00:28You
00:30You
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
06:00The
06:00Of the dinosaurs
06:00The
06:12The
06:12The
06:14The
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.
07:26Long before the infamous asteroid.
07:37Millions and millions of years in the past.
07:42On 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.
08:37A single immense landmass 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, the warm, lush, coastlines are the perfect place for life to thrive.
11:01This is a time long before the age of the dinosaurs.
11:07It is the age of the ancient reptiles.
11:22A six-meter-long nightmare that stalks the shallow sea.
11:37And rhynchosaurs, one of the most successful reptiles in all of Pangaea.
11:55To each other, they're brutes and bullies.
12:06But to this reptile, they're just the terrified locals.
12:18Looperasuchus.
12:19Looperasuchus.
12:20The 4-meter-long apex predator of his time.
12:33But he's not here for the Rankasaurs, he's sniffed out an easier target, a clutch of
12:55eggs, very special eggs, because growing inside them are the very first of their kind.
13:25A baby Marasuchus.
13:36She weighs no more than a mouse.
13:42But she makes up for it, because she has a set of skills that sets her apart from the ancient
13:50reptiles, including the remarkable ability to stand on two legs, not just four.
14:12She also has advanced lungs and lighter bones, adaptations that give these little hatchlings
14:24an invaluable gift.
14:30They are born to run.
14:36And in this day and age, they need to.
14:58Their only hope is to find a place to hide.
15:07Easier said than done when 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.
15:42It's still intact, which 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.
16:30Now Marasuchus must make it through another night.
16:36It's critical, because if this dinosaur in the making doesn't survive, her family tree could
16:45be cut down before it even takes root.
16:55She's picked up a scent.
16:59LEGO HER dzieck F destroyed.
17:02It's an ему-
17:03Yeah.
17:08A renkisaur carcass.
17:16SHIRло things
17:30But it's already been claimed
17:37By her old nemesis
17:40Nupra Sugus
17:43This is his kill
17:45And he does not intend to share
17:56But as night approaches
18:01Temperatures start to drop
18:22The colder it gets
18:23The drowsier
18:25A giant reptile becomes
18:32Meanwhile
18:33The warmer-blooded Mara Sugus
18:35Has a feathery fuzz
18:37That keeps her cozy
18:45The perfect attire
18:47For a daring heist
18:50All right
18:51All right
19:44If she plays it right
19:50She may just get
19:53Her moonlit dinner
19:55For one
20:02A feast
20:05Fit for a dinosaur
20:15Mara Sugus
20:16Has great potential
20:18She's adaptable
20:20With traits that make her special
20:25But if the dinosaurs
20:27Are to challenge the ancient reptiles
20:31It will take more
20:33It 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 Pangaea
20:56The darkest forces of nature
21:00Are awakening
21:10A series of volcanic eruptions
21:13A series of volcanic eruptions
21:14Is creating a catastrophe
21:18One that will alter the fate
21:21Of the dinosaurs
21:27But the danger
21:28Is not the lava
21:34It's a gas
21:42Carbon dioxide
21:43Carbon dioxide
21:44Chilling the skies
21:47And warming the planet
21:51The rising temperatures
21:53Cause a massive surge
21:56In ocean evaporation
22:09Huge storm clouds
22:12Descend on the continent
22:14Of Pangaea
22:28But this will be
22:30No ordinary rainfall
22:59It swoops across the globe
23:06Carving vast rivers
23:09Into the once dry continent
23:20Known as the Carnian
23:22Fluvial event
23:26This series of storms
23:28Will be the longest
23:30Downpour
23:31In history
23:33Lasting more
23:35Than a million years
24:01When the rains
24:03Finally do subside
24:04Pangaea emerges
24:07Transformed
24:15A world
24:17Reborn
24:27What were endless deserts
24:29Are now forests
24:33New lands
24:34That will help set the course
24:37For the rise
24:38Of the dinosaurs
24:45But first
24:46The reptile empire
24:49Must falter
25:01The air in these woods
25:04Is thick
25:05With the smell
25:07Of tree resin
25:15Nature
25:16Nature is unforgiving
25:18Here
25:25The once prosperous
25:27Plant-eating reptiles
25:30Are on the decline
25:44Not only is this
25:46Rinkosaur alone
25:48She's starving
25:55In this new world
25:57Of towering trees
26:00The low-lying plants
26:02That once allowed
26:03Her species
26:04To thrive
26:08Have all but
26:09Disappeared
26:28She won't survive
26:29If she can't reach
26:31Her food
26:51And she has a more
26:54Immediate problem
26:55Than hunger
27:04A relative
27:05A relative
27:06Of the fearsome
27:07Luperosuchus
27:11For these reptilian
27:13Carnivores
27:14This is a time
27:16Of great opportunity
27:31Unlike the nimble
27:34Marasuchus
27:35She's slow
27:37Weak
27:39Vulnerable
27:59The Rinkosaurs
28:00Were once among
28:02The most successful
28:03Of the plant-eating reptiles
28:08Now their extinction
28:11Is just a matter
28:13Of time
28:44As the kingdom
28:45Of the ancient reptiles
28:47Begins to fracture
28:52Another kind of animal
28:54Is on the rise
28:59The dinosaurs
29:10And in this changing world
29:12They must be adaptable
29:19They must evolve
29:24They must improve
29:26Over time
29:30And transform
29:32In ways that will
29:34Help them survive
29:39Finally
29:4012 million years
29:42After the demise
29:44Of the Rinkosaurs
29:46The dinosaurs
29:48Can begin to come out
29:50Of the shadows
29:57As the end
29:59Of the Triassic
30:00Draws near
30:02Vast forests
30:04Still dominate the land
30:06Now
30:07More vibrant
30:09Than ever
30:12And the dinosaurs
30:14Are reaping
30:16The benefits
30:24Like
30:25Platyosaurus
30:27A dinosaur
30:29Trailblazer
30:40This little one
30:42And her siblings
30:44Are embarking
30:46On a mission
30:47To explore
30:49Their new world
30:52With almost
30:54No regard
30:55For the dangers
30:56It may hold
31:09They may not look
31:11Any bigger
31:12Than little
31:12Marasuchus
31:16But when they
31:17Grow up
31:18They grow up
31:20Bigger
31:23Much
31:24Bigger
31:28They are the first
31:29Dinosaurs
31:30To become
31:32Gigantic
31:37Over seven meters
31:39Long
31:39They've come
31:41A long way
31:42Since their tiny
31:43Ancestors ran
31:44For their lives
31:52And unlike
31:53The Rinkosaurs
31:55These giants
31:56Can easily reach
31:57The higher vegetation
32:12They even have
32:13A trick
32:14For reaching
32:15The most tender
32:16Shoots of all
32:37Excessive maybe
32:41But worth it
32:46Because an adult
32:48Platyosaurus
32:49Must eat
32:5025 kilos
32:52Of plants
32:53Each day
32:57And to wash
32:59Down that much
33:00Food
33:01Requires
33:03A lot
33:04Of water
33:16Of water
33:30A lot
33:32Of water
33:32And to use
33:35The
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.
34:20A 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 the two great dinosaur clans, the herbivores
35:36and the carnivores.
35:46But 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.
38:20And they are in total command of the Triassic skies.
38:40These jagged feats 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.
39:54Which can be costly, because dinosaurs dwell in these canyons.
40:19The 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.
40:47And with her finely tuned sense of smell, she doesn't miss a thing.
41:03Herbal Berg are почему-
41:19Henriette Hawkey is being very upset.
41:25Dozens of eyes are circling above.
41:30Even with her camouflage, one wrong move could blow her cover.
41:36Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
42:24I 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.
43:31But that ends now.
43:38Lillian Sternus won't be skulking back to the shadows.
43:47She can hold her ground.
44:01The trouble is, here at the end of the Triassic...
44:07The ground itself is about to throw the entire dinosaur story into chaos.
44:22No!
44:31No!
44:32No!
44:32No!
44:33No!
44:34No!
44:34No!
44:36No!
44:38No!
44:38No!
44:38No!
44:39No!
44:39No!
44:41No!
44:42No!
44:43No!
44:45No!
44:47No!
44:48No!
44:49No!
44:57No!
