinosaurs.
34:24Where bigger is definitely better.
34:54Spinosaurus is adapted to a planet that is now mostly ocean.
35:01And in this age, some of the largest prey is here in the water.
35:23Sharks.
35:29In a flat-out chase between a shark and a giant dog-paddling dinosaur,
35:35the shark will always win.
35:42But there's more to Spinosaurus than meets the eye.
35:53Dinosaurs aren't just becoming bigger.
35:57Some are cunning, too.
36:01She's going to make the sharks come to her.
36:16Her snout is wired with sensors that can detect the slightest movement.
36:25Now, all she needs to do is keep completely still.
36:48The best hunters are the patient ones.
36:55And her patience is starting to pay off.
37:06The blood in the water is drawing the sharks closer.
37:10Yeah.
37:14Yeah.
37:25I don't know.
37:54She doesn't move.
38:00She knows how this game is played.
38:23Brains and brawn, a killer combination that is finally letting the dinosaurs get a foothold
38:35in the ocean.
38:45Their reach is now global and extends to the very ends of the Earth.
38:57To what will one day be Antarctica.
39:11While Spinosaurus is stalking the shallow seas and the tropics, the world's southernmost
39:20landmass is not the frozen wilderness we know today.
39:27It's a green, flourishing Eden, where even in the dark, evolution is lighting the way.
39:51And thriving in the darkness are the dinosaurs.
40:09By this stage in the late Cretaceous, their empire is so vast that they now dominate every continent
40:19on Earth.
40:29And yet, while their reign is global and their rule almost unchallenged, their story will take
40:45a dark turn.
41:15And yet, while their reigns are the same, they will take a dark turn.
41:16And yet, while their reigns are the same, they will take a dark turn.
41:32When does this again appear, they will take a dark turn.
41:34And they will take a dark turn.
41:34It will take dark turn in it.
41:35Before they come, have you know that many
41:35dever masses of islandmass war may either be savordress or the country if they 나옵진.
41:37It will takeオリケ.
