The Dinosaurs Episode 2 Engsub
Transcript
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.
02:08A city 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 help them survive this catastrophe far better than the reptiles.
04:04And it will change everything for the animals.
04:10The reign of the ancient reptiles is over.
04:53With their rivals out of the way, the dinosaurs now have a chance to rise from their ruins.
05:07And conquer the world.
05:37The end.
05:40The end.
08:47At 11 meters long, she's more than twice the size of Massospondylus.
08:57She's part of a new branch of plant-eating dinosaurs known as the sauropods.
09:11Famous for their long necks and huge bodies that are supported by four legs instead of just
09:22two.
09:27These profound changes will help these giants become the largest animals to ever walk the
09:36earth.
09:40If Massospondylus can't compete, it will be left behind.
09:54While the sauropods are on the rise, another legend in the making is waiting in the wings.
10:15Caves like these are crawling with strange creatures.
10:24And one of them will give rise to some of the greatest dinosaurs in history.
10:50The tiny heterodontosaurus.
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.
12:13An 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.
12:37For sure.
13:05This multi-tooled mouth
13:07will allow his descendants
13:09to become some of the greatest dinosaurs of all time.
13:18Descendants like the mighty Stegosaurus
13:21and even Triceratops.
13:26From small beginnings,
13:29great things can grow.
13:45But the dinosaurs will need more than cheek pouches
13:49to conquer the planet.
13:54On the northern side of the Great Divide
13:58lies the other new continent,
14:00more easier.
14:32On the northern side of the Great Divide
14:32living in these waters
14:34are the remnants of a once-great empire.
14:50The reptiles.
15:00They are a deadly threat
15:02in 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
15:30by those they once hunted
15:33on Pangea's shores.
15:41Dinosaurs.
15:48Dilophosaurus.
15:52With over 60 serrated teeth,
15:57she's twice the length of a polar bear.
16:09and a laser-focused hunter.
16:24And a laser-focused hunter.
16:28But in these flooded forests,
16:35there are creatures
16:37even more frightening than her.
16:42There are creatures
16:53even more frightening than her.
17:20Like a moth to a flame,
17:22she follows the mysterious calls.
18:01A male dilophosaurus, larger and deadlier than her.
18:25He's drawn her hair for a reason.
18:36But it's not bloodlust.
18:40It'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,
19:00behold his crimson head crest.
19:17Finally, 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.
20:03And he's just not gifted enough.
20:16Ensuring the continuation of their species is critical.
20:22But far below, the Earth itself poses a threat to their very existence.
20:47This 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.
22:42Extreme heat.
22:50The endless forests that Masospondilus once roamed.
22:54Are now a parched wasteland.
23:08The plants he relied on for food.
23:12Are 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.

24:25It's the final nail in the coffin for mastospundalus.
24:37Their 17 million year existence brought to a tragic end.
25:08Eventually, other dinosaurs will rise to take their place.
25:20In that time, Earth's two continents will drift even further apart, creating a fragmented
25:30world with new lands for the dinosaurs to conquer.
25:57It'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.
26:23And a revolution is taking place.
26:44Within these cold dawn forests, something is stirring.
27:10Sauropods, the great four-legged dinosaurs.
27:27Mamentisaurus, a giant of the Jurassic.
27:51Nearly 40 million years after their ancestor, Fulcanodon, made its monumental rise, Mamentisaurus,
28:01is now so gigantic that just standing up is a mammoth task.
28:08Mara Christ.
28:13Mara Christ.
28:14I don't know.
28:54They have the longest necks of any animal in history that can reach as high as a five-story building.
29:09And they're not the only giants that live in this forest.
29:14The trees are reaching ever greater heights as well, to avoid being completely consumed by these towering beasts.
29:29But there is a catch to being this tall.
29:35A 15-meter-long neck can only support a tiny head that houses a brain smaller than an apple.
30:10The evolutionary focus on size over smarts will help the sauropods become the most dominant herbivores
30:19of the Jurassic Age.
30:34But they're not the only ones in this forest who are moving up in the world.
30:50Ankyornis.
30:51Ankyornis.
30:55Yes, he looks a bit like a chicken.
30:59And he is about the size of one.
31:01But he's nevertheless a dinosaur.
31:09A dinosaur with feathers.
31:14And newly evolved wings.
31:39Cyanraptor.
31:44Another dinosaur.
31:45Cyanraptor.
31:46Cyanraptor.
31:49Cyanraptor.
31:49But one willing to haunt its own tiny cousin.
32:10His primitive wings are next to useless on the ground.
32:34But that doesn't mean he's confined to the ground.
33:12Up here, his wings aren't just for show.
33:31He's one of the first dinosaurs to be able to glide.
33:44And with such skill that he can even catch food midair.
33:55Flight will turn out to be one of the dinosaurs' greatest leaps forward.
34:10But Angionis is still just a beginner here.
34:22For the time being, this airspace belongs to the pterosaurs.
34:41The flying dinosaurs are outgunned in the skies for now.
34:50But in time, the pterosaurs will meet their match.
35:03As the planet continues to evolve, so do the dinosaurs.
35:15And as the end of the Jurassic draws nearer, their control over the land on both continents is only getting
35:27stronger.
35:36It's seven million years since Angionis took to the air.
35:48Here, in what will one day be North America,
35:56Geothermal heat simmers at the surface.
36:01An echo of past extinctions.
36:14The sauropods here are larger than ever.
36:22Their strategy of bigger is better is paying off.
36:31But these dinosaurs are evolving on an altogether different track.
36:42Stegosaurus.
36:49A far cry from their tiny cheek-stuffing ancestors.
36:57They are now as heavy as elephants and equipped with armor, camouflage, and weapons.
37:09And here in the late Jurassic, they need the protection.
37:24And here in the late Jurassic, they need the protection.
37:29Because there is danger in these dark forests.
37:42Allosaurus.
37:48Eight meters long, with dagger-like teeth,
37:51They are the most successful predators of their day.
38:02But this young male is not stalking.
38:07He's stealing.
38:16A female.
38:22Same species.
38:24But larger.
38:26Stronger.
38:28And battle-scarred.
38:30A female.
38:32A female.
38:33A female.
38:36A female.
38:39A female.
38:41A female.
38:46A female.
38:48A female.
38:48A female.
38:49A female.
38:52A female.
39:04A female.
39:07A female.
39:11A female.
39:13A female.
39:14A female.
39:14A female.
39:14A female.
39:15A female.
39:15A female.
39:24Let's go.
40:00The rainstorms have passed.
40:05The young male hasn't eaten in weeks.
40:16He has no choice but to try his luck on a herd of Stegosaurus.
40:33But he can't hide his approach when he's out in the open, which gives the herd time to prepare
40:43their defenses.
40:48They form a wall of moving bodies and spikes.
40:58It's intimidating and confusing for the young Allosaurus.
41:07He can't pick out which one to attack.
41:21But he's got other problems.
41:26The veteran female has just joined the game.
41:32And she's been playing this game for a lot longer than he has.
41:44She's able to isolate one of the herd.
41:52But Stegosaurus has evolved a perfect weapon.
41:59A mace-like tail with meter-long spikes called a thagomizer.
42:08Bump!
42:09Femi-legs!
42:14No, not smashes!
42:17No!
42:27Nobody's going to kill him!
42:29I'm going to kill him!
42:30I'll kill him!
42:31I'll kill him!
42:35I'll kill him!
42:35And you will kill him.
42:36I'm sorry!
43:03To be continued...
43:05...it's game over.
43:12For the young male, it's payback.
43:18And lunch.
43:22Because Allosaurus are cannibals.
43:37Fifty million years after surviving an apocalypse,
43:42the dinosaur's dominion over Earth is now absolute.
43:59But the world they've come to know is changing.
44:10Temperatures are dropping across the globe.
44:18Bringing snow to the northern regions of the planet.
44:26Something few dinosaurs have ever experienced.
44:38From these frozen lands,
44:41a new kind of dinosaur will rise.
44:53The Tyrannosaurs are coming.
45:26The Tyrannosaurus

45:41The Tyrannosaurus
