Maybe they should call it Bug Island?
I mean, there's plenty of those.
- Miss Shiny, that is a very interesting point.
- Mr.
Conductor?
Do you have a hypothesis about the island?
- Indeed I do, Buddy.
The island's ecosystem is out of balance.
And the Changyuraptors may be the reason why.
- What do you mean the ecosystem is out of balance?
- Is it like when I spin around in a circle too fast?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ooh.
[giggles] - Not quite, Don.
You see, ecosystems thrive only when all the plants and animals are in balance with one another.
But too much of one thing and not enough of another can have disastrous consequences.
all: Hmm.
How about a little demonstration?
Shiny and Tiny, could you please teeter-totter?
- Whoo-hoo!
- Yippee!
- You see, it's easy, because both sides are perfectly balanced.
Now see what happens when Don and Buddy get on the same side as Shiny.
- [caws] Whoa!
[caws] - Too much on one side put the teeter-totter out of balance.
And it's the same for an ecosystem.
In this case, as the Changyuraptor family has gotten bigger... - There's more and more Changyuraptors.
- Eating more and more lizards.
- Which means there's less and less lizards to eat the plants and bugs.
- Which is why there's so many bugs!
- Too much of one thing, and not enough of the other.
Out of balance.
- Of course, that's just a hypothesis.
We'll need more evidence to know for sure.
- Chandler said his family's nests are that way.
