The First Elephant
And two giant tusks.
There you are, Dana.
Come on, the museum's
closing soon, let's go.
Almost done.
Elephant?
Close.
Its scientific name
was Elephas Primigenius
which is Latin
for first elephant.
Need another hint?
Yes.
Maybe one that's
not in Latin?
These prehistoric animals
only became extinct
4000 years ago.
That means
they lived around people.
In fact,
cave people used to
draw pictures of them.
See?
Those drawings
are thousands of years old?
Isn't it amazing?
Wait, I think
I remember this one.
Isn't it
the Woolly Mammoth?
Did you just
read the sign?
Yes.
Let's go.
Just think, Saara.
Thousands of years ago,
cave kids used to draw
the Woolly Mammoth
just like I am now.

I bet that they
had cave sisters
that wouldn't let them
finish their work either.
But why do you like
to draw everything?
Because every fossil
has a story
and it's up to us
to uncover it.
Look at that tusk, Saara.
That once belonged
to a real,
living,
breathing animal.
What story does it
want to tell us?
Maybe how it fell off?
Exactly.
Did it rip off
during a fight?
Or snap off while
digging for food?
These drawings help me imagine
what might have happened.
I think I know exactly
what happened.
My two daughters
weren't waiting
where they said
they would be.
Now, come on.
Museum's about to close.
Dad, just a minute.
We're using
Dana's drawings
to imagine this
fossils story.
Oh, that's cute.
Now, let's go.
Wait, Dana.
If your drawings
help you imagine
what happened
to that fossil,
maybe other people's drawings
could help you too?
The cave drawings.
Great idea, Saara.
Dad, look at these
cave pictures.
Notice anything?
Is that a Woolly Mammoth?
Yes. What else?
Is that a person?
Not just a person.
A prehistoric person.
Cave people didn't just
draw the Woolly Mammoth.
They also drew themselves
hunting the Woolly Mammoth.
Drawings was one
of the first ways
people used to remember
their stories.
Wait.
Are those spears?
Uh huh.
Wooden spears.
Just imagine.
Thousands of years ago,
pre-historic cave people
would have hunted that.
How hard could it be?

Okay, maybe it
wouldn't be that easy.
So, the tusk didn't snap off
because of the cave people?
Doesn't look like it.
Woolly Mammoths
were tough.
They were bigger
than today's elephants
and their tusks were
larger and more curved.
Looks like
this fossil wants
to keep it's story
a mystery.
Wait.
You said cave people
used drawings
to tell their
stories, right?
Right.
Well, did they tell
any other stories?
Let's see.
Wait, what's that?
An awesome and fearsome
prehistoric carnivore.
And its fossil
is right behind you.
Whoa.
Smilodon.
[Dana]
Also known as sabretooth cat.
Wait.
A cat could take down
a Woolly Mammoth?
Not just any cat.
A giant cat with teeth
the size of your head.
Scientists think
the Smilodon
may have stayed up in trees,
waiting for the right moment
to pounce down on it's prey.
That's one mean kitty.
Maybe he knocked off
this Wooly's tusk.
Interesting theory, Dad.

Why do you
look sad, nugget?
Nothing.
It's just I like hanging out
with you and Saara at the museum
and now I know it's
time to leave.
I'll be okay.
Thank you for sharing
your story, Woolly.
[Saara]
Hey, Dana.
What do you think
of this drawing?
[Saara] It's a drawing
of us at the museum.
Exactly.
Just like the cave people
used their drawings
to remember
their stories,
you can use this
drawing to remember
the story of today.
Thanks, Seester.
No problem, Seester.
Why do I have such
a weirdly shaped head?
Because that's what
your head looks like.
Does not.
Does it?

[Dana]
What are you doing, Troodon?
[squawks]
Dana, I thought you
were going to help me?
I thought Saara
was helping.
I am.
Listen, girls.
You said you would shovel
and I still have to make lunch
and finish the laundry
before I drop you off at dance
and you off at your club.
Fossil Identification
Club is today?
This week we're talking
about Coprolites.
That's fossilized
dino droppings.
Well, I was
getting hungry.
Mom, why don't you head
inside and make us lunch
while we
finish up out here.
Thank you, Saara.
Okay, Dana,
you finish up.
What?
Robin is dealing with some
pretty serious stuff right now.
You wouldn't understand.
She unfollowed you?
[chirping]
What was it
doing in there?
Better go investigate.
Hmm, it's like
some kind of cave.
A Troodon baby.
Oops, sorry.
Did I wake you?
[coos]
Was that your mom?
[squawks]
Sounds like she's
coming back.
Wait, she might not like
that I'm here with you.
Think,
Dana, think.
[♪♪♪]
[squawking]
[both squawk]
Hi, Mama Troodon.
Squawk.
It's just us,
your two babies in here.
Squawk!
[squawks]
Did you dig this?
I guess you did but why?
[Mom]
Dana, Saara.
I better go.
[squawking]
Or maybe not.
Why are you not
letting me leave?
Are you listening
for something?
[squawking]
Now's my chance.
Bye, baby.
[coos]
Mom, you won't believe it.
You and Saara didn't do
what you said you would do?
I do believe it because
that's what happened.
No, well yes but...
Why don't you tell me
while you shovel.
Good idea.
I found a Troodon baby
and its mom
living in a snow cave
under our tree fort.
When I tried to leave
to finish shoveling
the mom wouldn't
let me go.
Why would she do that?
Well, that's a new excuse.
It's not.
I'm very disappointed
in you too, Dana.
You should talk.
Mom!
Keep shoveling.
Did it look
like this, Dana?
What's that?
It's a penguin burrow.
Some birds build burrows
to lay eggs
and raise their babies in.
That doesn't explain
why the mom Troodon
wouldn't let me leave.
Maybe she thought there
was a predator around
and wanted to keep
you safe inside.
Interesting theory.
You two finish up here.
Lunch will be ready soon.
No more excuses.
Okay, Dana.
You finish up.
I'll supervise you.
Oh, hey, Robin. Sorry.
She took away my phone.
[baby squawking]
The baby Troodon's
outside it's burrow?
What if there's
a predator around?
I better get the baby
back inside.
[♪♪♪]
Come on.
In you go.
[roars]
Oh no, that Nanuqsaurus.
Mom's theory was right.
Quick, get inside, baby.
[squawks]
[squawks]
The Nanuqsaurus
is a carnivore
that would love a little
teensy snack like you.
[squawks]
[♪♪♪]
[roars]
[growls]
[growls]
[growls]
[roars]
[sighs]
That was close.
[screeches]
Oh no.
It's coming back!
[mom]
Dana, are you in there?
No.
[mom]
Really?
Yes.
Mom, your theory
was right.
Which one?
The one where I thought
it could trust you
and your sister to
finish the driveway?
Okay, you were
wrong about that one
but you were right about
the Troodon burrow.
It is for staying safe.
Me and a baby Troodon just hid
from a Nanuqsaurus inside.
[sighs]
That's great.
Lunch is ready.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
That was great.
Thanks, Mom.
You're done?
I'm done too.
I'll clean this up.
And then I'll go
finish the driveway.
Oh, mom,
we'll do the driveway.
Yeah,
we said we would.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Thanks again for lunch.
[dinosaur screech]
Oh, no.
The Nanuqsaurus is back.
Dana, why don't you
go investigate?
Good idea.
Thanks, Mom.
[growls]
Baby! Get inside!
[squawks]
Oh no,
the Nanuqsaurus found
the entrance of the burrow.
[chirping]
Mama Troodon,
you baby's in trouble.
[squawks]
Where are you going?
Oh, you're digging
your baby out.
Good idea. I'll help.
[squawks]
Come on, baby!
[roars]
[growls]
Oh no, your burrow.
But at least
your baby is safe.
Baby Troodon, you should
really thank your mom.
She built a burrow
for you and protected you
from a predator.
[chirps]
Mom's are great.
Let me help you rebuild
your burrow, Mama Troodon.
[squawks]
And I know just where
to get the snow from.
I felt bad.
Me too.
Let's see who can
shovel the fastest?
You're on.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Saara, Dana,
we have to get going.
Did you two do all this?
Well, mostly me.
But Dana helped too.
Aw, thanks, girls.
Let's get going.
Did you pack
my new leotard?
And my portable
microscopes.
I'm sure what you
meant to say is,
"thanks, Mom,
for packing all my stuff."
[both]
Thanks, Mom.
But seriously, did you?
No.
Let's go get them.
I'll meet you guys inside.
