danger at every turn if you are a small

animal the late cretaceous would have

been awful time to be around for a

success story
19
00:00:53,469 --> 00:00:58,539
the largest dinosaurs grow as tall as a

six story building and weigh 50 tons or
21
00:00:58,539 --> 00:01:03,210
more
22
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:06,069
no land animal today even comes close
23
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:08,519
the jaws of a t-rex can leave a bite
24
00:01:06,069 --> 00:01:10,919
mark or feetball
25
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:13,319
and 12-inch teeth can penetrate deep
26
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,870
into flesh
27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:20,299
but every dime no matter how big or
28
00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:20,300
powerful starts out small varies

00:01:27,569 --> 00:01:33,658
Oklahoma 110 million years ago
30
00:01:34,620 --> 00:01:38,900
a herd of sauroposeidon para
31
00:01:39,049 --> 00:01:43,170
we're talking about an animal
32
00:01:41,069 --> 00:01:45,989
it was probably 80 or 90 feet long but
33
00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:47,609
about 40 feet of that was just neck so
34
00:01:45,989 --> 00:01:49,319
when it stuck its neck straight up it
35
00:01:47,609 --> 00:01:52,260
could probably reach about 60 feet up in
36
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:54,029
the air these leviathans are making a
37
00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:58,140
journey to nesting sites they've used
38
00:01:54,030 --> 00:02:01,859
for generations developing inside them
39
00:01:58,140 --> 00:02:04,200
are hundreds of eggs they're the future
40
00:02:01,859 --> 00:02:07,739
of a species that will be around for 15
41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:10,129
million years more than 75 times longer
42
00:02:07,739 --> 00:02:13,109
than modern humans have been on earth
43
00:02:10,129 --> 00:02:14,930
yet each egg is no larger than a
44
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:17,000
cantaloupe
45
00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:18,560
I think it's a very beautiful idea that
46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,789
you have this little egg that's
47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,408
surprisingly small
48
00:02:20,789 --> 00:02:24,269
the baby sauroposeidon that's about the
49
00:02:22,408 --> 00:02:28,459
size of a rabbit and in two or three
50
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:31,189
decades it's going to be a 50-ton adult
51
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:34,060
but just why does this huge animal have
52
00:02:31,189 --> 00:02:34,060
such small legs
53
00:02:34,889 --> 00:02:39,329
sauroposeidon eggs like all eggs are
54
00:02:37,409 --> 00:02:43,090
honeycombed with tiny pores to let
55
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:47,359
oxygen in and carbon dioxide out
56
00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:50,879
bigger eggs need more air holes but get
57
00:02:47,359 --> 00:02:53,430
too big and this tiny home collapses
58
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:56,159
that's why even today no bird lays a
59
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:59,360
larger egg than an ostrich an egg Wain
60
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,359
just over three pounds
61
00:03:03,539 --> 00:03:11,169
each female place about 500 X's CSUN
62
00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:15,539
this sounds like beginning of a sauropod
63
00:03:11,169 --> 00:03:15,539
population explosion but it's not
64
00:03:15,848 --> 00:03:21,149
the moment an egg hatches marks the
65
00:03:18,068 --> 00:03:26,818
beginning of a race for survival
66
00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:29,549
erase virtually every one of them being
67
00:03:26,818 --> 00:03:31,229
a hatchling you don't have horns you
68
00:03:29,549 --> 00:03:33,688
don't have plates they don't have any
69
00:03:31,229 --> 00:03:39,000
kind of armor on the body practically
70
00:03:33,688 --> 00:03:40,590
anything could gobble it up thousands of
71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,098
defenseless hatchlings are let loose
72
00:03:40,590 --> 00:03:46,459
into a world of fierce predators it's a
73
00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:48,780
brutal way to raise a family
74
00:03:46,459 --> 00:03:50,579
swarm pods were just trying to flood the
75
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:54,438
environment with babies just in the
76
00:03:50,579 --> 00:03:54,439
hopes that a few surviving
77
00:03:55,789 --> 00:04:01,669
in the Cretaceous plant-eaters faced
78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,670
vicious killers
79
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:08,889
and none has a worse reputation than
80
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:12,598
Tyrannosaurus Rex possibly the largest
81
00:04:08,889 --> 00:04:12,598
land predator that has ever lived
82
00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:19,959
t-rex is sort of the quintessential
83
00:04:16,610 --> 00:04:22,810
monster a dinosaur with an attitude
84
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:25,300
a Tyrannosaurus Rex who wrote 18 feet
85
00:04:22,810 --> 00:04:28,620
tall and over energy flow with jaws
86
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,620
designed to tear me to shreds
87
00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:35,129
this beasts reputation for violence and
88
00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:35,129
terror is unmatched
89
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,269
but a t-rex comes into the world
90
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:44,189
protected like few others in the
91
00:04:39,269 --> 00:04:47,879
Cretaceous if you say train asaurus rex
92
00:04:44,189 --> 00:04:51,719
i think of gentleness i think of superb
93
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:53,718
motherhood and a struggle to raise ones
94
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,419
chicks
95
00:04:53,718 --> 00:04:58,908
the dreaded Tyrannosaurus Rex it turns
96
00:04:56,418 --> 00:05:02,118
out is one of the most nurturing of all
97
00:04:58,908 --> 00:05:03,889
dinosaur parents it means taking care of
98
00:05:02,119 --> 00:05:05,989
the eggs sticking around the nest
99
00:05:03,889 --> 00:05:08,478
finding the nest and keeping traffic
100
00:05:05,988 --> 00:05:11,808
track of its progress Tyrannosaurus Rex
101
00:05:08,478 --> 00:05:14,118
means tyrant lizard king and this beast
102
00:05:11,809 --> 00:05:16,338
rules a world where physical traits more
103
00:05:14,119 --> 00:05:18,199
than intelligence determine winners and
104
00:05:16,338 --> 00:05:21,649
losers
105
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:23,960
the t-rex has both superb biomechanics
106
00:05:21,649 --> 00:05:28,429
and by dinosaurs standards a stellar
107
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:31,609
intellect it was the results of many
108
00:05:28,430 --> 00:05:36,439
many millions of years of specialization
109
00:05:31,610 --> 00:05:38,658
for large body size for focus on prey
110
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:42,970
for sensory apparatus and for the
111
00:05:38,658 --> 00:05:44,949
ability to dispatch a large herbivore
112
00:05:42,970 --> 00:05:46,390
with things like train asaurus rex do
113
00:05:44,949 --> 00:05:48,370
you have bigger brains you have the
114
00:05:46,389 --> 00:05:49,689
option for more complex behaviors
115
00:05:48,370 --> 00:05:53,649
especially when it comes to parental
116
00:05:49,689 --> 00:05:55,990
care for 3 months an adult delicately
117
00:05:53,649 --> 00:05:58,179
guards the nest to ensure the survival
118
00:05:55,990 --> 00:06:01,269
of their youngsters and the continuation
119
00:05:58,180 --> 00:06:02,889
of their genes you've got to have
120
00:06:01,269 --> 00:06:05,759
somebody that's very very attentive when
121
00:06:02,889 --> 00:06:05,759
these little things hatch
122
00:06:06,329 --> 00:06:13,438
inside the a the embryo breathes in
123
00:06:09,158 --> 00:06:13,438
oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide
124
00:06:14,050 --> 00:06:20,350
the co2 dissolves in fluid making
125
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:21,939
carbonic acid as that slowly weakens the
126
00:06:20,350 --> 00:06:26,000
chef
127
00:06:21,939 --> 00:06:28,579
suddenly something miraculous happens
128
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,550
a three-foot long t-rex chick breaks
129
00:06:28,579 --> 00:06:33,199
free you can imagine t-rex helping its
130
00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:37,009
young out of the shell even with those
131
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:40,870
big giant jaws the hatchling is tiny
132
00:06:37,009 --> 00:06:40,870
compared to its gigantic parodies
133
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:49,399
and this error to the t-rex throne is
134
00:06:44,689 --> 00:06:52,699
immediately under threat tyrannosaurus
135
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:55,159
rex and when we think about it we tend
136
00:06:52,699 --> 00:06:57,349
to think of the big adult because that's
137
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,360
skeletons that we think we open that we
138
00:06:57,350 --> 00:07:02,120
see but we know that they didn't hatch
139
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,850
that way once those eggs hatched we've
140
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,470
got an animal it's maybe three feet long
141
00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:10,700
maybe weighs about five to five to eight
142
00:07:06,470 --> 00:07:14,000
pounds comparing that to the adults
143
00:07:10,699 --> 00:07:17,360
which might weigh as much as seven tons
144
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,360
and be 40 feet in length you know how is
145
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,730
this animal gonna be careful to not step
146
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,530
on these little little beasts if let
147
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:25,819
alone try to protect them and try to
148
00:07:24,529 --> 00:07:26,889
make sure that they're going to be cared
149
00:07:25,819 --> 00:07:29,719
for
150
00:07:26,889 --> 00:07:31,399
there's nothing fearsome about them sure
151
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,660
maybe someday they'll become a fearsome
152
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:35,120
animal but at that time they're just a
153
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:37,910
meatball on legs
154
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,168
wherever this t-rex looks he stares
155
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:41,169
danger in the face
156
00:07:44,329 --> 00:07:51,419
there were crocodiles medium-large does
157
00:07:47,899 --> 00:07:55,229
gigantic that could could plop down
158
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:59,670
swallow baby t-rexes like maraschino
159
00:07:55,230 --> 00:08:01,650
cherries clearly a young t-rex is very
160
00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:03,270
susceptible to be eaten by just about
161
00:08:01,649 --> 00:08:07,620
everybody else who's around who likes to
162
00:08:03,269 --> 00:08:09,549
eat meat and danger isn't limited to the
163
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:12,660
ground
164
00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:15,280
sometimes it dives out of the sky
165
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:19,150
Quetzalcoatl is a foreign account flying
166
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:21,089
universe reptile circles waiting for
167
00:08:19,149 --> 00:08:24,219
just the right moment to strike
168
00:08:21,089 --> 00:08:27,658
Quetzalcoatl Assad make all other
169
00:08:24,220 --> 00:08:30,909
animals in the Late Cretaceous stare
170
00:08:27,658 --> 00:08:33,629
with a 42 foot wingspan they could shut
171
00:08:30,908 --> 00:08:33,629
out the Sun
172
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,979
one tool that makes this flying reptile
173
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:43,799
so effective is a highly advanced Bible
174
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:45,810
its eyes are built like hawks and are
175
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,829
able to see with four times the clarity
176
00:08:45,809 --> 00:08:50,949
of the human eye
177
00:08:47,830 --> 00:08:54,520
add to that a retina over 4 inches wide
178
00:08:50,950 --> 00:08:56,950
contained over a billion light receptors
179
00:08:54,519 --> 00:09:00,059
and you've got a reptile that sees the
180
00:08:56,950 --> 00:09:00,060
world in high-def
181
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:04,340
probably weren't many animals the
182
00:09:03,019 --> 00:09:07,819
Cretaceous that would dare to try to
183
00:09:04,340 --> 00:09:10,700
grab a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex ketse
184
00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:13,220
koalas could probably manage it you see
185
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:15,440
a stork on the Nile today eating a baby
186
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:15,920
crocodile and you can imagine in your
187
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,050
mind
188
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:22,159
Quetzalcoatlus eating a baby Taranis or
189
00:09:18,049 --> 00:09:23,569
65 million years ago I never know how
190
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,860
well tereus was could count but I
191
00:09:23,570 --> 00:09:26,480
imagine mom would be a little bit
192
00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:29,330
perplexed when suddenly she was down the
193
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,659
506 and there was no sign of where it
194
00:09:29,330 --> 00:09:31,660
had gone
195
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,839
for a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex danger
196
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:42,539
lurks everywhere but at least he has a
197
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:45,090
fighting chance
198
00:09:42,539 --> 00:09:48,480
for sauroposeidon it's another story all
199
00:09:45,090 --> 00:09:53,269
together they are born defenseless and
200
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,269
worse they are born alone
201
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,669
if you want to have intensive trettel
202
00:09:56,688 --> 00:10:00,349
care you can only take care of a limited
203
00:09:58,669 --> 00:10:01,938
number of offspring if you want to have
204
00:10:00,350 --> 00:10:04,069
lots of offspring you have to have
205
00:10:01,938 --> 00:10:07,219
little or no parental care these four
206
00:10:04,068 --> 00:10:09,938
putts took that route from birth
207
00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:13,519
sauroposeidon is in a race for survival
208
00:10:09,938 --> 00:10:16,208
for every 3000 hatchlings only one will
209
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,209
make it to adulthood
210
00:10:16,278 --> 00:10:22,789
and to become that one survivor it must
211
00:10:18,948 --> 00:10:25,159
fend for itself for years for this
212
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:28,838
future behemoth there's just one rule
213
00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:28,838
grow or die
214
00:10:28,940 --> 00:10:32,810
when you look at sauropod tract sites
215
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:34,490
where we have tracks of hundreds of
216
00:10:32,809 --> 00:10:36,169
individuals all together there's a
217
00:10:34,490 --> 00:10:38,750
curious thing these big groups of
218
00:10:36,169 --> 00:10:41,360
sauropods always include only the adults
219
00:10:38,750 --> 00:10:44,570
and the animals down to about one third
220
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,180
of full size for a juvenile
221
00:10:44,570 --> 00:10:50,360
sauroposeidon growing up alone means
222
00:10:47,179 --> 00:10:51,919
growing up in constant danger so think
223
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,919
about a juveniles website that's the
224
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:57,589
size of a pony or a horse it has no
225
00:10:54,919 --> 00:11:01,009
sharp teeth no plates no spikes no horns
226
00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:03,230
no armor it's not even very fast and so
227
00:11:01,009 --> 00:11:04,970
what would happen to those juveniles for
228
00:11:03,230 --> 00:11:09,129
poseidon's if they were faced by the
229
00:11:04,970 --> 00:11:09,129
pack of Deinonychus well they would die
230
00:11:09,610 --> 00:11:14,950
sauroposeidon navigates a world of
231
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,470
hungry predators
232
00:11:14,950 --> 00:11:19,420
when you start off coming coming out of
233
00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:22,810
the egg and your lesson say 2 feet long
234
00:11:19,419 --> 00:11:24,019
and you're in a world full of predators
235
00:11:22,809 --> 00:11:26,449
not alone
236
00:11:24,019 --> 00:11:28,250
crunch on you then you need to get big
237
00:11:26,450 --> 00:11:30,650
fairly quickly
238
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:33,490
the cards seems stacked against this
239
00:11:30,649 --> 00:11:33,490
future Titan
240
00:11:34,028 --> 00:11:40,269
with odds like these how will this
241
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:40,270
massive creatures survive
242
00:11:44,409 --> 00:11:49,339
Tyrannosaurus Rex a skull almost 5 feet
243
00:11:48,289 --> 00:11:53,319
long
244
00:11:49,340 --> 00:11:58,089
up to 62 teeth
245
00:11:53,320 --> 00:12:00,189
able to cover 15 feet in a single stride
246
00:11:58,089 --> 00:12:03,660
this is one of the biggest carnivorous
247
00:12:00,188 --> 00:12:07,909
dinosaurs ever to walk
248
00:12:03,659 --> 00:12:10,139
t-rex says bone crushing teeth there you
249
00:12:07,909 --> 00:12:12,539
have two three or four times the
250
00:12:10,139 --> 00:12:14,870
strength for the body size of any other
251
00:12:12,539 --> 00:12:14,870
need
252
00:12:16,190 --> 00:12:21,009
yet a t-rex is born into a world of
253
00:12:18,589 --> 00:12:21,009
enemies
254
00:12:24,669 --> 00:12:31,089
survival even for a king this in no way
255
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:34,430
preordained
256
00:12:31,090 --> 00:12:37,850
herbivores are not dummies they'll try
257
00:12:34,429 --> 00:12:41,229
to remove the dangerous elements and a
258
00:12:37,850 --> 00:12:41,230
peremptory strike
259
00:12:42,590 --> 00:12:48,620
if you're a baby Taranis or every mega
260
00:12:45,950 --> 00:12:51,100
herbivore in the environment wants to
261
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:51,100
crush you
262
00:12:51,629 --> 00:12:57,299
it's as if somehow inside the tiny brain
263
00:12:54,778 --> 00:13:00,958
but Triceratops a fearful picture
264
00:12:57,299 --> 00:13:03,419
emerges an image that one day this tiny
265
00:13:00,958 --> 00:13:05,469
t-rex chick will grow into a menacing
266
00:13:03,419 --> 00:13:07,719
monster
267
00:13:05,470 --> 00:13:10,199
able to tear this planet teacher limb
268
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,199
from limb
269
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:16,320
but perhaps their greatest enemy it's a
270
00:13:13,450 --> 00:13:16,320
bit more familiar
271
00:13:18,049 --> 00:13:23,509
probably the greatest danger to a baby
272
00:13:20,269 --> 00:13:26,839
t-rex is another t-rex defender from
273
00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:29,330
over the hill because Darwinian calculus
274
00:13:26,839 --> 00:13:31,250
tells you the predator to eliminate your
275
00:13:29,330 --> 00:13:33,430
competition other predators whenever you
276
00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:33,429
can
277
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,639
maiya Lions defend their cups against
278
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:42,169
rivals who see their offspring as future
279
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:42,169
competition for food grades
280
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:50,870
wouldn't an intelligent predator like
281
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:52,429
t-rex make the same calculation compared
282
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:54,259
to prehistoric plant eaters
283
00:13:52,429 --> 00:13:58,239
it's cerebral the part of the brain
284
00:13:54,259 --> 00:14:00,519
associated with strategy is huge
285
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,269
so is the cerebellum which controls
286
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:06,879
muscle function this is an animal that
287
00:14:04,269 --> 00:14:09,028
can plan and execute a devastating
288
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:09,028
attack
289
00:14:14,889 --> 00:14:17,789
hardwired
290
00:14:17,970 --> 00:14:21,999
if you're trying to increase your
291
00:14:20,049 --> 00:14:23,558
evolutionary advantage the best thing
292
00:14:21,999 --> 00:14:24,909
you can do is get more offspring into
293
00:14:23,558 --> 00:14:26,289
the future generation and one of the
294
00:14:24,909 --> 00:14:27,490
best ways you can do that is to take
295
00:14:26,289 --> 00:14:31,448
better care of the offspring that you
296
00:14:27,490 --> 00:14:34,119
produce laying eggs nearly depletes the
297
00:14:31,448 --> 00:14:38,558
female she needs nourishment to stay
298
00:14:34,119 --> 00:14:40,660
strong and nourishment needs meat while
299
00:14:38,558 --> 00:14:44,278
she searches out her next meal the male
300
00:14:40,659 --> 00:14:44,278
stays behind to guard the nest
301
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:51,929
luckily a Tyrannosaurus Rex on the hunt
302
00:14:49,769 --> 00:14:54,810
is guided by some of the keenest senses
303
00:14:51,929 --> 00:14:57,539
in the Cretaceous its eyesight would
304
00:14:54,809 --> 00:15:00,149
actually have been very very good the
305
00:14:57,539 --> 00:15:03,088
eyes of a t-rex urge I get the size of
306
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:06,419
softballs a large retina collects more
307
00:15:03,089 --> 00:15:09,089
light more visual information the result
308
00:15:06,419 --> 00:15:12,078
t-rex will clearly see prey from his far
309
00:15:09,089 --> 00:15:12,079
away's for miles
310
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,960
critically both eyes face forwards and
311
00:15:15,779 --> 00:15:20,909
their line of sight overlaps so each eye
312
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,250
looks at the same object from a slightly
313
00:15:20,909 --> 00:15:25,948
different angle
314
00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:29,389
that means t-rex can experience the
315
00:15:25,948 --> 00:15:29,389
world in three dimensions
316
00:15:31,389 --> 00:15:36,749
there's very little in the environment
317
00:15:33,548 --> 00:15:39,730
of t-rex that would escape his attention
318
00:15:36,749 --> 00:15:42,670
for a hunter hungry after months of
319
00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:46,149
growing her eggs making a kill may mean
320
00:15:42,669 --> 00:15:51,338
the difference between life and death
321
00:15:46,149 --> 00:15:53,919
a kyla Soros is an herbivore but it's a
322
00:15:51,339 --> 00:15:56,010
tank of a reptile covered in steel tough
323
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:59,099
armor
324
00:15:56,009 --> 00:16:01,649
t-rex 3d vision pulls this animal clear
325
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:04,560
of the background could this plant eater
326
00:16:01,649 --> 00:16:07,230
be dinner t-rex is impressive and its
327
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:10,609
powerful but compared to an ankylosaurus
328
00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:10,610
relatively lightly built
329
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:14,490
protective plates made of bone and
330
00:16:12,990 --> 00:16:18,209
cartilage covered this lumbering
331
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:20,370
creature from head to tail light but
332
00:16:18,208 --> 00:16:22,559
extremely strong the hide of
333
00:16:20,370 --> 00:16:25,129
ankylosaurus is built like a bulletproof
334
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:27,659
vest and that's not all
335
00:16:25,129 --> 00:16:28,259
ankylosaurus is armed with the deadly
336
00:16:27,659 --> 00:16:33,088
weapon
337
00:16:28,259 --> 00:16:36,059
a bony Club if that quote were to
338
00:16:33,089 --> 00:16:38,820
connect into the skull of the t-rex pour
339
00:16:36,059 --> 00:16:42,479
into the shin and foot of the t-rex it
340
00:16:38,820 --> 00:16:44,850
would shatter those bones I think that
341
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:49,129
one good blow by the tail club would be
342
00:16:44,850 --> 00:16:49,129
enough to deter this Tyrannosaurus
343
00:16:50,570 --> 00:16:57,020
and Kaila Saurus are plant eaters yet
344
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:59,000
they're designed to kill even a
345
00:16:57,019 --> 00:17:01,179
Tyrannosaurus Rex would have to be at
346
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,220
the top of his game to bring one down
347
00:17:01,179 --> 00:17:06,289
the t-rex is a refined array of senses
348
00:17:04,220 --> 00:17:09,529
sensors that just might lead the way
349
00:17:06,289 --> 00:17:12,289
directly to a meal an acute sense of
350
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:14,329
smell for one behind the nostrils are
351
00:17:12,289 --> 00:17:16,549
large cavernous chambers lined with
352
00:17:14,329 --> 00:17:19,669
sheets of sensory tissue able to detect
353
00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:22,609
odors the olfactory bulbs transmit that
354
00:17:19,670 --> 00:17:25,340
information back to the brain one of the
355
00:17:22,609 --> 00:17:27,859
big surprises was the size of the
356
00:17:25,339 --> 00:17:30,139
olfactory bulbs part of the brain
357
00:17:27,859 --> 00:17:33,019
associated with processing information
358
00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:34,850
about smells in the environment to
359
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:37,519
increase the number of odor detectors
360
00:17:34,849 --> 00:17:40,740
the area containing sensory tissue is
361
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:43,200
designed like a radiator
362
00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:43,740
a t-rex do pick up the slightest whiff
363
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,000
of me
364
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:50,370
visit faintly blobs across the landscape
365
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,650
t-rex had a sense of smell equivalent to
366
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:54,479
a hundred bloodhounds all duct-taped
367
00:17:52,650 --> 00:17:56,910
together they certainly had the largest
368
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,480
olfactory lobe of any animal living or
369
00:17:56,910 --> 00:18:02,788
extinct in this planet a super sense of
370
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,729
smell is a hunter's dream
371
00:18:02,788 --> 00:18:09,569
from a substantial distance a t-rex can
372
00:18:05,729 --> 00:18:13,009
zero in on prey or pick up their
373
00:18:09,569 --> 00:18:13,009
hatchlings distinct scent
374
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:19,640
and when you look into the face of a
375
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:23,599
t-rex something else becomes obvious the
376
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:25,840
nostrils are a full 10 inches apart but
377
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:25,839
why
378
00:18:25,859 --> 00:18:34,319
it means t-rex can smell in stereo this
379
00:18:30,179 --> 00:18:38,309
carnival can triangulate and pinpoint
380
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:40,798
its exact source t-rex could walk into a
381
00:18:38,308 --> 00:18:44,250
crowded auditorium and in a few seconds
382
00:18:40,798 --> 00:18:46,109
identify every single person and
383
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:51,359
creature by its own
384
00:18:46,109 --> 00:18:54,259
it isn't credit odors this female is
385
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,259
desperate to eat
386
00:18:54,829 --> 00:19:00,199
she picks up the scent of the meal but
387
00:18:57,980 --> 00:19:02,420
it's the scent of an animal all but the
388
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,690
strongest Tyrannosaurus prefer not to
389
00:19:02,420 --> 00:19:07,509
mess with
390
00:19:04,690 --> 00:19:11,379
that's the the most dangerous challenge
391
00:19:07,509 --> 00:19:15,069
that any day carnivore ever faced is the
392
00:19:11,378 --> 00:19:20,098
swinging head of treasure it's like a
393
00:19:15,069 --> 00:19:20,098
gigantic white rhinoceros on steroids
394
00:19:21,230 --> 00:19:27,110
26 feet long and 10 feet tall a
395
00:19:24,259 --> 00:19:28,769
full-grown Triceratops can reach six
396
00:19:27,109 --> 00:19:30,689
tons in weight
397
00:19:28,769 --> 00:19:33,619
there's an animal whose scent would
398
00:19:30,690 --> 00:19:33,620
frighten a t-rex
399
00:19:33,819 --> 00:19:37,349
it's triceratons
400
00:19:38,349 --> 00:19:45,379
t-rex is well aware of the risks
401
00:19:42,769 --> 00:19:46,769
it's cerebral has information stored
402
00:19:45,380 --> 00:19:50,660
from previous guns
403
00:19:46,769 --> 00:19:50,660
who knows the danger ahead
404
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,900
turning a triceratops into lunch means
405
00:19:54,589 --> 00:20:00,279
overpowering a beast with three-foot
406
00:19:56,900 --> 00:20:04,890
long horns she didn't rock our keratin
407
00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:04,889
and a body protected by a bony sheaf
408
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:15,359
but possibly the survival of her genes
409
00:20:12,509 --> 00:20:18,259
for another generation might be just one
410
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,259
fight away
411
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:24,899
imagine that the conflict between
412
00:20:21,210 --> 00:20:27,420
Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops may have
413
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:30,570
been one of the greatest combats that
414
00:20:27,420 --> 00:20:33,060
Nature has ever had and is well
415
00:20:30,569 --> 00:20:36,029
protected herbivore is everywhere in
416
00:20:33,059 --> 00:20:37,679
fact in the Late Cretaceous Triceratops
417
00:20:36,029 --> 00:20:40,889
outnumbered Tyrannosaurus
418
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,950
ten to one their success is down to one
419
00:20:40,890 --> 00:20:46,080
reason single thrust of the brow horn
420
00:20:43,950 --> 00:20:48,690
could penetrate right into cardiac
421
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:50,669
chamber for the lungs if you're gonna
422
00:20:48,690 --> 00:20:52,320
put a metre long horn into a chest
423
00:20:50,670 --> 00:20:57,140
cavity of a t-rex the chance of you
424
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:57,139
doing some damage are pretty great
425
00:21:01,808 --> 00:21:07,908
source rest the staff
426
00:21:05,138 --> 00:21:09,769
Triceratops and herbivore it's the best
427
00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:11,690
of the king of Cretaceous the key
428
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:14,240
element for any predator is to go in
429
00:21:11,690 --> 00:21:16,490
make the kill get what they need and do
430
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:20,028
it without injuring himself
431
00:21:16,490 --> 00:21:22,628
for a carnivorous predator
432
00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:22,628
could be failed
433
00:21:24,059 --> 00:21:29,319
back at the nest the chicks are guarded
434
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:33,579
only by the male
435
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:36,189
a Quetzalcoatl's senses blood on the
436
00:21:33,579 --> 00:21:40,419
ground one parent is down and the other
437
00:21:36,190 --> 00:21:43,180
faces starvation baby t-rex
438
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:45,450
it seems the situation could we get much
439
00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:45,450
worse
440
00:21:51,369 --> 00:21:57,799
sauroposeidon is the tallest land animal
441
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,500
of all time at 60 feet high and almost
442
00:21:57,799 --> 00:22:02,859
100 feet long it would for any living
443
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:05,440
creature today
444
00:22:02,859 --> 00:22:08,809
yet despite these mammoth proportions
445
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,670
its brain is tiny weighing just four
446
00:22:08,809 --> 00:22:13,069
ounces
447
00:22:10,670 --> 00:22:14,600
the brain size of surface ID would
448
00:22:13,069 --> 00:22:17,599
probably be about the size of a
449
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:20,029
cheeseburger probably had the smallest
450
00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:23,928
brain size to body size of any big
