[ALL LAUGHING] >> THEY NEVER WAKE UP LIKE THAT AT HOME.

>> GOOD MORNING, MR.

CONDUCTOR.

>> OH, GOOD MORNING, KIDS.

>> WHAT ARE WE SEEING ON OUR WORLD TOUR TODAY?

>> LET'S SEE.

>> WE'RE HEADING ONTO A DIFFERENT CONTINENT.

>> GILBERT!

>> THERE'S A LOT OF COOL STUFF TO SEE.

LET ME SHOW YOU.

ON THIS CONTINENT, THERE WERE, OF COURSE, THE UNIQUE DINOSAURS LIKE ARCHAEOPTERYX, AND THERE IS THE LARGE, LUMBERING IGUANODON.

>> NEVER DID MEET AN IGUANODON.

I'D REALLY LOVE TO SEE ONE OF THOSE.

>> WELL, THE PLAN IS FOR YOU TO MEET AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE--IGGY IGUANODON.

HE LIVES NEAR OUR NEXT STOP, IGUANODON INLET.

>> GOOD FISHING NEAR THERE, TOO.

>> HEY, THE SLEEPYHEADS ARE UP.

[ALL LAUGH] >> YOUR FATHER HAS BEEN BUSY WITH HIS WORLD TOUR MAP, BUT HE CAN'T SEEM TO FIND WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR.

>> I--HEH!--HEAR THERE'S GREAT FISHING IN THESE PARTS.

I'M ALL ABOUT GREAT FISHING AND NAVIGATING, BUT NO FISHING SPOTS ARE MARKED ON THE MAP.

>> YOU NEED SOME HELP, DAD?

>> NO, THANKS, DON.

GOT IT HANDLED.

I HEARD THERE ARE SOME WHITE CLIFFS NEAR HERE AND GREAT CLIFFS TO FISH OFF OF.

>> THAT'S TRUE, MR. PTERANODON.

I BET I COULD LEAD YOU THERE.

>> THANKS, GILBERT, BUT I'LL FIND IT JUST FINE.

I'VE GOT A NOSE FOR GREAT FISHING SPOTS.

HA HA!

NOW IF I COULD JUST FOLD THE THING HERE.

>> HERE, DAD.

THIS PART FOLDS OVER.

>> NO, I THINK THIS PART'S BACKWARDS.

>> OK, NOW, THAT'S NOT IT.

I THINK WE NEED TO FOLD IT OVER LIKE WITH--AHEM.

HEH HEH HEH!

GEE, THANKS, DON.

[ALL LAUGH] >> GILBERT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THE HONORS?

>> CERTAINLY, UNCLE CONDUCTOR.

AHEM.

TIME TUNNEL!

TIME TUNNEL APPROACHING!

HANG ON TO YOUR HATS, BEAKS, AND TAILS, FOLKS!

[BELL RINGS] >> IGUANODON INLET STATION IN THE CRETACEOUS TIME PERIOD.

THAT MEANS YOU, PTERANODON FAMILY.

AHEM.

GILBERT WILL BE YOUR TOUR GUIDE AND HELP YOU FIND IGGY IGUANODON.

>> AND THOSE FISHING CLIFFS.

>> UH, HEH HEH!

SURE.

YOU BET, GILBERT.

>> SO, WHERE DO YOU THINK THIS IGGY IGUANODON IS?

>> NOT SURE, BUDDY.

WE'LL FIND HIM AFTER WE FIND THOSE FISHING CLIFFS.

HEH!

MY GUT SAYS WE SHOULD HEAD-- >> OVER THATAWAY?

>> UH, THATAWAY.

FOLLOW ME, TEAM PTERANODON.

[SQUAWKS] >> DON'T FORGET GILBERT.

>> WHOA!

>> ARE WE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, DAD?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, WE'LL BE FISHING FROM THOSE WHITE CLIFFS.

>> DAD, ARE WE THERE YET?

>> WELL, SOON, DON.

I THINK THE CLIFFS ARE JUST AHEAD.

YEAH, STRAIGHT AHEAD, I HOPE.

>> MAYBE WE SHOULD LAND AND ASK SOME LOCAL DINOSAURS FOR DIRECTIONS.

>> I'M NOT ABOUT TO ASK SOME OTHER GUY FOR DIRECTIONS.

>> [SQUAWKS] I DON'T SEE ANY CLIFFS UP AHEAD, DAD.

>> I SEE A LOT OF TREES.

>> UH-HUH.

WELL, AFTER WE PASS ALL THESE TREES, TEAM, WE'LL PROBABLY BE RIGHT AT THE WHITE CLIFFS.

>> ARE YOU SURE, HON?

>> OF COURSE.

HEH!

MOST LIKELY.

>> WHY DON'T WE SET BUDDY AND GILBERT DOWN AND JUST TAKE A LITTLE REST?

>> OK, TEAM PTERANODON.

LET'S WALK A LITTLE WAYS AND GIVE OUR WINGS A REST BEFORE WE ARRIVE AT THE WHITE CLIFFS.

>> NOW WHICH WAY, DAD?

>> I'D SAY THATAWAY.

>> I THINK THE WATER'S THAT WAY, SIR.

>> YOU MEAN BACK IN THE DIRECTION WE JUST CAME FROM?

HEH HEH HEH!

NOPE!

LET'S GO, TEAM, THIS WAY.

[ALL HUMMING] >> THERE'S MY FAVORITE ROCK AGAIN.

>> DAD, ARE THE CLIFFS NEAR HERE?

>> WELL, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I BELIEVE THE WHITE CLIFFS ARE-- >> [BRITISH ACCENT] DID YOU SAY WHITE CLIFFS?

>> DID YOU GUYS HEAR THAT?

>> I HEARD SOMETHING, BUT WHO SAID IT?

>> LOOK.

AN IGUANODON.

I RECOGNIZE IT FROM THE PICTURE THE CONDUCTOR SHOWED US.

>> YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, BUDDY.

>> HA!

QUITE RIGHT, CHAPS.

I AM INDEED AN IGUANODON.

>> I KNEW IT!

WHAT'S A CHAP?

>> A CHAP IS, WELL, A FELLOW OR A FRIEND.

NOW I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU: WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

>> WE'RE THE PTERANODON FAMILY.

WE'RE ON A WORLD TOUR.

>> AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE CLIFFS THAT ARE REALLY GREAT FOR FISHING, RIGHT, DAD?

>> EXACTLY.

THE WHITE CLIFFS THAT ARE JUST OVER THERE.

>> HA HA!

A WORLD TOUR.

SO, YOU LOT ARE NOT LOCAL.

I'M AFRAID I HAVE SOME INCONVENIENT NEWS: YOU'RE HEADED THE WRONG WAY.

>> WE ARE?

>> BUT I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP YOU CHAPS.

>> REALLY?

>> SPEAKING OF CHAPS, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR AN IGUANODON FRIEND OF A FRIEND.

MAYBE YOU KNOW HIM.

>> HIS NAME IS IGGY IGUANODON.

>> HMM.

YES, I BELIEVE I DO KNOW THIS IGGY.

HANDSOME CHAP.

THE SMARTEST, FUNNIEST, MOST POPULAR DINOSAUR IN THE ENTIRE INLET.

>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE IGGY.

MY UNCLE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT HIM.

>> YOUR UNCLE?

>> THE DINOSAUR TRAIN CONDUCTOR.

>> BY JOVE!

HOW IS THE OLD BRAIN OF THE TRAIN?

>> [GASPS] YOU KNOW MY UNCLE?

>> INDEED I DO.

AH, NOW I REMEMBER.

HE WAS LEADING A WORLD TOUR.

>> WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'RE AN IGUANODON WHO LIVES HERE AND WHO KNOWS THE CONDUCTOR.

YOU'RE IGGY!

>> AT YOUR SERVICE.

I WAS MERELY JESTING.

[ALL LAUGH] >> HELLO, IGGY.

I'M GILBERT.

THESE ARE MY FRIENDS: BUDDY, TINY, SHINY, DON, AND MR. AND MRS. PTERANODON.

>> HOW DO YOU DO?

>> PLEASED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.

NOW, LET'S GET YOU TO THOSE WHITE CLIFFS.

>> OH, COULD YOU POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

>> POINT?

HA HA!

I CAN DO ONE BETTER THAN THAT.

I'LL LEAD YOU TO THE WHITE CLIFFS.

>> YOU CAN STAND ON TWO FEET.

>> I CERTAINLY CAN AND OFTEN DO.

TO THE WHITE CLIFFS!

>> IGGY, AFTER SEEING A PICTURE OF AN IGUANODON, I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D BE ABLE TO WALK ON TWO FEET.

>> AH, BUT I CAN, BUDDINGTON.

>> [GIGGLES] "BUDDINGTON."

>> STANDING ON TWO FEET HELPS ME REACH HIGHER BRANCHES, AND I FIND I CAN GET AROUND FASTER ON TWO LEGS.

>> WELL, IGGY, I CAN PROBABLY GET THE FAMILY TO THE WHITE CLIFFS FROM HERE.

>> HA HA HA!

I'LL TAKE YOU THE WHOLE WAY.

DON'T MIND A BIT, OLD BOY.

A BIT OF TWO-LEGGED WALKING WOULD DO ME GOOD.

>> REALLY?

WELL, THANKS.

PUT HER THERE.

WHOA!

THAT IS A GOOD, STRONG GRIP YOU GOT THERE, IGGY.

>> WHY, THANK YOU, SIR.

AS DO YOU.

>> IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF IGGY'S BIG THUMBS.

CHECK 'EM OUT.

>> DON, IT'S NOT POLITE TO POINT.

>> DON'T MIND A BIT.

I DO HAVE BIG THUMBS.

>> AND YOUR PINKIES LOOK LIKE THEY'D BE REALLY GOOD AT GRABBING STUFF.

>> I HAVE A HYPOTHESIS.

MAYBE OUR PINKIES HELP YOU GRAB LEAVES AND BRANCHES OFF TREES.

>> SOUNDS LIKE AN INTERESTING HYPOTHESIS, BUDDY.

>> BUDDY LOVES HYPOTHESES.

>> HE'S ALWAYS COMING UP WITH THEM.

>> BRILLIANT.

WELL, LET'S TEST YOUR HYPOTHESIS, BUDDY, SHALL WE?

[ALL CLAMORING] WHERE ARE MY MANNERS?

STARTER?

>> NO, THANKS.

WE'RE PRETTY MUCH ALL CARNIVORES.

>> AND I'M AN OMNIVORE, BUT I DON'T EAT TREES.

>> IGGY, I OBSERVE THAT YOU HAVE LOTS OF SHARP TEETH.

DO YOU EVER USE THEM TO EAT MEAT?

>> OH, NO, NO, NO.

I AM A HERBIVORE, LIKE ALL ORNITHOPODS.

>> RIGHT, BUDDY, LIKE ALL ORNITHOPODS.

HEH!

WHAT EXACTLY IS AN ORNITHOPOD?

>> ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE.

WE ORNITHOPODS WALK ON TWO LEGS.

CHEERIO!

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.

I'M BACK, MATES.

AND WALKING ON ALL OF ME LEGS.

WE ORNITHOPODS CAN DO THAT, TOO.

IN FACT, WE CAN DO A WHOLE VARIETY OF WALKS, SOME QUITE SILLY.

[PTERANODON FAMILY LAUGHING] >> I CAN DO THAT ONE.

>> [SQUAWKS] EVERYONE, DO THE IGGY.

>> EARLY CRETACEOUS CONGA LINE!

>> YEAH!

YEAH!

YEAH!

>> WOO HOO!

>> I CALL THIS ONE RIVER DANCE OF THE IGUANA--WHOA!

>> WHOA!

[GIGGLES] >> BOY, IGGY, YOUR MIDDLE FINGERS MUST BE STRONG TO WALK ON THEM.

>> SO TRUE, BUDDINGTON.

MY FRONT MIDDLE FINGERS CAN SUPPORT MY GREAT WEIGHT.

IT ALLOWS IGUANODONS TO WALK ON 2 OR 4 LEGS, TO EAT LEAVES FROM HIGH OR LOW BRANCHES.

DELICIOUS LOW-HANGING FOLIAGE.

I GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP.

>> THOSE ARE SOME SPIKY THUMBS.

>> WHAT, THESE?

DON'T WORRY.

I WON'T POKE ANYONE.

>> I BET YOU USE THOSE THUMBS TO SCARE OFF PREDATORS.

>> I'M WITH YOU, BUDDY.

>> YOU ARE BOTH SPOT ON, BUT I ALSO USE MY SPIKY THUMBS TO POINT, AND I DARE SAY I'M POINTING TO WHAT'S JUST AHEAD OF US--YOUR WHITE CLIFFS, MR. PTERANODON.

>> WHAT?

REALLY?

>> YES.

OUR CRETACEOUS CONGA LINE TOOK US ALL THE WAY TO THE CLIFFS.

[ALL GASP] >> HOW 'BOUT THAT?

I FOUND THE WHITE CLIFFS.

I MEAN, WE DID.

HEH!

IGGY, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, IGGY.

>> PISH POSH!

'TWAS NOTHING.

HAPPY TO DO IT.

AHEM!

WELL, NOW LET'S SEE SOME FISHING, PTERANODON FAMILY.

>> YAHOO!

PTERANODON!

>> [SQUAWKS] ♪ SHINY THE FISH-CATCHING PTERANODON ♪ >> AH!

WHAT A GREAT DAY.

HA HA!

SOME PRETTY GREAT FISHING AT THOSE WHITE CLIFFS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY FISH WE CAUGHT.

>> [BRITISH ACCENT] YES.

I AM SO FULL, CHAPS.

>> WELL, SAVE SOME ROOM, DON, 'CAUSE WE'RE HEADED TO ANOTHER WORLD TOUR LOCATION, AND I'LL BET YOU'LL FIND MORE FISH THERE.

>> I'M SURE GLAD WE GOT TO MEET IGGY.

I LOVE HIS SILLY WALKS.

>> PRECISELY, BUDDINGTON.

EVERYBODY, DO THE IGGY!

[ALL LAUGHING] BUDDINGTON!

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] >> HI.

I'M DR. SCOTT, THE PALEONTOLOGIST, AND THIS IS IGUANODON.

>> IGUANODON.

>> IGUANODON.

>> IGUANODON.

>> IGUANODON WAS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST DINOSAURS EVER FOUND.

ITS BONES WERE DISCOVERED IN ENGLAND IN 1822.

WHEN IGUANODON FOSSILS WERE DUG UP, PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT DINOSAURS LOOKED LIKE.

IMAGINE BEING ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE EVER TO SEE HUGE DINOSAUR BONES.

THE NAME OF THIS DINOSAUR MEANS "IGUANA TOOTH" BECAUSE THE TEETH OF IGUANODON LOOKED KIND OF LIKE THE TEETH OF LIZARDS KNOWN AS IGUANAS.

AT FIRST SCIENTISTS THOUGHT THAT DINOSAURS MUST HAVE LOOKED LIKE GIANT LIZARDS, SO THAT'S HOW THEY MADE IGUANODON LOOK--LIKE A GIANT LIZARD.

TODAY, WE KNOW THAT IGUANODON DIDN'T LOOK MUCH LIKE A LIZARD AT ALL.

INSTEAD OF BEING SPRAWLED, IGUANODON WALKED ON 4 LEGS WHEN MOVING SLOWLY AND SWITCHED TO 2 LEGS WHEN GOING FASTER.

PALEONTOLOGISTS ALSO FOUND A STRANGE, POINTED BONE WITH THE FOSSILS OF IGUANODON.

AT FIRST, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A HORN THAT WENT ON THE NOSE, BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG SPIKE ON THE END OF THE THUMB.

TODAY, WE PALEONTOLOGISTS ARE STILL LEARNING LOTS OF BRAND-NEW THINGS ABOUT VERY OLD DINOSAURS, SO KEEP WATCHING FOR MORE DINOSAUR DISCOVERIES.

>> DINOSAURS HAVE CLAWS.

CONDUCTOR.

TODAY, WE CONTINUE ON OUR WORLD TOUR, AND THE PTERANODON FAMILY GETS TO SPEND THE NIGHT ON THE TRAIN.

SO COME ON ALONG WITH ME ON THE DINOSAUR TRAIN!

ALL ABOARD!

>> AMARGASAURUS, CONFUCIUSORNIS, IGUANODON, GIGANOTOSAURUS, VELOCIRAPTOR, JINGENGOPTERYX.

>> AND GILBERT--ALL THE NEW DINOSAURS WE'VE MET SO FAR ON OUR VACATION.

>> YEAH.

I FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN AWAY FROM OUR NEST FOR SO LONG.

>> ME, TOO.

FOR SO LONG.

>> NOW IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE DINOSAUR TRAIN IS OUR NEW HOME.

>> KIND OF, BUT I REALLY MISS OUR NEST.

>> ME, TOO, BUT RIGHT NOW I'M SO TIRED I COULD SLEEP ANYWHERE.

[YAWNS] >> GOOD YAWN, TINY.

[KISS] [KISS] [KISS] OH, LOOK.

DON'S ALREADY ASLEEP.

[KISS] THE REST OF YOU SHOULD GET TO SLEEP, TOO.

WE HAVE ANOTHER BIG WORLD TOUR DAY TOMORROW.

>> ALL RIGHT!

>> MOM, I'M NOT SURE IF I'M THAT TIRED.

>> SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE RESTLESS, SHINY.

>> I JUST CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT OUR NEST.

SLEEPING HERE IS SO DIFFERENT THAN OUR HOME.

[SIGHS] >> I KNOW, DEAR, BUT OUR WHOLE FAMILY IS RIGHT HERE WITH YOU.

THAT'S KIND OF LIKE HAVING THE FEELING OF HOME AROUND YOU.

>> NIGHT, MOM.

I'LL TRY TO SLEEP.

GOOD NIGHT.

>> GOOD NIGHT.

[SQUAWK, KISS] >> [SNORING] >> HMM.

MMM.

[SIGHS] DAD.

DAD.

>> HUH?

WHAT?

>> I CAN'T SLEEP.

>> EVERYTHING IS OK, SHINY.

JUST CRAWL BACK IN YOUR NEST.

I'M RIGHT HERE.

[SNORING] CAN'T SLEEP AT ALL, HUH?

WELL, I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL.

LET'S MAKE YOUR NEST AS COMFORTABLE AS WE CAN, OK?

THERE.

I FLUFFED UP THE GRASS SO IT'S NICE AND SOFT.

NOW, HOP IN.

AND HERE'S YOUR FAVORITE SHINY SHELL.

>> THANKS, DAD.

>> YEP.

YOU'RE WELCOME, SHINY.

OK. 1, 2, 3.

LET'S CLOSE OUR EYES AND GO TO SLEEP.

>> OK. SLEEP.

I GO... SLEEPING.

I'M SLEEPING.

I'M...

I'M AWAKE.

DAD, I STILL CAN'T SLEEP.

SORRY.

>> HEH.

I KNOW IT'S TOUGH TO FALL ASLEEP WHEN YOU'RE SOMEPLACE UNFAMILIAR.

TELL YOU WHAT, HOW ABOUT WE GO OUT AND SEE WHAT NIGHTTIME IS LIKE IN THE TRAIN?

>> [GIGGLES] >> JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE, AND THEN WE'LL TRY TO SLEEP AGAIN, OK?

>> I LIKE THAT PLAN, DAD.

>> OK. LET'S TIPTOE VERY QUIETLY.

>> THE TRAIN IS SO DIFFERENT AT NIGHT.

IS EVERYONE ASLEEP?

>> WELL, JUST ABOUT EVERYONE, I BET.

OK. TIME TO TIPTOE AGAIN.

THROUGH THE OBSERVATION CAR WE GO.

>> [SNORING] >> WHOA!

>> THAT WAS SUCH A LOVELY INSECT.

OH, YES, I'LL TAKE 3 OF THEM, PLEASE.

[SQUAWKS] >> IS SHE EVEN ASLEEP?

>> SHE IS.

ARCHAEOPTERYX SLEEP STANDING UP, SHINY, SO THEY CAN BE ALERT FOR PREDATORS.

COME ON.

YOU OK, SHINY?

>> WELL, SOMETIMES AT NIGHT THE SHADOWS CAN LOOK PRETTY SCARY.

>> RIGHT.

BUT IF YOU SEE THEM AS CREATURES YOU KNOW, I THINK IT HELPS.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S TINY.

"HI!

I'M SHADOW TINY PTERANODON."

>> [GIGGLING] >> OOH, LOOK AT THAT ONE.

"HI!

I'M BUDDY.

I HAVE A HYPOTHESIS."

HEY, HOW ABOUT THAT ONE?

"LA LA LOO!

I'M DON!

I'M A SHADOW, TOO!"

>> OH, DAD.

>> LOOK AT THAT BIG SHADOW.

THAT ONE SAYS-- >> OOH!

>> OH!

MRS.

CONDUCTOR!

>> YES.

THAT I AM.

I HEARD NOISES.

JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT WHO IT WAS.

>> HI.

WHY AREN'T YOU ASLEEP?

>> OH, I LOVE TO STAY UP AT NIGHT.

I'M NOCTURNAL, DON'T YOU KNOW?

>> OH, RIGHT.

TROODONS HUNT FOR FOOD AT NIGHT, SO WE DIDN'T WAKE YOU.

YOU WERE ALREADY UP.

>> EXACTLY.

BUT WHY ARE YOU TWO AWAKE?

>> WELL, SHINY WAS HAVING TROUBLE FALLING ASLEEP.

>> OH, YES, I KNOW IT CAN BE HARD SOMETIMES TO FALL ASLEEP IN A NEW PLACE.

BUT, SHINY, YOU HAVE TO TRY.

PTERANODONS ARE NOT NOCTURNAL, AND YOU YOUNGSTERS NEED YOUR SLEEP.

>> I KNOW, MRS.

CONDUCTOR.

I'LL TRY.

>> RIGHT.

VERY SOON, SHINY WILL CURL UP AND TRY TO SLEEP AGAIN.

[CREAK] >> [WHIMPERS] MRS.

CONDUCTOR, DO YOU LIKE BEING AWAKE AT NIGHT?

I MEAN, DON'T YOU GET SCARED BY THE SHADOWS AND STUFF?

>> HA HA HA!

OH, SHINY, THE TRUTH IS I DON'T GET SCARED.

I LIKE THE SHADOWS.

I'M USED TO BEING AWAKE, PLUS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE UP LATE AT NIGHT.

ALL KINDS OF CREATURES ARE AWAKE IN THE NIGHTTIME.

>> EVEN HERE ON THE DINOSAUR TRAIN?

>> OH, CERTAINLY.

THE OTHER TROODONS WHO ARE ON THE TRAIN DON'T WANT THE ENGINEER TO BE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL.

HA HA HA!

>> OH, RIGHT.

>> OH, BUT THAT'S FINE WITH ME.

I LIKE MY NIGHT RITUALS, YOU KNOW, MY ROUTINE?

I HAVE A SNACK AND THEN I WALK THE LENGTH OF THE TRAIN, CHECK IN ALL THE CARS.

THAT'S AN OLD HABIT FROM BEING A CONDUCTOR FOR YEARS.

>> HEY, WE COULD MAKE UP A NIGHTTIME ROUTINE FOR YOU, TOO, SHINY.

>> WELL, YES!

RIGHT NOW I'M ON MY WAY TO THE CABOOSE.

I ALWAYS END UP THERE.

>> CAN WE COME WITH YOU?

>> WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO MESS UP MRS.

CONDUCTOR'S ROUTINE.

>> OH, YOU CAN TAG ALONG.

IT MIGHT HELP TO TIRE HER OUT.

FOLLOW ME!

>> YEAH!

UM, I MEAN, YEAH.

>> SO, YOU'RE INTERESTED IN NOCTURNAL CREATURES, ARE YOU?

>> SURE.

>> YOU KNOW THAT TROODONS ARE NOCTURNAL, BUT HOW ABOUT ORYCTODROMEUS, PALAEOBATRACHUS, AND MANY HERMIT CRABS?

>> HERMIT CRABS?

LIKE MY FRIEND HENRY.

>> YES.

>> THAT'S PRETTY NEAT THAT YOU CAN WORK THE SCREEN LIKE THE CONDUCTOR DOES.

>> OF COURSE.

WHO DO YOU THINK TAUGHT THE CONDUCTOR HOW TO USE THE SCREEN?

I DID!

HA HA HA!

I TAUGHT MY SONNY BOY EVERYTHING.

AFTER ALL, I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE BABY BOY.

HA HA HA!

>> WHERE'S THE CONDUCTOR NOW?

>> OH, HE'S ASLEEP.

EVEN TROODONS HAVE TO SLEEP SOMETIME, ESPECIALLY IF THEY WORK HARD ALL DAY LONG.

>> YEAH.

[YAWNS] >> SPEAKING OF SLEEPING, LET'S GO VISIT ONE MORE PLACE AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE QUIET BEDTIME STORY AND THEN YOU CAN GO TO SLEEP, SHINY.

>> ARE WE GOING TO THE CABOOSE NOW?

>> YES INDEEDY DOO.

OH, I LOVE TO SIT OUT HERE AT NIGHT.

YOU CAN SEE SO MUCH OF THE NOCTURNAL WORLD FROM HERE.

>> YEAH.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SKY.

SO MANY STARS.

[ANIMALS HOOTING AND CHIRPING] >> I CAN HEAR SO MANY DIFFERENT NOISES.

>> YES, IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY.

>> I HEAR SOME BIRDS... [FROG CROAKS] AND A FROG.

AND A... [SNORT] SNORT.

>> I THOUGHT IT WAS A SNORT AND I CAN HEAR THE TRAIN ENGINE.

>> ME, TOO.

>> BUT MOSTLY I JUST HEAR THE PEACEFUL QUIET.

>> WELL SAID, MR. PTERANODON.

THE QUIET PART IS THE PART I LIKE BEST.

[SHINY AND MRS.

CONDUCTOR SIGH] >> WHO GOES THERE?

>> AAH!

>> WELL, GOOD EVENING TO YOU, SONNY.

>> GOOD EVENING, MR.

CONDUCTOR.

>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING AWAKE?

>> WELL, I WAS ASLEEP, BUT I HEARD SEVERAL VOICES OUT HERE, SO I CAME TO INVESTIGATE.

>> OH, YES.

USUALLY THERE ARE NO VOICES OUT HERE, BUT AS I WAS SAYING TO SHINY AND MR. PTERANODON, THESE QUIET NIGHTS ARE ACTUALLY MORE ACTIVE THAN THEY IMAGINE, RIGHT, SONNY?

>> YES, MOTHER, VERY MUCH SO.

[YAWNS] IT'S AN ACTIVE NIGHTTIME WORLD.

>> OH, MY LITTLE SONNY BOY IS SLEEPY.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE KNOCK-KNEED THEROPOD AND I'D TELL YOU BEDTIME STORIES?

>> YES, MOTHER, I REMEMBER.

>> OH, COULD YOU TELL US A BEDTIME STORY, MRS.

CONDUCTOR?

>> MM-HMM.

WELL, MY STORIES ALWAYS SEEM TO HELP SONNY BOY HERE SLEEP, SO MAYBE ONE WILL HELP LITTLE SHINY.

>> HA HA!

SURE.

SOUNDS GREAT.

>> ONCE THERE WAS A CUTE AND CURIOUS LITTLE--WELL, LET'S JUST SAY TROODON.

HE LOVED RIDING ON A CERTAIN TRAIN.

HE LOVED ALL THE OTHER CREATURES HE MET AND HE LOVED LEARNING ABOUT HOW THE ENGINES OF THE TRAIN WORKED.

AND EVERY NIGHT, HE LISTENED TO ALL THE SLEEPY SOUNDS OF THE DINOSAURS WHO LIVED IN THE FOREST AND ALL THE SOUNDS OF THE TRAIN AS IT CHUGGED THROUGH THE FOREST.

AND HE'D SIT IN THE CABOOSE AND HE'D SAY, "NIGHTY-NIGHT, TRAIN."

[CHUCKLES] YOU SEE?

A QUIET STORY WORKS EVERY TIME.

OK, SONNY BOY.

>> I DON'T NEED HELP.

>> HUSH, LITTLE BABY.

SLEEPY BOO TIME.

>> AND I DON'T NEED TO SLEEP, EITHER.

>> OH, HERE WE GO.

EASY NOW.

>> I HAVE TO... [YAWNS] STAY ON SCHEDULE.

>> OK. YOU'RE SAFE IN YOUR NEST, SWEETIE.

SLEEP TIGHT NOW.

I'LL BE RIGHT.. [YAWNS] OVER HERE.

[SNORING] >> HONEY, YOU'RE SNORING.

>> YES, THANK YOU.

ONE DOUBLE FISH KABOB COMING UP.

[SNORING] >> [CHUCKLES] [SIGHS, SQUAWKS QUIETLY] [TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] >> HI THERE.

I'M DR. SCOTT, THE PALEONTOLOGIST.

THIS WEEK, THE PTERANODON FAMILY IS TRAVELING IN EUROPE, WHERE THEY LEARNED ABOUT HOW SOME DINOSAURS SLEEP.

PALEONTOLOGISTS THINK THAT SOME DINOSAURS MAY HAVE SLEPT STANDING UP.

>> [PRETENDING TO SNORE] >> CAN YOU THINK OF ANY ANIMALS TODAY THAT SLEEP STANDING UP?

>> COWS.

>> HORSES.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

LIKE BIRDS, ALL DINOSAURS WERE PROBABLY BORN IN NESTS, BUT THEY SOON LEFT THE NESTS AFTER HATCHING.

WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HOW DINOSAURS SLEPT, BUT THE FOSSIL OF ONE DINOSAUR CALLED MEI LONG WAS FOUND ALL CURLED UP IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SLEEPING POSITION, WITH THE HEAD TUCKED UNDER THE FEATHERED ARM.

HEY, LOOK AT THEM ALL SLEEPING.

I'M GETTING KIND OF TIRED, TOO.

SO REMEMBER, GET OUTSIDE, GET INTO NATURE, AND MAKE YOUR OWN DISCOVERIES.
