Dino Dana!

[roar]

[Dana] Dino Flies.

Dana, what's taking so ah!

Hi Mom!

What are you doing?

Taking a bath.

Dressed like a monster?

Oh, this.

This isn't a monster, Mom.

It's one of the largest insects of all time.

The Maganeura.

Looks like a monster to me.

I can see why you would think that.

The Maganeura were like dragonflies

just way more giant.

They had four wings like dragonflies.

A long tail like dragonflies

and huge eyes like Dragonflies.

I got it.

Yeah, but where we only have one lens in each of our eyes,

they have 30 000

which means they could literally see all around them

all the time.

Do you know what I'm not seeing?

[Dana] Me taking a bath?

Exactly, in you go.

But Mom.

I need to see the Maganeura up close.

Dragonflies are part of the Odonata family of insects.

Odon means tooth

but dragonflies don't have teeth so I need to get up close

to see how they eat their food which is why...

You are dressed like one.

Let me guess. They like to hang out together?

Sort of. They ate each other.

That's terrible. Like I said, monsters.

Bath.

But Mom.

Lots of insects eat their own kind.

I'm trying to eat here.

It's how they make sure only the strongest survive.

Nature can be cruel.

And so can moms. Bath time.

You. Now.

You haven't taken a bath yet?

I got to shower before my shift at the hospital.

-I have a suggestion. -I bet you do.

I'm willing to let Dad use the bathroom first

because I love him.

Oh, thanks, Nugget.

[Mom] How kind of you Dana.

Hm and I guess if you let Dad go first

that also gives you extra time

to look for your monster insect?

Oh, didn't think of it that way

but I guess that would be an added benefit.

Off you go then.

I'll be quick.

Try not to get eaten by that insect, Dana.

I'll do my best, Dad.

But I can't promise anything.

Okay.

[baby cries]

Five more minutes, Dana. Then bath time.

Understood.

The Maganeura.

Where did you go, Maganeura?

Did you crash land somewhere around here?

Maganeura?

Hello, friend.

Want to show me how you eat your food?

No. I'm not the food.

I may not have thought this through fully.

I should go.

Except you're not going to let me go.

Think, Dana, think.

Look at your four wings.

They're really incredible.

So incredible that scientists think

you could fly in six directions.

You could fly to one side.

The other.

Down. Up.

Backward and forward too.

Or just hover. Like a helicopter.

Well, I may not be able to fly in as many directions as you

but I can run.

Wee!

[Dad] Dana, I have to go to work.

I can't let you go, Dad.

There's a hungry Maganeura out there.

I think I can survive an insect, Nugget.

That's probably what the dinosaurs thought too

but guess what?

They didn't.

Maganeura were around before the dinosaurs existed.

That's over 250 million years ago

and they survived after the dinosaurs went extinct

65 million years ago

which means that the Maganeura lasted

for hundreds of millions of years.

Thanks for all that information but I'm gong to be late.

No, Dad! Wait!

[Dad screams]

Dad!

A spider landed on my shoulder.

Hoo. Ah.

I think it's gone.

Spiders aren't insects, technically.

[Mom] Dana, guess what?

What?

The bathroom's free.

[sighs]

♪ ♪

Perfect. I'll leave you to it then.

What's wrong?

I thought you got to see your monster dragonfly.

Sort of but because it was trying to eat me

I didn't get an up-close look at how it eats its food.

Maybe you shouldn't dress like it's dinner then.

What else did it eat?

Anything around ponds where they lived

like other insects or...

small reptiles.

I bet if I attach some beef jerky to Dexter's toy lizard,

the Magenura would come and I could get a better look at it.

Then you should do that.

After your bath.

But Mom.

What if I get dirty outside?

Then I'd have to take another bath to get clean again.

It's a vicious cycle.

Yeah, and we'd be wasting water.

I don't want to hurt the environment just to be clean.

No, we wouldn't want that, would we?

Do you think five minutes outside would do it?

Ten would be better.

-Four minutes? -Five. Five is great.

Thanks, Mom.

♪ ♪

Small reptile bait set.

Now all I have to do is wait for the...

Maganeura.

[sighs]

♪ ♪

Did you not see the Mega monster?

No, I did.

So then why the sad face?

Because I only saw it for like a second.

Dragonflies are the fastest flying insects on Earth.

They can fly almost as fast as a cheetah can run.

I guess Maganeura were the same.

Sorry, sweetie.

[Dana] That's okay, Mom.

I'll get to see it eat its food one day.

I guess I'll go have my bath now.

Wait a minute.

Where did you say the Maganeura lived again?

If you can't visit a pond,

bring the pond to you.

This is perfect, Mom.

Now you can get clean and finish your experiment.

It's actually more observational research than an experiment.

Whatever. Get in the tub.

[laughs]

Thanks again, Mom.

You're welcome.

Maganeura and you still have Dexter's lizard.

Perfect.

This is incredible.

Of course.

Dragonflies don't have teeth.

But they do have two mandibles they use

to crunch up their food.

I guess Maganeura do the same thing.

Are you cleaning yourself?

I guess it's bath time for both of us.

Dino Dana!

[roar]

[Dana] Winging It.

[Dad] Is it working, Dana?

Nothing's taking the bait.

Maybe if the kite flew?

Dana, we might have to come back on a windier day.

But Dad, today is your only day off this week

and you said you would help me with Dino Experiment 720.

Which is the fasted flying prehistoric winged reptile?

The Microraptor, the Archaeopteryx

or Pterodactylus?

[whirring]

What is that?

A drone.

I bet I know who it belongs to.

Uncle Ravi?

Hey, little niece.

Hey, little man.

Why depend on wind

when you can depend on expensive,

state of the art technology?

And why depend on someone to show up on time to fly kites

when they can show up two hours late with a drone?

Expensive drone.

Dad, this drone could really help us

with our dino experiment.

But I thought you wanted the prehistoric creatures

to chase the lizard kite

so you could see which one is the fastest.

Dad, prehistoric creatures

evolved wings for two reasons;

to chase food like our lizard kite

or get away from predators.

Like my drone.

Predator and prey.

It's always been our relationship.

Thanks, Uncle Ravi.

Actually, you may want me to give you a flying lesson.

That's a little bit complicated.

You coming, Dad?

Uh, I'm going to hang back

and see if I can make this kite lighter.

I'll supervise.

You sure you want to do that?

I got it.

[squawking]

[Dana] Microraptor and Archaeopteryx spotted.

Dino Experiment 720.

Which was the fastest prehistoric winged reptile

has begun.

Our first race is between the microraptor

who is a dinosaur with four wings to glide.

Two on its arms and two on its legs.

And the Archaeopteryx who is the first bird

with two big wings on it's side for flapping.

[squawks]

It's dinosaur versus prehistoric bird time.

Now to make them think I'm a predator.

Squawk!

And we're off.

[squawking and buzzing]

It's beak to beak.

[squawking and buzzing]

The microraptor is slowing down

just as the Archaeopteryx is speeding up.

[squawks]

Looks like two wings for flapping

are better than four wings for gliding.

[squawks]

It's okay, Microraptor.

You're one of the few dinosaurs that could glide.

[squawks]

He still seems upset.

Congrats, Archaeopteryx.

Looks like being the first bird

also let's you come in first.

But there's still one more race to go.

Nice work, Dad but we don't need the kite anymore.

Uncle Ravi's drone worked perfectly.

Dino Experiment 720 update.

I proved the archaeopteryx is faster than the microraptor

which makes sense because birds can fly

and dinosaurs can only glide.

You hear that, Aman?

The microwaver isn't as fast as the arche-optomitrist.

Microraptor and Archaeopteryx.

Yeah, pretty sure that's exactly what I said.

[scoffs]

[squawking]

[Dana] A Pterodactylus.

Now I can finish my dino experiment

and see who's faster;

the Archaeopteryx or the Pterodactylus.

Can I go?

Go ahead, Nugget.

I was asking Uncle Ravi if I could use his drone again.

Go ahead, Nugget.

Thanks!

She really likes my drone, huh?

I don't know why you always have to one up me.

Hey, come on.

I did not one up you.

I at least five upped you.

[laughs]

Come on.

I thought it was funny.

[squawks]

[Dana] Dino Experiment 720.

Which was the fastest prehistoric winged reptile

continues.

Second race is between the returning champ,

Archaeopteryx and the Pterodactylus.

They both have two wings for flapping.

It's prehistoric bird versus Pterosaur time.

And now for my predator to scare them.

Roar!

[both squawk]

They're not scared of the drone.

I think they figured out it's not going to eat them.

Now how am I going to prove

which prehistoric winged reptile is the fastest?

[both squawk]

Where's Dad?

Just packing up.

Hey, so how did it go?

Dino Experiment solved?

Not even close.

The drone didn't scare the Archaeopteryx

or the Pterodactylus.

What should I do now?

You said that prehistoric creatures have wings

for two reasons, right?

Right.

To chase food or get away from predators.

Exactly.

I have an idea. Wait here.

Aman.

Ravi.

Dana needs your help.

Her experiment's not working.

Oh, your expensive drone didn't fix everything?

No, she said it's not scaring the winged things anymore.

She needs your lizard kite as bait.

Ha, ha. You know it doesn't fly.

Not on its own but maybe if we worked together

my drone could fly your kite.

I could lift you up like I always do.

Like you always do?

Man, come on.

I'm just teasing, like when we were kids.

Yeah, and sometimes you took it too far

and you still do.

-Okay, I'm. -You're what?

I'm S...

You're s?

-You know what I am. -Say it.

Okay. I'm...

You want me to call Mom?

I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.

Now you say you forgive me.

I...

F...

You want me to call Dad?

-I forgive you, okay? -Let's get to work.

[Dana] Great idea, Uncle Ravi.

And thank you Dad for building me this kite.

Time to solve my dino experiment.

[cell phone rings]

It's Mom.

[cell phone rings]

It's Dad.

I think we're in trouble.

You go ahead, Nugget.

[cell phones ring]

-Hi, Mom. -Hi, Dad.

[Dana] Dino Experiment 720 continues.

Now it's really prehistoric bird versus pterosaur time.

My prediction is that the Archaeopteryx is faster

because birds are still around today.

Looks like they're hungry.

[both squawk]

[both squawk]

They're both flapping their wings!

But the Archaeopteryx can't flap it's wings

as much as the Pterodactylus can.

The Pterodactyluses bigger flaps are speeding it up.

Looks like two wings that can do bigger flaps

are faster than two wings that can't.

[squawks]

Don't worry, Archaeopteryx.

Even though you're not as fast as the Pterodactylus,

birds have survived for 65 millions years longer

than the dinosaurs or Pterosaurs.

Congrats, Pterodactylus.

You're the fastest prehistoric winged reptile.

And you're about to get the bait.

[squawks]

-Oh! My drone! -Ah! My kite!

Wasn't me. It was the Pterodactylus.

But good news, I solved Dino Experiment 720.

The Pterodactylus was the fastest

flying prehistoric winged reptile.

My conclusion is because the Pterodactylus

came before the Archaeopteryx,

it had more time to perfect flying.

You know what? I agree with that.

Older is better.

I don't think that's what she was saying.

Let's not really argue about that right now, little man.

We are late for dinner at Mom and Dad's.

Oh, that gives me an idea for an experiment.

Let's see who can get to the van fastest.

You're on. Wait, no fair! Head start! No!

Wait up!
