00:00So come on along with me on the Dinosaur Train. All aboard!
00:04This program was made possible by contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you. Thank you!
00:11Dinosaur Train, yeah, yeah, Dinosaur Train
00:14Once upon a time there was a mom, her name was Mrs. Pteranodon
00:18Sitting on her nest, she heard a scratching and said
00:20Oh boy, my eggs are hatching!
00:22One by one, her kids popped three
00:24Baby Pteranodons, one, two, three
00:25I'll name you Tiny, Shiny and Don
00:27But Tiny said
00:28Wait, there's one more mom!
00:29The last little baby was a different size
00:31With teeth and a tail and big green eyes
00:33You didn't look anything like the rest
00:35What am I doing in a Pteranodon nest?
00:37But dear old Mrs. Pteranodon said
00:39Oh, this is your family and I'm your mom
00:41You may be different, but we're all creatures
00:43All dinosaurs have different features
00:45Come on buddy, we'll take a vacation
00:47I'll get us a ticket at Pteranodon Station
00:49We'll travel the world in sunshine and rain
00:51And meet all the species on the
00:53Dinosaur Train, Dinosaur Train
00:55Dinosaur Train, Dinosaur Train
00:57We're gonna ride
01:01The Dinosaur Train
01:07Dinosaur Train
01:10Dinosaur Train
01:11Woohoo!
01:12Cretaceous Picnic Grounds, here we come!
01:15You two sure are excited!
01:17I know! We're having a picnic!
01:19It's not every day we eat outdoors
01:21Wait, actually we do!
01:23But we don't always take the train to do it!
01:26Tickets! Tickets please!
01:28Well, hello Pteranodon family!
01:30Hello Mr. Conductor!
01:32It's just Tiny and Mom and me today
01:34Dad and Shiny and Dawn went on a fishing trip
01:36So we'll have a yummy fish dinner when we get back tonight
01:38If we have room in our tummies after our picnic
01:42You Pteranodons make me smile
01:44Such a tight-knit family
01:46That's what a family is, Mr. Conductor
01:48We stick together, live in our nest together
01:50And eat a lot of fish together
01:52Well, did you know that there are all different
01:55kinds of dinosaur families?
01:57Some are quite large
01:59And some don't even live in the same place all the time
02:01Even our family's different
02:03We're five Pteranodons and one T-Rex
02:05That makes us special
02:07Yeah, that's true
02:09It is true
02:11We're not going far today, Mr. Conductor
02:13Just to the Cretaceous Picnic Grounds
02:15Popular destination
02:17Everyone in the next car is heading there too
02:21Sounds like they're having fun
02:23Wow
02:25Look at them all
02:27And look at those pretty horns
02:29Hi, I'm Ernie Onisaurus
02:31Hi, I'm Tiny and this is Buddy
02:33You guys don't look like Onisaurus
02:35We're not
02:37We heard laughing and we had to find out what the joke was
02:39Looks like the joke is
02:41How many Onisaurus does it take to fill a car in the dinosaur train?
02:43And the answer is
02:45A whole train car full
02:47Oh, this is only part of my family
02:49We're meeting the rest at the Cretaceous Picnic Grounds
02:52Hey, that's where we're going
02:54No kidding
02:56Maybe we can picnic together
02:58There you two are
03:00I wondered where you went off to
03:02Mom, this is Ernie
03:04He invited us to picnic with his family
03:06Well, that's very nice
03:08But we should check with Ernie's family
03:10It's fine, love to have you
03:12Hurray
03:14Okay then, thanks
03:16Goodness Ernie
03:18You certainly have a large family
03:21I mean, you haven't seen anything yet
03:27What did Ernie mean by we haven't seen anything yet?
03:29Well, what Ernie meant was
03:31Actually, let me show you
03:33The Onisaurus
03:35Have a different kind of family
03:39Onisaurus travel together
03:41And they're proud of their distinctive nose horns
03:43Who wouldn't be? Those things are awesome
03:45What are they for?
03:47I think I hear a hypothesis coming up
03:50Actually, hold that hypothesis, buddy
03:52Because first, there's a tunnel coming up
03:56Time tunnel
03:58Time tunnel
04:04Next stop, Onisaurus Plane Station
04:08In another part of the Cretaceous time period
04:12Now, before you head off, buddy
04:14I believe you had a hypothesis
04:16My hypothesis is that Ernie belongs to one
04:19Really huge family
04:21Interesting
04:23I bet you'll be able to test that hypothesis
04:25Because there it is
04:27The Cretaceous picnic grounds
04:29Whoa
04:31Picnic heaven
04:35Mom, honey, look out
04:41Have a great time, pteranodons
04:43Ernie's family picnics are known to be big
04:45And pretty, uh, active
04:49Okay, we're off the train
04:51Wanna go meet the rest of us?
04:53Wait, there's more of your family?
04:55Come on
04:57And this is where my family picnics
04:59Actually, we call our group a herd
05:07Wow, Ernie, your herd is huge
05:09Super huge
05:11You must have so many kids in your family
05:13Yeah, lots and lots of brothers and sisters
05:15Actually, I only have a mom and a dad
05:18And two sisters
05:20They're around here somewhere
05:22We have two other kids in our family, too
05:24Shiny and Dawn
05:26So your family isn't any bigger than ours
05:28Yeah, I have a regular-sized family
05:30My herd is huge
05:32It's actually a bunch of small families
05:34That make up one big group
05:36My herd travels around together
05:38And we find food together
05:40And protect each other
05:42So, a lot of small families
05:44Make up a big herd
05:47Wow, Ernie
05:49Two of your family members are fighting
05:51Someone's gotta stop them
05:53Nah, that's just Uncle Jack and Cousin Ralph
05:55Watch what they do
06:02So, it's not a real fight?
06:04Nope, just practicing
06:06Practicing? Practicing what?
06:08Scaring animals with their horns?
06:10Well, when you live in a herd like we do
06:12We do protect each other from predators
06:14It certainly is impressive, Ernie
06:16Thanks, Mrs. Tyranodon
06:18But mostly what the big grown-ups do
06:20Like my Uncle Jack, is help lead the herd
06:22Which one's Uncle Jack?
06:24Uncle Jack!
06:26Ernie!
06:28How's it going, nephew?
06:30Good! Meet my friends
06:32Mrs. Tyranodon, Tiny, and Buddy
06:34Nice to meet you
06:36That practice fight was amazing
06:38Yeah, you liked it, huh?
06:40Well, there's a lot of us Ineosaurus to lead
06:42And we are just like one big happy family
06:44Yeah, that's right
06:46Our herd really sticks together
06:48And we have fun
06:50That's what I'm talking about
06:52So, you know any games?
06:54Oh, that's what Ralphie and I were doing
06:56Playing a game called King of the Herd
06:58Like the game we play at home
07:00King of the Hill
07:02I even play sometimes, right Uncle?
07:04Oh, right! Can we play?
07:06Now, Tiny, don't get carried away
07:08You don't have horns
07:10Ernie doesn't have a big horn
07:12But I will grow a nasal horn just like mine
07:14A nasal horn?
07:16Yep, this horn on my nose
07:18But they're just for show
07:20To impress the other dinosaurs
07:22So there's no reason Ernie or even Tiny and Buddy can't play
07:24Yeah!
07:26Okay, kids
07:28Now you play King of the Herd by circling each other
07:30Sort of like a dance
07:32That's right
07:34And then this is the key
07:36Act tough
07:38Like this?
07:40Act tough and scary
07:42To intimidate the other guy
07:44And you run past each other like you mean business
07:46Like we're King of the Herd
07:48Right, okay
07:50Ready, set, intimidate!
07:52Roar!
07:54Roar!
07:56Watch out, here I come!
07:58Roar!
08:00I'm ready!
08:02Roar!
08:06Nice job
08:08I'm so glad you're interested in our Ineosaurus ways
08:10Buddy and Tiny are always curious
08:12Say, you haven't had a shot yet, Mrs. Pteranodon
08:14Me?
08:16Oh, I couldn't
08:18Hey, we're always looking to groom new leaders for the herd
08:20It's a real important job
08:22Come on, Mom
08:24Queen of the Herd
08:26Well, I guess I could try it once
08:28Roar!
08:30Come on, Mrs. Pteranodon
08:32You can do it!
08:34Roar!
08:36Oh, that's one mean face
08:38Glad we don't see that very often
08:40Roar!
08:42Roar!
08:44Roar!
08:46Roar!
08:48Good job, way to go, Mrs. Pteranodon
08:52You are so intimidating, Mom
08:54Aw
08:56So this is what it's like to feel like part of the herd
08:58Feel warm and safe
09:00Hey, do you want to play more?
09:02Sure, but maybe after we eat
09:04The King of the Herd made me really hungry
09:06Yeah, me too
09:08So, let's eat!
09:16What a meal
09:18That was one yummy picnic
09:20So, you guys got to learn about herds today
09:22But I still don't know what it's like to live in a single family group like you
09:24It's great, too
09:26In its own way
09:28We sleep and eat in our nest on a cliff in Pteranodon Terrace
09:30And we're almost always together
09:32We go out to fish
09:34Yeah, and we travel a lot
09:36We can go anywhere at the drop of an egg
09:38We always ride the dinosaur train
09:40And only take up two seats
09:42It does sound really fun
09:44And so different from us Ineosaurus
09:46But that's great, we're all different
09:48You're right, buddy
09:50We're all creatures with different features
09:52There's our train
09:54Time to go, kids
09:56Thanks for having us, Ernie
09:58And for teaching us about herds
10:00It was a blast
10:02And it was great to meet you all
10:04Come visit the herd anytime
10:06We will
10:08Bye
10:10So long, Pteranodon family
10:12Well, we definitely heard that
10:22Mom did such a great job being intimidating
10:24The herd loved it
10:26And Ernie's uncle showed us how to play king of the herd
10:28He could really use that nasal horn of his
10:30That's a nose horn
10:32And one day, Ernie will have horns
10:34Just like his uncle's
10:36And then, watch out
10:38I don't know if I like living in a herd
10:40Talk about sharing the spotlight
10:42I think I prefer my family
10:44Where I can really shine
10:48It was fun to be with a big herd
10:50But I'm glad to be back with our little family again
10:52Let's play king of the herd
10:54But we're not really a herd, buddy
10:56We're a Pteranodon-T-Rex herd
10:58Dad, wanna be king of our herd?
11:02I think Dad's asleep
11:08Oh, Dad
11:26Now, what's the first thing you notice about Ineosaurus?
11:28It's horns
11:30Yeah
11:32Ineosaurus is a horned dinosaur
11:34Or Ceratopsian
11:36Just like Triceratops
11:38Let's compare them
11:40Triceratops had a small horn over the nose
11:42And huge horns over the eyes
11:44But Ineosaurus had a large curved horn over the nose
11:46Plus two big spikes at the back of its frill
11:52Scientists think that Ineosaurus may have lived in large groups
11:54Called herds
11:56Herds are a great way for herbivores
11:58To defend themselves against predators
12:00More animals in a herd
12:02Means more eyes to watch out for carnivores
12:06Can you think of a large plant-eating animal
12:08Alive today that lives in herds?
12:10A wildebeest
12:12That's a great one
12:14Wildebeest and Ineosaurus have a lot in common
12:16Both are big
12:18Both have horns
12:20And both tend to travel in large herds
12:24Ok, keep watching for more dinosaur discoveries
12:54Ineosaurus, Ineosaurus

13:22I live in a tree
13:24I live in a hole
13:26I live in a nest
13:28I'm a dinosaur and I live in
13:30The water
13:32Wait, in the water?
13:34Is there any kind of dinosaur that lives in the water?
13:36Yeah, I thought only fish and crabs and turtles live in the water
13:38Yeah, I thought only fish and crabs and turtles live in the water
13:40And those creatures definitely are not dinosaurs
13:42I'm not sure if any dinosaurs live in the water
13:44Mom, do you know?
13:46Well, I know that many many creatures live in the water
13:48Well, I know that many many creatures live in the water
13:50Some small, some big and some really big
13:52Some small, some big and some really big
13:54But dinosaurs in the water?
13:56Hey, we could do an investigation at the big pond
13:58Good idea buddy
14:00Can we mom, please?
14:02I don't see why not
14:04Plus, I want to find out if dinosaurs live in the water
14:06Plus, I want to find out if dinosaurs live in the water
14:08Hooray, we're going to the big pond
14:10And on the way, we can ask the conductor our big question
14:12And on the way, we can ask the conductor our big question
14:14To the dinosaur train
14:16Tickets, tickets please
14:18Mr. Conductor, we have a big question
14:20Mr. Conductor, we have a big question
14:22This is a good time to ask
14:24This is a perfect time, I feel smarter than usual
14:26This is a perfect time, I feel smarter than usual
14:28Let's hear it
14:30Ok, is there any kind of dinosaur that lives in the water?
14:32Ok, is there any kind of dinosaur that lives in the water?
14:34Behold, the Hesperornis
14:36Behold, the Hesperornis
14:38This dinosaur is quite an interesting specimen
14:40Because yes, it does live in the water
14:42Because yes, it does live in the water
14:44Wow, I knew it
14:46The Hesperornis looks kind of like a bird
14:48The Hesperornis looks kind of like a bird
14:50It has small wings
14:52And a beak, and weird feet
14:54And you're sure it's a dinosaur?
14:56Yep, as sure as I have feathers and a toe claw
14:58Yep, as sure as I have feathers and a toe claw
15:00And you could possibly meet this exceptional Hesperornis at the big pond
15:02And you could possibly meet this exceptional Hesperornis at the big pond
15:04Next stop, big pond
15:06Next stop, big pond
15:08Good luck, Pteranodon family
15:10Good luck, Pteranodon family
15:12Bye
15:42I'll be right here
15:50Mom, look at the water
15:58What's going on?
16:00Is it a bunch of fish swimming by?
16:02Or one huge fish coming up?
16:04Maybe we should get out of here
16:12Sorry for scaring you there, buddy
16:14I'm not buddy, I'm Dawn
16:16Oh, well, hi Dawn
16:18My name's Jess, Jess Hesperornis
16:20If I knew you were going to be here, I would have brought you a fish
16:22You eat fish?
16:24Hi Jess, I'm tiny Pteranodon
16:26This is Shiny, and Buddy, and my mom
16:28Hello, hello, hello, and hello
16:30I've seen you Pteranodons flying around the pond
16:32Yeah, we do that a lot
16:34Jess, I'm just double-double-checking
16:36You really are a dinosaur who lives in the water?
16:38I am tiny Pteranodon
16:40Yes, a dinosaur that lives in the water
16:42Actually, I'm a dinosaur and a bird
16:44Pretty neat, huh?
16:46A dinosaur and a bird?
16:48Yup, Hesperornis live in the water
16:50But hold your beaks and tails
16:52I also go down to the water sometimes
16:54And hang out on the beach
16:56I never knew there was a dinosaur like you
16:58And now we're actually meeting you
17:00And I'm meeting you
17:02Hey friend
17:04Hey friend, so you live in the water
17:06And walk on land
17:08And swim, you can do it all
17:10We'll see Dawn
17:12One thing I know I can do is
17:14Hello, something underwater needs my attention
17:16I'll be back before you can say this two times
17:18The happy hyper Hesperornis is forever finding fish
17:20Go!
17:22Make it Buddy, say it twice
17:24The happy hyper Hesperornis is forever finding fish
17:26The happy hyper Hesperornis is forever finding
17:28Can someone say fish?
17:34That was so fast
17:36How did you do it?
17:38I bet Jess can do anything
17:40Well, it's just one of those things that water dinosaurs can do
17:42Having these feet helps
17:44Wow, you have really big feet
17:46And long toes
17:48Yeah, they're lobed feet
17:50These babies really help me go fast
17:52Take a look, they turn out
17:54Then I move them fast through the water and zip
17:56My whole body moves fast with them
17:58All my feet can do is this
18:00Hesperornis' feet are so cool
18:02I bet you can swim faster than any creature, Jess
18:04Well, I'm not sure if I'm the fastest
18:06I bet you are
18:08And I think you can swim farther down in the water than anyone else
18:10I do like diving way down
18:12Just like I love flying way up
18:16That is high up, Tiny
18:18Not too high, Tiny
18:20Oh, Mom
18:22Can we see how far down you can dive, Jess?
18:24Well, I don't want to say I can go down really, really far
18:26But I'm not sure I can
18:28I don't want to say I can go down really, really far
18:30But hey, I can go down really, really far
18:32There, I said it
18:34All right, you'll dive down for us?
18:36Sure, why not
18:38Come on, everybody, let's watch Jess dive
18:40And use his big lobed feet
18:42I always do
18:44Don't forget my flat tail
18:46I use it to change direction
18:48To the left, to the right
18:50I move it back and forth
18:52It's just another Hesperornis thing I do
18:54Okay, ready to watch me dive?
18:56I can still see him
18:58A little
19:00Barely
19:02I can't see him anymore
19:04Wow, he's been underwater for so long
19:06Like a fish
19:08But Jess is a dinosaur
19:10And a bird
19:12Jess, hello
19:14Come back up
19:16I hope Jess is okay
19:18Don't worry, Shiny, I'm sure Jess is fine
19:20He did say that diving is what Hesperornis do
19:22I guess he'll come up when he needs to
19:26How's it going, gang?
19:28What did I miss?
19:30Anyone for some fresh fish?
19:32You were underwater for so long
19:34We were worried
19:36You were worried, Shiny
19:38I wasn't
19:40I know you were just doing what Hesperornis do
19:42You got that right, Dawn
19:44But thanks for worrying about me, Shiny
19:46So, Jess, how far down did you go?
19:48I'm not sure, far enough to see lots of creatures
19:50Big, small, some with shells, some with teeth
19:52Some with tentacles
19:54I can't swim all the way down like you, Jess
19:56Hey, can I try?
19:58Dawn, we don't want you to get hurt
20:00Pteranodons don't dive down deep in the water
20:02We just go in, grab a fish, and pop back out
20:04You're Mom and Tiny, you're right, Dawn
20:06We both dive in the water, but in different ways
20:08But we both want to catch the same thing
20:10Fish
20:12Yeah, I guess so, Jess
20:14But, you know, I can't fish the way you do
20:16Flying up and diving down
20:18What? Of course you can
20:20You can do it all
20:22Dive down underwater, catch fish
20:24Fly, walk on land
20:26And probably run fast
20:28And maybe even climb up trees
20:30That's really nice of you, Dawn
20:32But hey, you know, I have to catch a lot of fish for my family
20:34My Mom, Dad, and brothers have huge appetites
20:36Anyone want to help?
20:38Yes!
20:40Then I'll be your spotter
20:42Great, let's fish
20:44Hey, there's some fish over there
20:46Woohoo!
20:52Ha ha ha
21:00Good job, everyone
21:02You're a fun, fantastic, fresh fish-fetching family
21:04Of totally terrific, tremendous
21:06Pteranodons
21:08Woohoo!
21:10Hey, Jess, maybe you can try to fish like a Pteranodon
21:12You know, fly up and dive down together
21:14We all can, it'll be fun
21:16Uh, sorry to tell you, but with these little wings
21:18There isn't much flying I can do
21:20Really?
21:22Really, watch
21:26Okay, I think it's time for me to get back in the drink
21:28That means water
21:30And that, folks, is how a Hesperornis flies
21:32Oh well, I have funny little wings
21:34And a big old neck
21:36And great feet
21:38And a beautiful beak
21:40Life is good
21:42I like my beak too
21:44Me too
21:46Nice teeth, buddy
21:48Check out these choppers
21:50Whoa!
21:52Hey, you wanna use those beaks and eat some of this fish we caught?
21:54Yeah!
21:56Let's do it!
21:58Race you guys to the fish
22:04I'm not much for racing when I'm on land
22:06That's why I like to hang out in the drink
22:08These lobed feet are great in the water
22:10But they don't really help me run
22:12Jess, you know who can really run fast?
22:14Buddy!
22:16Show Jess
22:18I don't think Jess really wants to see me run
22:20Sure I do
22:22Show us, buddy
22:26Awesome, buddy, just awesome
22:28Hey, can we fish more?
22:30Let's go back in the drink
22:32Oops
22:34I bet that's your ride home
22:36I really wanted to fish more
22:38We will another time, Don
22:40Jess, it was great to meet you
22:42Can we be friends now forever?
22:44Oh, absolutely, Don
22:46Bye, you guys
22:48We'll see each other soon
22:50Gotta dive!
22:52Bye, Jess
22:54Good fishing with you
22:56See you soon
22:58We're a fun, fantastic, fresh fish
23:00And many a bully
23:02Terrific, tremendous, pteranodon
23:04Okay
23:06Try saying Hesperornis three times fast
23:08Hesperornis, Hesperornis, Hesperornis
23:14Hi there, I'm Dr. Scott the paleontologist
23:16And this is Hesperornis
23:18Hesperornis
23:20Hesperornis
23:22Hesperornis was a bird that lived during the Mesozoic era
23:24The time of the dinosaurs
23:26And since all birds are actually dinosaurs
23:28Hesperornis was both a bird
23:30And a dinosaur
23:32Now, check out the wings on this bird
23:34They're tiny wings
23:36Even though Hesperornis was a bird
23:38It couldn't fly
23:40Instead, it lived in the water
23:42And used its big feet
23:44To swim very fast
23:46Can you think of a bird living today
23:48That can't fly and lives in the water?
23:50Penguins
23:52Right, penguins can't fly
23:54But they're great swimmers
23:56And penguins do have pretty big wings
23:58That they use for swimming
24:00And there's one thing that makes them so special
24:02It's the fact that they can fly
24:04And swim
24:06And fly
24:08And fly
