01x02 - The Call Of The Wild Corythosaurus/Triceratops For Lunch

[bunniefuu]

Hello, folks!

It's me, the conductor.

Today, we're going to visit the corythosaurus family and

Find out about their crests.

So come on along with me on the dinosaur train.

All aboard!

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

Hey. Anyone have ideas what we can give mom for her

Birthday tomorrow?

I know! We could find mom her favorite fish!

I know what mom really would want--a neat and clean nest.

Or we could scrub our feet really good like mom always

Asks us to.

[Hiccup] [giggling]

I just really, really want to give mom the perfect

Birthday present.

Yep. Finding the right present can be tough, kids, but

I think I found the perfect birthday surprise for mom.

A surprise? I love surprises!

I double-love them!

Well, team, your dad--that's me--got tickets to

Corythosaurus canyon.

Cor-what-o-saurus?

Dad said corythosaurus.

Why do we need tickets, and who are the corythosaurus?

The corythosaurus are dinosaurs in another part of

The cretaceous period, and the tickets are for their music

Concert, tiny.

Um, music? Like...

♪ La la la loo ♪ music?

Well, the corythosaurus do make their own special musical

Noises.

How do they do that?

It's obvious, buddy. The corythosaurus make music with

Their feet and their tails.

Really?

Yes. Maybe not. I don't know. Sure.

Well, tomorrow, we'll find out all about the corythosaurus

And their music when we go to corythosaurus canyon. So, team,

Let's huddle. This present will be a surprise to keep from mom.

Ooh! I love surprises. Let's keep real quiet about the

Concert and surprise mom!

[Giggling] um, buddy, I'm not good with

Surprises. What if I forget?

[Squawk] aah!

Forget what, don, honey?

Oh! Mom, don was saying that we don't want to forget to, um,

Be careful when we're at the big pond.

Uh, yes. The big pond. Um, be very careful.

Good idea, don. Ok.

Dinnertime!

I guess tomorrow we'll probably have dinner when we're

At the corythosaurus concert.

Don! The surprise!

Whoops!

It's ok, don. Don't worry about it. Let's all tell mom

About her birthday present together!

Dad got tickets for a concert!

At corythosaurus canyon!

Tomorrow!

And we're all going!

[Squawk] a corythosaurus concert?! Oh,

Ho! That's wonderful!

And we get to ride the dinosaur train!

Awesome! We get to ride the dinosaur train!

I call window!

I call other window!

I call next to dad!

I scrubbed my feet!

[Train whistle blowing] kids, stand back. Here

Comes-- the dinosaur train!

Well, hello, pteranodon family. Let me guess. You're

Here to ride the dinosaur train?

[Giggling] yes! Of course we are!

I knew it! All aboard!

Tickets. Tickets, please.

Can you guess where we're going?

There's gonna be music there.

Music, cretaceous. Are you going to hear a corythosaurus

Concert?

Whoa!

What a guess!

Who told you?

Just used the old dino brain. Troodons are the

Smartest dinosaurs, you know.

Now, when you meet the corythosaurus, be sure to ask

About their crest.

Why?

Oh, you'll see.

What is a crest?

This is a crest, buddy.

Right on top of their head.

Quite impressive, huh? Oh, boy.

It's that time already. Time tunnel! Hold on to your hats!

Time tunnel approaching!

I wish I had a hat to hold.

I love the time tunnel, don't you?

[Shudders] next stop corythosaurus

Canyon! That means you, pteranodons.

Hey. Look! A corythosaurus family!

[Hoots] hi. We're mr. And mrs.

Corythosaurus. Welcome to our canyon, and this is our

Daughter cory.

Hi! Are you here for the concert?

We sure are! We're mr. And mrs. Pteranodon, and these are

Our kids tiny, shiny, don, and buddy.

Hi! Why does your beak look so different from ours?

I guess it helps me eat the foods I like. You like it?

Remember what the conductor said. Ask about her crest.

No. You.

Um, cory, can we see your crest?

Sure. Take a look! Pretty cool, huh?

I have to get one of those.

Ha ha ha!

Hey. I can show you around the canyon if you'd like. Can

I, ma?

Sure. Just be careful.

She'll be really careful.

[Giggling] come on!

Let's go!

See you soon, kids.

[Squawk] I'm gonna stay here with the

Grown-ups.

So here's where we're gonna put on the concert later.

Can I dance during the concert?

[Giggling] sure, don. Dance all you

Want.

So the conductor told me to ask about your crest.

Hey, guys, wait up!

What's it for? Do you use it to breathe underwater?

Is it a crown? Are you a princess like shiny?

Does it have something to do with your corythosaurus music?

No. I'm not a princess, and I don't breathe underwater,

But, tiny, you're right about music. See, here's how it

Works. I breathe air in, and it travels all around into my

Crest and comes out...

[Hoots] [hoots]

[Hoots] whoa! What's going on?

[Hoots] hey, buddy. What do you

Think cory's doing making those noises?

I have a hypothesis. I think cory's using her crest to

Communicate.

You mean, it's cory's special way of talking?

Ding! You're right.

Corythosaurus communicate by hooting. Like, my mom just

Hooted to tell me that it's almost time for the concert.

Did someone say concert?

[Giggling] I'm so excited to hear you

Play music with your crest, cory!

Well, you'll hear me when I play with the grown-ups later.

Actually, I'm kind of nervous about the concert. I'm supposed

To play a part all by myself.

Aw, don't worry about it, cory. I know you'll do great.

I hope.

I felt nervous the first time I tried to catch fish, but

You know what I do? I just practice it again.

Good idea. Why don't I play some for you guys right now?

Ready?

[Hooting] [cheering]

Thanks. I'm supposed to hoot the high notes.

I get it. The grown-ups hoot the low notes.

Exactly. Hey. Want to play a corythosaurus game? We call it

Hide and hoot. I hide-- and we guess where you are?

Right. Ok. Close your eyes.

[Hoots] raar!

Hmm. It sounded like she was right here.

[Hoots] ohh!

[Hoots] ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

[Hooting] that's mom again. She said

It's concert time. Let's go!

Yeah!

Awesome!

Oh, gosh. I'm so excited.

Happy birthday, hon.

Hello, and welcome to our corythosaurus concert. We're so

Glad you're all here. A , a , a , , .

Away, cory!

[Cheering] awesome!

[Hooting] hey. I know her. It's cory!

Happy birthday, mrs.

Pteranodon!

[Cheering] oh, ho ho! Thanks so much,

Everyone. Aw.

I have an idea for the best birthday present ever.

♪ Hoot ♪ hi there. I'm dr. Scott, the

Paleontologist. And this is a corythosaurus.

Corythosaurus.

Corythosaurus.

Corythosaurus.

All corythosaurus like cory were part of a group of

Dinosaurs called hadrosaurs, or duck-bills, because they had

Wide beaks, just like ducks.

[Quack] do you think corythosaurus

Used its crest to make sounds?

Well, scientists like me think they may have because the

Crest was hollow. Air went inside it when they breathed.

So, if the dinosaur took a deep breath and blew the air through

Its nose, it could've made a loud sound that sounded kind of

Like a horn.

[Blaring] [doorbell]

Point of fact: actually, dinosaurs did not perform

Musical concerts. Thank you.

Aww...

But like I said, they probably did make cool noises

With their crests.

[Cheering] so why would corythosaurus

Use their amazing crests to make noises?

They used it for talk.

It's a lot like the birds you hear singing and chirping in

Your backyard. Corythosaurus may have made sounds to say things

Like...

"Hey, check out this crest!"

"Stay out of my way!"

Dinosaurs probably did a whole lot of things that animals

Do today.

[Quack] keep watching for

More dinosaur discoveries.

Buddy has a hypothesis.

What do you use your feathers for?

I have a hypothesis.

I have a hypothesis.

I have a new hypothesis to test out.

Tiny, I have a hypothesis.

You mean, an idea you can test?

I have a hypothesis. I think you guys are faster because your

Legs are longer.

So I have a hypothesis.

But how can you test that?

It was an interesting hypothesis.

Buddy really likes the word "hypothesis." It means an idea

You can test.

Hello, folks. It's me, the conductor. Today, we're going to

Visit the triceratops and find out what they ate.

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

, , , ...

Kids! Come help me get the nest ready. We're having

Company.

Company? Ow!

Wait for me!

Aah!

Company!

Ha ha ha! Hmm.

Who do you think it's gonna be?

I don't know, but I bet they're coming for lunch, and

That means fish!

♪ If I could wish for just one dish

My greatest wish would be more ♪

♪ Fish ♪ um, does anyone else ever

Get a little tired of fish?

[Gasp] buddy, fish is the most

Perfect food in the whole universe. What could possibly

Be better than fish?

Well, depends on the dinosaur eating it. Herbivores

Don't eat fish at all.

What's a herbivore?

Herbivores are dinosaurs that eat plants, only plants.

Blechh!

So then pteranodons are fishivores.

Actually, shiny, we're carnivores, meat-eaters. Fish

Is meat.

Fish is meat?

Fish is delicious! I think any dinosaur would love it if

They tried it, even a herbivore.

What about our company that's coming over? Are they

Herbivores?

Well, that's the problem.

I'm not sure. I've never eaten with my friends the triceratops

Family. We have fish and leaves, but I'd hate to be rude

And offer them the wrong thing.

Maybe we can meet the triceratops at the train

Station and find out what they like before lunch.

Yeah! Can we, mom?

That's a great idea. Come on, kids! Let's go meet the

Dinosaur train.

I'll stay here and get the nest ready. Hmm.

There's the train! Let's go find them!

I can't wait to see the triceratops.

Yeah! And find out what they like to eat.

Um, what's a triceratops look like again?

They're really big.

They have horns!

They walk on legs!

And they have the biggest heads of any creature on earth.

Really? I didn't know that.

I didn't say that.

Head...really big head.

Oh! Trudy! Kids, this is trudy triceratops and her son

t*nk.

Head-butt.

[Squawk] just kidding. High-four.

High-three.

High-two!

Head. Big head.

So, t*nk, let me ask you something. What sounds more

Delicious--fish or plants for lunch?

Are you kidding? Plants! I love plants. I'm a herbivore.

To me, plants are the best food ever, and I am hungry. Is it

Lunchtime?

Hey, mom. Let's take our herbivore friends back to the

Nest for lunch.

Oh! That is a wonderful idea, kids, and, trudy, I think

I have just the thing for you and t*nk.

Ta-da! Fish!

Actually, shiny, t*nk and trudy are herbivores, so I've

Set aside some lovely plants for them.

But, mom, this is fish.

Everyone who tastes fish loves it.

But I don't eat fish.

Have you ever tasted fish?

No.

In fact, fish is your favorite food. You just don't

Know it yet. Have some. It's my mom's famous recipe.

I don't think that's how being a herbivore works, shiny.

That's right, and, t*nk, you don't have to eat the fish.

It's ok. I'll try it. I'm starving!

I bet it's-- blechh! Disgusting. Uh, in a

Wonderful, delicious way.

Hee hee hee! Oh, well.

It's--it's really not your recipe. It's just that

Triceratops' mouths aren't good for eating fish. Our beaks are

Much better at chomping through thick, tough plants.

Well, that's good! You won't find plants thicker and tougher

Than right here in pteranodon terrace. Eat up, t*nk.

Really? Can i? Thanks!

[Chomping] ooh! Sweetie, come on now.

Let's not eat up our hosts' entire neighborhood.

Sorry, but I'm still hungry.

Wow! How many plants can a triceratops eat?

Maybe we can find out. The big pond has tons of different

Plants! t*nk could eat all he wants over there!

Buddy, that's great thinking. Let's take the

Dinosaur train to the big pond!

It's just one stop away! Ready, everyone?

Ready!

We're gonna ride the dinosaur train ♪

Refreshments, refreshments.

Herbivores, carnivores. You eat it, we feed it.

Ooh, food! Do you have anything leafy?

Sure we do. I got sap-dipped leaf clusters, a leafwich, leaf

On a stick.

Ooh! Yes, please, to all of them!

t*nk, no eating before lunch. You'll spoil your

Appetite.

But, ma, nothing spoils my appetite!

Oh! Next stop the big pond!

We're here!

Lunchtime!

Wow! Look at all these enormous, juicy, yumcredible

Leaves.

[Chomping] t*nk, you're amazing. How

Can you eat so much so fast?

It's my beak. It's supersharp, perfect for yanking

Down leaves and chewing them.

Can your beak handle that plant? It's superthick!

Yum! No problem.

[Chomp] I don't understand. I have a

Beak, too, but I don't like leaves at all.

Hmm. The beaks don't look the same, though. Shiny's is

Longer and thinner, and t*nk's is shorter and thicker.

Maybe we should compare teeth! Open wide, please.

Whoa!

You must have hundreds of teeth in there.

And they look really strong.

No wonder you can chew up leaves.

And look! Shiny doesn't have any teeth in her beak.

What about my teeth? Are they as sharp as t*nk's? Ahh!

They're different from t*nk's.

But they're really sharp, maybe sharp enough to eat some

Delicious leaves. Want to try some?

Sure, I guess. Who knows?

Maybe I'm a herbivore.

Or maybe not. These leaves are hard for my teeth to chew.

[Gulp] and I don't really like them. I

Guess I'll just have to keep on trying new things until I

Figure out what I like best.

[Giggling] what?

I'm the conductor.

Refreshments, refreshments.

Ooh! I want a fish stick!

Fish sticks. Got it.

Ooh! Me next! I want a leafy leaf cake with a side of

Leafloaf.

A leafloaf? You'd really eat that?

Yeah! When it comes to leaves, I'll eat anything.

Toot toot! Ha ha! Coming through.

Ooh! Sorry, real mr. The conductor.

Hello, kids. Did you have a good lunch at the big pond?

Yeah, but you know what? I really don't think I'm a

Herbivore.

Hmm. You're probably right, buddy. Ooh! That reminds me. I

Know a song about herbivores.

Want to hear it?

Yeah! Let's hear a song!

♪ I'm a hungry, hungry herbivore

Plants are what I'm hungry for I don't eat insects

Don't eat critters just give me some

Of them dern fern fritters hungry, hungry herbivore

I eat stems and sh**t and roots and more

I like big leaves and tiny creepers

Don't like bugs and slugs and peepers

Some have necks that are long enough

To reach the highest leaf some herbivores have a mouthful

Of great big grinding teeth wa-hoo, we love to chew

That's what we do we love to chew

I'm a hungry, hungry herbivore I live in a world

With food galore each vista that I cast

My gaze on has something green

For me to graze on hungry, hungry herbivore

I eat seeds and twigs and figs and more

I like big palms with vines around them

Don't like things with legs confound them

When you're a hungry herbivore the world is full of food

I always follow this simple rule if it's green, it's good

Wa-hoo, we love to chew that's what we do

We love to chew wa-hoo, we love to chew

'Cause that's our food and if it's green, it's good ♪

[Cheering] hey, buddy. You sure you

Don't want to try a leafwich?

No leaves for me, but thanks!

No problem. More leaves for me! Bye!

Bye!

We're playing triceratops.

Dum, dum, dum.

I have a hundred teeth in my beak so I can eat every leaf in

These bushes! Raar!

Oh, yeah? Well, I have a thousand teeth in my beak so I

Can eat every leaf in pteranodon terrace!

I'm the hungriest triceratops, and I'll eat all

The leaves in the world!

Blechh! Leaves taste awful!

Not if you're a herbivore!

[Giggling] ahh. Better.

[Giggling] hi there. I'm dr. Scott, the

Paleontologist. What do you call animals that eat only plants?

Herbivores.

And can you think of a few herbivores walking around today?

Cow.

Giraffe.

Rabbit.

Cows, giraffes, and rabbits are all herbivores,

Or plant-eaters.

And our friend triceratops was a herbivore, too.

This big guy ate nothing but the green stuff. Triceratops had

A lot of great features that came in handy for eating plants,

And had a huge beak up front, and hundreds of teeth in the

Back of the mouth. Triceratops is often compared with a big

Animal living today.

Rhinoceros.

Both triceratops and rhinoceros are big plant-eaters

With big appetites and...

Big horns.

Herbivores.

Yeah, herbivores. So remember, get outside, get into

Nature, and make your own 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.

Time for a tiny ditty.

And we figured it out.

We figured it out.

We worked together and figured it out.
