02x14 - Dinos A to Z, Part Three, Classification/Dinos A to Z, Part Four, A to Z Picnic

[bunniefuu]

Hello, folks. It's me the conductor. Today buddy and tiny

Continue to collect all the different species in the song

"Dinosaurs a to z," 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

[Indistinct chatter] rawk! Ok. May I have your

Attention, please? You all remember the big idea for the

Dinosaur train to pick up all species in the song

"Dinosaurs a to z," right?

Right!

And then we'll all have a big picnic at troodon town.

[Cheering] well, the good news is it's

Going really great! There are already so many different

Species on board.

[Cheering] but there are still more

Species to pick up. Rawk! Let's do a musical roll call so we

Can figure out which "a" to "z" creatures are already on board.

Yeah, and, each creature, when you here your letter,

Shout out your name.

Hit it, mr. Conductor!

♪ "A"...

Apatosaurus "b"...

Brachiosaurus "c"...

Corythosaurus "d"...

Deinonychus "e"...

Einiosaurus "f"...

Fabrosaurus "g"...

Gallimimus "h"...

Hadrosaurus "i"...

Iguanadon "j"...

Jaxartosaurus what time is it?

It's time for the chorus hey, hey, hey

Come along with me choo choo choo choo

This is how we memorize dinosaurs "a" to "z" ♪

Now, where were we?

♪ "K"...

Kentrosaurus "l"...

Lambeosaurus "m"...

Megalosaurus "n"...

Nodosaurus "o" ♪

Ornithomimus?!

That means next we pick up oren and ollie ornithomimus.

You mean, those speedy ornithomimid twins you told me

About?

≫ yep!

Oh, ho ho! Two more dinosaurs I can race at the "a"

To "z" picnic. When can I meet them?

Well, first we have to figure out how to get to

Ornithomimus orchards. We'll be right back.

Hi.

Ahh. There you are, junior conductors.

We were just working on our route. Oh, these pesky time

Tunnels are so complicated. Ha ha!

Look! There! A tunnel that leads to ornithomimus orchards.

Well, bless my tracks and trestles! You're right, tiny.

How long have you had these maps?

Oh, they're old. They belonged to mother before I

Started using them.

But don't worry, kids.

They're completely up to date.

All the time tunnels are accurate.

Time tunnel? Oops! I better call out the next time tunnel.

Oh! You junior conductors want to join me?

Yes!

Time tunnel! Time tunnel approaching!

Boy, this must be the greatest day in dinosaur train

History.

Who are we picking up next?

I forget.

Oren and ollie ornithomimus.

Oh! They're ornithomimids. I like putting dinosaurs in

Different groups.

That's called classification, don. Putting

Creatures in groups by the order of the alphabet or by

Similar features or by what they eat or where they leave,

It's all classification.

Next stop, ornithomimus orchard station in another part

Of the cretaceous time period.

All aboard!

Ha! All aboard!

So, you guys, did you hear about our big idea? We're

Traveling around the mesozoic-- oh, sure. Everyone in the

Mesozoic knows about tiny's "a" to "z" idea.

Great job, mr. Conductor!

[Cheering] well, garsh.

Come on! Let's meet everyone!

Ahem. Heh.

Hey. How are you? We're oren and ollie. We're really fast.

We'd love to have a race. Want to race?

Oren, ollie!

"O" is for ornithomimus.

Right. Your classification is ornithomimid dinosaurs. You

Have long legs, and you run really fast.

Don's trying to classify all the different "a" to "z"

Dinosaurs.

I like that classification!

Fast runners like me!

Let's race around the cars!

Ooh! Another classification--fast runners. I

Got to make a list.

Ornithomimus, gallimimus, fabrosaurus.

So who's next on the "a" to "z" list?

"P" is for parasaurolophus!

Did someone say parasaurolophus?

Yeah. Next stop, we can pick up perry parasaurolophus.

Hooray! Maybe we can sing together.

And hoot together. He's a hooting hadrosaur.

Another classification-- dinosaurs that can hoot through

Their crests.

What if we had a train car that was all hadrosaurs?

Whoa! That is a big idea, buddy.

Yeah! We could call it the hadrosaur car.

Or the hooting hadrosaur car. Corythosaurus,

Hadrosaurus, jaxartosaurus, and lambeosaurus.

Hoot! We get our own car!

So now we need to get to parasaurolophus plains.

Already on it, tiny! Time tunnel! Time tunnel approaching!

Perry!

Hey! You're here. I was just talking to that crazy bird. He

Told me all about your big idea, tiny.

Rawk! So you'll come with us?

Are you kidding? I'd love to help you do your "a" to "z"

Thing. I'm the letter "p," baby.

[Hooting] [hooting]

Come on, perry!

Yeah! Let's jam!

Can I jam with you guys, perry?

Shiny, we would love it.

[Hooting] we're adding another car!

We'll call it the hooting hadrosaur car!

Come on, everybody! Let's go! Hoot!

All aboard!

So, perry, this is mr.

Corythosaurus, miss hadrosaurus, miss

Jaxartosaurus, and our very own neighbor mr. Lambeosaurus.

Call me larry, and let me say, that is quite a crest,

Perry. It must produce a distinctive tone.

Oh, it does. Check this out.

[Hooting] whoa, oh, hey! Hoot!

[Indistinct chatter] oh, this is wonderful! Maybe

We hooting hadrosaurs could add a special hooting section to

The "a" to "z" song. Let's hear it, boys!

♪ "K," kentrosaurus "l," lambeosaurus

"M," megalosaurus "n," nodosaurus

"O," ornithomimus "p," parasaurolophus

"Q," qantassaurus ♪ so the next species is "q"

For qantassaurus.

Rawk! That's something new.

I've never met a qantassaurus before.

Well, here's your chance, tiny. Time tunnel! Time tunnel

Approaching.

Ba-kaw!

G'day! Quinn qantassaurus at your service, mates.

Hi, mr. Qantassaurus. I'm tiny pteranodon, and this is my

Family.

Oh! You're the ones doing the "a" to "z" train ride and

Picnic in troodon town, right?

Bonzer! I'm in!

Wow! You've heard about it?

Oh, crikey, yeah! All the birds are twittering it, and

They heard it from another bird, an, uh, an enan--eanti--

Enantiornithine!

Right! You kids are smart.

Uh, so where do I sit, mates?

Hmm. Long legs, walks on two feet, long neck. Well, quinn,

You're clearly an ornithopod.

Right again, mate.

Wow! We're collecting a lot of ornithopods.

And you love to collect things yourself, don, like

Teeth and feathers, so you're classifying things all the time.

And there are so many ways to classify dinosaurs--by

Letters in the alphabet.

That's called alphabetizing.

Ooh! And we've got theropods, the hadrosaurs, the ornithopods.

All the herbivores and the carnivores.

And don't forget the omnivores! Ha ha ha!

Right, mother! All aboard!

So we've gathered the ornithopods together into an

Ornithopod car.

But some of you could also ride in the hooting hadrosaur

Car. Wow. Classification can be tricky sometimes.

Hmm. You're like us, a long-legged biped. You have two

Long legs.

Maybe you're a fast runner, too.

I'll admit I'm pretty fast, but I doubt I'd win a footrace

With the likes of you two.

Ha ha ha! Yeah. I tried racing them once.

But you'll race with us in troodon town, right, quinn?

Too right! No worries.

Time tunnel! Time tunnel approaching! Next stop the

Letter "r" and rhabdodon ridge station.

Morris stegosaurus?

Hey. What's up, small ones?

I heard you needed the letter "s," stegosaurus.

Yeah, but we expected to find the letter "r," rhabdodon,

Here.

Well, yeah, but I'm friends with reba rhabdodon, and, like,

Everybody's talking about tiny's big "a" to "z" idea, so

I just came along with her.

Hope that's cool.

Rawk! It's fantastic! Hi, reba.

Hello. I'm an ornithopod.

Great! We've got a bunch on board.

Come on, reba. Hey, conductor dude, nice job

Coordinating this whole "a" to "z" trip.

Oh, thank you, morris. The train's getting so big, we're

Even adding another engine. We call it the booster engine. It

Gives us more power.

Whoa! I'll be proud to tell my grandchildren about it

Someday. All on you, man. All aboard.

Oh.

Enjoying yourself, don?

How's the classifying going?

Great, but I'm trying to think of a brand-new

Classification. I've got thumping tails, fast runners.

Ok, "a" to "z" dinosaurs! I thought you'd like to know that

We've already got our letter "t" on board. "T" is for

Tyrannosaurus. It's buddy!

Rawk!

Hey. I just thought of my brand-new classification--all

Dinosaurs who are my brother--buddy!

Let's sing the "a" to "z" song. Stegosaurus, ready to

Pound out a b*at?

Hooting hadrosaurs, ready to do some hooting?

Hoot!

Let's start from the letter "k"!

Hoot!

This is how we memorize dinosaurs "a" to "z" ♪

Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott the paleontologist. On the dinosaur

Train, buddy and the pteranodon kids placed all the dinosaurs

Into groups based on their features. Today paleontologists

Do the very same thing. We call it classification. Stegosaurus

And kentrosaurus are part of a dinosaur group called

Stegosaurs that all have plates and spikes running down the

Middle of their backs. The stegosaur family is closely

Related to ankylosaurs like ankylosaurus and

Euoplocephalus, which all have boney armor covering their

Bodies. Today stegosaurs and ankylosaurs form an even bigger

Group called armored dinosaurs.

We can do the same thing with meat-eating dinosaurs, or

Theropods. Raptors like

Velociraptor had feathers on their bodies and a big claw on

The second toe, and raptors are closely related to huge

Tyrannosaur dinosaurs like t. Rex. Scientists who study

Animals living today also use

Classification, dividing up creatures according to their

Features. For example, mammals like rabbits, horses, and

Chipmunks all have hair, and birds like chickens, blue jays,

And flamingoes are a whole different group. They all have

Feathers. Ok. Keep watching for more dinosaur discoveries.

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

In the "dinosaurs a to z song" ride to troodon town for a big

Picnic, so come on along with me on the dinosaur train. All

Aboard!

[Whistle blows] rawk! I bet there are more

Dinosaurs on board than ever before! This must be the

Greatest day ever!

Come on, tiny! Let's go see if we can help!

So, tiny. What's the next letter of the alphabet that we

Need to pick up?

Hmm. Mr. Conductor, may we look at the alphabet, please?

Well, certainly, miss tiny.

Hmm. A, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r,

S, t.

"U"! Utahraptor!

Wait. Isn't it ultraraptor?

Oh, I call him that sometimes. That's my nickname

For him since he's ultrainteresting, but it's

Utahraptor. We'll find him here, and then over here is

Where we'll find most of the rest of the "a" to "z"

Dinosaurs like velociraptor.

And after velociraptor is "w"!

Indeed! Wannanosaurus and two remaining species,

Yangchuanosaurus and zigongosaurus, can all be found

In the same area.

Great! So picking up the last of the "a" to "z" species

Shouldn't be hard at all.

Oh! This "a" to "z" adventure will go down in

History.

[Cheering] all right. Let's go find a

Utahraptor. Next stop, utahraptor alley station in

Another part of the cretaceous time period.

Yay!

Hello! I'm ulysses utahraptor. I heard about your

"A" to "z" idea from elliot enantiornithine, that bird

That's out spreading the news.

Hello, ulysses. All aboard!

Ulysses, it's great to meet another meat eater. You have

Huge hands and feet.

Ha ha! Yep! I sure love using my claws.

Hey! We have a whole other group of dinosaurs on the

Train, a toe claw group.

Did someone say toe claws?

Hey, ulysses. I'm derek. Toe claws are the best, don't you

Think?

Blaaugh! Don't forget these old claws.

Yeah, great. Nice toe claws, but isn't time to pick up the

Next dinosaur in the alphabet?

Ooh! Yes, tiny. I have advanced word that the "v" and

"W" dinosaurs will be boarding the train together.

Hooray! Two letters at one stop!

Time tunnel! Time tunnel approaching!

Next stop wannanosaurus woodlands station in another

Part of the cretaceous time period.

Hi, kids, mrs. P.

Velma velociraptor! So good to see you.

I am so proud to represent the letter "v" in tiny's big

"A" to "z" idea.

Hmm. I don't see a wannanosaurus.

Looking for a wannanosaurus to go to the picnic in troodon

Town? Well, I know one. Ha ha!

Me! I'm juan wannanosaurus, you know, "w"!

♪ Wannanosaurus ♪ ha ha ha!

All aboard!

How should I classify you, juan? You're small but with a

Big boney head.

Knock, knock. Who's there? A big boney head. Ha ha! That's

Because I'm a pachycephalosaur.

Just like a stygimoloch.

Rawk! The last two dinosaurs to pick up, and they're huge!

Yes! Yangchuanosaurus and zigongosaurus are very large

Species. Heh. Hmm. Maybe-- you'll need another car.

Even I can't remember adding so many cars.

"W," "y," "z". Wait. Did we skip a dinosaur?

We'll need to add another observation car! Time tunnel!

Next stop, yangchuanosaurus yard station in the jurassic

Time period.

Ah. Good afternoon. I received a message about your

"A" to "z" trip. I am ready to go. Will I have to do anything

Special?

No, sir. You just ride along to troodon town and go to the

Picnic with all the other dinosaurs.

And sing along on the "a to z song."

Hmm. It is a good song. I can do that.

I'm tiny pteranodon, and these are my brothers don and

Buddy.

It is a great pleasure to meet you.

H-hi.

Heh heh. Don't be nervous, buddy. You will be a huge

T. Rex one day, bigger even than me.

Classification time. Yang's another theropod. Check out

Those teeth and -toed feet.

Ohh!

Good to see you "a" to "z" dinosaurs.

Speaking of "z," that's the last species to pick up.

Yay! One more species, and we'll be in troodon town,

Singing the "a" to "z" song.

I hope the zigongosaurus wants to come with us.

Next stop, zigongosaurus zenith station in another part

Of the jurassic time period.

Mr. Zigongosaurus, I'm tiny pteranodon. Have you already

Heard about our big "a" to "z" idea?

I've heard about your idea, but I just got a ticket to go

To the next station. I'm not so sure about traveling all the

Way to troodon town.

Aww.

Ziong, I have a dream to see all "a" to "z" dinosaurs

Ride the train together to troodon town for a great big

Picnic. We've all worked together, all the other

Dinosaurs from "a" to "y," and, well, you're our "z". Please

Come with us, ziong. Be a part of dinosaur train history.

Please.

But won't you need another flat car?

Already hooked up, mr.

Zigongosaurus!

Ziong, ziong, ziong, ziong, ziong, ziong!

Ziong.

[Cheering] wow! We did it! All

Species are on board.

Yeah! We have every dinosaur in the song from a, b, c to x,

Y, z.

[Cheering] um, you guys, I hate to say

This, but I think we forgot the letter "x"!

The letter "x"?

That's xenotarsosaurus.

I don't think we ever picked up a xenotarsosaurus. Did we?

[Toilet flushes] did someone say

Xenotarsosaurus?

I'm xavier xenotarsosaurus.

Oh! We're so happy you're here.

Me, too! So you must be the ones with the big "a" to "z"

Idea.

Yes! And you're our letter "x"!

When did you get on board?

A while ago. I have been hanging out with the other

Theropod dinosaurs. They told me about tiny's plan. So I hear

We are going to...

Troodon town!

[Cheering] ba-kaw!

Rawk! Welcome, everyone, to the dinosaurs "a" to "z" picnic.

[Cheering] let's hear from the hooting

Hadrosaurs.

Hoot!

Carnivores!

Rawwr!

Herbivores!

Whoo-hoo!

Omnivores!

Whoo-hoo!

Let's see those claws and teeth!

Rawwr!

Ooh! How about fast legs?

Yeah! It's time for that footrace!

Wait for me, kids! I may be old, but I can still run with

The best of them.

First one to touch this tree is the winner! Ready? Go!

[Laughter and chatter]

Rawk! Oren and ollie win again, but you almost won, mrs.

Conductor.

Thanks, tiny. I've been practicing. Huh!

Mr. Conductor, it's so wonderful that you helped to

Make this all happen.

Aw, it was my pleasure, mrs.

P.

We all made dinosaur train history today! All "a" to

"Z" species and all the rest of us!

Blaughhh! Tiny power!

[Cheering] can we please sing the song

Together now?

Yes! This will be the greatest performance of the "a"

To "z" song ever! Everyone ready?

Ready!

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

Yangchuanosaurus, a theropod dinosaur from the jurassic time

Period, and here is zigongosaurus, a long-necked

Sauropod dinosaur also from the jurassic. In addition to when

They lived, these dinosaurs

Share something else, where they lived. Both were found in

Asia. Paleontologists have discovered lots of different

Kinds of dinosaurs in asia.

Here are just a few asian dinosaurs that we've met on the

Dinosaur train. A feathered

Theropod named microraptor, a beautiful bird called

Confuciusornis, and a frilled ceratopsian called

Protoceratops. Paleontologists are still finding lots of new

Species in asia, as well as other places all around the

World. Maybe one day you'll dig up a brand-new dinosaur in some

Far-off place. Meanwhile 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!
