02x06 - Buddy Explores the Tyrannosaurs/Rainy Day Fight

[bunniefuu]

Hello, folks. It's me the conductor. Today buddy gets to

Meet an earlier spieces of tyrannosaur. It's called

Raptorex, so come on along with me on the dinosaur train.

All aboard!

♪ Dinosaur train ♪ ♪ once upon a time

There was a mom her name was mrs. Pteranodon

Sitting on her nest she heard a scratching

And said... ♪ Oh, boy! My eggs are

Hatching!

♪ One by one her kids popped free

Baby pteranodons , , ♪

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

♪ But tiny said... ♪ Wait! There's one more, mom!

♪ Last little baby was a different size

With teeth and a tail and big green eyes

He didn't look anything like the rest ♪

What am I doing in a pteranodon nest?

♪ But dear, old mrs. Pteranodon said... ♪

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

Species on the...

Ooh! I see one!

Thanks, buddy! I got this one, dad.

Way to go, tiny.

Thanks, dad.

Nice dive, tiny. I see another one.

Heh heh! I'm on it. Watch this. Hut! Woop! Oh!

Wow, that was amazing!

Thanks, buddy. It's my patented quadruple loople dart

And dive.

Quadruple loople dart and dive?

Yeah, an old technique from our ancestors.

What are ancestors?

Well, that means the family members who came before us. Did

You know my great-grandfather taught me that dive? And his

Great-grandfather taught it to him.

Maybe one day you can teach me that dive.

Tiny, I absolutely will.

Dad, are those my ancestors, too?

Well, our family is your family, buddy. But, you know,

You also have ancestors-- t-rex ancestors.

Right. The tyrannosaurs that came before me.

Exactly. We might not know your grandparents, but we do

Know there were all kinds of earlier tyrannosaurs.

Like maybe tyrannosaurs from the jurassic time period

Millions of years ago. I bet they were huge and stomped over

Everything in their paths.

And roared louder than any dinosaur around. Rrowrr! Ha ha!

You know, there is a way to see what the older tyrannosaurs

Were really like. But we'd probably have to take a ride

On...

The dinosaur train! Can we, dad? Can we?

Well, your mom is out for the day with don and shiny, so

I say, tiny, let's give buddy a lift to the train.

Yeah!

So, looking for tyrannosaurs that came before t-rex, huh?

Do you know any?

Do i? Better believe it.

Riding the dinosaur train, I've seen all kinds of older

Tyrannosaurs. There's dilong, sinotyrannus, alioramus.

Maybe I should just show you.

These are just a few tyrannosaurs that came before

T-rex: guanlong from the jurassic--

No way! A tyrannosaur with feathers?

Yep. The dilong has feathers, too. He's from the early

Cretaceous.

Are those dinosaurs really all tyrannosaurs? A lot of them

Don't look like buddy at all.

Like these with crests.

Hey, maybe way back then, tyrannosaurs had to show off

For other tyrannosaurs, like cryolophosaurus.

Hmm. Good hypothesis, buddy.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Ha ha ha! Oh, boy, just like the king.

And look. Eotyrannus has fingers, but buddy only has .

Whoa! A tyrannosaur with fingers?

It's true. Tyrannosaurs have changed quite a bit over the

Years and now we have t-rex, the largest and most ferocious

Of them all. In fact, "tyrannosaurus rex" means "king

Of the tyrannosaurs."

I'm the king of the tyrannosaurs! Rrowrr!

Aah!

You know, king buddy, the train is stopping at raptorex

Ridge, and I bet rodney raptorex would love to meet you.

Is he a tyrannosaur that came before t-rex?

Sure is.

Another tyrannosaur with feathers.

Do you really think we could meet him?

Absolutely. Mr. Pteranodon?

I think now is the perfect time to meet this rodney fella.

It is the perfect ti--ooh, wait a minute. Time? Time! Ahem!

Time tunnel approaching!

[Bell ringing]

Next stop, raptorex ridge station in another part of the

Cretaceous time period. Have a good time meeting rodney.

Thanks, mr. Conductor.

Ok, kids, let's stick together.

[Train whistle blows] hmm. So, buddy, if you were

A tyrannosaur, which you are, where do you think you'd be?

I'm not sure. Someplace I could find some meat? [Sniffs]

Let's try this way. I hope we find this raptorex before the

Dinosaur train comes back.

Rodney can't be that hard to find. He's a big tyrannosaur.

Think about annie, delores, and boris tyrannosaurus. You can't

Miss them.

You're right. If a tyrannosaur's around, we'll

Definitely see him. [Gasps] whoa-ho! Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Yeah! Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!

[Squawks] look out!

Whoa!

Aah!

Yeah!

Cool.

Looks a little dangerous to me.

Are you ok?

Are you kidding? That was the most wicked, hard-core wipeout

Ever!

You mean you were trying to do that?

Nah. I was trying to stick the landing, but did you see

The air I got? Suh-weet!

Excuse me. I'm tiny pteranodon. This is my brother,

Buddy, and this is our dad, dad.

Oh, hey. I'm rodney. Great to meet you.

You're rodney? That's funny.

We are looking for a tyrannosaur named rodney.

No way, because guess what.

You're looking at him. I'm rodney raptorex.

You're a tyrannosaur? But you're so little.

Sure am, and you're tiny.

Tiny and little. Yeah!

Whoa!

Oww!

Whoa-ho! Sweet run!

[All laugh] well, hello. Heh! You must be

Rodney's big brother and sister.

Hey, no, man. We're rodney's parents. I'm rita, this is my

Husband reggie.

Hey, wing man.

Ho ho! I am so sorry. I just thought--rodney said he's a

Tyrannosaur, and-- hi. I'm tiny pteranodon, and

I think my dad is saying that every grown-up tyrannosaur we've

Ever seen is kind of huge.

Not that there's anything wrong with being a tyrannosaur

Your size, uh, at all.

No prob! No worries.

We know all kinds of tyrannosaurs that are bigger

Than raptorex, like you. You're a t-rex, right?

Yeah. I'm buddy tyrannosaurus, the t-rex.

How did you know?

Aw, we get around in the "d" train, you know? Plus raptorex

Are tyrannosaurs that came before t-rex. I can see the

Species resemblance.

You can?

No way!

Way.

Huh! Hey, wing man! Want to grab some chow with us while

The wee ones connect? We can hang right next door, watching

Them the whole time.

Oh, uh-huh, sure. What do you think, wee ones? I'll be right

Over here.

Ok, dad.

I don't know. Are you sure you're a tyrannosaur?

Way sure.

Hmm. This could require some detective work. Rodney, buddy,

Please face me. Let's see.

Well, you both have heads that are big for your bodies.

I do have a pretty sizable melon.

And you both have small arms, with fingers on each hand.

The better to "peace out" with.

And give high s.

Yeah!

Can you open your mouth, please? Hmm, your teeth look

Different. Rodney's are sharp and jagged, and buddy's are

Fatter and smoother.

[Fog horn sound effect] eww!

Sorry. Meat-eater breath.

Hey, you eat meat, too?

I so eat meat.

But you have feathers, and I don't.

I know. Total bummer for you.

Feathers are great.

So you have lots in common, but a lot of differences, too.

I have an idea. I know the perfect way to figure out once

And for all if you're both really tyrannosaurs.

Dads, welcome to our show, "so you think you're a tyrannosaur."

Let's meet today's contestants, buddy and rodney. First,

Tyrannosaurs are known for their amazing sense of smell.

[Sniffs] rita raptorex is hiding somewhere nearby. If you're

A tyrannosaur, you should be able to find her. Ready? Go!

Got her.

What great tyrannosaur sniffers, boys.

[Bell rings] next task on "so you think

You're a tyrannosaur."

Tyrannosaurs have big heads with strong jaws. Which one of you

Can tear into this tough piece of meat?

Let's chow down!

[Bell rings] excellent eating skills,

Boys. Now, for our final task, everyone knows that tyrannosaurs

Have strong legs for stomping.

Which one of you can stomp like a tyrannosaur?

[Both roaring] there we have it, folks.

The answer is clear. Buddy and rodney are both tyrannosaurs.

[All clamoring] thank you, everyone, and join

Us next time we play "so you think you're a tyrannosaur."

I guess it's true. We are both tyrannosaurs. We even kind

Of look alike.

We do. Hey, since we're so much alike, think you might want

To try a run down the slope on my tree board? You, too, tiny.

Really? Wa-hoo! Whooooa!

Oh, I can't look.

That was off the hook, bud and tine!

It was pretty fun.

[Squawks] it was great! Can we do it again?

[Train whistle blows] oh, sorry, kids. Next time,

I promise. Time to catch the dinosaur train. It was great

Meeting you both.

It was great meeting you, too, wing man.

See ya soon. Keep it real.

You know, I will keep it real.

Tiny, buddy, you have to come visit again and try another run.

Suh-weet!

Huh. "Suh-weet"?

[Squawks] it was so much fun meeting one of buddy's

Ancestors.

And the rest of you will absolutely meet the raptorexes

Next time we go and visit.

Does that mean I'll get to try sliding on a piece of bark?

Um, can I try, too?

Ha ha ha! Rodney would love to teach you.

Do we have to wait for rodney?

Whoa!

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

The skull of a tyrannosaurus rex, or t. Rex, just like our

Friend buddy. As you can see, an adult t. Rex was huge. The

Whole body was over feet long, making it one of the

Largest land-living carnivores ever, and t. Rex had some

Special features on its skull.

It had sharp teeth, some of them the size of bananas. It had

Amazing eyesight, and t. Rex had a great sense of smell. T. Rex

Also had some special features on its body. Check out those

Tiny arms. Paleontologists don't even know what they were

Used for. Recently scientists working in asia discovered a

Relative of t. Rex that lived millions of years before it. It

Was named raptorex, and it shares many features with its

Theropod cousin. Check it out.

Raptorex has a big head, lots of sharp teeth, and tiny arms

Just like t. Rex, but there's one big difference between

These two carnivores, their size. Raptorex was really small

Compared to the gigantic t. Rex. Look at the difference.

Ok. Keep watching for more dinosaur discoveries.

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

Learn how spending time in nature is a great way to calm

Down and relax, so come on along with me on the dinosaur

Train. All aboard!

[Sighs] hey, buddy, is it still

Raining?

Uh-huh, yeah, still raining.

Mom, can we please go outside and play now?

[Squawks] I know it's hard to stay cooped up in the nest,

Kids, but the rain is still really coming down.

But that's great. We can get wet and splash in all the

Puddles.

It's really raining hard, don.

[Sighs] rrr! It's been raining all

Day! We'll never get to go outside!

Tiny, it's not that bad.

I see the sun trying to peek through the clouds. It won't be

Long before the rain stops. You just need to stay in the nest a

Little longer.

Aww! A little longer?

Yes, a little longer.

Good! A little longer means we can play one more nature

Trackers game. Let's play "hide and seek."

Shiny, how are we going to hide here in the nest?

Fine. Then let's play "where's my beak?"

[Squawks] right on your face.

Ok, I won. Now I pick a game.

Let's play "what kind of animal am i?"

Nah. We played that a while ago.

No, we didn't!

Yes, we did. Remember? You were a stegosaurus, and I was a

Beautiful confuciusornis.

Then how about we play "hoot like a hadrosaur"?

Nah.

Kids, I know you can choose a game that you would all enjoy.

I know. How about "dinoball"?

"Dinoball"?

Don! We're stuck inside the nest!

Then let's play "indoor dinoball." We'll use a really

Little ball.

Ok, buddy, go long.

Ow! Don, stop it!

[Squawks] quit shoving!

Shiny made me do it!

[All shouting at once] [squawks] enough!

[All gulp] you kids are entirely too

Cranky. You all need a big time-out. I want you to get out

Of the nest and take some time away from each other.

Really?

We can get out of the nest?

Yes. It's finally stopped raining. I think it's dry enough

Now. [Sighs] all right, kids.

Sometimes the best way to work things out is to first take time

Out for ourselves. I want each of you to go and find your own

Calm space where you can just relax and do your own thing.

Calm space. Hmm.

Once you do that, you'll be able to come back and be

Together.

Ok.

Brr! [Muffled] boy! It was raining so hard, i--oh. [Spits]

There. Whew! As I was saying, it was raining so hard, I could

Barely tell if I was flying or swimming. Hey, where are

The kids?

Out finding their calm space.

Their calm space?

It's something new I'm trying. Let's go find them.

♪ I love holes, holey holes ♪ ahem.

♪ La la loo ♪ hey, don, how's it going?

Did you find your calm space?

Yep. I found my calm space right here, in a hole.

Good.

I love holes. They make me feel calm, and I found this bug.

I'm a nature tracker. I wonder where the other nature trackers

Are. I want to show them my bug.

We'll find them, don.

Come on, hon.

[Squawks]

Yep, there's shiny.

♪ I love shells shiny shells, shelly shells ♪

[Hums] how's it going, shiny?

Find your calm space?

[Squawks] I did. To me, there's nothing better for

Calming myself down than sitting in the sand and making piles

Of seashells. Oh! Look, another one. See? I stacked them from

The biggest to medium-sized to the smallest. And this pile

Is the shiniest ones. I also noticed something interesting

About this shell. If you put it up to your ear, you hear

A really nice, calm sound.

[Soft whooshing] oh, right. I remember this.

I love the sound you hear. My dad used to say it sounded like

The ocean was in the shell.

[Squawks] I wish I could share it with the rest of the

Nature trackers. Buddy would probably have a good

Hypothesis--you know, an idea you can test. Do you know where

Buddy and tiny and don are?

I've got a pretty good idea.

≫ ♪ whenever I need to find a calm space

I fly up to my tiny place ♪ [hums]

Ahem.

[Squawks] tiny?

[Gasps, squawks] what's the password?

Um, can you give us a clue?

Sure. It's something that I was a while ago and I'm not

Anymore.

Hmm. Mad?

Angry?

Close. It's somewhere between those two.

Cranky.

[Squawks] you're right.

Come on in.

[Both grunt] you know, tiny, I think dad

And I will stay out here on the branch.

Ok. Hey, you were right, mom.

I found my calm space up here in my tiny place.

[Squawks] it even rhymes.

Ha! I'm so glad, dear.

What is it about your tiny place that makes you feel

Better, sweetie?

Hmm. Good question. I guess I just love trees.

♪ Oh, I like trees trees like me

I guess I even love 'em trees like me

And I like trees so much I want to hug 'em ♪

Aw, come here, you.

[Sniffs] trees even smell good, and did you ever notice how the

Bark on some trees feels really rough? I like the bark on this

One. It feels smooth.

Mm-hmm. Now that you're in your calm space, you can slow

Down and notice those kinds of things.

Wow. You're right, mom.

I think I'll hug all the different trees around here and

Compare the way their bark feels.

Sounds like a perfect experiment for the nature

Trackers.

[Squawks] I want to tell them about it. I wonder where

Buddy is.

We'll fly around and find out.

Hi, buddy.

Oh, hi, mom. Hi, dad.

Well, did you find your calm space?

No. And I bet everybody else did. Shiny has her shells and

Don has his holes. And I bet tiny's up in her tiny place,

Playing with her dolls and feeling great.

Well, yeah. We just came from there.

See? They have a calm space, but I don't have anywhere to go.

I looked and looked, and I couldn't find anything. It just

Makes me crankier than ever!

Oh, buddy, it's ok if you can't think of a place that's

Just yours. Any place can be your calm space.

[Sighs] really?

Yes. All you need to do is find a spot where you can be

Comfortable and take a few deep breaths. Why don't you go and

Look again?

[Sighs] ok.

Rrowr! I bet when I'm a grown-up t-rex, I won't need to find

A calm space. I'll just stomp and roar, and everybody will do

Whatever I say. Rrowr!

[Chuckles] I'm a huge, ferocious t-rex. Rrowr! "Oh, no! Don't eat

Me!" Rrowr! Ha ha! T-rexes can eat whatever we want. Rrowr!

Ha ha! Everybody out of my way.

Rrowr!

Whoa! [Chuckles] [both squawk]

Hey, mom, dad, when I stomped and shook the branches of that

Tree, a bunch of water fell from the leaves. Look.

[Slurps] hey, it's good water, too.

It should be. It just fell from the sky a minute ago.

Hmm, that's cool. I've never really noticed that before.

Hey, maybe this is my calm space--seeing how these leaves

Hold rainwater and then the water pours out, like a spout on

A cup. Now I want to find the other nature trackers and show

Them what I found.

Buddy!

Ha ha! Did you guys all find your calm space?

Yeah!

Holes.

Shiny shells.

Tiny place. Ooh, and, buddy, after I calmed down and

Everything, I noticed something cool about the bark on my tree,

And I wanted to find you and tell you.

Me, too! I noticed a nature trackers kind of specimen--this

Shell. Listen. It sounds like the ocean.

[Soft whoosh] buddy, buddy! I found

A really cool bug, and it made me want to show all you nature

Trackers.

A bug? Great. Let's see it.

Sure. It's right-- oh, I forgot. I ate it.

[All giggle] oh, don.

What about you, buddy? What did you find?

Well, I noticed that after it rains, the leaves on the

Bushes hold a little extra water, and if you go like

This...you get a little shower.

[All squeal] ha ha ha!

Mom, thanks for sending us out to look for our calm space.

[Squawks] and I'm proud of you all for finding them. See

How getting out into nature can calm you down and make you feel

Better?

Yeah. I'm a nature tracker again.

Yeah! Ready? Because we're all...

Nature trackers!

Trackers.

[Giggles] uh, ok.

So, who wants to pick the next nature trackers game?

Buddy!

Ok, everybody, this game is to stomp around like a t-rex.

[All roar] rrowr! I'm a giant,

Carnivorous t-rex! And I'm going to eat you! "Oh, no! Help! Run!"

Ha ha ha ha! You can run, but you can't hide. Rrowr! Yeah!

Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott, the paleontologist. One of the

Greatest things about being out in nature is making new

Discoveries. It's relaxing going to beach, but it can also

Be very exciting. Out here you can use all senses, hearing,

Smelling, tasting, touching, and seeing. In the city, you'll

Hear sounds like these...

[Horn honks] but in nature if you close your

Eyes and just listen, you can hear amazing sounds, even the

Sound of your feet on the sand.

Here at the beach, you can actually smell and taste the

Salty ocean area and water. How about touch? What does a shell

Feel like or seaweed? How cold is that ocean water? Of course,

There's plenty of things to see here, as well, from the tiniest

Grain of sand to the huge ocean. Up in the sky, you'll

See birds and fluffy clouds.

Ok. 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!
