Officer!

I need your help.

What happened?
Are you okay?

I've been terrorized.



-What?
-My experiment failed.

Or succeeded too well.

Experiment?

They stole it.

Did someone take
something from you?

Yes, a Terror Bird.

Someone stole
your Terror Bird?

No, Terror Birds stole
the unicorn and my backpack.

Hurry, we don't have
a lot of time!

Whoa, what happened here?

-Titanis.
-Say again?

Titanis.

It's the largest
of the Terror Birds.

They're giant birds
that came after the dinosaurs.



I'd show you
in my field guide

but that's
gone now too.

Okay, listen.

Why don't you start
from the beginning?

I was performing
dino experiment 716.

I was using my-

Wait, you perform
dino experiments?

All the time.

Best way to learn
about dinosaurs

and other
prehistoric creatures.

What's your name?

Dana.

Continue your story, Dana.

Like I said.

I was performing
dino experiment 716,

how did Terror Birds hunt.

I was using my unicorn
because scientists think

that Terror Birds
used to hunt horses

but I don't have
a stuffed horse.

Hold on, so, there were birds
that used to eat horses?

Yes.

Terror Birds like Titanis
are taller than you

and weighed as much
as an ostrich.

Woof, they sound scary.

I know, which is why
I was so frustrating

that I couldn't
get one to show up.

So I attached the straps
of my backpack to my unicorn

so I can make it look more
alive from a safe distance.

Neigh!

The Titanis
came out of nowhere.

[squawks]

[laughs]

They call them Terror Birds
because they have massive beaks

and powerful claws
on their feet.

Scientists think their beaks
were strong enough

to snap a bone in half.

[squawks]

Now, I know what
you're thinking.

Dino Experiment
716 solved.

Well...

Except I only saw how it used
its massive beak to attack.

I still had to see if it
used its powerful claws.

True.

Unfortunately, my back pack
was still attached to Titanis.

[screaming]

I tried to hold on for
as long as I could

but eventually
the strap ripped off

and Titanis ran away

which is when I decided
to go find help.

Sounds like you have had
a rough morning.

Science isn't meant
to be easy.

You think you can help me
get my backpack back

and finish
my dino experiment?

We're here to serve.

Now, do you know which direction
the Terror Bird went in?

It was a bit of a blur

because I was being dragged
across the grass

so my face was
mostly in the dirt.

Okay, we're going to have
to search for clues

as to which
direction it went in.

Clues like footprints.

Except you can't
see footprints in grass.

Well, it's not just
footprints that can show you

which direction
someone went in.

What happens when
you run through trees

and branches in the woods?

They snap off or break.

Exactly.

Which means
she went that way.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Another snapped branch.

And another.

I think we're closing in.

So, tell me, Dana.

Why do you like
dinosaurs so much?

There's so many reasons.

But I think it's
mostly because

we haven't discovered
everything yet.

Snapped stick.

Every year, more and more
dinosaurs are found

or our ideas
about them change.

My dream is to one day discover
a brand-new dinosaur

and get to name it.

-Wouldn't that be amazing?
-You sound like my sons.

-[radio] Officer Henderson.
-[distant squawk]

-Did you hear that?
-That's just my walkie.

Just give me a second.

[radio]
Come in Officer Henderson.

Go for Officer Henderson.

My backpack!

Now's my chance.

[gasps]

[squawks]

Claws off, Titanis!

[squawks]

[grunting efforts]

[squawks]

Dino Experiment
716 update.

Titanis also used
its huge powerful claws

to rip open it's prey.

And my backpack.

[sighs]

[Officer]
Dana?

Over here.

What happened?

Major discovery.

Titanis didn't just
use its beak to hunt.

It also used
it's four sharp claws.

Where did you get this?

My dino field guide?

My friends Dan and Trek
gave it to me.

You know Dan and Trek?

We're fellow scientists.

They're my sons.

I made this for them when
they were missing their dad.

You're Dan and Trek's mom?

You helped them solve
so many dino experiments.

Now you're helping me.

This is the best day ever.

Oh, well don't we still have
a dino experiment to finish?

You're right.
Back to science.

We know Titanis used
its beak and claws to hunt

but did it use
anything else?

Also, we need to
get my backpack back

or else my dad
will be really upset.

He made it for me.

Well, when police
need help on a case

they usually
call for backup.

Good idea.

Do you have a paleontologist
in the police department?

No, but I do know
a dino expert.

Hey mom, what's up?

Hey Hun, I met someone
I think you might know.

Dan!

I didn't know your mom made
the dino field guide.

She did.
But I chose the stickers.

Good choices.

Dan, we need your help.

We're tracking
the Titanis.

-Terror Bird.
-Exactly.

We're trying to solve
how it hunted

but it's too fast for us
to keep up with it.

Whenever I couldn't
keep up with a dinosaur

I'd think of a way
to slow it down.

But the only thing that
it slows down for is food.

Do you have
any beef jerky?

Not anymore.

It as all in my backpack,
which it stole.

Well, I do.

The boys were always
asking for it

so it kind of became
my go to snack.

[Dan]
Nice one, Mom.

Good luck finishing the rest
of your experiment, Dana.

Thanks Dan. Come on.

I've got a plan.

716 is complete.

Titanis didn't just use

You're welcome, Dana.

And thank you so much for
making the dino field guide.

I've had so many amazing
adventures because of it.

Well, I'm so glad
it ended up with you.

Now how about
I drive you home?

I get to ride

Yes, mom?

I mean, yes mom?

What are you doing?

I'm conducting
Dino Experiment 703,

why do Corythosaurus honk?

I mean what are you
supposed to be doing?

Putting away
the groceries?

Exactly.

Thank you.

Do you want to guess what
the Corythosaurus name means?

-Uh...
-Helmet lizard!

Sorry, I got too excited.

Do you want to guess why
they're called helmet lizard?

Uh, because they look like

they're wearing a helmet
on their head?

Ding, ding, ding.
Good guess, mom.

Did you want to guess
what the helmet does?

I'll give you a hint.

Let me guess.
Honks.

Exactly.

Corythosaurus are
herbivores

who had these big crests

on top of their head
that paleontologists think

could make huge noises

but the question is
why do they honk?

Well, good luck
figuring that out

after you finish
putting these away.

Ugh. I don't see
the salad stuff here.

I must have left
it in the minivan.

Don't worry, mom.
I'll get it.

Thanks, nugget.

I think Dexter's ready
for his nap.

Maybe I'll take
one with him.

[grumbling]

Whoa, Corythosaurus.

What are you doing?

[honks]

Incredible.

Paleontologists
were right.

You can make huge noises.

[honks]

But why are you
making huge noises?

[honks]

Did you use your honk to call
another Corythosaurus over?

[both honking]

You did. But why?

Just a second, mom!

Think, Dana, think.

What's so interesting to

Now I've learned
that Corythosaurus honk

when they find food
and honk to warn each other

when danger is around.

So, your dino
experiment's complete.

Unless you can think
of another reason

that animals would
make loud noises.

I guess the only other
reason I can think of

is when animals try
to prove to each other

who's strongest
so they can be the leader?

Really?

Or, it's just
the other two.

By the way, did you bring
the salad stuff in from the van?

I forgot.

Science got in the way
but I'll go do it right now.

Thanks.

Just try and be quiet
while you do it.

You're also proving very good

I have to get you
two to quiet down.

Think, Dana, think.

Mom said animals
make loud noises

to prove who's
the strongest

so they can be the leader.

You must both want
to be the leader

so the only way
to quiet you down

is to figure out
who the leader is.

Unfortunately for both of you,
I like to lead.

Honk!

Honk!

I did it!
