a tittle bigger than a dolphin...

55
00:05:56,675 --> 00:06:01,263
In many ways, the doily's world
was far different from ours.
56
00:06:01,346 --> 00:06:03,265
The climate was warmer
57
00:06:03,348 --> 00:06:07,686
Sea levels were higher,
and more of Earth was submerged
58
00:06:07,769 --> 00:06:10,689
This dolly would have lived
in a vast inland sea...

00:06:10,772 --> 00:06:13,692
that cut North America in two.

But it's great for catching fish.

creatures that move...
100

by pumping jets of water
from their shells.
101
00:09:57,540 --> 00:10:00,168
They're called ammonites...
102

and perhaps another defense.

changes for the dollies.

Perhaps it's a change of seasons...
138

that causes the Enchodus
to head out to sea on a migration.
139

The doilies must follow
their main source of food
