[bunniefuu]

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

Family goes underwater on the dinosaur train submarine, where

They'll meet a mosasaurus, so come on along with me on the

Dinosaur train. All aboard!

I'll name you tiny, shiny, and don.

What am I doing in a pteranodon nest?

Oh, this is your family, and I'm your mom. You may be

Different, but we're all creatures. All dinosaurs have

Different features. Come on, buddy. We'll take a vacation.

I'll get us a ticket at pteranodon station. We'll

Travel the world in sunshine and rain and meet all the

Rawk! Let's play move like your favorite creature. Move

Like a troodon.

Now move like an ornithomimus.

Move like a big lizard with big flippers in the water.

[Humming] [all humming]

I wonder if there really is a big lizard with flippers that

Lives in the water.

A lizard with flippers?

Let's ask mom.

Mom!

Do you know any big lizards with big flippers that live in

The water?

Hmm. I was not expecting that question, but let me think.

Ehh.

Well, there's crocodilians, but they don't have big

Flippers, and ichthyosaurs aren't lizards, but I know who

Does know the answer to all your questions.

The conductor! Can we go ask him?

I think we may just have to.

And where can we find the conductor?

On the dinosaur train!

Ha ha ha! Let's go, team!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

Let's go!

Tickets, tickets, please.

Mr. Conductor?

Yes, buddy, my buddy?

Do you know any lizards that live in the water?

Hmm. Let's see, buddy. A lizard that lives in water.

Interesting. Ooh! I know of a wonderful creature called

Mosasaurus. Let's take a look.

Mosasaurus is a huge aquatic lizard. An adult can grow to be

Feet long and weigh tons, and look. The mosasaurus has a

Huge head and big jaws, and get a load of its long tail and

Powerful flippers.

It sort of looks like a crocodile.

But it's a really huge dinosaur.

Actually, shiny, mosasaurus is not a dinosaur. It's a huge

Lizard and can be quite an active predator.

How does the mosasaurus move? Does he swim by wiggling

His body like this and...

[Humming] uh, not quite, don.

Mosasaurus swim by holding their bodies very still and

Using their flippers to propel--that moves it

Forward--super-duper-fast.

Fast! I knew it!

Hmm. You know, we could go to see the real thing. Would

You like to go visit a mosasaurus on the dinosaur

Train submarine?

The dinosaur train submarine?! Yes!

How can we say no to a trip on the submarine?

To the dinosaur train submarine!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo indeed! Time tunnel! Time tunnel

Approaching, and this one's taking us under the sea!

Whoa! Fish!

[Cheering] all aboard the dinosaur

Train submarine!

Whoo-hoo!

Yes!

Ahead full and deeper into the cretaceous ocean.

I hope we get to go really, really deep down in the water

Today.

Yeah, me, too!

Uh, it's ok with me if we stay up closer to the surface.

Don't worry, shiny. Wherever we go on the submarine, we'll

Be together and safe.

Thanks, dad.

I bet we have to go down deep to find that mosasaurus

Sea lizard.

They're huge, so they can swim anywhere they want, so they

Probably go really deep, maybe to the bottom of the ocean.

Yeah! I bet they go there to hunt for food.

[Sigh] I guess we are going to the

Bottom of the ocean.

Rawk! What was that?

There it is again, and I see flippers!

Hello. Are you a mosasaurus?

Yes, I am. I'm maisie mosasaurus.

I'm tiny pteranodon, and this is my sister shiny and my

Brothers buddy and don and our mom and dad.

Hi, maisie!

Heh heh. Nice to meet you all. What's this thing you're

In?

It's the dinosaur train submarine. It can take us to

Any part of any ocean.

Don't forget the captain--mr. The conductor!

So this is the submarine.

I've heard of it, but I've never seen it.

And we've heard of mosasaurus but have never met

One till now, maisie.

I can't believe how fast you were swimming just now.

That's the great thing about being a mosasaurus. We can swim

Really fast.

Yeah. With your huge flippers.

Maisie, can we please see your teeth?

Sure. Look at these. Ahh!

Oops. I hope I didn't scare you. I just like to show of my

Choppers. That's what my dad calls teeth. He should be here

Any minute.

Buddy has some nice choppers, too. They help him

Eat meat.

Really? Let me see them, buddy!

Ok. Here are my choppers.

Ahh!

Wow! Best dinosaur teeth I've ever seen!

Do you want to see our pteranodon teeth?

Yep.

Ahh! Surprise! We're toothless!

[Rim sh*t] ha ha ha!

I bet with all your big teeth you can hunt and catch

Fish all over the ocean, especially way down deep.

Heh heh heh. Well, I'm not gonna swim down deep right now,

But how about if I swim really fast right here?

Whoa!

Cool!

So how fast can your sub go?

Pretty fast.

Hey. We should race. Maisie, let's race down deep into the

Ocean and then back up top here.

What?!

What?! Um, well, can we just race up here by the surface?

See, I'm waiting for my dad.

Did someone say dad?

Daddy! This is the pteranodon family and the

Conductor of the dinosaur train submarine.

Ha ha! Hey, everyone. Marvin mosasaurus. Ooh. That's a very

Nice contraption you got there.

Wow! What great choppers!

Ha ha ha!

I didn't know underwater lizards had such big teeth. I

Didn't even think that there really were underwater lizards

Till we met you today.

Yep! That's us.

Mr. Mosasaurus, I observe that you move just like the

Conductor said. You hold your bodies really still, and you

Use your flippers to move forward.

Ha ha ha! We have a name for it. We call it the mosasaurus

Move.

[Humming] maybe I can do the

Mosasaurus move, too. Rawk.

[Humming] [giggling]

Rawk! I know! How about if we race you in the submarine?

Oh, nothing wrong with a friendly competition, I like to

Say. Mom, dads?

Oh, sure!

I got to warn you, maisie and I are really fast.

But the submarine can go really fast, too.

Sounds like we have a contest.

Let's race to that wavy red plant over there.

Ready, on your mark...

Get set, go!

Come on! Faster, faster!

Whoo!

Good race, maisie!

Your submarine is fast, but I think we have more practice

Swimming underwater.

Maisie, now can we all race down deep? Let's see how deep

You can go.

, , , Go!

Wait! Come back up top. We have something to tell you.

[Inhale] I should have told you. We

Mosasaurus like to stay up near the surface of the water.

Really? I figured you loved swimming way down to the bottom

Of the ocean.

No. We like it up here. I'm glad I told you. I was worried

I'd have to swim down deep.

See, up here at the surface, we can catch and eat all different

Kinds of food, like fish, squid, ammonites.

We're not dive-down-deep creatures. We have to go out of

The water to breathe air. Then we come back underwater here.

I also like it up here because I can see the water

Surface--ha ha--and the sun!

I'm kind of scared of diving down deep.

Rawk? I feel the exact same way, maisie. To me, it feels

Icky and weird going down so deep.

Oh, I know. Plus, really, all the good fish are up here.

Well, I'm glad you told us, maisie.

Guess what! Our family--well, except buddy--we

All dive for fish that are just under the surface of the water.

Really? You do? Can we see how you pteranodons dive and

Fish?

Rawk! I'd love to show you.

And can we see how you and your dad catch fish, maisie.

I like it. It will be fun and educational.

And probably very yummy.

Fun, educational, and yummy?

Hoo hoo hoo! Let's do it!

Up submarine!

[Bell dings]

Rawk! Let's show them, team!

I see fish!

, , , Pteranodon!

Wow! Way to go, pteranodons!

Your turn, mosasaurus family.

, , ...

[Chomp] [cheering]

Way to go, my surface sister. Ha ha ha!

Rawk! Let's catch more fish!

[Chiming] folks, I'm sorry to break up

The party, but it's time to go back to the undersea station.

The dinosaur train has to keep on schedule.

Aww.

Great to meet you, maisie.

You, too, shiny! Bye, everyone!

Bye, maisie and marvin!

So long!

Great to see your choppers.

Hey. Let's see you do that mosasaurus move. Work those

Flippers.

[All humming] [giggling]

Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott the paleontologist. During the age

Of dinosaurs, while giant carnivores like t. Rex hunted

Animals on land, giant predators just as large swam in

The oceans, and one of the biggest of them all was

Mosasaurus. Mosasaurus was huge! It had a huge head, huge

Teeth, huge, powerful flippers, and a huge tail. The largest

Mosasaurus grew to about feet long and weighed tons!

That's bigger than t. Rex!

Mosasaurus was a predatory reptile, but it wasn't a

Dinosaur. Nope. It belongs to the same group of reptiles as

Lizards. In fact, some of the closest living relatives of

Mosasaurus alive today are giant land lizards like the

Komodo dragon. You can see they have a lot in common. For

Example, they both have big heads with plenty of sharp

Teeth, as well long, strong tails, but mosasaurus had

Flippers instead of legs and probably couldn't even come out

Of the water. Instead, it was an expert swimmer and a great

Hunter, feeding on fish, squid, and shelled creatures like

Ammonites. Isn't it amazing that millions of years ago

Reptiles living in the oceans were bigger than most dinosaurs

Roaming around on land? Ok.

Keep watching for more dinosaur discoveries!

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

Pteranodon kids get their first baby-sitter and try to

Figure out what kinds of food she likes to eat, so come on

Along with on the dinosaur train. All aboard!

♪ Go, tiny go, don ♪

Don't drop them!

You're almost there! Keep going! Don't drop the nuts!

♪ Go, shiny go, buddy ♪

Waaugh!

Ohh!

Nice job, kids. It's a tie!

Yay! Good catch, mom!

Happy anniversary, hon!

Rawk! Aw. Thank you, dear.

You are the best husband ever.

Do you want to help me tell the kids about tonight's plan?

Oh. Tonight? We have a plan?

Very funny. Come here, kids.

We have something exciting to tell you. So you know that

Tonight is our anniversary, a celebration of the day that dad

And I met years ago.

Congratulations!

So to celebrate, something very special will happen

Tonight.

A party?

At troodon town?

With music, games, and food?

And shiny seashells for everyone?

Even better! You're going to have a baby-sitter.

[Gasp] heh heh. How great is that?

What do you think, team pteranodon?

Ok. Sounds fun, mom and dad.

Have a great time.

Awk! Hold it. We've never had a baby-sitter before.

I know, and that's why I found the best, most

Responsible, highly recommended baby-sitter around.

Plus we're not babies.

Just give it a chance, sweetie.

So, mom, just wondering.

Where did you find this baby-sitter, and what's her

Name? Will she feed us? What if someone gets hurt?

Calm down, kids. No one will get hurt, and everyone will eat.

I'm not expecting that anyone will get hurt, tiny.

What I do expect is that you will all listen to her and do

What she says.

The baby-sitter knows it's her job to keep you safe, and

Now you know it's your job to be on your very best behavior,

Right?

Right!

Oh. Here's keira now.

Hi, mr. And mrs. Pteranodon.

Hey, kids. I'm keira.

Hi.

Well, we're just having dinner on the dinosaur train,

So we won't be gone for very long.

Aw, take your time. We'll be fine.

It's the kids' first time with a sitter, but I know they

Will have so much fun with you.

I'm buddy! What kind of dinosaur are you?

What do you think I am?

Hmm. Feet with toes, sharp claws on your hands, a lot of

Feathers. I think you're a chirostenotes.

Wow! Great job, buddy. You really know your dinosaurs. Ok.

My turn to guess. Let's see.

Shiny, tiny, don.

Rawk! Perfect!

Do you have any experience baby-sitting, keira?

I do. I've sat for t*nk triceratops, arnie

Argentinosaurus, the oviraptor kids, and sally and simon

Stegosaurus. We played the slowest game of tag ever.

So you see? We're leaving you in good hands.

You'll be fine. You'll have a great time. No need to worry.

Bye! We'll be back soon!

Rawk!

Ok. What should we do first?

Don, what are you doing?

I'm not coming out until the baby-sitter is gone.

Too bad. You'll miss all the fun.

Well, I'm gonna visit the lambeosaurus kids.

Not this time, tiny. Today everyone will stay near the

Nest.

[Sniffs] mom lets us visit our neighbors.

Ok. Fine. I'll just draw a picture of keira.

Tiny, that's not very nice.

Heh. Here, tiny. You forgot my crest.

Wow, keira! Your claws are sharp.

Mom wouldn't draw on tiny's picture.

Ahem.

[Gasp] nice catch, keira! So I see

That your beak can catch food.

Heh heh. If you like that, watch this.

She eats nuts! Mom would definitely never do that.

So keira eats nuts. Is she a carnivore who eats meat or

Herbivore who eats plants or an omnivore that eats some of both?

I don't know, but if anyone needs me, I'll be digging more

Holes.

Why don't you guys tell me?

It's up to you to figure out what kind of eater I am.

All aboard the date night night train!

Ahh. Isn't this romantic, dear?

Yes. It's very nice.

Makes me think of our first date. Remember?

Heh. Sure. We visited that sea cove you like so much, and

Then I think we had fish.

Rawk! Who knew that years later we'd have beautiful

Kids?

Yeah. Speaking of the kids, I wonder how they're doing.

The kids? Oh, I'm sure they're having a great time

With keira.

Yeah. That's just what I was thinking. Nothing to worry

About.

Welcome to date night on the dinosaur train. Please have a

Look at our special romantic menu.

Well, you know, that's not really necessary. We're not

Staying for very long.

We'd love to see the menu, mr. Conductor.

Which meal can you make the fastest?

Hon, please relax. It's our special date night out.

Everything is fine back at the nest.

Well...

Mmm! Tasty.

So maybe keira's a herbivore.

Hey. Want to go down to the beach?

Sure! Don, come out so we can all go down to the beach.

Please tell the baby-sitter that I will go with you.

Um, sure, don.

This is so lovely. Oh! Look how the big pond sparkles in

The sunset.

Yeah. The pond is so much fun...with our kids. I miss

Them.

Tonight's special, our delish fish on a dish. Enjoy.

Thank you. Mmm. Smells heavenly. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Heh. This makes me think about diving into the water

With the kids.

Eat your fish, dear.

Tiny sings a ditty about fish.

It's sweet that you miss the kids, hon, but tonight is about

Us.

Right. Us. Heh heh.

Mmm! Delicious! Let's go!

Hon, us. I'm sure the kids are having a great time with

Keira.

What's the baby-sitter making?

A sand pteranodon.

Ta-da! It's a...pteranosand.

Ha!

Tell the baby-sitter to make the wings bigger.

Ok. How's that, don? Oh.

Wouldn't these be nice as...

Jewelry! I love it!

Can we help?

Sure!

Ooh! A clamshell! That's meat! Maybe keira's a carnivore

Like us.

I knew it. Keira's eating meat.

She's a carnivore.

But she ate leaves before, and now look. She has seaweed.

So are you sure I'm a carnivore?

Ok. I think I know what you are. You're an--

Wait, buddy. I still want to guess.

Yeah! Me, too!

Ha ha ha!

Rawk. Everything is so good.

Even the water is tasty.

Shiny and tiny like water.

And just feel the evening breeze. The air is so nice and

Warm.

Buddy and don breathe air.

Hon, please relax. It's our date night. Let's enjoy it.

You're--you're right. Ok.

Heh heh. I'm--i'm relaxed.

Oh, ho! Oh, listen to that.

Wow!

♪ So you two are out for the night

Don't things look nice by candlelight

Mom's never looked prettier dad's never seemed wittier

Now here comes our lovely refrain

It's date night on the dinosaur train

Just our two favorite passengers remain

Poor dad was feeling nervous ♪

Not anymore!

♪ Love the service 'cause it's date night

On the dinosaur train ♪ oh. That was wonderful!

Yeah! I loved it! You know who else would have loved

It? The kids.

Hon.

Heh heh.

Mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Ew! She eats bugs!

She does? I eat bugs, too.

Lots of creatures eat bugs.

They're called insectivores.

So we've seen keira eat nuts and leaves.

And clams and bugs. It doesn't make any sense.

Don't forget she also ate seaweed.

[Scratching] wow! You're a great digger.

Oops! I just talked to keira.

Hey, buddy. Please tell the baby-sitter she dug the best

Hole ever.

Don says you dug the best hole ever. Don, I think you can

Talk to keira now. Come on. Try it.

Keira, you eat meat and plants and insects. Are you an

Omni, uh--omni-d-d-d-- omnivore!

Excellent, don! You're all correct. I am an omnivore.

Omnivores eat all kinds of things, meat, bugs, and plants.

We knew it!

You know, I actually did have fun on our date. Sorry if

I was nervous. Heh. Just miss the kids so much.

Rawk. That's sweet. I miss them, too. Let's head back.

It's getting late.

Right. Let's go, let's go, lets go!

Thanks for everything! Bye!

They probably missed us so much.

Yeah. I bet they cried the whole time.

[Laughing] and then we ran and ran and

Escaped the volcano, and then my mom gave us leaves and fish

And meat and nuts. We had a huge feast.

Wow! Great story! Thanks, keira!

Keira, I'm sorry I wouldn't talk to you when you first got

Here.

Rawk. And we were kind of mean.

We're sorry, too.

Kids, we're home!

Oh. Hi, dad.

Heh. You see, hon? You didn't have to worry at all.

Hey, dad. Maybe tomorrow night--

You want to have a special family night? Absolutely.

Um, actually, I was thinking that maybe you and mom could go

On another date night.

Yeah! And keira can come back!

Ha ha ha! Well, whenever you want, I'd love to baby-sit

Again. Anytime! Bye, pteranodon family. See you next time!

Bye, keira!

Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott the

Paleontologist, and, this is chirostenotes. It was a

Feathered dinosaur with a toothless beak, a bony crest,

And big claws. Paleontologists

Think that chirostenotes was an omnivore. That means it ate

Plants and animals. Another dinosaur that might have been

An omnivore is troodon, like the conductor. There are lots

Of omnivores alive today. You probably know some of them.

Crows, bears, squirrels, and pigs are all omnivores. Another

Omnivore I bet you've heard of is--hey. Wait a minute! That's

Me! Well, I am an omnivore just like you are! Yup. We humans are

Omnivores, too! We eat fruits and vegetables and beef,

Chicken, and fish. Don't forget to eat a balanced diet,

Including plenty of fruits and vegetables, so you'll grow up to

Be strong and healthy. Ok.

Omnivores, remember, get outside, get into nature, and

Make your own discoveries!

We love playing games!

Like all aboard!

You can play, too, online at pbskids.org!

And lots of other games!

There's so much to learn about all kinds of dinosaurs!
