[bunniefuu]

Hello, folks! It's me the conductor. Today, we're gonna

Meet a meat-eater named king.

He wears a kind of crown, a flashy crest on his head, so

Come on along with me on the dinosaur train! All aboard!

Oh, ho! That was quite a performance. Say, do you kids

Know the dinosaur who wrote and first performed that very song?

No, sir.

Nope. Me?

It was king, king crylophosaurus.

Huh?

Oh, gosh. He's a real rock 'n' roll legend.

That's right, mrs. "P." "The dinosaur train song" made king

Pretty famous along the train route.

Did they name him king because of the crown on his

Head?

Hmm. Could be, buddy.

We know other dinosaurs with crests on their head,

Hadrosaurs. They make music, too. They have crests that hoot

And toot.

Yeah! Like cory corythosaurus.

So maybe king toots with his crest to make his cool music.

You know, I'd consider that another of your excellent

Hypotheses, buddy.

King's crest is such a different shape. Does it give

Him a really special sound, mr.

Conductor?

Hmm. Can't say. I only met king once. He rode the dinosaur

Train and sang his hit song for me and the passengers. Even got

My picture taken with king, but I never heard him hoot or toot

His crest.

Didn't you ever ask him?

I would, don, but I haven't seen him since. I hear he's a

Nice guy who chooses to spend his time alone in the jurassic

Antarctic. Heck, no one's seen hide nor horn of him since that

Day on the train.

Ooh! A mystery!

♪ Dun dun dun ♪ is king crylophosaurus a

Hadrosaur and a theropod, mr.

Conductor?

Good question, buddy. What do you kids think?

Well, he looks like a theropod. One, big legs with

-Toed feet. Two, lots of teeth for eating meat. , A long tail

For balancing well, and , theropods have a great sense of

Smell.

Right you are, kids.

Crylophosaurus is a meat-eating theropod.

Well, how hard can it be for one theropod to find another?

Buddy, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yeah! We go try to find king crylophosaurus.

Well, you're in luck. The next stop is crylophosaurus

Crest station!

Can we, mom?

Well-- you can get his autograph!

[Squawk] a chance to meet king

Crylophosaurus? Why not?

[Cheering] pteranodon clan, I like your

Spunk. Ooh! Time tunnel approaching. Next stop the

Antarctic, crylophosaurus crest station in the jurassic time

Period.

Here we are, folks, the jurassic antarctic.

Wow! It's so warm here. I thought the antarctic would be

Cold like the arctic.

Nope. There's no snow or ice.

Or any sign of king crylophosaurus.

Good luck, pteranodon clan!

Bye!

Now where to start searching.

No crylophosaurus under here.

Ha ha ha!

Eyes open, guys. Anything could be a clue to help us find

King.

Look! Footprints!

Now we're getting somewhere.

No. Wait. Count the toes.

, , , Toes.

Hmm. That's no theropod.

Right. Theropods have big front toes.

We keep searching. Keep your eyes open.

Open your ears, too. We might hear him sing.

[Chirping] [croaking]

Hmm. Nothing.

The loudest nothing I ever heard.

Plenty of birds and insects, don, but no singing

Crylophosaurus.

[Humming] did you hear that? It came

From over that-a-way!

Whoa!

Tiny, are you all right?

I'm fine, mom. I just tripped in this weird hole.

That's no hole, tiny. That's a footprint.

A -toed one.

King! He's around here somewhere.

[Humming] there it is again! Someone's

Humming!

Follow the prints!

[Gasp] over there!

My goodness! Look!

[Humming] shh. Behind...that...tree.

Mr. King crylophosaurus sir, is that you?

Well, who wants to know, little lady?

We do! I'm tiny pteranodon, this is my brother don.

Excited little fella, ain't he?

And this is my brother buddy, and this is our mom--mom.

Ah, little mama.

[Squawk] how do you king, mr. Do? I

Mean, how do you do, mr. King?

Well, very well. Uh, thank you, ma'am, but ya'll didn't

Come all the way out here just to see king, did you?

See and hear!

Your "dinosaur train song" is our favoritest song ever!

It makes me dance!

Along with other stuff.

Loves it, king!

Thank you. Thank you very much. Oh, boy. That felt good.

I got to say. I kind of miss the music.

Well, why? Don't you sing anymore?

Well, not for others, just when no one's around.

You know, king, if I had a cool crest like that, I

Couldn't help myself. I'd hoot and toot it all day and night.

What, this old thing? I can't hoot it nor toot it,

Buddy.

You can't?

You remember how you spotted me behind that tree. Well,

That's what my crest is for, attracting attention.

King's right, kids. His crest certainly got my

Attention.

You see what I mean? But I don't really want to attract

Attention. That's why I stay out here in the woods.

So you don't hoot or toot with that crest like

Duck-billed hadrosaurs?

Never have, never will. I'm no hadrosaur, little fella.

This crest is solid bone, not hollow.

But you're still a theropod just like me. I love meeting

Other theropods.

Buddy's even in a theropod club. Theropods from all over

The mesozoic come to meet on the dinosaur train.

You have to come to a meeting, king. You'd like the

Snack time, all meat all the time because we're all...

Carnivores!

Hoo-ha! Ha ha ha! That sounds great, buddy, but I'm

Not really one for clubs.

But you'd fit right in, king. You've got toes on each

Foot just like me.

And, king, you seem a little bit shy when you meet other

Creatures.

Well, yeah. I am a little shy.

Me, too, sometimes a little, but I do like meeting new

Creatures.

And you never hold back when you have a hypothesis. You just

Step right up, open your mouth, and tell everyone what you're

Thinking.

Whoa! That is true.

Maybe you can do that, too, king.

Yeah. I'm not real big on hypothesizing.

No, but you could do the same when you open your mouth

To sing.

Oh, you're right, little lady. We already sang my song.

That's your only one?

What about the one that you were humming, king?

That? That's something I've been humming for a while, but I

Haven't finished it yet.

Maybe we can help.

Ha ha! You really aren't shy, baby.

No, sir. My name's not baby.

I'm tiny pteranodon.

Ha ha! All right, tiny!

Crylophosaurus crest ♪ [cheering and laughing]

Hi. I'm dr. Scott the paleontologist, and this is

Crylophosaurus.

Crynososaurus.

Crylophosaurus.

Crylophosaurus.

Probably the first thing you notice about crylophosaurus is

Its crest. In fact, the name means cold crest lizard because

Scientists discovered this dinosaur way down south on the

Continent of antarctica. It's really cold there now.

Did it live in the snow?

Nope. When dinosaurs were alive, antarctica was much,

Much warmer than it is today.

So what do you think about that boney crest on its head?

It's big.

And it swoops up. The scientists who first discovered

This animal thought that its strange crest looked like the

Hair of elvis presley, a famous rock 'n' roll singer.

[Doorbell rings] point of fact!

Crylophosaurus did not know elvis and did not sing rock

Songs.

Aw!

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Well, that's true, but scientists nicknamed

Crylophosaurus the elvisaurus.

Yay! Elvisaurus!

Elvisaurus' one-of-a-kind crest and fun nickname make it

A very cool dinosaur. All right. Keep watching for more

Dinosaur discoveries.

Dinosaurs had feathers!

Troodons have feathers?

Like me!

Whoa! They're amazing!

Well, thanks, buddy.

I'm a northern troodon.

We're different because we got a lot more feathers, eh.

We're looking for a match for this feather.

Hmm. Looks familiar.

I wish I had your amazing feathers. Can we compare this

One to yours?

Wow!

The feather mystery is solved! Whoo-hoo!

Hello, pteranodon family.

Hello, mr. Conductor!

Where are you all off to this fine morning?

The big pond. We're going fishing!

With dad!

And don and I are gonna hang out in the woods and play our

Favorite game--tracking!

Ooh! Tracking, eh?

Yep. I'm buddy the detective, the greatest tracker

Of all.

And I'm detective don, buddy's pteranodon assistant.

We like to search for dinosaur footprints in the dirt

And mud.

My brother buddy has a keen sense of smell. He's a t. Rex.

Hmm. Hunting for dinosaur footprints? You kids have all

The fun. Well, take a gander at this. You can learn a lot about

An animal by its tracks, how big it is and how fast it's

Moving, especially if you find the tracks in what we call a

Trackway.

A trackway?

Yep. A trackway is a pattern of tracks in a row.

I've seen footprints in a trackway before. I just never

Knew it was called that.

Whoops! I lost track of the time. Ha ha! Big pond! Big pond

Station, folks.

Good luck finding dinosaur tracks, detectives, and happy

Fishing, tiny, shiny, and mr.

Pteranodon!

Gather round. Let's break it down, let's huddle by the

Puddle. Tiny, shiny, ready to go fishing?

Yeah!

And detective don and I are ready to track some dinosaurs.

Ok, detectives. Just make sure that we stay within

Squawking distance, all right?

Let's test it out.

[Squawk] we're over here, dad!

[Squawk] and I'm over here! Good job!

Let's catch some fish.

Yeah! Come on!

[Squawk] [sniffing]

Hey! I found some tracks.

Ooh. Let me see, let me see.

Hmm. The animal that made these tracks must be pretty

Small. I wonder if it's even a dinosaur. These look like the

Back feet, and these are the front ones.

And look. The tracks are really far apart.

I have a hypothesis.

Goody! An idea we can test!

I think that the animal who made these tracks must jump or

Hop.

Hey! We know an animal who hops, and she lives at the big

Pond.

Patricia palaeobatrachus!

Come on. We'll call her!

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

Patricia!

Dinosaur is big!

Maybe we should track something little, buddy. What

If it wants to eat us?

Aw, I bet it's a quadruped, don. They're herbivores. You

Know, herbivores eat plants, not t. Rexes.

What about pteranodons?

Nah. They won't either of us.

Ok, buddy. You're usually right about these things.

Uh-oh. Those are a whole lot of tracks.

Yep! Whatever this dinosaur is, I think we found a whole

Herd of them, you know, a bunch of dinosaurs all traveling

Together.

I thought you were gonna say that.

They go this way! Come on!

Um, let me check with dad!

Hi, don! Everything all right?

Yeah. We found a lot of tracks.

Well, that's great, son. If you need me, I'm close by. Just

Wow! How come I couldn't smell them? No wonder. They

Don't have any smell at all.

Mystery.

Yeah!

♪ Dun dun dun ♪ let's call dad and tiny and

Shiny.

Well, detectives, you've really found something. I think

These are fossils of dinosaur tracks.

Fossils? You mean, the tracks were made by a big

Dinosaur-- yep, but a long, long time

Ago.

[Squawk] let's see where the fossil

Tracks go!

Yeah!

Do it!

Aw. They just stop.

I wonder what happened to him.

Kids, those are all great questions. I say we ask the

Conductor, and there's the train now. Heh. Come on!

[Whistle blows] well, fluff my fabulous

Feathers! Fossilized footprints!

Yep! They're in a trackway, and we followed them.

And then they just stopped!

What do you think happened?

I would guess that a long time ago there might have been

A lake here and the tracks you saw might have been made by a

Dinosaur walking along the edge of that lake, and after many,

Many years, the tracks turned to stone, and now those tracks

Are fossils.

Wow!

Whatever the answer to the mystery is, I'm proud of you,

Detectives, for getting out there and asking some really

Good questions.

And I'm proud of tiny and shiny for catching a bunch of

Fish for our dinner.

Oh, yeah!

[Insects buzzing] [sniffing]

Buddy the detective here, sniffing some fresh tracks with

His fellow detectives, tiny, shiny, and don. Whoever they

Belong to, they sure smell familiar.

Look! The tracks just stop.

I think it flew away from right here.

[Squawk] you found me, t. Rex trackers!

Ha ha ha! Ok. Enough tracking.

Let's eat that fish that tiny and shiny caught. It's

Dinnertime!

[Cheering] hi. I'm dr. Scott the

Paleontologist, and these are t. Rex footprints.

Paleontologists have discovered thousands of dinosaur footprint

Fossils. They've been found on every continent.

Dinosaur footprints.

Sometimes, we just find one footprint, and sometimes, we

Find a long series of footprints called trackways.

Fossil trackways tell us how dinosaurs move. Tracks tell us

That dinosaurs stood upright with their feet close together,

And since we don't find many signs of dragging tails, we

Know that dinosaurs held their tails in the air.

That's cool.

Paleontologists have also found trackways of sprawling

Crocodiles and slithering snakes and hopping frogs. Of

Course, animals living today make tracks, too. You've

Probably seen some right around your own home. Hey. I've got an

Idea. Get outside, get into nature, and make your own

Footprint discoveries.

Did you know that the dinosaur train travels

Everywhere in the mesozoic era?

Let's look at the map. There was the triassic, jurassic, and

Cretaceous time periods.

Let's visit the jurassic. It was a warm, damp climate full

Of both jungles and forests.

The first known birds and many of the biggest dinosaurs, like

Stegosaurus, lived in the jurassic, and that's just one

Of the stops on the dinosaur train!

Theropods have -toed feet, lots of teeth for eating meat,

Big, long tails to balance well, and theropods have a

Great sense of smell!
