1
00:00:17,809 --> 00:00:23,356
66 MILLION YEARS AGO

2
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,843
Earth,

3
00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:55,180
66 million years ago.

4
00:00:56,681 --> 00:01:01,061
During the great reign of the dinosaurs.

5
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,734
Majestic creatures.

6
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:12,906
Giants and monsters

7
00:01:13,656 --> 00:01:17,911
which often seem
more imaginary than real.

8
00:01:20,538 --> 00:01:21,623
Including…

9
00:01:22,791 --> 00:01:25,460
…this pachycephalosaurus.

10
00:01:30,131 --> 00:01:32,342
He's an old alpha male,

11
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:36,721
looking forward to returning
to his harem of females.

12
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:45,063
But something caught their attention.

13
00:01:49,692 --> 00:01:51,361
A rival male.

14
00:01:56,533 --> 00:02:01,371
If the alpha doesn't go there,
you may lose them to the intruder.

15
00:02:05,416 --> 00:02:07,794
There's just one problem.

16
00:02:10,255 --> 00:02:13,007
There is a herd of giants in your way.

17
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:30,733
But keep your family
is the most important of all.

18
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,328
He will risk his life to get there.

19
00:03:16,654 --> 00:03:19,199
He may have survived the crossing,

20
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,161
but the battle has just begun.

21
00:03:25,246 --> 00:03:30,293
The attacker is younger,
stronger and more aggressive.

22
00:03:38,968 --> 00:03:41,721
And he will not hand over these females…

23
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:45,225
…without putting up a fight.

24
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:55,193
Their skulls 10 cm thick
are designed for brutal fights.

25
00:04:16,965 --> 00:04:20,009
Neither of them will back down.

26
00:04:31,521 --> 00:04:32,730
This time,

27
00:04:34,190 --> 00:04:35,817
the alpha is injured.

28
00:04:39,487 --> 00:04:45,326
Stunned and losing strength,
begins to lose control of his family.

29
00:04:48,705 --> 00:04:50,373
Feeling your weakness,

30
00:04:50,456 --> 00:04:54,460
the intruder prepares
to deliver the final blow.

31
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:11,853
But in the world of Tyrannosaurus Rex…

32
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:20,695
…the only fight that matters
It's for survival.

33
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:30,163
This is the age of dinosaurs.

34
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:31,224
THE TRUE STORY OF DINOSAURS

35
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:54,414
CHAPTER 1: ASCENSION

36
00:06:59,585 --> 00:07:03,423
This is the story of dinosaurs

37
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:07,343
like it's never been told.

38
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:24,277
It takes place in a world lost in time.

39
00:07:27,697 --> 00:07:30,741
Long before the famous asteroid.

40
00:07:36,664 --> 00:07:37,915
66 MILLION YEARS AGO

41
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:41,544
Many millions of years ago.

42
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:47,133
On a completely different planet
of today.

43
00:07:51,596 --> 00:07:54,223
Where extraordinary monsters
confront each other

44
00:07:55,224 --> 00:07:57,935
and fight to survive.

45
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,981
And where the violent forces of Earth

46
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:05,776
determine their destinies.

47
00:08:08,696 --> 00:08:13,701
The story begins 235 million years ago…

48
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:19,499
…in an era known as the Triassic.

49
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:22,043
235 MILLION YEARS AGO

50
00:08:22,126 --> 00:08:24,378
Where a twist of evolution

51
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:27,381
will change the course of history.

52
00:08:32,803 --> 00:08:35,848
The supercontinent Pangea.

53
00:08:38,893 --> 00:08:44,941
A single immense land mass
that extends from pole to pole.

54
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:08,923
Its vast desert interior

55
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:12,426
It's more like the surface of Mars...

56
00:09:15,054 --> 00:09:16,847
…than with planet Earth.

57
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:29,026
The temperatures here
are very high.

58
00:09:37,368 --> 00:09:42,164
In some places,
It hasn't rained for thousands of years.

59
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:50,756
But there is something much worse than the heat.

60
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:05,813
Sandstorms.

61
00:10:12,403 --> 00:10:17,450
Few creatures can survive
in a world as extreme as this.

62
00:10:41,849 --> 00:10:45,645
But not all of Pangea is a desert.

63
00:10:48,898 --> 00:10:50,775
Along its banks,

64
00:10:50,858 --> 00:10:55,112
the warm and lush shores
are the perfect place

65
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:58,532
for life to prosper.

66
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:06,582
That was long before
from the age of dinosaurs.

67
00:11:07,291 --> 00:11:11,212
It's the age of ancient reptiles.

68
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:20,137
Like Tanystropheus.

69
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:28,396
A nightmare six meters long
that hunts in shallow waters.

70
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:40,074
And the rhynchosaurus.

71
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:45,871
One of the most successful reptiles
across Pangea.

72
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:57,800
Among them,

73
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:00,386
they are brutes and bullies.

74
00:12:07,309 --> 00:12:09,228
But for this reptile,

75
00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:13,733
they are just places full of fear.

76
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:19,739
Luperosuchus.

77
00:12:21,323 --> 00:12:25,911
The superpredator of his time
four meters long.

78
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,589
But he's not here for the rhynchosaurs.

79
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:40,760
He smelled an easier target.

80
00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:50,895
A clutch of eggs.

81
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:59,111
Very special eggs.

82
00:13:01,405 --> 00:13:07,286
Because, inside them, they are growing
the first of their kind.

83
00:13:25,763 --> 00:13:27,640
A baby female Marasuchus.

84
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:39,109
She weighs no more than a mouse.

85
00:13:42,196 --> 00:13:44,156
But it makes up for this lightness,

86
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:47,493
because he has several skills

87
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:51,664
which distinguishes it from ancient reptiles.

88
00:13:55,376 --> 00:13:58,462
Including the remarkable ability

89
00:13:59,046 --> 00:14:03,008
to stand on two legs,
not just about four.

90
00:14:13,102 --> 00:14:18,065
She also has more developed lungs
and lighter bones.

91
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:24,780
Adaptations that give these offspring

92
00:14:25,781 --> 00:14:27,950
an invaluable gift.

93
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,872
They were born to run.

94
00:14:36,625 --> 00:14:40,254
And right now, they have to.

95
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:02,276
Their only hope
is to find a hiding place.

96
00:15:07,448 --> 00:15:12,119
But it's not that easy,
when you are born in hell.

97
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:24,548
She lost all her brothers.

98
00:15:28,719 --> 00:15:32,848
The survival of your lineage
is hanging by a thread.

99
00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:38,395
But thanks to her,

100
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:40,481
is still intact.

101
00:15:42,983 --> 00:15:44,443
What is essential

102
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:47,780
because her descendants

103
00:15:49,657 --> 00:15:51,825
They are dinosaurs.

104
00:16:06,173 --> 00:16:10,594
A year later,
the female Marasuchus has already grown up.

105
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:21,355
But since it's the size of a pigeon
in a land of monsters,

106
00:16:21,438 --> 00:16:24,274
remains a prey.

107
00:16:30,239 --> 00:16:35,077
Now, the female Marasuchus
You have to survive another night.

108
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:38,038
It is essential,

109
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:43,544
because if this dinosaur in the making
not survive,

110
00:16:44,044 --> 00:16:48,841
her family tree
can be cut before taking root.

111
00:16:55,764 --> 00:16:57,391
She smelled something.

112
00:16:59,601 --> 00:17:02,021
Something worthy of her lineage.

113
00:17:09,194 --> 00:17:11,572
A rhynchosaurus carcass.

114
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,427
But it has already been complained...

115
00:17:38,515 --> 00:17:40,684
…by your old nemesis,

116
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:42,978
the Luperosuchus.

117
00:17:44,104 --> 00:17:45,731
This is his prey.

118
00:17:46,398 --> 00:17:49,318
And he doesn't intend to share it.

119
00:17:57,159 --> 00:17:59,453
But as the night approaches…

120
00:18:01,538 --> 00:18:03,624
…temperatures start to drop.

121
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:27,815
The colder it gets,
the sleepier the giant reptile becomes.

122
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:35,823
But the female Marasuchus
warmer blooded

123
00:18:35,906 --> 00:18:39,159
It has down that keeps it comfortable.

124
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:50,420
The perfect outfit for a risky robbery.

125
00:19:44,892 --> 00:19:46,393
If she acts well...

126
00:19:51,106 --> 00:19:55,986
…maybe I can get a moonlit dinner.

127
00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:04,244
A banquet

128
00:20:05,662 --> 00:20:07,748
worthy of a dinosaur.

129
00:20:15,631 --> 00:20:18,634
Marasuchus has a lot of potential.

130
00:20:19,384 --> 00:20:23,555
It adapts well and has characteristics
that make it special.

131
00:20:25,682 --> 00:20:30,270
But if dinosaurs
want to challenge the ancient reptiles,

132
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:34,691
they will need more than skills.

133
00:20:35,817 --> 00:20:38,195
They will need a powerful ally.

134
00:20:41,323 --> 00:20:43,617
The Earth itself.

135
00:20:49,456 --> 00:20:51,541
A million years later…

136
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:56,838
…in the far north of Pangea,

137
00:20:58,340 --> 00:21:02,761
the darkest forces of nature
are waking up.

138
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:13,480
Various volcanic eruptions

139
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:17,276
they are creating a catastrophe.

140
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:22,990
A catastrophe that will alter
the fate of the dinosaurs.

141
00:21:27,953 --> 00:21:31,081
But the danger is not the lava.

142
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:36,670
It's a gas.

143
00:21:43,093 --> 00:21:45,387
carbon dioxide,

144
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:50,017
that fills the skies and warms the planet.

145
00:21:51,935 --> 00:21:58,900
The rise in temperatures
causes greater evaporation from the ocean.

146
00:22:10,537 --> 00:22:15,334
Huge clouds descend
to the continent Pangea.

147
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:33,935
But this rain will not be normal.

148
00:22:59,419 --> 00:23:02,089
Spreads across the globe…

149
00:23:06,426 --> 00:23:08,678
… giving rise to huge rivers

150
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:12,099
on the continent that was dry.

151
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:23,610
Known
as a Pluvial Episode of the Carnian…

152
00:23:27,030 --> 00:23:33,286
…these storms
will be the longest rain in history,

153
00:23:33,787 --> 00:23:36,873
with the duration
more than a million years old.

154
00:24:02,023 --> 00:24:05,110
When the rain finally stops,

155
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:10,407
Pangea emerges transformed.

156
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,957
A world reborn.

157
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:32,179
What were endless deserts
became forests.

158
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:40,896
New land that will help define
the course of the rise of the dinosaurs.

159
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:51,072
But first,
the reptile empire must fall.

160
00:25:02,459 --> 00:25:08,215
The air in these forests is thick
with the smell of tree resin.

161
00:25:15,931 --> 00:25:19,726
Here, nature is relentless.

162
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:29,194
The once-thriving herbivorous reptiles…

163
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:33,198
… are in decline.

164
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:47,587
This rhynchosaurus is alone

165
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,131
and is starving.

166
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:58,473
In this new world with huge trees…

167
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:03,562
… as plantas rasteiras
who once guaranteed

168
00:26:03,645 --> 00:26:05,564
the survival of their species…

169
00:26:08,316 --> 00:26:10,318
…they are all gone.

170
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:32,632
This female will not be able to survive,
if you don't get to the food.

171
00:26:52,235 --> 00:26:57,032
And she has a more pressing problem
than hunger.

172
00:27:05,165 --> 00:27:09,628
A relative of the fearsome Luperosuchus.

173
00:27:12,213 --> 00:27:15,008
For these carnivorous reptiles,

174
00:27:15,675 --> 00:27:19,679
this is a moment
of great opportunities.

175
00:27:32,609 --> 00:27:37,197
Unlike the agile female Marasuchus,
she is slow,

176
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:40,200
weak

177
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:42,327
and vulnerable.

178
00:27:59,969 --> 00:28:03,723
Once upon a time, rhynchosaurs
were the most successful

179
00:28:03,807 --> 00:28:06,142
of herbivorous reptiles.

180
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:14,025
Now its extinction
it's just a matter of time.

181
00:28:44,597 --> 00:28:48,977
As the kingdom of ancient reptiles
starts to fracture...

182
00:28:52,939 --> 00:28:56,693
…another type of animal is on the rise.

183
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,198
The dinosaurs.

184
00:29:10,874 --> 00:29:15,712
And in this changing world,
they have to be adaptable.

185
00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:19,758
227 MILLION YEARS AGO

186
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:22,343
They have to evolve.

187
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:28,141
They have to improve with time.

188
00:29:30,977 --> 00:29:36,107
And transform into shapes
that will help them survive.

189
00:29:39,402 --> 00:29:45,742
Finally, 12 million years
after the extinction of rhynchosaurs,

190
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:51,873
dinosaurs can start
coming out of the shadows.

191
00:29:58,421 --> 00:30:01,800
Tailor-made
as the end of the Triassic approaches,

192
00:30:03,009 --> 00:30:06,262
Vast forests still dominate the terrain,

193
00:30:07,222 --> 00:30:10,558
now greener than ever.

194
00:30:12,936 --> 00:30:17,148
And the dinosaurs
are reaping the benefits.

195
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:27,742
Like Plateosaurus,

196
00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:31,788
a pioneering dinosaur.

197
00:30:41,422 --> 00:30:44,926
This little girl and her sisters

198
00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:47,595
are embarking on a mission

199
00:30:48,721 --> 00:30:51,182
to explore your new world

200
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:58,439
almost without consideration
for the dangers they may face.

201
00:31:10,285 --> 00:31:13,705
They may not look bigger
than little Marasuchus…

202
00:31:17,166 --> 00:31:18,960
…but when they grow up,

203
00:31:19,752 --> 00:31:21,629
they get much bigger.

204
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:25,341
Much bigger.

205
00:31:28,469 --> 00:31:33,725
It's the first dinosaur
becoming giant.

206
00:31:37,770 --> 00:31:42,150
More than seven meters long,
have come a long way

207
00:31:42,233 --> 00:31:45,945
since your tiny ancestors
they fled at seven feet.

208
00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:54,787
And, unlike rhynchosaurs,

209
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:59,167
these giants arrive easily
to taller vegetation.

210
00:32:12,597 --> 00:32:17,852
They even have a trick to get there
to the tenderest shoots of all.

211
00:32:37,664 --> 00:32:39,582
Excessive, perhaps.

212
00:32:41,709 --> 00:32:43,044
But it's worth it.

213
00:32:46,339 --> 00:32:49,801
Because an adult Plateosaurus

214
00:32:49,884 --> 00:32:55,014
you have to eat 25 kilos of plants a day.

215
00:32:58,351 --> 00:33:01,854
And, to swallow all this food,

216
00:33:01,938 --> 00:33:05,608
it takes a lot of water.

217
00:33:41,102 --> 00:33:42,854
It's an easy life.

218
00:33:48,151 --> 00:33:51,112
But in the era of the first dinosaurs,

219
00:33:52,655 --> 00:33:57,326
even a giant like Plateosaurus
you have to be careful…

220
00:34:01,414 --> 00:34:06,210
…because there's another dinosaur on the rise.

221
00:34:07,795 --> 00:34:11,549
A newcomer who likes blood.

222
00:34:18,181 --> 00:34:20,224
The Procompsognathus.

223
00:34:22,435 --> 00:34:28,483
A carnivore with sharp teeth
and killer claws.

224
00:34:39,994 --> 00:34:44,999
One day, your descendants
will include Tyrannosaurus rex.

225
00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:50,922
But right now, this furious predator

226
00:34:51,964 --> 00:34:55,968
It's only the size of a turkey.

227
00:35:06,854 --> 00:35:11,901
Despite the fight these two dinosaurs
look uneven...

228
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:18,866
…it won’t be like this for long.

229
00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:27,416
Over time,

230
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:32,713
a great rivalry will grow
between two great dinosaur clans.

231
00:35:35,424 --> 00:35:36,926
Herbivores…

232
00:35:38,928 --> 00:35:40,805
…and the carnivores.

233
00:35:47,186 --> 00:35:49,147
But for now…

234
00:35:54,819 --> 00:36:00,116
…all dinosaurs face
a threat that goes beyond them.

235
00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:24,265
In water and on land,

236
00:36:24,348 --> 00:36:29,478
ancient reptiles continue
at the top of the food chain.

237
00:36:52,168 --> 00:36:56,505
Dinosaurs are growing
as a force in the world,

238
00:36:57,173 --> 00:36:59,217
but its rise is slow.

239
00:37:02,470 --> 00:37:06,724
The planet still belongs to reptiles.

240
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:14,357
For the dinosaurs to challenge them seriously,

241
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,568
it will take millions of years.

242
00:37:21,697 --> 00:37:24,617
Shaped by the dynamic forces of the Earth…

243
00:37:26,619 --> 00:37:28,412
…they become more fierce,

244
00:37:29,956 --> 00:37:31,624
most powerful

245
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:34,961
and more developed.

246
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:40,633
At the end of the Triassic,

247
00:37:40,716 --> 00:37:44,053
the dinosaurs are ready
to show what they're worth.

248
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:50,977
201 MILLION YEARS AGO

249
00:37:51,060 --> 00:37:55,231
But there are new creatures
who also want to dominate.

250
00:37:57,149 --> 00:37:59,694
And in the mountains of Pangea,

251
00:38:00,361 --> 00:38:04,699
some of them took off.

252
00:38:15,376 --> 00:38:16,711
Pterosaurs.

253
00:38:17,503 --> 00:38:22,508
Flying reptiles
with a wingspan of two meters.

254
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:31,392
And they are in total control
from the Triassic skies.

255
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:49,368
These jagged peaks

256
00:38:50,244 --> 00:38:52,371
These are mating sites.

257
00:39:08,262 --> 00:39:13,351
And this male saw a female.

258
00:39:17,563 --> 00:39:20,983
First, it drives out the competition.

259
00:39:28,824 --> 00:39:33,329
Now, it's time to woo.

260
00:39:48,344 --> 00:39:50,346
During these rituals,

261
00:39:50,429 --> 00:39:54,308
pterosaurs focus on each other,

262
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:57,061
not in what surrounds them.

263
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:02,942
And that can be fatal,

264
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:08,989
why dinosaurs
live in these canyons.

265
00:40:25,881 --> 00:40:29,802
The largest member of the carnivorous clan…

266
00:40:33,431 --> 00:40:35,099
…the Liliensternus.

267
00:40:38,477 --> 00:40:44,608
Twice the size of a grizzly bear,
with claws that tear flesh.

268
00:40:49,155 --> 00:40:52,450
And, with your keen sense of smell,

269
00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:57,246
this female detects everything.

270
00:41:31,864 --> 00:41:35,117
Dozens of eyes fly overhead.

271
00:41:37,077 --> 00:41:39,455
Even with your camouflage,

272
00:41:39,538 --> 00:41:42,958
one false step could unmask her.

273
00:43:01,912 --> 00:43:08,335
This moment opens a new chapter
in the rise of the dinosaurs.

274
00:43:11,005 --> 00:43:15,926
Finally, they are a force to fear.

275
00:43:22,349 --> 00:43:27,479
But the agitation of her attack
attracted another predator.

276
00:43:30,649 --> 00:43:35,654
Ancient reptiles have terrorized
dinosaurs from the beginning.

277
00:43:37,906 --> 00:43:41,118
But this will end.

278
00:43:44,747 --> 00:43:49,418
The female Liliensternus will not run away
into the shadows.

279
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:56,300
She knows how to defend herself.

280
00:44:08,145 --> 00:44:09,772
The problem is,

281
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:13,609
here, at the end of the Triassic,

282
00:44:14,943 --> 00:44:16,654
the soil

283
00:44:17,154 --> 00:44:22,868
is about to leave history
of dinosaurs in swamps.

284
