Tyrannosaurus Rex
Despite their fierce appearance, the male T-Rex can be very gentle lovers and very caring fathers.
The episode explores the journey of a T-Rex taking its young cubs across a sea to reach an island rich in food. With their hollow bones and powerful hind limbs, T-Rex are also excellent swimmers.
Pterosaur
Besides raising their hatchlings, Pterosaur also has another tactic of laying eggs and just ignore them.
Pterosaur eggs are leathery and can easily dry out, so they need to be covered. Pterosaurs often lay their eggs at the foot of bare rocks in the sea to avoid natural enemies, under piles of seaweed and … just leave.
Newly hatched Pterosaurs must instinctively survive on their own. They will try to crawl up the cliffs and make their first adventurous flight to the land, ideally the forest.
If lucky enough to fall into a forest, they will live here for about 5 years until they are matured enough to join adults in hunting trips at sea.
Tuarangisaurs
Tuarangisaur are the ocean giant about 9 meters (30 feet) long that live offshore, but at certain times they gather in a bay to mate and… eat stones.
They need round, smooth pebbles, usually smoothed under waterfalls, to crush undigested food in the stomach.
In the Tuarangisaur species, there is a close bond between the mother and the young.
Mosasaurs
The episode explores a fight for territory between two Mosasaurs, one young and one old.
The old Mosasaurs uses the advantage of weight and breathing tatics to drag the young Mosasaurs into the depths of the sea, causing it to suffocate.
