Dino Dana!

[roar]

[Dana]
"Dino Divers."

[***]



[**]

[Dana]
Cannonball!

Deinosuchus?

[***]

Sara, you won't believe it!

I just saw a Deinosuchus
under the water!

Its name means
"terrible crocodile"

because it looked like
a huge crocodile.

It's going now.

But maybe it'll be back.

Sara?

Sara, are you okay?

Sara!

Yes...
I'm fine.



[Dana]
Are you gonna jump?

Uh huh...

[Dana]
When?

Great cannonball, Dana.
I liked your form.

Head down, legs in,
maximum splash.

Sara!

You're holding up the line.

[sigh]

[***]

[**]

You're gonna have to let go
of that railing sometime.

You can do it, Sara!

[whispered]
She's probably not gonna do it.

She's scared of heights.

Hey, Sara, I used to be
scared of heights,

but then I read a quote
from a great philosopher

that changed my life.

He said,
"Just don't look down."

[Sara gasps]

Huh.

I've never seen anyone
belly flop

without actually
hitting the water.

Do I have to jump?

Oh, only if you wanna
pass this swim class.

[hissing and groaning]

[hissing and groaning]

[***]

[**]

Hey, seester...

You okay?

Uh, yeah.
I'm great.

I have an idea how
to get you down,

but I need you
to act like a...

- Dinosaur?
- ...dinosaur.

Remember how I told you I saw
the Deinosuchus under water?

Yeah.

Just like crocodiles today,

it spends some of its time
in the water

and some of it on the ground.

And guess how it moved
on the ground.

- Like a crocodile?
- Exactly.

So why don't you turn around
and crocodile-walk back to me?

Or I could just live up here...
[gasp] ...forever.

Seeeeester...

Great!

Now crocodile-walk.

Would it help if I made
crocodile noise...

No.

Thank you.

Your loss.

I do a great croc call!

Croc!
Croc!

It's all in the throat.

[***]

You did it!

Not really.
I didn't jump.

You coming?

I'll meet you
down at the bottom.

Cannonballlll!

[***]

Spinosaurus!

[***]

[squeak]

There's a Spinosaurus?

Is that your mom down there?

I think she's looking for you.

[squeaking]

Are you afraid of the water?

It's okay.

Paleontologists think that,
just like the Deinosuchus,

you spent a lot of your life
in the water, too.

Maybe that's why your
snouts look the same.

[squeaking]

[gasp]

[***]

[**]

Good job, baby Spino.

Sara, you wont' believe it!

Sara?

Sara?

[***]

[**]

[***]

Dana!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

- I'm never gonna pass.
- That's not true.

You just have to get over
your fear of heights.

Easy for you to say.

You're not afraid of anything.

That's not true.

I used to be afraid
of dinosaurs.

What?
I didn't know that.

Yeah, when I first
heard about them,

I thought they were big,
and scary, and mean looking,

especially the T-Rex.

[roar]

But when I started
learning about them,

I realized they were
super-interesting,

mostly because they
survived on being

big, and mean,
and scary looking.

Well, I don't think
learning about heights

is going to help me
get over my fear.

No, but when I get scared now,
I pretend I'm a dinosaur.

It works every time.

Is that why you roar
sometimes at night?

I'm a little bit
scared of the dark.

C'mon.

Dino diving school
is about to begin.

Thanks, Dana.

What are little seesters for?

[***]

So what's our first lesson?

Lesson number one--
the Deinosuchus.

The Deinosuchus
got into the water

just like crocodiles today--

by crawling in.

It helps if you
make their noises.

Croc!
Croc!

- Croc!
- Croc! Croc!

Now go!

Croc!

[giggle]

Woohoo!

[giggle]
Weeeeeee!

Woohoo!

[laugh]

Woohoo!

[***]

I did it!
And it was only kind of scary.

- Good job.
- What's our next lesson?

[***]

[**]

Lesson number two--
the Spinosaurus.

[hissing and growling]

[hissing and growling]

Spinosaurus got into the water
by walking on its massive legs.

I... didn't know that.
Tell me more.

Quit stalling.

It's Spinosaurus time.

Now walk into that water,
Spinosaurus,

and remember to roar!

[***]

Roar!

I did it!

- That was great.
- What's the next lesson?

Uh oh.

[***]

Unfortunately, there's no
dinosaur that would've

dived into the water
this high up...

Uh, that's okay, Dana.

Let's go back.

BUT there were pre-historic
winged reptiles that would.

[screeching]

[***]

The Pterodactylus
would dive into the water

looking for yummy fish to eat.

I can't do this.

You can't...
but Pterodactylus can.

Happy fish hunting!

[***]

Squawk!

[***]

[**]

Squaaaawwwwwk!

[***]

[**]

You did it!

WE did it.

Squawk!

Nice jump, Sara.

The squawk was a bit weird,
but other than that, great job.

You passed your level one.

[sisters]
Yes!

[***]

[dinos screeching and roaring]

[Dana]
Next up, more Dino Dana.

[Dana]

[Dana] "A Game of Microraptor
and Mouse."

[***]

[Dana]
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!

The microraptor sees the bait.

The microraptor is a really
fascinating dinosaur,

mostly because it's the first
dinosaur ever discovered

to have four wings.

Two on its arms
and two on its legs.

They called it
microraptor

because it's tiny

but it's also
a super skilled predator.

Hopefully it will use
one of those skills on my bait.

[chirping]

Come and get it,
Microraptor.

I'm so tasty.

Come and eat me.

He spreaded his wings.

Looks like
he's about to take off!

Come and get it,
Microraptor.

[squawks]

He's gliding!

Squeak, squeak.
Squeak, squeak.

Dana,
it's freezing in here.

Sorry, microraptor.

What was that?

Sar, the microraptor
was just about to get in here

and help me solve
dino experiment 504,

how did the microraptor
hunt its food.

Oh, that explains
where my sock went.

Yes...

The microraptor was one
of the smallest dinosaurs

ever found.

It only weighed
as much as a pigeon.

What does that
have to do with my sock?

I'm trying to see how it hunted
so I made an Eomaia.

Plus, it already
had a hole in it

and it smells really bad.

No, it does not.

Oh...

okay, you can keep it.

So, about this Eo...

Maia.

It's smaller
than a pigeon,

which would make it
the smallest dinosaur.

Ha!
It's not a dinosaur.

It's a prehistoric mammal.

Mammals lived
with dinosaurs?

Oh yeah.
Lots of them.

You can tell it's
a mammal because it has fur

and it didn't
lay eggs like dinos.

Instead, it gave birth
to live babies.

See?

Gross.

[Dana]
One. Two.

Three.

How many of my
socks did you use?

A lot?

These two are my
favorite ones.

Oh, kind of looks
like a mouse.

[Dana] You know what else
looks like a mouse?

A mouse!

What?

Ooh, she's getting
closer to you.

- What?
- I think she likes you.

- Ew, ew, ew.
- Who are you texting?

Mom will be home soon,

so I'm asking her
to buy a mouse trap.

A mouse trap? No!
Run, mouse, run!

Sara, we can't use a mouse trap
on that poor, little mammal.

She could be
the great, great, great,

great, great, great,
great, great, great,

great, times a million
granddaughter of the Eomaia.

I don't care-a!

Dana, we can't have a mouse
living in the apartment.

It's gross, and it'll leave
droppings everywhere.

And mom thinks I'm right.

What if I get her outside?

Please, seester,
just give me a chance?

[sigh] Fine, you have until Mom
gets home with the mouse trap.

Deal!

Think, Dana, think.
How do you catch a mouse?

How is that trap
going to work.

Mice are omnivores which means
they eat pretty much anything,

so I used cheese, veggies,
and meat for bait.

Once the mouse takes the bait,
the bucket will fall down,

trap her,
and I'll take her outside.

Better hurry up.
Mom will be home soon.

There's the mouse!

Whoa, where?

[giggles]
Kidding.

But you should have
seen your face.

Very funny, Dana.

Hmm...

Looking at all this bait
is making me kind of hungry.

[***]

Mouse!

Okay, mouse.
Calm down.

I'm going to get you outside
where you belong.

Mouse?

But if you're
over there...

who's in here?

[squawks]

Microraptor?

Oh no.

[chirps]

The microraptor thinks the mouse
is a prehistoric mammal.

Run, mouse!

[chirps]

[squawking]

How'd he get in here?

[chirping]

[squawking]

[distant squawking
and crashing]

[sighs]

[squawking]

[distant crashes]

Where'd they go?

- Dana, what did you do?
- It wasn't me.

The microraptor got in
through an open window.

It's after the mouse.

[Mom]
Girls, I'm home!

Oh, guys,
what happened here?

You should see the kitchen.

Sar!
Saving lives is messy.

Mom, I've been trying
to get the mouse outside

and back to its family.

Oh, that's sweet, nugget.

Now, let mom
take care of it.

But mom!

We can't have mice
in the apartment,

and clean up this
mess, please.

Poor mouse.

I'll help you
tidy up, Dana.

You know, it probably
has a nice seeester mouse

who loves it a lot
and is out there looking for it.

I have an idea.

Once mom's out of the kitchen,
I'll stay here cleaning up

while you keep trying
to save the mouse.

- Really?
- Traps out.

I'll go get changed
and then I'll make dinner.

Go, now's your chance.

- Thanks, seester.
- You're welcome, seester.

Oh, mice are still
so gross.

Where are you?
Where are you?

[squawks]

There you are,
microraptor.

[chirps]

[squawks]

No, no, no.
You don't want that.

It's a trap.
You'll get hurt.

Um...

[chirping]

[***]

[squawk]

[squawk]

[***]

[squawking]

That was close.

Still no mouse,

but I think I just solved
my dino experiment

on how you catch your food.

Maybe I can use that
to catch the mouse.

Do you want some
beef jerky for helping?

[chirping]

Then go get it!

[chirps]

[chirping]

[crunching]

[chirping]

Chirp! Bye!

Now I get to be
the microraptor.

[***]

[***]

[***]

[***]

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

Dana, what are you doing?

I solved
dino experiment 504,

how did the microraptor
hunt its food,

so now I'm hunting the mouse
just like the microraptor would.

So, uh, why are you
up on the chair?

The microraptor
would hide up high

so it's food
wouldn't see it.

Then it would use its wings,
glide down and catch it.

Just...

like...

this.

Ew...

[yells]

You got it.

- Nice work, microraptor.
- Thanks.

Let's get this mouse
back outside.

Uh, Sar,
do you wanna help?

- Uh, yeah, no.
- Okay then.

So, first thing we got to do
is slide that over.

Okay, and now we got to
get a piece of paper

and put it underneath, okay?

Nope, nope...
