[boy]
Henry, go get the ball!

What're you doing?

Digging for fossils,

and I just found something.

Little help,
please?

Oh, yeah.

This thing's a fossil?

Yep.

It's something that lived
in the prehistoric times

and turned to stone.

Once we get it
out of the sand,



next up is to figure out
what creature it belongs to.

Henry, what're you doing?

We just found a fossil!

But we're playing
volleyball!

Sorry.
Boys only.

They used to say that
to Mary Anning,

and I don't
wanna play anyways.

Who's Mary Anning?

She's only one of the greatest
fossil finders ever.

This is her.

She lived in England
200 years ago.

She was the first to
discover the plesiosaur...

This guy.

Have you ever discovered
a prehistoric marine reptile?

No.

Exactly.

Sounds like you should
play with her.

I wish I could.

I bet she could help me figure
out who this fossil belongs to.

C'mon, Henry!

Good luck with the fossil.

[***]

[**]

It would be nice to have
some help with this.

'Kay...

[woman]
You're doing it all wrong.

What you want to do is
uncover the specimen fully

before removing it
from the sand.

Otherwise you
risk damaging it.

You're... You're...
You're...

Mary Anning.

Pleased to make
your acquaintance.

What's your name?

Da...

...na?

Well, "Day-Nah,"

shall we uncover
the specimen?

Yes!

* [music with prominent

* [music with prominent
harpsichord] *

Jolly good!
Now lift it out.

Heave ho!

[both grunt with effort]

Spots and stripes!

It's so cool.

It feels rather warm to me.

No, "cool" is another way
to say "sweet."

It means "wicked."

It's a way to say
"wonderful."

Definitely wonderful.

Now, which
prehistoric creature

do you think it
belongs to?

Think, Dana, think...

Ponder, Mary, ponder...

[giggle]

It kind of looks like
a sail...

Like what's on
a Spinosaurus' back.

[snarling and hissing]

OR it could be a flipper
that belongs to a plesiosaur.

[bellow]

Really?

[plesiosaur calling out]

That's the reptile
you discovered.

Well done.

First of many.

But if it's a flipper,

it could also belong
to the Archelon.

[growling and snorting]

[growling and snorting]

An enormous
prehistoric turtle...

Interesting theory.

[both] There's only
one way to...

...ascertain to whom
this fossil belongs.

Spinosaurus?

Oh, yes please.

[Mary whispering] Test Subject
Number One discovered...

[Dana]
A sleeping Spinosaurus? Perfect.

[loud snoring]

[both gag]

[snoring]

[Mary]
We must be quiet as mice

to make sure we don't
awaken this beat.

[Dana]
Definitely.

But how are we going to compare
this fossil to its sail?

I shall lift you up.

[gasp]
steady!

This is a tad bit harder
than I expected.

[Dana]
Okay, and...

[grunting with effort]

It's not a match.

This fossil is too small.

You can put me down now.

Oops!

[growl]

Oh, porridge.

Ruuuun!

[***]

[both screaming]

[both screaming]

Quick, hide!

[dinosaur sniffing]

[growl]

[gasp]
What excitement!

I know!

But we still have to figure out
who this fossil belongs to.

Hm....

If it's not a sail...

it must be a flipper!

Maybe it belongs
to the plesiosaur.

[plesiosaur calls out]

[Dana] Test Subject Number
Two Discovered.

But we'll have to venture into
the water to know for sure.

Shall we?

Aren't you going to
put on a bathing suit?

This is my bathing suit,
silly--

minus the over-
dress and bonnet.

What do you wear?

[gasp]
This is my bathing suit.

But your shoulders
are exposed!

I'll go get something
to help us float on.

Hey, Dana,
what're you up to?

I just met Mary Anning
from the 1800's.

We're trying to figure out
who a fossil belongs to.

Great. Have a good time.
Just stay where I can see you.

Ugh, sorry... sir.

Hey, did you find who
your fossil belongs to?

[Dana] Not yet,
but my friend is helping.

It's too small to
belong to a Spinosaurus,

but it may have been a flipper
that belonged to a plesiosaur.

Hey, that's the one
you showed us before.

Need any help?

Sorry.

Girls only.

What is the matter?

Boys.

You're telling me!

In my time, boys thought
they were the only ones

who could know anything
about fossils.

But they came around,
and they saw what I found.

Some boys just need more time
to realize girls' abilities.

In the meantime,
we do what we want.

[roar]

Let's get in the water before
the plesiosaur gets away.

[***]

[Dana]
Here she comes...

[Mary]
Let's compare the two.

It's not a match.
The fossil is bigger.

[Mary] And the plesiosaur
does not look happy.

I don't think it wants us
playing with its flippers.

Let us make haste.

[plesiosaur growls]

[Mary]
Oh no!

[Dana] We can't
paddle away fast enough!

[Mary]
He'll soon be upon us!

What's going on?
What's that?

[water bubbling]

Whoa!
It's the Archelon!

Whoa!

[Mary] And look!
The plesiosaur is retreating!

Whoa, we're really high up.

Whoa, it's amazing.

[both giggle]

Whoa.

Oh my!

Okay...

Okay...

[grunting]

[Mary]
Be careful!

Thanks for saving us,
Archelon.

[grunting and snorting]

[gasp]
Mary, look at its flipper!

Could it be?

[Dana]
Spots and stripes!

[Mary]
So cool.

It's a match.

This fossil is
an Archelon flipper!

[both]
Bye, Archelon!

It was a delight to be in
the field with you today, Dana.

I hope we have the opportunity
to work together again.

So do I.

[Mary]
Goodbye!

[***]

[**]

Hey, our volleyball
popped on something.

We dug around and we think
we found a fossil.

Come help us
figure out what it is.

So, you've realized
my abilities...

Yes.
Good.

You, get the skipping ropes...

You two, grab the shovels.

We're gonna need to
set up a dig site!

[***]

[Dana]
Next up, more Dino Dana!

[***]

[Dana]
Dino Dana!

[theme music,
various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music,

[theme music,

[theme music,

[theme music,
various dinosaurs roaring]

Dino Dana!

[roar]

[Dana]
"Dino Rescue Train."

[whistle]

[Dana] This is so exciting!
Aren't you excited, Sara?

We get to ride
a miniature train!

Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga!
Fun times!

Sure.

Just sure?
You used to love trains.

Yeah, when I was
like six.

[whistle]

[***]

[**]

[whistle]

I have an idea how to
make this train ride

more exciting for you.

Does it involve
dinosaurs?

How'd you know?

Just a lucky guess.

What's your idea, Dana?

[Dana]
Well, sometimes when I'm bored,

I imagine I'm doing
something else.

So, instead of just
riding on a train...

We could be on
a dino rescue train,

searching for dinosaurs!

Or...

we could be rescuing
cute baby dinos!

Even better!
Great imagining, seester.

[Sara]
How should we start?

[Dana]
Rescue Mission Number one:

Rescuer Sara and Rescuer Dana

are trying to save a baby...

Triceratops!

Aw, great choice.

From a hungry...

T-rex.

You're good at this.

...on board their
dino rescue train.

Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga,
rescuuuue!

[laugh]

Baby triceratops spotted.

[squeak]

[roar]

The baby's not fast enough
to outrun a T-Rex.

You're right-- A T-Rex
could run as fast as a bike.

She'll easily catch up
to a baby triceratops.

What're we going to do?

All aboard.

Conductor,
bring us beside the baby!

We need to get him
on this train!

[roar]

...And fast.

Baby triceratops,
hop on board!

[frightened squeaking]

He's not listening,
Rescuer Dana.

Try using some
food as bait.

[Sara]
Veggies, meat, or fish?

Triceratops
are herbivores.

Which means
they eat plants.

Lettuce it is.

Hey, baby triceratops!

Want some tasty lettuce?

[squeak]

It's not working,
Rescuer Dana.

That doesn't
make any sense.

[sigh] If we can't
get the baby on board,

maybe we can lure
the T-Rex away.

Smart thinking, Rescuer Sara.
T-Rex are carnivores.

Which means they eat meat.

Beef jerky it is.

Hey, T-Rex!

Want some yummy beef jerky?

Look, he wants it!

He wants it!

[growl]

Seems like the T-Rex
is as fast as this

miniature train, too.

Conductor,
full speed ahead!

[whistle]

The baby triceratops is safe.

Throw the meat lure.

Hey, T-Rex!
You want this?

[growl]

Then go get it!

[Dana]
It worked! Good job.

Triceratops high-three.
[roar]

[***]

[whistle]

Ah...
That was fun.

Where're you going?

We saved the baby
triceratops.

Our first Rescue Mission
is complete.

But we didn't figure out

why the baby didn't
take the veggie bait.

Are you saying you wanna

take another ride
on the train?

Well...

I guess I could go
for one more ride.

You sure?
We don't have to.

[sigh]

Hop on, Dana.
We're not done rescuing yet.

Rescue Mission Number two:

Rescuer Sara and Rescuer Dana
are on a mission to figure out

why the baby triceratops didn't
take the veggie bait.

Chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga...

[Dana]
Woot woot!

[frightened squeak]

Baby triceratops
and T-Rex spotted.

Full stop,
conductor!

[brakes squeal]

What's the plan, Dana?

First, let's lure the T-Rex away

so we can figure out why the
baby didn't take the lettuce.

Meat lure coming up!

Hey T-Rex, want some more
yummy beef jerky?

[snarl]

[sniff]

[Dana]
It's working!

Hey, baby triceratops!

Now's your chance to run!

[triceratops squeaks,
T-rex growls]

Why is the baby triceratops
running after the T-Rex?

Good question.

I have never seen
anything like this before.

Maybe the baby isn't
running after the T-Rex.

Maybe he's running towards
the beef jerky!

But I thought you said
triceratops were herbivores.

They are...
Or they're supposed to be.

Then why would it want
the beef jerky?

We'll have to
perform a taste test.

But first we've gotta
deal with the T-Rex.

Hey, T-Rex!
Ya hungry?

Then go...

get it!

Hey, baby triceratops.

Do you like beef jerky too?

[squeak]

Then here you go!

[delighted chittering]

Whoa!
He's eating meat.

Taste test complete.

The triceratops didn't
take the veggie bait

because he likes
to eat beef jerky.

Nice work, Rescuer Sara.
Triceratops high three.

[imitates dino roar]

[whistle]

Not so fast, Dana.

What do you mean?

We figured out
the baby triceratops

likes meat more
than veggies,

so our second Rescue
Mission is complete.

But we didn't figure out why
the baby ate the beef jerky

when it's supposed
to be a herbivore.

We need to take
another ride.

Looks like someone
likes trains again.

Uh, I-- I didn't say that.

But you are saying you
wanna go for another ride.

Well...
I do if you do.

Ehh....

I do!

Rescue Mission Number Three:

Rescuer Sara and Rescuer Dana
are on a mission to figure out

why the baby triceratops
ate meat

when it's supposed
to be a herbivore.

[both]
Chugga, chugga...

Woot woo!

[triceratops snorting]

Baby triceratops spotted!

Full stop,
conductor!

And looks like his mom's
here with him, too.

[mother grunts,
baby squeaks]

Let's taste test
if the mom triceratops

eats meat or veggies.

That way we'll know for sure

if they're herbivores
or carnivores.

Whoooo's hungryyyy?!

[mother snorts,
baby squeaks]

[growling]

[mother sniffs food,
baby squeaks]

Huh?

That doesn't
make any sense.

Why does the baby eat meat,
but the mom doesn't?

Maybe it's like
me and the trains.

Are you saying the baby
gets bored of meat?

No...

I'm saying there's some things
you like when you're younger

that you don't really like
when you get older.

That's it!

Sometimes baby animals
eat different things

so they can grow
faster and stronger,

so that way they can get away
from big dinos like the...

[roar]

[Sara]
T-Rex!!

Quick, Sara,
throw some more beef jerky!

Bad news.
We're out of beef jerky.

Conductor,
full steam ahead!

[whistle]

[growling and snarling]

[growling and snarling]

[T-rex roars,
baby triceratops squeaks]

[snarling and growling]

[whistle]

We did it!
We got away.

And we figured out
the triceratops are herbivores,

except when they're babies.

All our Dino Rescue
Missions are complete.

Triceratops high-three!

[imitates roar]

[giggle]
That was actually pretty fun.

I guess some things you thought
you didn't like anymore,

you actually do.

Nah.
I still don't love trains...

But I've always loved

hanging out with
my little seester.
