00:50Earth
00:52Sixty-six million years ago
00:56During the great rain
00:58Of the dinosaurs
01:05Majestic creatures
01:09Giants
01:10And monsters
01:12That can often seem
01:15More imagined than real
01:19Including
01:21This
01:23Pachycephalosaurus
01:30He's an old
01:31Alpha male
01:33Eager to get back to his
01:35Harem of females
01:42But something's caught their attention
01:49A rival male
01:56If the Alpha doesn't get there
01:58He may lose them
02:00To the intruder
02:05There's just
02:06One problem
02:10There's a herd of giants
02:11In his way
02:25But holding on to his family
02:28Is all that matters
02:39He'll risk his life
02:41To reach them

03:16He may have survived the crossing, but the battle has just begun.
03:24The trespasser is younger, stronger, and more aggressive.
03:38And he won't surrender these females without a fight.
03:48Their four-inch-thick skulls are designed for a brutal style of combat.
04:16Neither side is backing down.
04:31This time, the alpha is hurt.
04:39Days invading fast.
04:42His hold on his family is slipping away.
04:48Sensing his weakness, the intruder prepares for a finishing blow.
05:08But in the world of Tyrannosaurus rex,
05:16the only battle that counts is for survival.
05:24This is the age of the dinosaurs.
05:29Those.
05:30Do what?
05:42There.
10:11Few creatures can survive in a world this extreme.
10:41But not all of Pangaea is a desert wasteland.
10:48Along its fringes, the warm, lush coastlines are the perfect place for life to thrive.
11:00This is a time long before the age of the dinosaurs.
11:07It is the age of the ancient reptiles, like Tynastrophus, a six-meter-long nightmare that
11:26stalks the shallow sea, and rhynchosaurs, one of the most successful reptiles in all of
11:45Pangaea.
11:56To each other, they're brutes and bullies.
12:06But to this reptile, they're just the terrified locals.
12:20Looperasuchus, the four-meter-long apex predator of his time.
12:33But he's not here for the rhynchosaurs.
12:37He's sniffed out an easier target, a clutch of eggs.
12:56Very special eggs, because growing inside them are the very first of their kind.
13:24A baby Marasuchus.
13:29A baby Marasuchus.
13:36She waves no more than a mouse, but she makes up for it because she has a set of skills
13:47that
13:48sets her apart from the ancient reptiles.
13:55Including the remarkable ability to stand on two legs, not just four.
14:12She also has advanced lungs and lighter bones.
14:22Adaptations that give these little hatchlings an invaluable gift.
14:27A baby Marasuchus.
14:30They are born to run.
14:36And in this day and age, they need to.
14:58They're only hope is to find a place to hide.
15:07Easier said than done.
15:09When you've hatched into hell.
15:21All her siblings are gone.
15:28The survival of her bloodline is now hanging by a thread.
15:36But thanks to her, it's still intact.
15:42Which is vital.
15:44Because her descendants are the dinosaurs.
16:05One year later, Marasuchus is now fully grown.
16:15But when you're the size of a pigeon, in a land of monsters, you're still just prey.
16:29Now, Marasuchus must make it through another night.
16:36It's critical.
16:38Because if this dinosaur in the making doesn't survive, her family tree could be cut down before it even takes
16:48root.
16:55She's picked up a scent.
16:59Something worthy of her bloodline.
17:08A rhynchosaur carcass.
17:30But it's already been claimed.
17:38By her old nemesis, Nucrasugus.
17:43This is his kill.
17:45And he does not intend to share.
17:56But as night approaches, temperatures start to drop.
18:22The colder it gets, the drowsier a giant reptile becomes.
18:32Meanwhile, the warmer-blooded Marasuchus has a feathery fuzz that keeps her cozy.
18:46The perfect attire for a daring heist.
18:50And then after that I node 2 per cent.
19:44If she plays it right,
19:50she may just get her moonlit dinner for one.
20:02A feast fit for a dinosaur.
20:15Narasuchus has great potential.
20:18She's adaptable with traits that make her special.
20:25But if the dinosaurs are to challenge the ancient reptiles,
20:31it will take more than skills.
20:35It will take a powerful ally.
20:40The Earth itself.
20:48A million years later,
20:53in the far north of Pangea,
20:57the darkest forces of nature are awakening.
21:10A series of volcanic eruptions
21:14is creating a catastrophe.
21:19One that will alter the fate of the dinosaurs.
21:27But the danger is not the lava.
21:34It's a gas.
21:42Carbon dioxide.
21:46Chilling the skies and warming the planet.
21:51The rising temperatures cause a massive surge
21:56an ocean evaporation.
22:10Huge storm clouds descend on the continent of Pangea.
22:28But this will be no ordinary rainfall.
22:35The west of Turkey.
22:59It sweeps across the globe.
23:05a tube, carving vast rivers into the once dry continent,
23:20known as the Karnian Pluvial Event.
23:26This series of storms will be the longest downpour in history, lasting more than a million years.
24:01When the rains finally do subside, Pangaea emerges, transformed.
24:15A world reborn.
24:27What were endless deserts are now forests, new lands that will help set the course for
24:37the rise of the dinosaurs.
24:44But first, the reptile empire must falter.
25:02The air in these woods is thick with the smell of tree resin.
25:15Nature is unforgiving here.
25:25The once prosperous plant-eating reptiles are on the decline.
25:44Not only is this rhinosaur alone, she's starving.
25:55In this new world of towering trees, the low-lying plants that once allowed her species to thrive,
26:08have all but disappeared.
26:28She won't survive if she can't reach her food.
26:52And she has a more immediate problem than hunger.
27:04A relative of the fearsome Luperosuchus.
27:09A relative of the fearsome Luperosuchus.
27:11For these reptilian carnivores, this is a time of great opportunity.
27:32Unlike the nimble Marasuchus, she's slow, weak, vulnerable.
27:59The brinkosaurs were once among the most successful of the plant-eating reptiles.
28:09Now their extinction is just a matter of time.
28:44As the kingdom of the ancient reptiles begins to fracture, another kind of animal is on the rise, the dinosaurs.
29:10And in this changing world, they must be adaptable, they must evolve, they must improve over time and transform in
29:33ways that will help them survive.
29:39Finally, 12 million years after the demise of the Rhynchosaurs, the dinosaurs can begin to come out of the shadows.
29:58As the end of the Triassic draws near, vast forests still dominate the land, now more vibrant than ever.
30:11And the dinosaurs are reaping the benefits.
30:24Like Platyosaurus, a dinosaur trailblazer.
30:40This little one and her siblings are embarking on a mission to explore their new world with almost no regard
30:55for the dangers it may hold.
31:10They may not look any bigger than little Marasukas, but when they grow up, they grow up bigger.
31:22Much bigger.
31:27They are the first dinosaurs to become gigantic.
31:37Over seven meters long, they've come a long way since their tiny ancestors ran for their lives.
31:52And unlike the Rhynchosaurs, these giants can easily reach the higher vegetation.
32:12They even have a trick for reaching the most tender shoots of all.
32:37Excessive maybe, but worth it.
32:46Because an adult Platyosaurus must eat 25 kilos of plants each day.
32:58And to wash down that much food requires a lot of water.
33:33At least 8 e.g., are so grossly a little bit new дальше from the most Denis savouran.
33:40It's an easy life, but in the age of the early dinosaurs, even a giant like Platiosaurus
33:55must be careful, because there is another dinosaur on the rise, a newcomer with a taste for blood.
34:20Procumcinethus, a carnivore with razor-sharp teeth and killer claws.
34:39His descendants will one day include Tyrannosaurus Rex, but for now, this angry predator is only
34:52the size of a turkey.
35:07While the matchup between these two dinosaurs may be a little lopsided, it won't stay that
35:18way.
35:25Over time, a fierce rivalry will grow between two great dinosaur clans, the herbivores and
35:39the carnivores.
35:47But for the time being...
35:54all dinosaurs are facing a much greater threat than each other.
36:20In the water, and on land, the ancient reptiles remain top of the food chain.
36:51The dinosaurs are growing as a force in the world.
36:56But their rise is slow.
37:01The planet still belongs to the reptiles.
37:10The planet still belongs to the reptiles.
37:17The planet still belongs to the reptiles.
37:21Shaped by Earth's dynamic forces, they grow fiercer, more powerful, more advanced.
37:37By the end of the Triassic, the dinosaurs are ready to flex their muscle.
37:50But there are new creatures also vying for domination.
37:56And in the mountains of Pangaea, some of them have taken to the air.
38:14Pterosaurs, flying reptiles with a wingspan of two meters.
38:27And they are in total command of the Triassic skies.
38:46These jagged peaks are their mating grounds.
39:07And this male has spotted a female.
39:12And this male has spotted a female.
39:17First, eject the competition.
39:28Now, it's time for the courtship to begin.
39:47During these rituals, the pterosaurs are focused entirely on each other, not their surroundings.
40:00Which can be costly, because dinosaurs dwell in these canyons.
40:25The largest member of the Carnivore clan.
40:29The largest member of the Carnivore clan.
40:33Lillian Sternus.
40:34Lillian Sternus.
40:38Twice as long as a grizzly bear.
40:41With claws that can tear through flesh.
40:48Lillian Sternus.
40:49Lillian Sternus.
40:49Twice as long as a grizzly bear.
40:54With claws that can tear through flesh.
41:25Lillian Sternus.
41:31Dozens of eyes are circling above.
41:36Even with her camouflage, one wrong move could blow her cover.
42:01That's a good one.
42:03You're right, you're right.
42:06I'm a monster.
42:07I'm a monster.
42:13I'm a monster.
42:26Let's move.
42:28I don't know.
43:01This moment marks a new chapter in the rise of the dinosaurs.
43:10At last, they are a force to be feared.
43:21But the commotion of her attack has attracted another predator.
43:30The ancient reptiles have terrorized the dinosaurs from the beginning.
43:36But that ends now.
43:44Lillian Sternus won't be skulking back to the shadows.
43:52Lillian Sternus can hold her ground.
44:07The trouble is, here, at the end of the Triassic,
44:13the ground itself is about to throw the entire dinosaur story into chaos.
44:34Lillian Sternus is one of the greatest monsters of the plague in the real history of the world.
44:38Lillian Sternus is one of the best monsters of the world,
44:39and the rest of America is one of the best monsters of the world.
44:52The mystery of the universe will not be found to be the most vulnerable.
