Squawk.
Squawk. Squawk.
Sara, look.
Sara, Sara!
Sara.
[music on headphones]
[***]
[sighs]
Wow.
Dana.
What? You had
a booger in your nose?
And hey, look.
Cool book you should
want to look at.
A dinosaur.
Wow.
- And?
- It's green?
And?
And what?
- And what's its name?
- Troodon.
How did you know that?
Because it's one of your top
105 favorite dinosaurs.
Number 68.
Wait, why is this
alligator
eating its babies?
It's not.
That's how alligators
protect their babies.
They put them in their mouth
and carry them to safety.
Do you want to
pull the tab?
Come on, "seester",
pull it.
This one you can
push up and down.
It's better if you
make a sound too.
[sighs]
Roar... or...
I don't think it sounded
like that at all.
Really?
No.
See those pictures?
Dinosaurs were a lot
like birds and reptiles.
They had feathers
like birds
and scales like reptiles
and had babies in eggs,
just like both of them.
So?
So, when was
the last time you heard
a bird or an alligator roar?
I think they whistled
like birds.
Really big birds.
Hmm, I never thought
of it like that, cool.
Do you want to play
dinosaur with me?
Not right now.
Come on.
We used to play dino
together all the time.
Please?
You can be whatever
dinosaur you want.
Except the Troodon.
I want that one.
Maybe later.
Is this the book you want?
Yep.
I'll wait here.
[pop music]
- Excuse me.
- How can I help you?
I'd like to borrow
this book, please.
Oh, so you like dinosaurs.
No.
I love them.
Especially
the Troodon.
It looked like this
with long tail feathers
and really sharp claws.
Nice backpack.
Uh...
Dana.
Thanks.
My dad made it for me.
- Want to see what it can do?
- Sure.
You can use the zippers
and buttons
so you can be whatever
dinosaur you want.
Bet you don't know
what this one is.
Hmm big frill.
- Is it a...
- I'll give you a hint.
These are horns.
There should be three of them,
but I only have two hands.
That's another hint.
Triceratops?
- Ding, ding, ding.
- I like dinosaurs too.
Could you imagine meeting
a real-life dinosaur?
That's my biggest
wish ever.
Too bad they aren't
around anymore.
Sometimes you just need to
know how to look for them.
Whoa, you've taken out
like every single dinosaur book
we have here.
Yep.
That's the last new one.
Tell you what.
Why don't you try this book?
My brother and I call it
a dino field guide.
A dino field guide?
It's filled with
dinosaur experiments
that need finishing.
Ooh I bet you like this one,
dino experiment 501,
how did the Troodon
protect its eggs?
How did it do it?
Well I don't know.
You'll have to figure it out.
But the only way to solve it
would be to meet a real Troodon.
- Wouldn't that be fun?
- Can I keep it until tomorrow?
Tell you what, Dan-a.
Dana.
You can keep it for
as long as you want.
Just promise to pass it off
to another
paleontologist in training
when you're done with it.
I will.
Troodon promise.
You just make a claw with
your hand, and then shake.
- Thanks...
- Trek. My name's Trek.
Thanks, Trek.
Sar, guess what?
I've got a dino experiment.
Do you want to do it with me?
[odd screeching]
What was that?
Where's that
coming from?
[odd screeching]
Let me try whistling back.
[whistles]
I think someone
is playing a game with me.
[whistles]
[whistles]
[whistles]
[whistles]
[coos]
[gasps]
[coos]
I don't believe it.
[coos]
[coos]
[coos]
A real-life dinosaur?
[loud chirps]
Hello, Troodon.
You like my backpack?
[cooing]
You want me
to follow you?
[coos and squawks]
Do you think I'm a Troodon
because of my backpack?
[squawks]
You think I'm a Troodon!
[squawks]
I'm coming!
I'm coming!
[squawks]
Is this your nest,
Troodon?
[squawks]
I've never seen
a dinosaur nest before.
And look, you got an egg.
Now I'll be able to see
how you protect your egg
and solve dino
experiment 501.
Troodon?
Troodon?
Troo-don?
[growls]
That doesn't sound
like a Troodon.
[squawks]
An Ozraptor.
I can't believe
how amazing this is.
Your name means
Australian thief.
Thief.
Oh no.
You're probably here to steal
the Troodon's egg.
Think, Dana, think.
If I were a Troodon,
how would I protect my egg?
There's only one thing
that can save that egg.
Research.
[pop music]
[Dana]
Squawk.
Squawk! Squawk!
Squawk! Squawk!
[sighs]
Squawk! Squawk!
Squawk!
Squawk!
Squawk! Squawk!
Squawk!
Squawk!
Squawk! Squawk!
Squawk!
Squawk!
Dana, what are you doing?
Solving a dino experiment,
obviously.
What are you
talking about?
I remembered Troodons
were like birds,
so I read how birds
protect their eggs.
Some birds
protect their eggs
by staying in
large groups
like penguins
and flamingos.
Safety in numbers
but because you didn't
want to play with me,
I was all alone.
So, I pretended
I was a peacock.
They protect their babies
by showing off
their bright feathers
to predators
like this.
- Squawk! Squawk!
- Dana, Dana.
This is a library.
You need to be quiet.
No, you need to help me
protect the Troodon's nest.
Come and look at it.
That Ozraptor might
come back soon.
Dana, I'll play dinosaurs
with you later.
You always say that
and we never do.
Just like we never
make our dinosaur crafts
together
anymore either.
[sighs] Just... try to keep
it down a bit, okay?
But Sara!
Shh.
Okay.
Okay, seester?
[whispers]
Whisper battle.
- Seester.
- Seester.
- Seester.
- Seester.
[Sara] You win.
Just try to keep it down, Dana.
Are you hatching,
baby Troodon?
I can't believe I'm going
to see a real live baby dinosaur
hatch from its egg.
This is incredible.
[loud roar]
It's the...
it's the...
king of the dinosaurs!
You sound hungry
for eggs, T-Rex.
[sniffs]
Think, Dana, think.
If I were a Troodon,
how would I protect my egg
from something
as big as T-Rex?
[squawks]
Of course, Dinosaurs are a lot
like birds and reptiles.
Some reptiles put their babies
in their mouth to protect...
I'll explain later.
[squawks]
[roars]
* Cause love is like
floating on sunshine *
* And dancing on rainbows. *
* And when
I'm with you *
* I hope you're
feeling it too. *
* Ooh. *
* Cause love is
like open sky *
* with my head
in the clouds. *
* I don't care
I don't care if I ever come- *
* I don't care
I don't care if I ever come- *

[roars]
[squawking]

[roars]
[Troodon coos]
[roars]
Are you starting to hatch,
baby Troodon?
I can see your claw.
That's it.
You can do it.
Aww.
There's your
little snout, baby.
One more big push.
Hello, baby Troodon.
It's so cute!
[coos]
[whistles]
[chirps]
[coos]
[chirps]
Sh, baby.
It's probably not
good to be whistling
when there's a hungry
T-Rex around.
Oh, come on.
Please be quiet, baby.
[chirping]
[chirping]
[roars]
Shh...
[snorts]
Hey, T-Rex.
I'm sure that Ozraptor
would make a better snack
than this little
baby Troodon.
[snorts]
You don't agree?
Hang on, baby.
[roars]
[panting]
[***]
[roars]
We got to get you away
from that hungry T-Rex,
baby Troodon.
This will slow her down.
[roars]
Hurry, baby.
[roars]
[chirps]
[snarls]
Sorry, T-Rex.
Come on, baby.
[***]
[Sara]
Oh, Dana.
[***]
[chirping]
Come on, baby.
Come on!
Oh, there you are.
How else do you protect
your babies, mama Troodon?
[coos]
The T-Rex has the largest
nose of any dinosaur.
I don't think it will
take her too long to...
[roars]
[roars]
Find us.
Dana...
Dana?
[squawks]
What are you squawking at,
mama dino?
[squawks]
A whole herd
of dinosaurs?
They're beautiful.
[roars]
Except for when they
want to eat a baby dinosaur
you just watched hatch.
[chirps]
Think, Dana, think.
Why would the mama Troodon
want to get to a giant herd
of other dinosaurs?
Safety in numbers.
If you're not
as strong as a T-Rex,
hide around other
dinosaurs that are.
Smart thinking,
Mama Troodon.
[coos]
Dana.
Where are you?
[roars]
How do we get past
the king of the dinosaurs?
[chirps]
We can't get past
the T-Rex.
[chirps]
But we can go through it.
[squawks]
T-Rex's are big but slow.
Troodons are small and fast.
Ready to run,
baby dino?
[chirps]
Then let's go.
We're coming, T-Rex.
[***]
Watch out!
Go around, baby.
[***]
[growls]
[roars]
Hey, T-Rex.
Want a Troodon?
Then eat this one!
[roars]
Run, baby!
Sorry, T-Rex,
that's just a back pack
that looks like a Troodon.
Better luck on
your next hunt.
Come on.
Your name means
king of the dinosaurs,
I'm sure you'll catch
something soon.
[growls]
[squawks]
Bye, T-Rex.
Happy hunting.
[chirping]
Bye baby!
[squawks]
[Sara]
Dana!
Dana!
Dana! Dana!
Sara!
Where did you go?
I've been looking
all over for you.
Where's your shoe
and what happened
to your backpack?
Dad's going to be upset.
Sar, you won't believe it.
I just got chased
by a T-Rex.
Well, it wasn't chasing me
as much as this baby Troodon
that I was protecting.
I'm just glad you're safe.
Don't run off without
telling me next time.
Dino promise?
Dino promise.
Hey, since you already
have a dino claw,
do you want to play
dinosaurs now?
Okay, but I get
to be the T-Rex.
Roar!
Or...
- Did you drop this?
- Yes, and guess what?
I solved dino
experiment 501,
how the Troodon
protects its eggs.
Good job.
How did they?
They did it like birds,
and reptiles.
Troodons made loud noises
to scare off smaller dinosaurs
and move their eggs to keep
them safe from larger ones.
Look what the T-Rex
did to my backpack.
She's got a pretty
powerful imagination.
The coolest kids do.
Yeah, I used to have
an imaginary friend unicorn.
You still talk to
Princess Rainbow Moon Ray.
No, I don't.
Neigh.
Trek, are you almost
ready to head home?
- Oh, Dan, I want you to meet-
- Sara. She's my big sister.
And this is her
little sister, Dana.
Dana's going to be
looking after
our dino field guide
for a while.
Dino Dana.
I like the sound of that.
Maybe I'll see you both
around the library sometime.
Absolutely.
If you're lucky.
What?
Good luck catching me,
sister T-Rex.
