SON. >> HELLO, MOTHER. YOU ARE LOOKING PARTICULARLY FRIGHTENING THIS EVENING. >> YOU THINK SO? WHY, THANK YOU. ARE YOU ENJOYING YOURSELF, SHINY? >> YEAH! I THINK I'M FINALLY NOT SCARED ANYMORE. >> HA! NOW THAT'S THE SPIRIT. NOTHING SCARES ME EITHER. >> AAAAH! AAAAH! HO HO! >> THAT'S NOT ME OR MY STOMACH. >> AAAAH! AAAAH! >> OH, BOY! THAT MR. CONDUCTOR CAN SURE MAKE SOME FUNNY SOUNDS. >> UH, TINY, HE'S BEHIND US. >> OHHHH! >> IT MUST BE ANOTHER TROODON MAKING THAT SOUND, RIGHT, MR. CONDUCTOR? >> ACTUALLY IT'S NO TROODON. THAT'S A SOUND I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. >> YOU HAVEN'T? >> AAH! >> AAAAH! AAAAH! HA HA HA! >> WHAT WAS THAT? >> WELL, I INTEND TO FIND OUT. >> RIGHT BEHIND YOU, MR. PTERANODON. >> AAH! >> [SCREAMING] >> HA HA! >> HUH. IT'S SO CUTE. >> OHH. HELLO. MY NAME IS VLAD. I'M A VOLATICOTHERIUM. WHO ARE YOU? >> HI. I'M TINY PTERANODON, AND THIS IS MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS. >> HELLO! >> AH. I, UH, I HOPE I DIDN'T FRIGHTEN YOU. HA HA! >> PFFT. NOT AT ALL. WELL, MAYBE A LITTLE. >> HOO HOO! A LOT! I'M STILL SPOOKED ACTUALLY. >> UH, VLAD, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS, LIKE WHY WERE YOU MAKING THAT SHRIEKING NOISE? >> OH. I ALWAYS MAKE THAT SOUND WHEN I WAKE UP IN CASE THERE ARE ANY OTHER VOLATICOTHERIUMS AROUND. >> I NOTICE THAT YOU'RE COVERED WITH FUR. ARE YOU A MAMMAL? >> AH. EXCELLENT OBSERVATION, TINY. I AM. >> BUT HOW CAN A MAMMAL FLY? >> I DON'T EXACTLY FLY. I GLIDE. I OPEN MY WINGS AND GLIDE DOWN FROM UP HIGH, BUT TO GET UP HIGH, I HAVE TO CLIMB WITH MY ARMS AND LEGS. >> OOH! JUST LIKE A MICRORAPTOR. >> AAAAAAH! >> BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE, SIR. YOU'RE NOT FROM THIS PART OF THE CRETACEOUS, ARE YOU? >> NO. I CAME FROM FAR AWAY AND A LONG TIME AGO. I'M A MAMMAL FROM THE JURASSIC TIME PERIOD. SEE, I RODE THE DINOSAUR TRAIN ALL THE WAY TO TROODON TOWN, BUT IT WAS BRIGHT DAYLIGHT WHEN I ARRIVED, SO I WENT INSIDE THIS SHADY ROUNDHOUSE TO SLEEP UNTIL IT WAS DARK. >> OH. YOU MUST BE NOCTURNAL. >> RIGHT. I SLEEP IN THE DAY AND HUNT IN THE NIGHT. A LOT OF MAMMALS ARE NOCTURNAL. >> REALLY? >> YES. IT'S EASIER FOR LITTLE FURRY MAMMALS TO HUNT FOR THEIR FOOD AT NIGHT WHEN MOST OF THE HUGE, SCARY DINOSAURS ARE ASLEEP. >> EXCEPT FOR SOME OF US. HA HA! LIKE TROODONS. BLAUUUGH! >> HA HA HA! YOU MUST HAVE SHARP EYES TO HUNT AT NIGHT, RIGHT? >> YES, BUT I HAVE ESPECIALLY GREAT HEARING. SEE, I EAT INSECTS, AND IT REALLY HELPS ME TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE BUZZING NOISE THAT BUGS MAKE, AND I WOULD HAVE STAYED ASLEEP, BUT ALL THIS MUSIC AND LAUGHING AND SCREAMING, IT WOKE ME UP. >> OH. I'M SORRY, MR. VOLATICOTHERIUM. >> EH, CALL ME VLAD, AND DON'T WORRY. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF A NAP ANYWAY. IT'S NIGHT NOW, AND I SHOULD BE OUT HUNTING INSECTS. [TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] >> OOH! THAT'S THE SOUND OF YOUR NIGHT TRAIN RIDE BACK HOME, KIDS. >> MR. CONDUCTOR, THIS WAS THE MOST FUN AND SPOOKIEST NIGHT EVER. >> AND NOW WE GET TO RIDE THE NIGHT TRAIN. >> OOH! THE NIGHT TRAIN. OOH, I LIKE THAT! HA HA! >> [CHEERING] >> HERE WE GO.
