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.
01:05Weta 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.
01:41There is a much greater threat here, in these woods.
02:04Euteranus.
02:05Euteranus.
02:06The 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.
02:43Euteranus.
02:47Camouflage.
02:49The ultimate weapon for an ambush hunter.
03:17The ultimate weapon for an ambush hunter.
03:24The fort이라.
03:39The crocodile.
03:41The entire weapon inside.
03:42The destroyer.
03:42The other weapon in disguise.
03:42The Oi Mettling.
03:43A transmission.
03:46Musik Badly.
03:49Theiod.
03:49A transmission.
03:49The sort.
03:52In a savage, ever-changing world, some will rise and some will fall.
04:07But through it all, the dinosaurs will expand their empire and advance relentlessly to seize
04:18Earth's final frontiers.
04:59The rampage will restore our empire to the Earth's final frontiers.
05:00The玩意 will be changed depending on the planet you see.
05:01The town is a phenomenon that consists of one by a billion years ago.
05:08Jay, this is the fun of The 마지막ary of the world.
05:08The Unav間 to the family of the world will beаны.
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, but not for much longer.
06:23Earth's most violent forces are staring once again.
06:33Volcanoes seethe and fume, warming the planet.
06:53But some will pay a price for this warmer world.
06:57Earth is still gripped by cold.
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, the pterosaurs.
08:51They are now bigger and badder than ever.
09:01Including Grey Draco, the ghost dragon.
09:13But he's an intruder here.
09:21Because these trees are the home of Longipteryx.
09:27A new kind of dinosaur.
09:32Less than 20 centimeters tall, but highly territorial.
09:37Especially 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.
10:26Now they're able to flap their wings and maneuver with precision to strike at their enemies.
10:43They're fast and fearless.
10:58It only gets worse for the tiring pterosaur.
11:03Because Longipteryx are distant cousins of Eutyrannus, the Snow King.
11:12They're armed with the teeth and claws of their clan.
11:28After 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, an even greater revolution lies ahead.
12:07Not in the mountains, or the skies, or the oceans.
12:13Not in the mountains.
12:14The biggest twist in Earth's tale is unfolding quietly, almost in secret.
12:27Seven million years later, this new force is slowly rewriting the dinosaur story.
12:50This is one of the first flowers this forest has ever seen.
12:55One, just one, in a vast and diverse new generation of plants.
13:07And they will become a phenomenon with 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.
13:56Helping these new plants, transforming the dinosaur's empire.
14:12But this new generation of plants has a dark side.
14:21Legislative and Tesla's Rough могли many times within a million species...
14:25...and animals depend with hundreds of billions...
14:26While they need to attract pollinators, many are also evolved to repel herbivores
14:37With spines, thorns, and poisons, nature's defensive weapons.
14:58This green revolution changes everything for the plant-eating dinosaurs, including the
15:11great stegosaurs.
15:21They are herd animals by nature, but 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
16:02jaw cannot.
16:11She's starving.
16:27These 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, a new era will emerge.
17:11Over the next 15 million years, these new plants evolve and diversify, spreading across the
17:22planet and 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.
17:53Even providing cover and food for underwater explorers, like ankylosaurs.
18:27This bathing beauty is a different kind of dinosaur.
18:39He's a plant eater, like the stegosaurs, but a fancier one, much fancier.
18:54Because unlike the stegosaurs, his advanced jaw can crush food in a way that makes eating
19:04any kind of plant easy.
19:22He wants to take full advantage of all this great kingdom has to offer.
19:30And he has a plan.
19:41It's a long trek, but the journey is worth it.
20:07This is the one place where he can truly be himself.
20:23His passion is singing.
20:33He even has special olives in his snout that amplify his song.
20:44So it can be heard far and wide.
20:48It's a great hypo birch and he has nice little stir for a modern world.
20:53It's cinnamon and tender for the sky like build big image.
20:59So let's take the leader through topeace.'
20:59He even trips in the sky like the bulbs kind of plants.
21:02He's putting the water for peace?
21:05He wants to be żad my riddalmas.
21:07He's running like the way that should never be supposed to happen.
21:09He wants to think.
21:13He's got the new Integrity.
21:31A female has answered his call.
21:37It's time to charm her with his deep, sultry humming.
21:49Then, he shows her his stylish armor.
22:04It'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.
23:26And there's a reason.
23:32At the very bottom of the ocean, a slow, imperceptible shift reshaping the planet.
23:51The seabed is fracturing from an endless progression of eruptions.
24:25Earth's tectonic plates are shifting.
24:30Breaking apart the ocean floor, lifting it higher over millions of years.
24:42The water above has nowhere else to go but up.
24:49By the middle of the Cretaceous, sea 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 is reduced to a giant archipelago
25:35that includes the Isle of Hetzig,
25:45where isolation and evolution have created a kind of neverland for the dinosaurs.
25:53A world where normal rules don't apply.
26:04This is the home of Magyarosaurus.
26:10A sauropod.
26:15And, like other sauropods, he uses his long neck to reach the highest vegetation.
26:33The thing is, this vegetation is only two meters tall,
26:41which makes Magyarosaurus about the size of a pony.
27:02On Hetzig, where there's limited space and food,
27:08sometimes smaller is better.
27:27But, unlike Magyarosaurus, for predators, digger is still better.
27:49As tall as a giraffe, one of the largest pterosaurs to ever live.
28:00The nightmare Hetzigopteryx.
28:10She's flown to this island to feed on dinosaurs.
28:25The youngest member of the herd gets separated.
28:36But it won't be an easy catch.
28:41Unlike his giant cousins, he's light on his feet.
29:12But being this small, he can't see the other side.
29:24They found a safe hiding spot.
29:27Perfect for their size.
29:29Yes!
29:31T-
29:33T-
29:35I don't know.
30:10I don't know.
30:56I don't know.
31:15I don't know.
31:31But in a world so divided by the ocean, evolution takes different turns in different places.
31:4996 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.
32:20But that's about to change.
32:35Lurking in this mangrove swamp is a carnivore that has specially evolved to take on the final frontier.
32:57A dinosaur pioneer.
33:12Spinosaurus.
33:20The largest predator to ever walk the Earth.
33:30At 15 meters long, she's bigger than a school bus.
33:41The forest provides plenty of prey.
33:48But another reason she's gotten this big is because of where she goes to escape the gloom of the swamp.
34:14Here, the high sea levels have turned the oceans into a new hunting ground for the dinosaurs.
34:23Where bigger is definitely better.
34:53Spinosaurus.
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.
35:21Spinosaurus.
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.
36:26Now, 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.
37:11The Yoda isn't learning or Werner's后.
37:13The baby and him.
37:13..
37:13..
37:39He just bought those stars over here at the branch of the deer.
37:54She doesn't move.
38:00She knows how this game is played.
38:10She doesn't move.
38:23Brains and brawn.
38:27A killer combination.
38:30That is finally letting the dinosaurs get a foothold in the ocean.
38:45Their reach is now global.
38:50And extends to the very ends of the Earth.
38:58To what will one day be Antarctica.
39:12While Spinosaurus is stalking the shallow seas and the tropics, the world's southernmost landmass is not the frozen wilderness we
39:24know today.
39:26It's a green, flourishing Eden.
39:35Where 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 on Earth.
40:28And yet, while their reign is global, and their rule almost unchallenged, their story will take a dark turn.
41:13Then it's so vast.
41:16You wouldn't want to know everybody glad that it's revealed.
