Hello, folks. It's me the conductor. Today, the

Pteranodon family will take the train under the sea to meet a

Shark called cretoxyrhina, so come on along with me on the

Dinosaur train. All aboard!

Buddy says we'll play more later because here comes the

Dinosaur train.

Whoo-hoo!

You're right, buddy, and it's gonna take us underwater!

I wonder where underwater we're going.

Mom got tickets for cretoxyrhina coral train

Station.

[Squawk] that's right, buddy.

Where's that? How long does it take to get there?

What's a cretoxyrhina?

Kids, I love your great questions, and you know they

Will all be answered by...

The conductor!

Someone call my name?

[Giggling] greetings, pteranodon family.

Hello, mr. Conductor!

The dinosaur train is ready to go under the sea. The

Pliosaurus is ready. Are you ready?

Yeah!

All aboard!

[Whistle blows] mr. The conductor, where's

The train station we're going to? Is it far from here?

Well, mr. The don, cretoxyrhina coral station is

Not far away at all. It's in the western interior sea.

Oh. A short ride. I like that.

So what exactly is a cretoxyrhina?

Well, buddy, my buddy, the cretoxyrhina is a large shark!

[Gasp] but not to worry. There's a

Glass wall between you and the shark, so you'll be perfectly

Safe.

[Sigh] [squawk]

Whoa! Look at those teeth! I wish I could have one for my

Collection!

I hope we get to meet one.

Well, I happen to know a young cretoxyrhina named carla.

She's very nice and exactly your age. Carla lives near the

Train station we're going to.

Are carla's teeth as big as that guy's?

No, don. She's still a kid, but you may meet carla's

Father. He's a b.f.i.s.

A what?

B.f.i.s.--Big fish in the sea. Carla's dad is a

Well-respected shark, and other sea creatures usually keep away

From him.

I bet he can scare any fish away just showing those teeth!

Yeah. He looks mean.

I hope carla is nice.

Well, soon, you'll meet carla and see for yourself

Because it's time for the time tunnel! Time tunnel

Approaching, folks, and this one will take us under the sea!

Whoa!

Next stop, cretoxyrhina coral station!

Cool!

Wow!

We're here! Explore, look around. You should find carla

Swimming around here. Carla's a sneaky one. She likes to play

Games, so keep your eyes peeled.

We will!

Ooh! Look at those plants.

They're shiny!

Yeah, and look! Underwater holes.

I wonder where carla is.

[Gasp] is that her?

Excuse me. Have you seen a shark named carla?

Thanks.

I guess they haven't seen carla.

Hey. There's a crab. Let's ask him.

Excuse me, sir. Hello. I'm tiny pteranodon.

Hi.

Have you seen carla cretoxyrhina? She's a shark.

I haven't seen carla, but just some advice, steer clear

Of carla's dad. He's a real tough character.

Do sharks eat crabs?

Hey. They eat everything.

Got to skedaddle.

Bye!

[Tap tap] ohh!

Huh?

Hi. Did I surprise you? I was just playing around.

Are you carla cretoxyrhina?

Yes. Who are you?

I'm tiny pteranodon. This is buddy, shiny, and don.

Ahem.

Oh. And my mom.

Hi, carla!

I'm so glad to meet you. I heard the dinosaur train coming

And was hoping there'd be kids on it. Now we can play.

We'd love to play, carla.

Are there other kids around that you usually play with?

Um, uh--well, there are some kid fish and kid squid, but

Most of them are, um, a little scared to play with me.

Why?

I know! It's your dad, the b.p.o.f.--I mean, the p.g.i.t.

I think don means b.f.i.s., Big fish in the sea.

Yeah. That's what some creatures call my dad. Most of

Them think he's a scary guy.

Is he scary?

Well, he's my dad. He just goes where he wants to go

Because he's always looking for food. That's what dads do.

Well, sure. Everyone has to look for food.

My dad can look scary sometimes, and I guess some

Kids think I'm scary, too, but I'm just a kid.

We were kind of worried about meeting you, too, but now

That we have, we can tell that you're really nice.

And not scary!

Yeah, not at all.

Thanks, you guys.

[Giggling] you know, we ride the

Dinosaur train all the time, and we meet some huge dinosaurs

Who seem scary, but they usually turn out to be really

Friendly.

Yeah. That's how my dad is.

He'd do anything for me. Ha ha!

I hope you get to meet him.

Me, too! We love meeting big dinosaurs.

Well, my dad's big, but he's not a dinosaur. He's a fish.

A fish?

A fish?

I thought you were sharks.

Sharks are fish, too. We're just like those fish.

Except you're way bigger than them.

And I guess scarier.

I think sharks are cool, and I love your teeth.

I love your wings.

Thanks. I can do this.

Whoo-hoo! Heh heh heh!

Wow! Nice one, don. Let me see if I can do that.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Ha ha ha!

Wow!

Great!

Hey! Do all of you want to play a shark game?

Yeah!

Ok. It's called try to catch me.

How do you play it?

I hide and then sneak up to the glass and tap on it with my

Nose. You have to try to guess where I'm gonna tap on the

Glass and meet me there to tap at the same time.

[Tap tap] [tap tap]

Ha ha ha! Ok, team pteranodon! Follow every move

That carla makes!

There she is!

[Tap tap] almost, shiny. Here I go

Again.

Carla's swimming up.

Now she's swimming down.

[Tap tap] ha ha ha! Here I go again!

Ok. Let's catch her this time.

[Gasp] yeah!

[Giggling] [tap tap]

Yes! We did it!

[Cheering] yeah. Nice job.

[Giggling] wow, buddy! I didn't notice

All those teeth you have.

Yeah. Buddy's pretty proud of his teeth. They're part of

What makes t. Rexes special.

Yeah. I thought I had pretty amazing teeth till I saw yours,

Carla.

Ha ha! They are great, aren't they? Did you know that

When one of my teeth falls out a new one grows in?

Whoa! It's the same for me, too.

When buddy's teeth fall out, he gives them to me, and I put

Them in my collection. Heh heh heh!

Carla, did you know that t.

Rexes have great eyesight?

Oh! That's so cool because sharks have good eyesight, too,

And we can smell things from far away.

Wait. You can smell underwater?

I sure can.

[Sniffing] I smell a school of fish

Swimming towards us right now, and I'm hungry.

[Sniffs] and guess what. I smell my dad

Swimming after them. They're both coming this way.

I don't see your dad, carla.

I'll be right back.

Hmm. I just see water.

Ohh!

What was that?

Whoa!

Hey! This is my dad, and this is the pteranodon

Family--buddy, tiny, shiny, and don.

Really, really big. Heh.

They're my new friends.

Great! Nice to meet all of you!

Hi.

Heh heh. Hope I didn't scare you. I was just chasing down

Some dinner. You want to come along?

I'd love to dad, but I have friends here.

Oh, right. Of course.

Kids, we should really get back on the dinosaur train.

Aw.

Mr. Cretoxyrhina, can I just say that you are the biggest

Fish any of us have ever seen?

Why, thanks, son. Appreciate that.

Your mouth is huge, and you have so many teeth!

They get the job done. Thank you, tiny.

Yep. My dad can fit so many fish in his mouth.

Oh, ho ho! It's a fact.

[Whistle blows] we better go, carla!

Go on. Carla and I will swim over and see you off.

[Click] ha ha! Aah! Bless my scales and

Feathers!

Bye, pteranodon family!

Come see us again.

Bye!

Ahem. Mr. The don.

Huh?

The cretoxyrhina family wanted me to give you something

For your collection, a shark tooth.

Ohh! Wow! A real live shark tooth. Thanks, mr. The

Conductor. Heh heh heh.

Bye!

♪ So come on along with me we're taking dinosaurs

Under the sea yeah, come on along with me

We're taking dinosaurs under the sea ♪

♪ Wha-hoo, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ♪

Cowabunga! Hoo hoo!

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

Cretoxyrhina.

Cretoxyrhina.

Cretoxyrhina.

Cretoxyrhina.

Cretoxyrhina.

Right. The age of dinosaurs included lots of giant animals

That aren't around anymore, but cretoxyrhina is different. It

Still has some very close relatives swimming in the

Oceans today.

Sharks.

Yup. Cretoxyrhina was a giant shark, one of the biggest

Predators in the mesozoic seas, and it looks a lot like today's

Great white shark. Now isn't nature amazing? Here, we have

Two sharks, one ancient and the other living today, that look

Almost the same. These animals tell us that sharks have been

Successful underwater predators for a long, long time. Now what

Are some of the things that may have made sharks so good at

Surviving?

Sharp teeth.

A great nose.

Yeah. Sharks have razor-sharp teeth and a

Terrific sense of smell. They also have sleek bodies and big

Fins that are great for swimming fast. All of these

Features help make sharks terrific hunters. Ok. Get

Outside, get into nature, and make your own discoveries.

This is the fish we pteranodons love to catch and

Love to eat. Ha ha ha!

Go fish!

Ta-da! Fish!

Fish is the most perfect food in the whole universe!

So then pteranodons are fishivores.

We're carnivores, meat-eaters. Fish is meat.

[Cheering] hello, folks. It's me the

Conductor. Today, we're gonna meet up with those superfast

Ornithomimus twins oren and ollie. Should be fun. Got to

Run! So come on along with me on the dinosaur train. All

Aboard!

On my mark, get set, go!

[Squawk] don, who are you racing?

Me. I'm getting ready for today's play date with oren and

Ollie. Hoo!

I don't think any of us will ever run as fast as oren and

Ollie. Those ornithomimus are incredible.

I know. That's why I have to practice for when we play today.

Yeah. Oren and ollie love running more than anything.

That's what I said.

Remember? So we all have to practice running. Come on,

Buddy! Run with me. We need your speed.

Ok.

Don is running as fast as he can, and now buddy, the amazing

T. Rex, is running with him.

They pass tiny and shiny.

Hi!

And head round the nest for the final lap. Have you ever

Seen two creatures run as fast as...

[Panting] as...

Don, are you ok?

Yeah. I'm just...well...

Tired.

So I guess this race is over.

Yep, the race is over, and we have won! The best running

Ever. We have two champions--buddy and don!

But, don, you stopped.

Yeah. You didn't finish the race.

But we almost did, and we had fun, two very important

Things.

Uh-huh.

[Squawk] kids, it's time to catch the

Dinosaur train.

Yeah! To meet oren and ollie!

[Squawk] and don takes off! It was an

Amazing takeoff, and he's flying, and he waves to buddy,

And buddy waves back.

And buddy pretends to start running. Look. I'm running in

The air to the dinosaur train.

Life is good.

Oren, ollie!

I don't get it, buddy. None of these passengers are oren

And ollie.

That's weird. We were supposed to meet the twins here

Today. I wonder if they made it onto the train.

No oren and ollie here. No oren and ollie here.

Hmm.

[Whoosh] wait! Did you guys see

Something?

Ha ha ha!

I see them!

There they are!

Ha ha ha!

Oh! I see ollie! Or is that oren?

There's oren! Or is it ollie?

Hi, pteranodon family.

[Squawk] hi, oren and ollie. Which is

Which?

It's easy to tell us apart.

I'm oren.

And I'm ollie.

And I'm their mom.

[Squawk] mrs. Ornithomimus, nice to see

You. Come. Sit with me.

[Giggling] I forgot how fun it is to

Ride on the train! It really moves!

Yeah.

That reminds me. Where are we going on the train today?

To troodon town.

Ooh! Troodon town.

What's that?

Oh, you'll love it. It's a big train station, and they

Have a roundhouse.

A roundhouse?

Yeah. It's where they turn the dinosaur train around.

Can we run around in it?

Well, we'll see kids.

I wish we were there now. I feel like moving.

[Squawk] how about a quick tour of the

Dinosaur train?

I'll take that as a yes.

Mom, can we take oren and ollie around the train for a

Tour?

Of course. We'll be right here.

Next stop, the dining car!

That's fishwiches and leaf loafs.

, , , Eat!

Mmm, mmm. It's our new favorite snack!

Ooh! And some meat, please. We're omnivores, and

Ornithomimus need to eat a lot!

Yeah, yeah. Because we move a lot. So now where are we

Going?

The observation car?

Sounds good!

Oh, sorry.

We kind of move too fast sometimes.

Ha ha ha! Sometimes?

Good car, good car. What a view!

Hello, kids.

Hello, laura the giganotosaurus!

And, hello, oren and ollie.

Hello! Wow! You are so tall!

Yes, I am.

And I'm pretty tall, too.

Ned!

Hi, you guys. Hey, oren and ollie. Want to race to the

Passenger coach?

A race? Oh, yeah!

Ready, set, go!

Ta-da!

Wow! What a long neck!

Hey. We're almost to troodon town.

Yay! Troodon town!

Next stop, troodon town.

Troodon town...i think.

You think?

Well, we're close to troodon town, but we're having a--a

Little trouble with the engine.

Ahem. But nothing to worry about.

[Squawk] well, that's good.

Everything's fine, everything's fine, everything's

Jim dandy.

I think the train just stopped.

I know the train just stopped.

Doesn't that usually happen?

Not way out here.

Remain calm, folks. We'll be moving along posthaste. Heh

Heh. I'll be right back!

W-well, this is exciting!

Can we go outside and run around?

I think we should stay on the train, right, mom?

Right, shiny. Let's stay on board the train for now. The

Troodons are very smart dinosaurs. They know how to fix

Everything on the train.

Look. They're figuring it out right now.

[Indistinct chatter] well, folks, it seems our

Engine needs to be fixed at troodon town.

But, mr. Conductor, how can the train get to troodon town

If the engine is not working?

Good question, buddy. We'll have to tell them to send

Another engine, what we call a switcher, to pull the dinosaur

Train.

Wow. This is turning into an adventure.

But how will they know at troodon town that we need

Another engine?

Another good question! I'm gonna walk to troodon down and

Tell them to send the switcher.

It's not too far, so just relax.

Mr. Conductor!

We can run to troodon town.

We're fast!

And we can go right now.

It's all true!

[Squawk] can we fly with them? We're

Fast, too!

Hmm. It's a fast solution and sounds good to me. Mrs.

Pteranodon?

Absolutely. Fly well, tiny and shiny, and run well, oren

And ollie!

We will!

Oh, remember, ask them to send a switcher!

We will!

[Squawk] come on, mom. We can watch

Them from the observation car.

Good idea, buddy. Let's go!

Do you see them, don?

No! They're already out of sight!

[Whoosh] hmm. You're not the :

From pteranodon terrace.

Uh, I'm ollie.

Wait. I'm oren!

No. The other way around!

The switcher sent us.

No. We need you to send the conductor to the switcher.

No! Uh, wait. We'll start again.

Hey, guys. I've got this one. Hi. I'm tiny pteranodon.

The dinosaur train is having engine trouble. The conductor

Needs you to send a switcher.

Engine trouble, huh? A switcher. Well, we'll take care

Of that posthaste. No problem, missy.

Bluhhh! No problem indeed!

Mrs. Conductor?

Hello, kids. I heard about your engine trouble. Let's go

Get you that switcher posthasty. In fact, I'll join

You. Ooh! You must be ornithomimus. Speedy little

Fellers, aren't you?

We sure are!

Well, let's run then. To the switcher! Bluhhh!

Ooh! Ahh!

Isn't she a beaut? Who wants to ride up front?

[Squawk] we do!

No, thanks. We'll run!

Oh, ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Don!

[Cheering] wow! This is the greatest

Dinosaur train moment I can ever remember.

Oh, I love this, too, buddy.

I just love trains. Ahem.

Commence pulling the engine!

Yay! We made it!

[Squawk] what a ride!

Oren and ollie and tiny and shiny, you helped save the day!

[Squawk] yeah!

Well, it's time to turn the train around. You kids want to

Watch?

Yes!

To the roundhouse!

Oren, ollie, look! They're turning the train around!

[Squawk] and laura's helping!

Ohh.

Well, folks, the dinosaur train engine is all fixed!

We're ready to roll. All aboard!

Oren, ollie, it's time to go!

, , --Uh, uh--, .

Ooh, a lot.

Ok. We're finally...

Tired...

Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott the paleontologist, and you all

Know what this is.

The dinosaur train!

I'm an expert on dinosaurs and fossils, so I don't know

Much about trains, but I know somebody who does.

Point of fact--i love trains and know something about them.

Go for it.

Train tracks are made of two very long metal pieces called

Rails. Rails run alongside each other and are connected

Together by a piece of wood called a tie. Not this kind of

Tie. This kind of tie. Most trains have different kinds of

Cars, the engine, passenger cars, and a caboose. On the

Dinosaur train, there are special cars like the

Observation car and the aqua car.

Dinosaur train!

Yes, I agree. Go, dinosaur train, go! Thank you!

Well, thanks for all that cool train information.

Remember, get outside, get into trains, and make your own

Discoveries.

Did you know that the dinosaur train travels

Everywhere in the mesozoic era?

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

Cretaceous time periods. Let's visit the cretaceous. All kinds

Of sea creatures lived during this time period. Many large

Fish, including sharks, and long-necked reptiles like

Elasmosaurus lived in the cretaceous oceans, and that's

Just one of the stops on the dinosaur train.

And that means fish!

♪ If I could wish for just one dish

My greatest wish would be more fish ♪
