(playful music)
- Hi Bob, the praying mantis, what you doing today? Hangin' like usual? Yeah, I better go get back to Dino patrol. Bye Bob, see you later. - Here baby T-Rex. You out here anywhere? - There you go. (water splashing) - Come in Park Ranger Aaron!
(walkie-talkie beeps) - Oh, great, Park Ranger LB. Yeah, go ahead Park Ranger LB. - I found a pack of Apatosauruses. (walkie-talkie beeps) - Oh, cool! Where are you anyway?
(Walkie-talkie beeps) - I'm by the lake.
(walkie-talkie beeps) - Okay, well, I'm over here at the park, making sure that baby
T-Rex isn't on the loose. You know it's gonna scare somebody away, so how about you come on back over here and we'll meet up okay?
(walkie-talkie beeps) - Okay.
(walkie-talkie beeps) - Cool, ten-four.
(walkie-talkie beeps) - Ranger LB found some Apatosauruses. That's cool. - T-Rex went this way. Okay, baby T-Rex. You're around here! Come on baby T-Rex! - Okay, straight that way. Wait a minute. What's that? Whoa! Wow, what is that? I don't know but I better
dig it up with my shovel. Let's go through this. Three, two, one! (leaves rustling) - Okay there we go. Oh, what is this? Gotta put it like that. (Leaves crunching) (animal roars) - What was that? I thought I heard a dinosaur
out there somewhere. Oh man. Scary out here in these woods. - Scoop that in! (grunts) Whoa! Ah cool! This is a bone. That might mean? Maybe it's a dinosaur bone! (gasps) Whoa! - Come in Park Ranger Aaron!
(Walkie-talkie beeps) (grumbles) - Yeah, go ahead Park Ranger LB. (walkie-talkie beeps) - I found a bone!
(Walkie-talkie beeps) - You found a bone? Is it a dinosaur bone?
(Walkie-talkie beeps) - I don't know? I think so. You gotta get here right now!
(Walkie-talkie beeps) - Oh cool man, that sounds awesome! I can't believe you found a bone. I'll be right there and
we'll check it out okay? (Walkie-talkie beeps) - Okay!
(Walkie-talkie beeps) - Park Ranger LB found a dinosaur bone! - I think it's that way. Okay, I'll go this way. - Put that in there and
zip it all the way up. - Park Ranger LB! Where is it, where is, where's the bone? - Oh, the bone! - Oh! - Oh yeah, it's heavy! - Oh wow! Look at that bone!
- It's really heavy! - (laughs) I think you
hit the mother load! - Yeah! - This is a real bone! I think this is a dinosaur bone. It's probably from a new species! Like a huge big scary dinosaur. - Yeah! No, I thought is was like an old species. You know, I see these in
the museum all the time. - No, no, no. It's a brand new species. We're gonna make headlines with
this species we discovered, you know. - No, I think it's still
an old one, you know. - Well you know what? I could know who could tell us. - Who? - Okay, I know this paleontologist. He's named Nate and he is out
in Los Angeles in California. He'll be able to examine it and tell us what kind of dinosaur it is! - Yeah! - Okay, cool. - I still think it's
an old species though. - No, I know it's new. I'll challenge you to prove that this is from the new species, okay? - Okay! - We just gotta get on a
plane and go to California. - Okay, let's go, California?! - Yeah? We gotta go to California
for him to look at it. - No, I thought we were
doing a meet and greet at Jurassic Quest in Dallas. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Forgot about that. Hey, you know what? We'll just hop on plane. Pop over to California Get him to look at the bone. Come back in time for the meet and greet. - Yeah! - All right, let's get out of here. Let's go to California. Hey, Park Rangers! If you'd like to come see us in Dallas for our meet and greet at Jurassic Quest, get your parents to go
check out our Facebook page. We'll be in Dallas December 7, 2019. Hope to see you there. Come on Park Ranger LB! Let's go to California! (plane zooming) - Whoa! Look Park Ranger LB! It's the dueling dinosaurs! - Yeah, the dueling dinosaurs! - Okay, so here at the
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. We're gonna learn all about dinosaurs down in the Antarctic, okay? - Yeah! - Okay, we're gonna meet up with Nate. He's the paleontologist. He discovered his own
species of dinosaurs! - What?
- It's not really his. Nah, it's for the whole world, okay? - Okay.
- It's so cool. All right, I think the exhibit's this way! Come on, let's go! - I'm gonna get ya! Rawr! - Hey, what are you doing over here, man? - Oh, I'm just comparing the bone. - No, this is not like the bone we found! I'm telling you, it's a new species, okay? He's gonna be so excited,
just check this out. - Yeah, right. - Whoa, we're going through a portal. Hey, I think this is Antarctica here. - Antarctica? - Yeah, maybe we can find
some bones around here. - Oh hey, maybe this? - No! The bone isn't that big. It's not that bone right there. - Really? - It's a new bone!
- See it's like-- - I'm telling you it's a new species. Are these power tools? Awesome, man. Who knew they had power tools
down in Antarctica, huh? - Whoa!
- Oh hey look! - How's it going? - Hey, it's Nate Smith. He's the paleontologist
I was telling you about. - Welcome to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. - Thanks Nate, for having
us out to learn all about the new species of dinosaurs
that you found, right? - Yeah, it looks like you
guys are getting geared up to hunt some Antarctic
dinosaurs right now. This is heavy equipment so you gotta be wearing the right gear.
- Right gear? - Let me get you some of these. - Oh, boots! - These are some of the
mountaineering boots we wear in Antarctica. You wanna try them on? - These actually went to Antarctica? - Yeah, so I wore these
on our expedition in 2003 and also 2010. - Why don't you try those
on there, Park Ranger LB. - [LB] Oh yeah, they fit. - [Nate] All right, now
you're nice and toasty. - So what's this, a jackhammer? - This is one of our electric jackhammers. - Jackhammer, okay, just
give that one a try there. - If you grab hold and push it forward, you can fire it up. (machine whirring) - There ya go! - Whoa, cool! Whoa! - [Nate] Well, don't forget your earmuffs. - Oh yeah, my earmuffs. Yeah, we need this. Whoa! - Awesome! - Pretty cool, huh?
- That's so cool! - Okay, so what else do you got over, oh, I see more. - Well, over here, we've got
some of the sledgehammers we use and even the rock saw. This is kind of a large concrete saw, that we'll use to cut blocks. - Does this one fire up too? - Yeah, this one you kind
of slide forward and back. - Oh, okay. - Over here. - Here, you give that a try and I'll make the noise, okay? (man buzzes)
(laughing) - Okay, all right. But, you don't use this
for the actual, like, when you get down to the fossils, right? This would be tiny. - This is just to collect the dinosaurs. But, once we got the
fossils back in the lab, we use real specialized tools. - Oh, okay. Is that what this is over here? - So here you can see a little air stride. This is almost like what you might find in the dentist office. So you can peer through and
see how we actually prepare fossils with that tool. - Awesome, okay. Which way to the exhibit? - Well, let's go this way. So now, we're going to see
what Antarctica was like before the age of dinosaurs. - [LB] That's cool! - So there's dinosaurs in Antarctica? - There's dinosaurs in
Antarctica and there's animals even older than dinosaurs in Antarctica. - Whoa! - Like Lystrosaurus or Thrinaxodon. - So you know where Antarctica is, right? - Yeah, it's down. - Yeah, it's the South Pole, right? - Yeah, South Pole.
- Down at the South Pole. So these are what the continents
look like today, right? With Antarctica over the South Pole. - Oh, yeah. - But, several 100 million years ago, it was a very different configuration. - [Aaron] Oh, that's right, Pangaea. - [Nate] So about 250 million years ago, Antarctica was connected
to the other continents. - [Aaron] Okay, so this
is all one big continent. So, what ever dinosaurs lived in one, could move to the other, right? - [Nate] Yeah, exactly. These animals could move between
the continents back then. - So what's this big dinosaur right here? - So this is a replica of Cryolophosaurus, one of the most famous
dinosaurs from Antarctica. - Wait, and that? And, this too? - This is a skeleton of Cryolophosaurus. 'Cryo' is frozen, frozen crested lizard. In real life, this is what
Cryolophosaurus probably would have looked like. - Wow! - So a lot of these carnivorous dinosaurs we know had feathers and
some of them even had these fine filaments like this. So these are some of our new
dinosaurs from Antarctica. - Okay, the soro poda morph. - Sauropodomorph and
they probably looked like some dinosaurs you're familiar with. The real giant Sauropods right? Diplodocus, Apatosaurus. These are the cousins of those
dinosaurs and this one looks pretty small in particular,
but that's because, it's only known from
a skeleton that's only four or five years old. So, he's still just a baby. - So is this what the Cryolophosaurus ate? - Yeah, these animals might
have been on the dinner menu for Cryolophosaurus. - What's that? - This is Kronosaurus, so this is actually a relative of Mosasaurus. This is another type of
Mosasaurus is a group of marine reptiles that lived
during the age of dinosaurs. - So, Mosasaurus is part of
the Mosasaur group, right? - Exactly, so this animal isn't a dinosaur or a fish or a shark. It's actually related to lizards. - Okay, so I finally understand that now. You got it?
- Yeah, I get that, think so. - Hey look! There's penguins over here. - Penguins! - There were penguins
back in the dinosaur era? - Well, not long after the
end of the age of dinosaurs. It doesn't take that long
for dinosaurs to come back to Antarctica in the form of
modern birds, like penguins. So modern birds are dinosaurs
in the same way that bats are a special type of mammal. - All right, another portal here. - This is the last thing I
wanted to show you was about all the other science that
takes place in Antarctica. So, we have folks like
me studying glaciers and actually even taking
cores from the ice itself. This is a replica of
one of these ice cores that comes from Antarctica. - Well, I think we're near the end, but, we've got a really
important question for you, Nate. Let's go check it out. - Let's check it out. - Well Nate, that was pretty
cool, the Antarctic dinosaurs you found down there
at the South Pole, man. I can't believe they actually discovered real dinosaur bones. - It's pretty amazing, yeah. - I think we've got something
that's gonna blow your mind! - Yeah! - No, yeah, what's your question? - Okay, yeah. Check this out. Look at this bad boy right here! - Oh wow. - Check out this dinosaur bone specimen. - This is pretty delicate. - Yeah. - Yeah. - The preservation looks really good. It's pretty fresh. - Well, that's because we found it on the banks of a lake,
down near T-Rex ranch. So what do you think this is, huh? - Oh, I'm not sure. It looks bovine. - It that like a really big species? - No, no. It's a Bos-Taurus I think? - It's a new species you've
never seen before, right? - This is a cow bone for a dog. - What! A dog bone? - Essentially a big dog bone. - Aw man! You found a dog bone at the lake. - No wonder the cat's were all over it. - Well, you should take it back. I don't really do mammals. - Well Nate, we appreciate your time. - It was great having you both out at the Natural History Museum. - Thank you very much for showing us the Antarctic dinosaurs exhibit. It's amazing what you found. We learned a lot, didn't we? - Yep! - Okay, cool! You know what, I think we should check out some of the other
dinosaur bones over here. - There's lots more to see guys. - All right, thanks Nate! - Yeah, take care!
- Bye! - See you later. (whoosh)
- Okay, Park Ranger LB, so we flew all the way out here
to Los Angeles for the bone. Now, what are we going to
do that we're here, huh? - LEGOLAND! - Yeah, LEGOLAND's a good idea. Or we could, (gasp) T-Rex! (suspenseful music) - What, where's that? - It's right there, it's a T-Rex. - No, that's a Colosseum. No, that's a T-Rex! - Quick, get out of here! Hide behind the tree! (dinosaur roars) - Man, why's there a
T-Rex everywhere we go? There's always a T-Rex, man. We gotta figure out some way
to get rid of this dinosaur. Think, think. - Could we use a bone? - Well, where we gonna get a bone, huh? - Inside? - I don't think they will let us have those bones in there. - Wait a minute!
- What? - Dog bone.
- Oh, that's right! The dog bone!
- Yeah! - Okay, here we go, good idea. Let's get this dog bone here. Here we go. Okay, you gonna throw it?
- Yeah. - Okay, well, be careful
out there then, okay? - Okay, three, two, one!
- Careful now, throw it! - Yah! - Oh! (dinosaur roars)
- There he goes! - T-Rex is going for it! It worked, he's gone. He took off, man. I'm outta here! (heavy breathing) - [LB] Hey, Park Rangers,
