Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:12,925 --> 00:00:15,189
I want to just see how close
he'll let me get the snare.
2
00:00:15,319 --> 00:00:17,278
I don't think I can
get him from here.
3
00:00:24,763 --> 00:00:25,895
Nice!
Got him.
4
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:26,765
Here.
5
00:00:26,896 --> 00:00:27,810
Let's go.
6
00:00:44,261 --> 00:00:46,089
Whenever
we visit a location,
7
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:50,006
I'm always on the lookout for
my next potential lizard catch.
8
00:00:50,137 --> 00:00:51,355
Look at that.
9
00:00:51,486 --> 00:00:52,791
Over the years,
10
00:00:52,922 --> 00:00:55,142
I've captured many of
these speedy reptiles,
11
00:00:55,272 --> 00:00:59,189
from collared lizards
to turnip-tailed geckos.
12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,366
However, on the Pacific
side of Costa Rica,
13
00:01:02,497 --> 00:01:04,194
there's one particular
lizard that has
14
00:01:04,325 --> 00:01:06,849
evaded me for several years--
15
00:01:06,979 --> 00:01:09,895
the spiny tailed iguana.
16
00:01:10,026 --> 00:01:12,637
A giant amongst
resident lizard species,
17
00:01:12,768 --> 00:01:14,552
this iguana may look
slow and lumbering
18
00:01:14,683 --> 00:01:16,076
with its calm demeanor.
19
00:01:16,206 --> 00:01:18,948
However, this creature
is incredibly quick
20
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:20,906
when it needs to be.
21
00:01:21,037 --> 00:01:21,951
Whoa!
22
00:01:24,997 --> 00:01:27,174
Catching
one by hand can be difficult.
23
00:01:27,304 --> 00:01:29,045
So today I'm going
to employ a strategy
24
00:01:29,176 --> 00:01:31,221
that many herpetologists
used in the field
25
00:01:31,352 --> 00:01:33,397
to get up close with lizards.
26
00:01:33,528 --> 00:01:38,054
Using a bamboo pole, some
paracord, and a multitool,
27
00:01:38,185 --> 00:01:40,491
I was able to build a
snare that would allow
28
00:01:40,622 --> 00:01:43,146
me several extra feet of reach.
29
00:01:43,277 --> 00:01:47,498
I am going to loop the
paracord through this notch,
30
00:01:47,629 --> 00:01:49,500
and then tie it across the top.
31
00:01:49,631 --> 00:01:52,329
And the snare will dangle
down right from there.
32
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:54,592
That snare will then go
over the head of the lizard.
33
00:01:54,723 --> 00:01:57,160
And the weight of its body,
once it starts to run,
34
00:01:57,291 --> 00:01:58,379
will pull it taut.
35
00:01:58,509 --> 00:01:59,815
I'll have it on the
end of the rope.
36
00:01:59,945 --> 00:02:01,295
And, hopefully, will be
able to catch it and get
37
00:02:01,425 --> 00:02:02,296
it up close for the cameras.
38
00:02:05,734 --> 00:02:09,390
Oh, there's that big one there.
39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,915
Let me just see how close
to let me get the snare.
40
00:02:13,045 --> 00:02:15,047
I don't think I can
get him from here.
41
00:02:34,893 --> 00:02:35,764
Nice!
42
00:02:35,894 --> 00:02:36,939
Got him.
Here.
43
00:02:37,069 --> 00:02:37,983
Let's go.
44
00:02:41,291 --> 00:02:42,118
Oh, my gosh.
45
00:02:42,249 --> 00:02:43,902
That's a big, big lizard.
46
00:02:44,033 --> 00:02:44,947
That's a big lizard.
47
00:02:45,077 --> 00:02:46,383
Hold on.
48
00:02:46,514 --> 00:02:49,256
I'm gonna grab him right
on the back of the head.
49
00:02:56,698 --> 00:02:59,004
Got him.
50
00:02:59,135 --> 00:03:01,137
Whoa!
51
00:03:01,268 --> 00:03:05,141
That is a serious
dinosaur right there.
52
00:03:05,272 --> 00:03:06,795
Look at that creature.
Wow.
53
00:03:06,925 --> 00:03:07,970
OK, hold on a second.
54
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,711
Let me get the
snare off of here.
55
00:03:09,841 --> 00:03:11,582
Whew.
56
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:12,670
What do you think, man?
57
00:03:12,801 --> 00:03:13,889
That was a great grab.
58
00:03:14,019 --> 00:03:14,716
God, it is really,
really strong.
59
00:03:14,846 --> 00:03:16,108
It is really strong.
60
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:18,154
I do not want to get
bitten by this creature.
61
00:03:18,285 --> 00:03:19,503
Hold on a second.
62
00:03:19,634 --> 00:03:22,463
Let me get a good
hold on his head here.
63
00:03:22,593 --> 00:03:25,857
Let me cut the snare rope.
64
00:03:25,988 --> 00:03:26,728
OK.
65
00:03:26,858 --> 00:03:28,208
All right.
66
00:03:28,338 --> 00:03:29,644
Let's back up here and
go down to the trail.
67
00:03:29,774 --> 00:03:32,473
I want to keep the lizard
as calm as possible.
68
00:03:32,603 --> 00:03:34,997
Let me get the noose
off of him here.
69
00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:39,871
Ooh.
OK.
70
00:03:40,002 --> 00:03:41,482
Oh, it definitely
made a go at me there.
71
00:03:41,612 --> 00:03:42,613
Wow.
72
00:03:42,744 --> 00:03:44,049
Oh!
73
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:45,225
The teeth in there--
you know what, Mario?
74
00:03:45,355 --> 00:03:46,269
Can you help me out?
Can you grab--
75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,314
Yeah.
- that rope?
76
00:03:47,444 --> 00:03:48,619
I got a pretty good hold on him.
77
00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:50,186
Just-- you kind of
got to like, gently
78
00:03:50,317 --> 00:03:52,362
loop it up over his head.
79
00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:53,842
I think I'm gonna pull him back.
80
00:03:53,972 --> 00:03:54,756
There we go.
81
00:03:54,886 --> 00:03:55,757
OK.
82
00:03:55,887 --> 00:03:57,149
There it is.
83
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,806
That is the spiny tailed iguana.
84
00:04:01,937 --> 00:04:04,200
It might as well be a dinosaur.
85
00:04:04,331 --> 00:04:05,114
Oh!
86
00:04:06,681 --> 00:04:08,160
Can you believe it?
87
00:04:08,291 --> 00:04:10,815
It has taken me days to
capture one of these lizards.
88
00:04:10,946 --> 00:04:14,906
Now let's take a real good
look at this creature.
89
00:04:15,037 --> 00:04:17,300
Look at the spines
running down the length
90
00:04:17,431 --> 00:04:19,389
of the body and then, of
course, here on the tail.
91
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,350
And you can see where they get
that name, spiny tailed iguana.
92
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,353
If you zoom in there, you can
see all the spines running
93
00:04:26,483 --> 00:04:27,876
along the length of the tail.
94
00:04:28,006 --> 00:04:29,747
They are incredibly sharp.
95
00:04:29,878 --> 00:04:32,446
Now, they can use this as a
defense against predators.
96
00:04:32,576 --> 00:04:35,231
They will whip this tail
around almost like a Stegosaur,
97
00:04:35,362 --> 00:04:37,277
and this is, like,
a bunch of barbs
98
00:04:37,407 --> 00:04:40,236
laced underneath
with muscle and bone.
99
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:42,847
It is so incredibly strong.
100
00:04:42,978 --> 00:04:44,240
Look at the hind legs.
101
00:04:44,371 --> 00:04:46,677
Now, these creatures
are terrestrial,
102
00:04:46,808 --> 00:04:48,549
but they are
capable of climbing.
103
00:04:48,679 --> 00:04:51,595
Those claws in those strong
forelimbs and back legs
104
00:04:51,726 --> 00:04:53,641
will allow them to easily
scurry up something
105
00:04:53,771 --> 00:04:55,295
like this, a side of a cage.
106
00:04:55,425 --> 00:04:57,035
Around here, when
we first approached,
107
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:59,037
it was on top of that
monkey enclosure.
108
00:04:59,168 --> 00:05:00,952
And, of course, they
can climb trees.
109
00:05:01,083 --> 00:05:03,955
Look at the stretch
of that mouth, though.
110
00:05:04,086 --> 00:05:05,522
Oh, my gosh!
111
00:05:05,653 --> 00:05:07,742
It's like looking into the
throat of a Tyrannosaur.
112
00:05:07,872 --> 00:05:09,396
Now, you look at a
creature like this,
113
00:05:09,526 --> 00:05:11,180
and it has these
razor sharp teeth.
114
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:14,009
But, believe it or not, these
lizards are herbivores, which
115
00:05:14,139 --> 00:05:15,532
means that they eat plants.
116
00:05:15,663 --> 00:05:17,360
Just the other day we
witnessed one eating some
117
00:05:17,491 --> 00:05:18,796
hibiscus flowers.
118
00:05:18,927 --> 00:05:20,320
And you think to yourself,
wow, this creature
119
00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:21,973
could take down
pretty much anything--
120
00:05:22,104 --> 00:05:23,497
maybe a bird or other lizards.
121
00:05:23,627 --> 00:05:25,107
But, nope.
122
00:05:25,237 --> 00:05:27,849
Sure enough, they're interested
in fruits and flowers.
123
00:05:27,979 --> 00:05:30,678
Look at the coloration
of this reptile.
124
00:05:30,808 --> 00:05:34,377
It's like a grayish-blue,
all of these really
125
00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:36,640
rugged scales on
top of the head,
126
00:05:36,771 --> 00:05:39,339
and it feels like sandpaper.
127
00:05:39,469 --> 00:05:42,777
Mark, just describe
to everyone out there
128
00:05:42,907 --> 00:05:43,995
watching what it feels like.
129
00:05:44,126 --> 00:05:45,170
Oh, wow.
- Is that--
130
00:05:45,301 --> 00:05:46,694
Yeah.
131
00:05:46,824 --> 00:05:48,086
Feels like it's about,
like, 100 grit sandpaper.
132
00:05:48,217 --> 00:05:49,261
It could do some damage--
- Yeah.
133
00:05:49,392 --> 00:05:50,393
- if it whipped you.
Yeah.
134
00:05:50,524 --> 00:05:52,047
Well, you can
understand why it
135
00:05:52,177 --> 00:05:53,135
was so dangerous for me to
try to capture one of these
136
00:05:53,265 --> 00:05:54,571
by hand.
137
00:05:54,702 --> 00:05:55,529
And I think I could have
done it if I had gotten
138
00:05:55,659 --> 00:05:56,834
it right behind the head.
139
00:05:56,965 --> 00:05:58,706
But a bite from a
lizard of this size
140
00:05:58,836 --> 00:06:00,534
can easily send you
to the hospital.
141
00:06:00,664 --> 00:06:03,667
Not only are the teeth sharp,
but they're curved backwards.
142
00:06:03,798 --> 00:06:05,713
So if it bites and
shakes its head,
143
00:06:05,843 --> 00:06:09,369
yeah, your fingers are
going to get shredded.
144
00:06:09,499 --> 00:06:11,458
Can you imagine
something like this,
145
00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:14,374
you know, 60 plus
million years ago,
146
00:06:14,504 --> 00:06:16,288
and maybe three or
four times the size?
147
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:18,247
Because that's what
was here on the planet
148
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:20,031
during the time of dinosaurs.
149
00:06:20,162 --> 00:06:21,424
So impressive.
150
00:06:21,555 --> 00:06:25,515
So unbelievably prehistoric.
151
00:06:25,646 --> 00:06:27,474
This was absolutely incredible.
152
00:06:27,604 --> 00:06:30,607
I have been trying for days
to catch one of these lizards.
153
00:06:30,738 --> 00:06:32,870
And, sure enough, here
hanging out at Kids
154
00:06:33,001 --> 00:06:34,568
Saving the Rainforest,
and I managed
155
00:06:34,698 --> 00:06:38,180
to get the spiny tailed iguana
up close for the cameras.
156
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:39,747
I'm Coyote Peterson.
157
00:06:39,877 --> 00:06:41,313
Be brave.
158
00:06:41,444 --> 00:06:42,227
Whew.
159
00:06:42,358 --> 00:06:43,838
Stay wild.
160
00:06:43,968 --> 00:06:45,753
We'll see you on
the next location.
161
00:06:45,883 --> 00:06:47,015
All right.
162
00:06:47,145 --> 00:06:48,712
Well, this is it--
the moment that we
163
00:06:48,843 --> 00:06:52,237
release the spiny tailed iguana
back into the environment.
164
00:06:52,368 --> 00:06:54,065
Got to be really careful that
I don't take a bite here.
165
00:06:54,196 --> 00:06:57,460
I'm gonna set it
down right there.
166
00:06:57,591 --> 00:06:59,897
One, two, three.
167
00:07:00,028 --> 00:07:00,985
Whoa!
168
00:07:01,116 --> 00:07:05,120
That was a fast lizard.
169
00:07:09,994 --> 00:07:12,214
Well, Ryan just
opened up the gates.
170
00:07:12,344 --> 00:07:14,782
I think the cassowary
is on its way out.
171
00:07:14,912 --> 00:07:16,218
Ooh, kind of nervous now.
172
00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:17,088
Are you?
173
00:07:17,219 --> 00:07:18,699
Oh, yeah.
174
00:07:18,829 --> 00:07:20,440
You don't really think about
it until the dinosaur's
175
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:21,528
actually coming towards you.
176
00:07:21,658 --> 00:07:22,529
Oh, my gosh.
177
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:25,619
It's big.
178
00:07:27,142 --> 00:07:28,143
Is it bigger than
you thought it'd be?
179
00:07:28,273 --> 00:07:30,841
It's-- it's a dinosaur.
180
00:07:30,972 --> 00:07:32,626
Oh, my gosh, this is crazy.
181
00:07:32,756 --> 00:07:34,628
Wait until you guys
see this thing.
182
00:07:34,758 --> 00:07:35,542
Whoa.
183
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:50,208
Today
I'm visiting Jungle Island,
184
00:07:50,339 --> 00:07:53,734
an interactive zoological
park located on Watson Island
185
00:07:53,864 --> 00:07:57,172
in Miami, Florida, which is
home to a plethora of animals
186
00:07:57,302 --> 00:08:00,088
from all around the world.
187
00:08:00,218 --> 00:08:02,438
And while most of my
adventures take me off-trail,
188
00:08:02,569 --> 00:08:03,961
today is truly unique.
189
00:08:04,092 --> 00:08:05,920
Because I will be
getting face to face
190
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:11,186
with the most dangerous bird
on the planet, the cassowary.
191
00:08:11,316 --> 00:08:13,405
The one I will be working
with on this episode
192
00:08:13,536 --> 00:08:15,146
is world famous
for being extremely
193
00:08:15,277 --> 00:08:17,061
well tempered around humans.
194
00:08:17,192 --> 00:08:19,847
However, that doesn't mean
I can let my guard down.
195
00:08:19,977 --> 00:08:23,067
Because this massive bird is
armed with razor sharp claws
196
00:08:23,198 --> 00:08:26,114
and a powerful kick, which
contains enough force
197
00:08:26,244 --> 00:08:27,550
to inflict a fatal blow.
198
00:08:31,598 --> 00:08:33,861
Getting this
close to a creature
199
00:08:33,991 --> 00:08:38,735
that's this prehistoric
looking is pretty amazing.
200
00:08:38,866 --> 00:08:41,564
Look at our ancient
looking that face
201
00:08:41,695 --> 00:08:44,001
is, and the coloration
in the skin,
202
00:08:44,132 --> 00:08:45,089
and the crest of the head--
203
00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:46,743
wow.
204
00:08:46,874 --> 00:08:48,702
The crest is a lot bigger
than I imagined it to be.
205
00:08:48,832 --> 00:08:50,094
And that's hollow, right?
206
00:08:50,225 --> 00:08:51,052
It is hollow.
207
00:08:51,182 --> 00:08:52,619
Yeah.
208
00:08:52,749 --> 00:08:53,881
But it's still-- it's--
it's real fibrous, right?
209
00:08:54,011 --> 00:08:55,404
Like, she could just--
- Very fibrous.
210
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:56,579
Yeah.
- ram me in the face with it.
211
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:57,928
So I definitely
have to be careful.
212
00:08:58,059 --> 00:08:59,974
It's very similar
in density to a beak.
213
00:09:00,104 --> 00:09:01,366
OK.
Mm-hmm.
214
00:09:01,497 --> 00:09:02,803
So if she's running
through the environment,
215
00:09:02,933 --> 00:09:05,022
she can kind of just keep
her head down and break
216
00:09:05,153 --> 00:09:06,241
through all the underbrush.
217
00:09:06,371 --> 00:09:08,025
Definitely.
218
00:09:08,156 --> 00:09:09,505
What they do is they stretch
their neck out real long, which
219
00:09:09,636 --> 00:09:11,463
will extend a few feet
in front of their body
220
00:09:11,594 --> 00:09:12,900
as they're running.
221
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:15,729
That'll help push the
branches away from her--
222
00:09:15,859 --> 00:09:17,600
the rest of her
body as she runs.
223
00:09:17,731 --> 00:09:18,949
Now, I'm not sure
if you noticed this,
224
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,472
but if you look
around the side here--
225
00:09:20,603 --> 00:09:21,561
Yeah.
226
00:09:21,691 --> 00:09:22,605
- you're gonna
see these wings.
227
00:09:22,736 --> 00:09:23,475
Yes, little tiny wings.
228
00:09:23,606 --> 00:09:24,694
Yeah.
229
00:09:24,825 --> 00:09:25,956
And they have
really stiff quills.
230
00:09:26,087 --> 00:09:27,001
Wow.
Look at that.
231
00:09:27,131 --> 00:09:28,568
Yeah.
232
00:09:28,698 --> 00:09:29,830
It almost looks
like a porcupine's quill.
233
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,701
Look at the size of
this bird's legs.
234
00:09:31,832 --> 00:09:33,311
Look at all the scales.
235
00:09:33,442 --> 00:09:35,749
This bird weighs
about 130 pounds.
236
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:37,446
That is a massive animal.
237
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,840
This is the second largest
species of bird in the world,
238
00:09:39,970 --> 00:09:42,190
second only to the ostrich.
239
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,104
And they're incredibly fast.
240
00:09:43,234 --> 00:09:44,192
Right?
241
00:09:44,322 --> 00:09:45,976
They are extremely fast.
242
00:09:46,107 --> 00:09:48,805
They can run around 30 miles per
hour through jungle underbrush.
243
00:09:48,936 --> 00:09:50,372
Wow.
244
00:09:50,502 --> 00:09:52,504
And every little sound that
we hear off-screen here,
245
00:09:52,635 --> 00:09:54,115
her head immediately does this.
246
00:09:54,245 --> 00:09:55,638
And it's just like
a Velociraptor
247
00:09:55,769 --> 00:09:57,248
that you've seen
in "Jurassic Park,"
248
00:09:57,379 --> 00:10:00,469
the head going like this,
turning from side to side.
249
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,125
It is so awesome to just
watch this bird in action.
250
00:10:04,255 --> 00:10:07,911
I would say that the only thing
this bird is missing is a tail.
251
00:10:08,042 --> 00:10:10,914
And if it had one, it
really would be a dinosaur.
252
00:10:11,045 --> 00:10:13,395
Now, I would never be
able to get this close
253
00:10:13,525 --> 00:10:15,266
to a cassowary in the wild.
254
00:10:15,397 --> 00:10:18,269
And they can be very, very
aggressive towards humans.
255
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,010
So it's very unique
that I'm getting
256
00:10:20,141 --> 00:10:22,752
to be this close
with this prehistoric
257
00:10:22,883 --> 00:10:24,624
looking creature today.
258
00:10:24,754 --> 00:10:27,365
I do want to try to stay
as calm as I possibly can,
259
00:10:27,496 --> 00:10:29,672
so that she also stays calm.
260
00:10:29,803 --> 00:10:31,282
Now, you can see she's
curious right now.
261
00:10:31,413 --> 00:10:34,024
She wants to know if I
have anything in my hand,
262
00:10:34,155 --> 00:10:37,071
like an apple or some grapes.
263
00:10:37,201 --> 00:10:38,072
Hi.
264
00:10:38,202 --> 00:10:40,509
Here you go.
265
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,816
Look at the skin.
266
00:10:42,946 --> 00:10:44,861
You wouldn't expect
a bird to have
267
00:10:44,992 --> 00:10:46,950
bright blue skin like that.
268
00:10:47,081 --> 00:10:48,299
It's so beautiful.
269
00:10:48,430 --> 00:10:49,518
And here's something
you might not know--
270
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,825
that the entire
bird's body is blue.
271
00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:54,566
If I just fold back those
feathers a tiny bit,
272
00:10:54,697 --> 00:10:56,873
look at that.
273
00:10:57,004 --> 00:10:59,180
Blue all the way through.
274
00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:01,399
Their feathers are
incredibly coarse.
275
00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:04,794
These ones on the outside here
almost feel like horse hairs.
276
00:11:04,925 --> 00:11:09,103
And then, underneath, she's
really soft and downy.
277
00:11:09,233 --> 00:11:11,714
When you look at the
feet of this bird--
278
00:11:11,845 --> 00:11:14,021
look at those scales,
and look at the claws.
279
00:11:14,151 --> 00:11:16,937
It looks just like the
foot of a Velociraptor.
280
00:11:17,067 --> 00:11:19,809
And that claw on the
inside edge of the foot--
281
00:11:19,940 --> 00:11:21,071
razor sharp.
282
00:11:21,202 --> 00:11:22,507
Now, if this bird
was out in the wild,
283
00:11:22,638 --> 00:11:24,814
it would actually be
a couple inches longer
284
00:11:24,945 --> 00:11:27,556
and sickle shaped,
just like a Raptor.
285
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,079
Now, these birds are
capable of jumping
286
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:30,690
almost six feet in the air.
287
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:32,779
And I can't even imagine
how terrifying it would
288
00:11:32,909 --> 00:11:35,651
be to be out there in the
jungle, have one of these cut
289
00:11:35,782 --> 00:11:38,001
through the underbrush,
run out you, leap,
290
00:11:38,132 --> 00:11:41,091
and you take one of
those claws to the face.
291
00:11:41,222 --> 00:11:44,529
When you look down the length of
that beak and into those eyes,
292
00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:48,795
you transcend back 65
million years into the past.
293
00:11:48,925 --> 00:11:53,147
And you feel as if you were
looking straight at a dinosaur.
294
00:11:53,277 --> 00:11:54,496
Wow.
295
00:11:54,626 --> 00:11:56,716
That is intimidating
right there.
296
00:11:56,846 --> 00:11:58,108
I'm Coyote Peterson.
297
00:11:58,239 --> 00:11:59,588
Be brave.
298
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,155
Stay wild.
299
00:12:01,285 --> 00:12:02,765
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
300
00:12:05,986 --> 00:12:07,509
The southern cassowary
301
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:09,903
is considered to be the most
dangerous bird in the world.
302
00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:12,644
And the only reason I was
able to interact with this one
303
00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:14,864
is because it was
raised in captivity.
304
00:12:14,995 --> 00:12:17,345
Unfortunately, these
omnivorous creatures
305
00:12:17,475 --> 00:12:20,087
are endangered in their
native lands of Australia
306
00:12:20,217 --> 00:12:21,653
and Papua New Guinea.
307
00:12:21,784 --> 00:12:24,308
So the chance to get up
close with this clever girl
308
00:12:24,439 --> 00:12:27,311
was an opportunity I
wasn't about to pass up.
309
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:36,843
What's going on, guys?
310
00:12:36,973 --> 00:12:38,714
Now, you're used
to us bringing you
311
00:12:38,845 --> 00:12:40,194
episodes of "Breaking
Trail" where
312
00:12:40,324 --> 00:12:41,935
I'm catching live animals.
313
00:12:42,065 --> 00:12:44,807
But today we're going to do
something a little different.
314
00:12:44,938 --> 00:12:46,983
We're headed off into
the back country of Utah
315
00:12:47,114 --> 00:12:49,246
to search for dinosaur tracks.
316
00:12:49,377 --> 00:12:51,422
Now, as most of you know, I
absolutely love dinosaurs.
317
00:12:51,553 --> 00:12:55,426
So what I'm gonna do is trade in
my cowboy hat for this helmet,
318
00:12:55,557 --> 00:12:59,039
as we ride on these
awesome Polaris RZRs
319
00:12:59,169 --> 00:13:00,867
out into the rough
and rugged terrain
320
00:13:00,997 --> 00:13:02,651
to search out these tracks.
321
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:03,521
All right.
322
00:13:03,652 --> 00:13:06,307
Hop in, guys!
323
00:13:06,437 --> 00:13:08,875
This is gonna be awesome.
324
00:13:09,005 --> 00:13:09,876
Woo!
325
00:13:12,530 --> 00:13:13,444
Woo-hoo!
326
00:13:32,246 --> 00:13:33,638
In
most of our adventures
327
00:13:33,769 --> 00:13:35,423
we break trail on foot.
328
00:13:35,553 --> 00:13:38,556
However, sometimes the best way
to cover many miles of distance
329
00:13:38,687 --> 00:13:41,646
quickly is by way of
all-terrain vehicle.
330
00:13:41,777 --> 00:13:43,735
Today the crew and I are
in Hurricane, Utah-- one
331
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:46,521
of the best places in
the West to find and get
332
00:13:46,651 --> 00:13:48,349
close to dinosaur tracks.
333
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:49,306
This is awesome!
334
00:13:49,437 --> 00:13:50,699
We finally made it!
335
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:53,441
Let's head back in there
and find the tracks.
336
00:13:53,571 --> 00:13:54,921
Woo!
337
00:14:06,628 --> 00:14:08,586
Oh, man, this is epic.
338
00:14:08,717 --> 00:14:12,547
Just this backdrop-- I
mean, you can't beat this.
339
00:14:12,677 --> 00:14:13,548
It is hot.
It is dusty.
340
00:14:13,678 --> 00:14:14,418
Look at this.
341
00:14:14,549 --> 00:14:15,811
Check this out.
342
00:14:15,942 --> 00:14:17,291
Can you see all the
dust coming off me?
343
00:14:17,421 --> 00:14:18,205
Oh, yeah.
344
00:14:18,335 --> 00:14:19,554
Ooh.
345
00:14:19,684 --> 00:14:21,077
It is-- what do you
think it is, about
346
00:14:21,208 --> 00:14:22,209
100 degrees out here right now?
347
00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:23,123
At least.
348
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:24,428
At least 100 degrees.
349
00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:25,821
And look at how
bone dry this is.
350
00:14:25,952 --> 00:14:27,083
Check this out.
351
00:14:27,214 --> 00:14:27,997
Look at that.
352
00:14:28,128 --> 00:14:31,218
It is just red dust.
353
00:14:31,348 --> 00:14:33,046
It's amazing to think
that at one point in time
354
00:14:33,176 --> 00:14:36,614
dinosaurs were walking right
through this environment.
355
00:14:36,745 --> 00:14:39,052
All right, I think if we head
down through this ravine here,
356
00:14:39,182 --> 00:14:40,444
we're going to find some.
357
00:14:49,497 --> 00:14:50,367
Wow.
358
00:14:50,498 --> 00:14:51,716
Check that out.
359
00:14:51,847 --> 00:14:53,457
Dinosaurs passed this way.
360
00:14:53,588 --> 00:14:55,590
Now, this is the whole area that
we're going to be exploring,
361
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,896
right here along the side.
362
00:14:57,026 --> 00:14:58,419
That's where we are.
363
00:14:58,549 --> 00:15:01,683
You've got Megapnosaurus
and Dilophosaurus tracks.
364
00:15:01,813 --> 00:15:03,511
Dilophosaurus are much larger.
365
00:15:03,641 --> 00:15:07,080
You see right there,
huge compared to a human.
366
00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:09,517
I can't imagine what it would
be like to have actually
367
00:15:09,647 --> 00:15:11,345
seen one of these walking
in this environment
368
00:15:11,475 --> 00:15:12,259
120 million years ago.
369
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:13,260
All right.
370
00:15:13,390 --> 00:15:15,044
Let's go find the tracks.
371
00:15:25,098 --> 00:15:27,230
And even though is was sloped
down, at one point in time
372
00:15:27,361 --> 00:15:29,493
before water washed through
here and wore the rock away,
373
00:15:29,624 --> 00:15:30,712
this could have been flatter.
374
00:15:30,842 --> 00:15:32,453
So I'm always
looking at an angle,
375
00:15:32,583 --> 00:15:35,760
for any indentation in the rock
has a potential to be a track.
376
00:15:35,891 --> 00:15:37,414
I mean, look how
deceiving this is.
377
00:15:37,545 --> 00:15:39,677
That almost looks like
a toe right there.
378
00:15:39,808 --> 00:15:40,852
Wow.
379
00:15:40,983 --> 00:15:42,724
I wonder if that
could be a track.
380
00:15:42,854 --> 00:15:45,031
That's not defined enough
to prove that, though.
381
00:15:45,161 --> 00:15:45,945
All right.
382
00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:46,989
Let's keep going.
383
00:15:52,908 --> 00:15:55,171
This is actually great
substrate right here.
384
00:15:55,302 --> 00:15:56,042
Check this out.
385
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:56,956
Look at this, Mark.
386
00:15:57,086 --> 00:15:58,392
Look at this.
387
00:15:58,522 --> 00:16:01,351
We just found our first
set of dinosaur tracks.
388
00:16:01,482 --> 00:16:03,745
This is Megapnosaurus
right here,
389
00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:06,052
a small upright
walking theropod.
390
00:16:06,182 --> 00:16:07,749
And you can see where
this animal moved
391
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:08,706
right through the environment.
392
00:16:08,837 --> 00:16:10,099
Look at this.
393
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:11,883
I'm going to step right
next to the tracks.
394
00:16:12,014 --> 00:16:14,930
Look at that stride.
395
00:16:15,061 --> 00:16:16,453
Wow.
396
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:18,281
That's so cool, walking
right alongside dinosaurs.
397
00:16:18,412 --> 00:16:19,326
You ever think you'd be
able to do that, Mark?
398
00:16:19,456 --> 00:16:20,762
No.
399
00:16:20,892 --> 00:16:22,155
I'd never think I'd
see a dinosaur track.
400
00:16:22,285 --> 00:16:23,025
I know.
401
00:16:23,156 --> 00:16:23,852
This is amazing.
402
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:24,853
Check this one out.
403
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:26,202
That's actually really cool.
404
00:16:26,333 --> 00:16:28,378
So it took a real
sharp turn right here,
405
00:16:28,509 --> 00:16:29,945
and probably headed
off in that direction.
406
00:16:30,076 --> 00:16:31,729
But if you come up here
a little bit further,
407
00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:33,557
you've got the larger
Dilophosaur tracks.
408
00:16:33,688 --> 00:16:34,776
Check this out.
409
00:16:34,906 --> 00:16:36,430
These are Dilophosaur tracks.
410
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,040
Look how big this animal was.
411
00:16:38,171 --> 00:16:38,954
Here.
412
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:39,999
Come up to this one.
413
00:16:40,129 --> 00:16:42,001
You can see this one in back.
414
00:16:42,131 --> 00:16:43,437
Look at that.
415
00:16:43,567 --> 00:16:44,351
Wow.
416
00:16:44,481 --> 00:16:45,439
Wow.
417
00:16:45,569 --> 00:16:47,136
What a giant.
418
00:16:47,267 --> 00:16:49,443
Dilophosaurus is famous because
it was featured in Steven
419
00:16:49,573 --> 00:16:51,184
Spielberg's "Jurassic Park."
420
00:16:51,314 --> 00:16:52,707
If you remember, it was the
one that had the big frill that
421
00:16:52,837 --> 00:16:54,491
came out and it spit the venom.
422
00:16:54,622 --> 00:16:57,103
Now, scientists do not
believe that this dinosaur
423
00:16:57,233 --> 00:16:58,452
actually had those frills.
424
00:16:58,582 --> 00:16:59,801
But the filmmakers
took the liberty
425
00:16:59,931 --> 00:17:02,108
of giving that dinosaur
these traits to make
426
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:03,631
it a little bit more scary.
427
00:17:03,761 --> 00:17:05,154
And look at how big they are.
428
00:17:05,285 --> 00:17:06,982
Now, in the movie, the
Dilophosaur they featured
429
00:17:07,113 --> 00:17:08,810
was much smaller than this.
430
00:17:08,940 --> 00:17:11,726
But you can see with my hand
right down there in the track,
431
00:17:11,856 --> 00:17:14,816
this is not a carnivore that
you would just want to stumble
432
00:17:14,946 --> 00:17:17,166
upon out here in the desert.
433
00:17:17,297 --> 00:17:19,429
How awesome is that?
434
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,214
Did you ever think
you'd be, like, standing
435
00:17:21,344 --> 00:17:22,302
right in a dinosaur track?
436
00:17:22,432 --> 00:17:24,086
No, I didn't.
437
00:17:24,217 --> 00:17:26,480
I've-- I've never seen dinosaur
tracks before out in the wild.
438
00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:29,613
And you can almost feel
the energy of this animal
439
00:17:29,744 --> 00:17:32,051
when you put your hand
into the track like that.
440
00:17:32,181 --> 00:17:33,487
OK.
441
00:17:33,617 --> 00:17:35,054
So these tracks we're
looking at right here--
442
00:17:35,184 --> 00:17:36,925
anybody can come and see these.
443
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:39,058
What we want to do
now is actually head
444
00:17:39,188 --> 00:17:41,669
off into the desert and see if
we can find some for ourselves.
445
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:43,105
You guys ready to do this?
446
00:17:43,236 --> 00:17:44,411
Let's do it.
447
00:17:44,541 --> 00:17:45,847
It's gonna be dry,
it's gonna be hot,
448
00:17:45,977 --> 00:17:47,109
and it's gonna be dusty.
449
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,763
But I'm pretty confident
that we're gonna
450
00:17:48,893 --> 00:17:50,895
find some tracks of our own.
451
00:18:02,516 --> 00:18:03,647
There's a hole.
452
00:18:03,778 --> 00:18:04,909
Oh, check this out!
453
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,998
This could be a track.
454
00:18:07,129 --> 00:18:08,783
Yes!
Chance, come up here.
455
00:18:08,913 --> 00:18:09,827
Look at this.
456
00:18:09,958 --> 00:18:12,308
We got one here, one here.
457
00:18:12,439 --> 00:18:13,222
Wow!
458
00:18:13,353 --> 00:18:14,571
I think this is it.
459
00:18:14,702 --> 00:18:16,095
I think these are
actual dinosaur tracks.
460
00:18:16,225 --> 00:18:17,400
This one right here
is almost perfect.
461
00:18:17,531 --> 00:18:18,880
Bring your camera up.
Come here.
462
00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:19,881
Come here.
Come here.
463
00:18:20,011 --> 00:18:20,751
Come here.
Look at this.
464
00:18:20,882 --> 00:18:22,144
Look over my shoulder.
465
00:18:22,275 --> 00:18:23,145
Look at that-- three
distinct toe marks.
466
00:18:23,276 --> 00:18:24,146
All right.
467
00:18:24,277 --> 00:18:25,495
I'm gonna blow the sand off.
468
00:18:25,626 --> 00:18:26,627
You ready?
469
00:18:29,456 --> 00:18:30,413
Yes!
470
00:18:30,544 --> 00:18:32,241
There's no question about it.
471
00:18:32,372 --> 00:18:34,548
That is an upright
walking theropod,
472
00:18:34,678 --> 00:18:36,071
most likely a carnivore.
473
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:37,899
And guessing on the
size of these tracks,
474
00:18:38,029 --> 00:18:40,641
I would say it's probably four
feet tall and close to 11 feet
475
00:18:40,771 --> 00:18:42,425
in length-- not
an animal that you
476
00:18:42,556 --> 00:18:45,689
would want to run into out
here 65 million years ago.
477
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:46,647
Holy cow!
478
00:18:46,777 --> 00:18:47,561
This is exciting!
479
00:18:47,691 --> 00:18:49,084
Dude, high five.
480
00:18:49,215 --> 00:18:50,955
I cannot believe we
actually came across tracks.
481
00:18:51,086 --> 00:18:52,392
And look at this.
482
00:18:52,522 --> 00:18:54,176
You've got one here, and
look at that stride--
483
00:18:54,307 --> 00:18:58,093
here to here, shorter there,
planted, and then off.
484
00:18:58,224 --> 00:18:59,355
And, who knows?
485
00:18:59,486 --> 00:19:00,356
I mean, this rock
could have broken
486
00:19:00,487 --> 00:19:01,879
apart millions of years ago.
487
00:19:02,010 --> 00:19:05,448
But you've got one right
here and one right there.
488
00:19:05,579 --> 00:19:09,496
And, oh, my gosh, we actually
came across dinosaur tracks.
489
00:19:09,626 --> 00:19:11,411
Now, this was
objective number one--
490
00:19:11,541 --> 00:19:12,499
find dinosaur tracks.
491
00:19:12,629 --> 00:19:13,848
Well, we found 'em.
492
00:19:13,978 --> 00:19:15,632
The good news is
that we still have
493
00:19:15,763 --> 00:19:18,113
a couple hours out here in the
desert, and we have those RZRs.
494
00:19:18,244 --> 00:19:22,683
So objective number two is going
to be to head to the sand dunes
495
00:19:22,813 --> 00:19:24,250
and really have some fun.
496
00:19:24,380 --> 00:19:25,512
I hope you guys
are ready, 'cause
497
00:19:25,642 --> 00:19:28,079
this is gonna be awesome.
498
00:19:30,299 --> 00:19:31,996
Woo!
499
00:19:32,127 --> 00:19:33,041
What up?
500
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,085
What did you think, man?
501
00:19:34,216 --> 00:19:34,956
We brought you out in the field.
502
00:19:35,086 --> 00:19:35,913
I know.
503
00:19:36,044 --> 00:19:37,611
This is frickin' awesome.
504
00:19:37,741 --> 00:19:38,873
I mean, dude,
could you have--
505
00:19:39,003 --> 00:19:40,266
This is killer.
506
00:19:40,396 --> 00:19:41,310
- picked a better
trip to come along with?
507
00:19:41,441 --> 00:19:42,442
Jeez.
- I'll tell you, yeah.
508
00:19:42,572 --> 00:19:43,617
My-- the walls in
the editing bay
509
00:19:43,747 --> 00:19:44,879
do not look like
these mountains.
510
00:19:45,923 --> 00:19:47,925
It is amazing out here.
511
00:20:09,033 --> 00:20:10,905
Woo-hoo!
512
00:20:26,703 --> 00:20:27,487
Yup!
513
00:20:27,617 --> 00:20:29,228
I'm stuck!
514
00:20:38,585 --> 00:20:43,242
Look out!
515
00:20:43,372 --> 00:20:44,634
Woo-hoo!
516
00:20:44,765 --> 00:20:46,723
That's what I'm talking
about, right there.
517
00:20:53,991 --> 00:20:55,254
I don't know if
I got the whole flip,
518
00:20:55,384 --> 00:20:56,342
but that was gnarly.
519
00:20:56,472 --> 00:20:57,299
Ouch.
520
00:21:00,389 --> 00:21:02,826
You all right?
521
00:21:02,957 --> 00:21:11,182
Well, guys, rule number
one if you flip a RZR,
522
00:21:11,313 --> 00:21:13,402
is always to keep
your arms inside.
523
00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:16,666
Thankfully, I'm walking
away from yet another one.
524
00:21:16,797 --> 00:21:17,711
Aw, man.
525
00:21:20,714 --> 00:21:22,455
I was barely even turning.
526
00:21:22,585 --> 00:21:24,152
I don't know how
that thing flipped.
527
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,642
But it, uh-- yeah, I flipped it.
528
00:21:35,772 --> 00:21:38,471
You know, if I'm not
falling off of a cliff
529
00:21:38,601 --> 00:21:40,168
I'm flipping a vehicle.
530
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:42,779
That's why we just usually
don't let me do these things.
531
00:21:42,910 --> 00:21:46,609
The good lesson here
is that if you do roll a machine
532
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:49,133
like this, you just hold
onto the steering wheel,
533
00:21:49,264 --> 00:21:50,352
keep your hands inside.
534
00:21:50,483 --> 00:21:51,745
You're always wearing
your seat belt,
535
00:21:51,875 --> 00:21:53,616
always wearing the helmet.
536
00:21:53,747 --> 00:21:56,837
So far, I'm walking away from
this one completely unscathed.
537
00:21:56,967 --> 00:22:00,275
My back and neck might be a
little sore tomorrow, but no
538
00:22:00,406 --> 00:22:02,625
broken bones, no stitches.
539
00:22:02,756 --> 00:22:04,584
We're having to
bungee cord the door
540
00:22:04,714 --> 00:22:07,717
shut, 'cause that's broken.
541
00:22:07,848 --> 00:22:09,589
I cracked the top of it.
542
00:22:09,719 --> 00:22:11,242
And, unfortunately,
I may have just
543
00:22:11,373 --> 00:22:13,419
bought the "Brave
Wilderness" team
544
00:22:13,549 --> 00:22:17,684
a RZR, because this is going
to be an expensive one to fix.
545
00:22:17,814 --> 00:22:19,425
My bad.
546
00:22:19,555 --> 00:22:20,295
Woo!
547
00:22:20,426 --> 00:22:21,601
All right, Coyote.
548
00:22:21,731 --> 00:22:23,298
Well, that's one way
to do it in Utah.
549
00:22:23,429 --> 00:22:24,734
Yeah.
550
00:22:24,865 --> 00:22:27,041
I'd say he was an
extremely successful day.
551
00:22:27,171 --> 00:22:28,564
We found dinosaur tracks.
552
00:22:28,695 --> 00:22:29,739
That was awesome.
553
00:22:29,870 --> 00:22:31,262
Then we came out
here to the dunes
554
00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:33,569
to rip up the sand
with our RZRs,
555
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:35,005
and I kind of rolled mine.
556
00:22:35,136 --> 00:22:38,400
But the good news is no
cuts, no broken bones,
557
00:22:38,531 --> 00:22:40,968
and yet again I walk away
from another "Breaking Trail"
558
00:22:41,098 --> 00:22:42,535
mishap.
559
00:22:42,665 --> 00:22:45,668
All I can say is that
Utah is unbelievably epic.
560
00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,149
Yes, sir!
561
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:49,542
I'm Coyote Peterson.
562
00:22:49,672 --> 00:22:54,634
Be brave, stay wild,
always wear your helmet.
563
00:22:54,764 --> 00:22:56,810
Ah.
564
00:22:56,940 --> 00:22:58,594
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
565
00:22:58,725 --> 00:22:59,595
Here we go!
566
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,691
Eh, buckle up!
567
00:23:12,303 --> 00:23:13,870
Woo!
