00:50Earth
00:5266 million years ago
00:56During the great reign
00:58Of the dinosaurs
01:06Majestic creatures
01:10Giants
01:10And monsters
01:13That can often seem more imagined
01:16Than real
01:20Including
01:22This 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 to reach them
02:55He'll risk his life to reach them
03:16He may have survived the crossing
03:19But the battle
03:21The battle has just begun
03:24The trespasser
03:26Is younger
03:27Stronger
03:28And more aggressive
03:38And he won't surrender these females
03:41And he won't surrender these females
03:43Without a fight
03:48Their four-inch thick skulls
03:51Their four-inch thick skulls
03:51Are designed for a brutal style of combat
04:16Neither side is backing down.
04:31This time, the alpha is hurt.
04:39Days invading fast, his 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, the only battle that counts is for survival.
05:24This is the age of the dinosaurs.
05:30It's the age of the dinosaurs.
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.
08:32The supercontinent of Pangaea.
08:38A 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.
09:36In 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.
11:06It is the age of the ancient reptiles.
11:17Like Tynastrophius.
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, they're just the terrified locals.
12:18Looperus.
12:19Looperusuchus.
12:21The four-meter long apex predator of his time.
12:33But he's not here for the Rankosaurs.
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 that sets 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.
14:21Adaptations that give these little hatchlings an 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.
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.
15:42A.
15:43which is vital.
15:45Because her descendants.
15:48Are the dinosaurs.
15:53A.
16:05One year later, Marasuchus is now fully grown.
16:15But when you're the size of a pigeon in a land of monsters,
16:20you'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,
16:43her family tree could be cut down before it even takes root.
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, Nucrasuchus.
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 the 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.
18:50The
18:51The
18:51The
18:51The
18:51The
18:51The
18:53The
18:53Let's go.
19:44If she plays it right,
19:50she may just get
19:53her moonlit dinner
19:55for one.
20:02A feast
20:04fit for a dinosaur.
20:15Marasuchus has great potential.
20:19She's adaptable with traits
20:21that 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.
20:48A million years later,
20:53in the far north of Pangaea,
20:56the darkest forces of nature
21:00are awakening.
21:09A series of volcanic eruptions
21:13is creating a catastrophe.
21:18One that will alter the fate of the dinosaurs.
21:27But the danger is not the lava.
21:34It's a gas.
21:42Carbon dioxide
21:46filling the skies
21:47and warming the planet.
21:50The rising temperatures
21:53cause a massive surge
21:56in ocean evaporation.
22:10huge storm clouds
22:12descend on the continent of Pangaea.
22:28But this will be
22:30no ordinary rainfall.
22:33no ordinary rainfall.
22:54Soap.
23:00Carving vast rivers.
23:02With the way and the ships
23:03into the once dry continent.
23:14Known as the Kearnian fluvial event,
23:20this series of storms will be the longest downpour in history,
23:27lasting more than a million years.
23:43An inconceivable
23:55when the rains finally do subside.
24:00Pangaea emerge.
24:03A world reborn.
24:15What were endless deserts are now forests.
24:21New lands that will help set the course for the rise of the dinosaurs.
24:33But first, the reptile empire must falter.
24:49The air in these woods is thick with the smell of tree resin.
25:03Nature is unforgiving here.
25:13The once prosperous plant-eating reptiles are on the decline.
25:32Not only is this rinkosaur alone, she's starving.
25:43In this new world of towering trees,
25:48the low-lying plants that once allowed her species to thrive
25:55have all but disappeared.
26:16She won't survive if she can't reach her food.
26:39And she has a more immediate problem than hunger.
26:52A relative of the fearsome Luperosuchus.
26:59For these reptilian carnivores,
27:03this is a time of great opportunity.
27:20Unlike the nimble Marasuchus, she's slow.
27:26Weak.
27:28Vulnerable.
27:44Vulnerable.
27:47The rinkosaurs were once among the most successful
27:51of the plant-eating reptiles.
27:57Now their extinction is just a matter of time.
28:32As the kingdom of the ancient reptiles begins to fracture,
28:40another kind of animal is on the rise.
28:48The dinosaurs.
28:58And in this changing world,
29:01they must be adaptable.
29:07They must evolve.
29:12They must improve over time.
29:18And transform in ways that will help them survive.
29:27Finally, 12 million years after the demise of the rinkosaurs,
29:34the dinosaurs can begin to come out of the shadows.
29:45As the end of the Triassic draws near,
29:50vast forests still dominate the land.
29:54Now more vibrant than ever.
29:59And the dinosaurs are reaping the benefits.
30:13Like Platyosaurus.
30:15A dinosaur trailblazer.
30:29This little one and her siblings are embarking on a mission.
30:36To explore their new world.
30:40With almost no regard for the dangers it may hold.
30:57They may not look any bigger than little marasookas.
31:04But when they grow up, they grow up bigger.
31:11Much bigger.
31:15They are the first dinosaurs to become gigantic.
31:25Over seven meters long, they've come a long way since their tiny ancestors ran for their lives.
31:39And unlike the rinkosaurs, these giants can easily reach the higher vegetation.
32:00They even have a trick for reaching the most tender shoots of all.
32:25Excessive maybe.
32:29But worth it.
32:33Because an adult Platyosaurus must eat 25 kilos of plants each day.
32:45And to wash down that much food requires a lot of water.
33:17And to stop, the fire of the plants to see each other.
33:17It's an easy life.
33:17The fire of the Earth.
33:29It's an easy life.
33:35but in the age of the early dinosaurs even a giant like platyosaurus must be careful
33:49because there is another dinosaur on the rise
33:55a newcomer with a taste for blood
34:08a carnivore with razor-sharp teeth and killer claws
34:27his descendants will one day include tyrannosaurus rex
34:34but for now this angry predator is only the size of a turkey
34:54while the matchup between these two dinosaurs may be a little lopsided
35:04it won't stay that way
35:13over time a fierce rivalry will grow between two great dinosaur clans
35:22the herbivores
35:25and the carnivores
35:34but for the time being
35:42all dinosaurs are facing a much greater threat than each other
36:08in the water
36:10and on land the ancient reptiles remain top of the food chain
36:39the dinosaurs are growing as a force in the world
36:44but their rise is slow
36:49the planet
36:51still belongs to the reptiles
36:58for the dinosaurs to truly challenge them
37:01it will take millions of years
37:09shaped by earth's dynamic forces
37:14big row fiercer
37:17more powerful
37:21more advanced
37:25by the end of the triassic
37:28the dinosaurs are ready to flex their muscle
37:38but there are new creatures also vying for domination
37:44and in the mountains of tangia
37:47and in the mountains of tangia
37:48some of them
37:50have taken to the air
38:03pterosaurs
38:05flying reptiles
38:07with a wingspan of two meters
38:14and they are in total command of the triassic skies
38:35these jagged feet
38:36are their mating grounds
38:56and this male
38:58has spotted
38:59a female
39:00a female

39:06eject the competition
39:17now
39:18it's time for the courtship
39:19to begin
39:35to begin
39:36during these rituals
39:38the pterosaurs are focused entirely
39:40on each other
39:42not their surroundings
39:48which can be costly
39:52because dinosaurs
39:54dwell in these canyons

40:15of the carnivore clan

40:26lillian sternus
40:27twice as long
40:27as a grizzly bear
40:29with claws
40:30that can tear through flesh
40:37and with her finely tuned sense of smell
40:42she doesn't miss a thing
41:19as a
41:24Even with her camouflage, one wrong move could blow her cover.
41:58Oh, my God.
42:24I don't know.
42:49This moment marks a new chapter in the rise of the dinosaurs.
42:58At last, they are a force to be feared.
43:09But the commotion of her attack has attracted another predator.
43:17The ancient reptiles have terrorized the dinosaurs from the beginning.
43:25But that ends now.
43:32Lillian Sternus won't be skulking back to the shadows.
43:41She can hold her ground.
43:55The trouble is, here at the end of the Triassic, the ground itself is about to throw the entire dinosaur
44:08story into chaos.
