Secret of Dinosaurs Full Episode
The real Jurassic Americas
ALAN: When you go out looking at rocks that are millions of years old, you never know what you're going to find. As we came through a little clearing, I spotted a rough looking bone. Yep, this is the spot right here. Where it all began. KATJA: One bone after the next revealed itself. This was the Holy Grail. ALAN: Finding a dinosaur bone tells us only part of the story. There's so much more to these amazing creatures than just their skeletons, which leaves the movies with a lot of artistic license. KENNETH: The colors are made up, a lot of the behavior is made up. KATJA: But now, remarkable new fossil finds are opening a window on the prehistoric world as never before. AJA: Technology is allowing us to answer questions that were previously unanswerable. We get to make dinosaurs move again for the first time in millions of years. And we can figure out their color. And even how they lived. ALAN: Can recent discoveries force us to put aside the movie magic and finally see dinosaurs as they truly were when they ruled the Americas? MATTHEW: I think that we're closer to uncovering the truth of the age of dinosaurs than we've ever been. AJA: Fact is stranger than fiction. (thud) (whip) KENNETH: My first exposure to the dinosaurs was probably The Flintstones. (laughs). Which is not a very accurate portrayal of dinosaurs. You know, like all kids, I was sort of immersed in this dinosaur culture. I've always been fascinated by the biggest, the smallest, the highest flying, the lowest diving. That's where you really start to learn the limits of evolution. I wanted to find creatures that were among the largest to ever walk the face of the earth. Usually the largest dinosaurs are also among the worst preserved because it's so hard for a creature that size, the size of a house, to become a fossil. There is a group of plant eating dinosaurs called that we know relatively little about. So I was very attracted to finding one of those. 'How do you find a dinosaur?' It's the number one question I get asked.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.
