00:50Earth
00:52Sixty-six million years ago
00:56During the great reign
00:58Of the dinosaurs
01:05Majestic creatures
01:09Giants
01:10And monsters
01:12That can often seem more imagined
01:16Than real
01:19Including
01:21This Pachycephalosaurus
01:29He's an old alpha male
01:33Eager to get back to his harem 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 to the intruder
02:05There's just one problem
02:10There's a herd of giants in his way
02:25But holding on to his family
02:28Is all that matters
02:39He'll risk his life
02:41To reach them
02:59He'll risk his life to reach them
03:16He may have survived the crossing
03:19But the battle
03:21Has just begun
03:24The trespasser is younger
03:27Stronger
03:28And more aggressive
03:38And he won't surrender these females
03:43Without a fight
03:48Their four-inch-thick skulls
03:51Are designed for a brutal style of combat
04:16Neither side
04:17Is backing down
04:31This time
04:33The alpha is hurt
04:39Days invading fast
04:41His hold on his family
04:43Is slipping away
04:48Sensing his weakness
04:50The intruder prepares
04:52For a finishing blow
05:07But in the world of Tyrannosaurus Rex
05:15The only battle that counts
05:18Is for survival
05:25This is the age
05:28Of the dinosaurs
05:29Of the dinosaurs
05:30Of the dinosaurs
06:28The
06:59This is the story of the dinosaurs, as it has never been told before.
07:19It takes place in a world lost to time.
07:27Long before the infamous asteroid.
07:37Millions and millions of years in the past.
07:41On a planet that looks nothing like it does today.
07:50Where extraordinary beasts clash and struggle to survive.
07:59And where Earth's violent forces determine their fates.
08:08The story begins 235 million years ago.
08:15In an era known as the Triassic.
08:21Where a twist of evolution will change the course of history.
08:31The supercontinent of Pangaea.
08:38A single immense land mass that stretches from pole to pole.
09:05Its vast desert interior is more like the surface of Mars.
09:14Than planet Earth.
09:25Temperatures here are brutally hot.
09:37In some places, it hasn't rained in thousands of years.
09:47But there is something far worse than the heat.
10:04Sandstorms.
10:11Few creatures can survive in a world this extreme.
10:41But not all of Pangaea is a desert wasteland.
10:48Along its fringes.
10:50The warm, lush coastlines are the perfect place.
10:56For life to thrive.
11:00This is a time long before the age of the dinosaurs.
11:07It is the age of the ancient reptiles.
11:17Like Tynistrophius.
11:22A six meter long nightmare that stalks the shallow sea.
11:37And Rhynchosaurs.
11:40One of the most successful reptiles in all of Pangaea.
11:55To each other, they're brutes and bullies.
12:06But to this reptile.
12:10They're just the terrified locals.
12:18Looperasuchus.
12:19Looperasuchus.
12:21The 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.
12:48A clutch of eggs.
12:56Very special eggs.
13:01Because growing inside them are the very first of their kind.
13:24A baby Marasuchus.
13:36She waves no more than a mouse.
13:42But she makes up for it.
13:45Because she has a set of skills.
13:48That sets her apart from the ancient reptiles.
13:55Including the remarkable ability to stand on two legs.
14:01Not just four.
14:13She also has advanced lungs.
14:16And lighter bones.
14:21Adaptations that give these little hatchlings.
14:25An invaluable gift.
14:30They are born to run.
14:36And in this day and age.
14:38They need to.
14:51They are born to run.
14:52They are born to be a man.
14:55And there are more than they have.
14:58They are born to be a man.
14:59Their only hope.
15:00Is 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.
15:35But thanks to her, it's still intact.
15:42Which is vital, because 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, because if this dinosaur in the making doesn't survive, her family tree
16:45could be cut down before it even takes root.
16:55She's picked up a scent.
16:58Something worthy of her bloodline.
17:08A rhynchosaur carcass.
17:30But it's already been claimed.
17:38By her old nemesis, Nuprasuchus.
17:44This is his kill, and 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.
18:45The perfect attire for a daring heist.
18:50The perfect attire for a daring heist.
19:19The perfect attire for a daring heist.
19:20The perfect attire for a daring heist.
19:23The perfect attire for a daring heist.
19:44If she plays it right, she may just get her moonlit dinner for one.
20:02A feast fit for a dinosaur.
20:15Marasuchus has great potential.
20:19She's adaptable with traits that make her special.
20:25But if the dinosaurs are to challenge the ancient reptiles, it will take more than skills.
20:35It will take a powerful ally.
20:40The Earth itself.
20:49A million years later, in the far north of Pangaea, the darkest forces of nature are awakening.
21:10A series of volcanic eruptions is 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.
21:43Carbon dioxide.
21:46Chilling the skies and warming the planet.
21:51The rising temperatures cause a massive surge in ocean evaporation.
22:10Huge storm clouds descend on the continent of Pangaea.
22:15Huge storm clouds descend on the continent of Pangaea.
22:27The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the.
22:29This will be no ordinary rainfall.
22:59It swoops across the globe.
23:06Carving vast rivers into the once dry continent, known as the Carnian Fluvial 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...
24:04Pangea emerges, transformed.
24:15A world reborn.
24:27What were endless deserts are now forests.
24:33New lands that will help set the course for the rise of the dinosaurs.
24:45But 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...
26:07have all but disappeared.
26:28She won't survive if she can't reach her food.
26:51And she has a more immediate problem than hunger.
27:04A relative of the fearsome Luperosuchus.
27:11For these reptilian carnivores...
27:15this is a time of great opportunity.
27:32Unlike the nimble Marasuchus...
27:35she's slow...
27:39weak...
27:40vulnerable.
27:59The rhinocosaurs were once among the most successful...
28:03of the plant-eating reptiles.
28:09Now their extinction...
28:11is just a matter of time.
28:13Deep him!
28:26Nomogyamooks...
28:27here-over.
28:43The
28:43As the kingdom of the ancient reptiles begins to fracture,
28:52another kind of animal is on the rise.
28:59The dinosaurs.
29:10And in this changing world,
29:13they must be adaptable.
29:19They must evolve.
29:24They must improve over time.
29:30And transform in ways that will help them survive.
29:39Finally, 12 million years after the demise of the rancosaurs,
29:46the dinosaurs can begin to come out of the shadows.
29:58As the end of the Triassic draws near,
30:02vast forests still dominate the land,
30:06now more vibrant than ever.
30:11And the dinosaurs are reaping the benefits.
30:25Like Platyosaurus, a dinosaur trailblazer.
30:41This little one and her siblings are embarking on a mission.
30:48To explore their new world.
30:52With almost no regard for the dangers it may hold.
31:10They may not look any bigger than little Marasukas.
31:16But 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,
31:40they've come a long way since their tiny ancestors ran for their lives.
31:52And unlike the rancosaurs,
31:55these 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.
32:57And to wash down that much food requires a lot of water.
33:05and to break a bit of water.
33:24But just a few of them and they can just take the most into case of themselves.
33:24Because they don't have to kill themselves.
33:24They can't understand if they have a lot of water.
33:24They fall by their own waste.
33:24No, no, I'm a little.
33:28They can't take a lot of water.
33:30They can't take their own waste anymore.
33:31They can't take a lot of water.
33:33So they have any water.
33:40It's an easy life, but in the age of the early dinosaurs, even a giant like Platyosaurus
33:55must be careful, because there is another dinosaur on the rise, a newcomer with a taste for blood.
34:20A 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.
35:06While the matchup between these two dinosaurs may be a little lopsided, it won't stay that
35:21way.
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, all 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.
36:45The dinosaurs are growing as a force in the world, but their rise is slow.
36:55The planet still belongs to the reptiles.
37:04For the dinosaurs to truly challenge them, it will take millions of years.
37:15Shaped by Earth's dynamic forces, they grow fiercer, more powerful, more advanced.
37:31By the end of the Triassic, the dinosaurs are ready to flex their muscle.
37:44But there are new creatures also vying for domination.
37:50And in the mountains of Tangia, some of them have taken to the air.
38:08Pterosaurs, flying reptiles with a wingspan of two meters.
38:21And they are in total command of the Triassic skies.
38:40These jagged peaks are their mating grounds.
39:01And this male has spotted a female.
39:11First, eject the competition.
39:22Now, it's time for the courtship to begin.
39:41During these rituals, the pterosaurs are focused entirely on each other, not their surroundings.
39:54In the mountains, which can be costly, because dinosaurs dwell in these canyons.
40:19The largest member of the carnivore clan.
40:23The largest member of the carnivore clan.
40:27Lillian Sternus.
40:32Twice as long as a grizzly bear, with claws that can tear through flesh.
40:42And with her finely tuned sense of smell, she doesn't miss a thing.
40:52And with her finely tuned sense of smell, she doesn't miss a thing.
41:25Dozens of eyes are circling above.
41:30Even with her camouflage, one wrong move could blow her cover.
41:37He looks a bit smaller than a lion.
41:38He looks like a man of an eye-frogy.
41:46He just is crying to him now, and she's crying to me.
41:54It's the most part of the carnivore.
41:56The stranger has the most part of a priest.
41:56The past half and right-gazling to be a man of an eye-frogy.
42:06It's the most part of the carnivore.
42:12I don't know.
42:55This moment marks a new chapter in the rise of the dinosaurs.
43:04At last, they are a force to be feared.
43:15But the commotion of her attack has attracted another predator.
43:24The ancient reptiles have terrorized the dinosaurs from the beginning.
43:30But that ends now.
43:38Lillian Sternus won't be skulking back to the shadows.
43:47She can hold her ground.
44:01The trouble is...
44:03Here, at the end of the Triassic...
44:07The ground itself...
44:10Is about to throw the entire dinosaur story...
44:15Into chaos.
44:22No!
44:25No!
44:31No!
44:32No!
44:34No!
44:34No!
44:35No!
44:37No!
44:37No!
44:38No!
44:38No!
44:39No!
44:40No!
