Oh, dear. That's disgusting.

No.

That's a black rat snake.

It says here they got their name because of their colour

and what they eat.

It eats rats?

Yep, and frogs and birds.

Yeah, like I said: disgusting.

And we're moving.

Oh, well, now this little fellow's a lot cuter.

This is a red-footed turtle.

They got their name because--

Well, because of all the little red spots

all over his arms and legs.

Hey, little guy.

And what does he eat?

Snails, insects,

and veggies.

Snails and insects?

Oh, no way.

Melissa Jessica would never forgive me.

Okay. And we're moving.

Okay...

Who is this monster?

Ms. Currie, this is the bearded dragon.

I'm sorry, Dana.

Reptiles just aren't my thing.

They're just so cold and slimy-looking.

I think just the opposite.

Reptiles are some of the most interesting animals

on the planet.

Well, that makes you the perfect person

to help me to choose one to adopt for my little Trekkie,

but just not this one.

It looks like a nightmare.

And we're--

- Moving? - Exactly.

Oh, well, now why would Trekkie want a reptile

when he could have this pretty birdy?

[Penelope] Can I help you find something?

- Penelope! - Trek's Grandma!

I didn't know you were back from school.

I'm working here for the summer.

Oh, my goodness! Aww.

Hey, Dana, this is Penelope.

She's Trek's best friend.

ThePenelope?

Um, I guess so. [chuckles]

Well, that was odd.

It's a song Trek and I wrote.

[Dana] "A song"?

It's the greatest song of all time.

Trek recorded it in his dino field guide.

- Aww. - Wait.

Penelope is the perfect person to help us choose

which reptile to adopt for Trek.

Really?

Well, Trek asked you to choose a reptile

that's most like a dinosaur, right?

Right.

Who better to help us

I do know a lot about reptiles.

I'd be happy to help.

Why don't we start with a tour of our reptile zoo?

[gasps] You have a reptile zoo?

[Ms. Currie] Oh, good, so there'll be, like,

even more snakes there? Yeah.

[bird squawks]

Ms. Currie, hurry.

Check out how huge these turtles are.

Wow!

Actually, these are tortoises,

not turtles.

[Dana] What's the difference?

Tortoises live on land and turtles live in the water

some or nearly all the time.

But is it like a dinosaur?

[Dana] Well, their shells do remind me

of the Archelon.

[Ms. Currie] Mm-hmm?

The Archelon was a giant turtle, right?

The giantest.

And its name means "ruler turtle",

because it's the biggest sea turtle

that's ever been discovered.

This is it.

♪ ♪

So, turtles arelike dinosaurs?

No, the Archelon was a prehistoric reptile

that lived at the same time as dinosaurs,

but they're not related.

Oh. Well, so the turtle

is not the right reptile for Trekkie.

And we're moving.

Okay. Bye. Take care.

At least they're not snakes.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Why are there people in there?

We're here just in time for alligator feeding.

Oh. Ha ha! Yeah, lucky us.

Look at all those teeth.

[Penelope] Alligators and crocodiles

can have about 80 teeth in their mouth.

Most people only have 32.

Mm.

That's incredible!

Unless you're a fish. [chuckles]

But is it like a dinosaur?

They do look like the Deinosuchus.

[animal snarls]

♪ ♪

Deinosuchus was a huge crocodile, right?

The hugest.

And its name means "terrible crocodile",

because it was the biggest crocodile of all time.

♪ ♪

[Ms. Currie] But are crocodiles like dinosaurs?

No. Just like the Archelon,

Deinosuchus was a prehistoric reptile.

Oh.

But they probably ate dinosaurs.

But that doesn't help us very much, does it?

Don't worry, Trek's Grandma.

I've still got one more big exhibit to show you.

Oh, goodie.

And we're moving.

[Ms. Currie] Yes, we're moving.

[snarls]

And we're still moving.

[Dana] But, Ms. Currie...

Snakes might be the reptile that's most like a dinosaur.

But it's so icky and scary

and disgusting-looking.

Look what it's doing with its tongue!

Snakes like this python use their tongue

to taste the air.

It's one of the ways they find their food.

How big is she?

She's one of the longest snakes on the planet.

If you stretched her out, she'd be as long as two cars.

But is it like a dinosaur?

[whispering] Please say no!

Well, they're not as long as the Titanoboa.

[snake hissing]

♪ ♪

Titanoboa was a massive snake, right?

The massivest.

Titanoboa's name means "titanic boa",

because it's the longest snake of all time.

[Titanoboa hissing]

♪ ♪

[Ms. Currie] So, snakes are like dinosaurs?

[Dana] Sadly, no.

Just like the Deinosuchus and the Archelon,

the Titanoboa was a prehistoric reptile,

not a dinosaur.

Sorry, Ms. Currie.

Oh. Well, I can't say I'm disappointed.

But I do feel bad that I'm letting my Trekkie down.

Maybe, instead of adopting an animal for Trek,

you can show him how hard you tried

by conquering one of your fears.

Okay, I don't think I like where this is going at all.

How about we take a picture with our boa constrictor

to send to Trek?

I think I'm fine with just letting him down.

Ms. Currie.

Do it for Trek.

Okay. Fine.

Don't let him constrict me.

I'll take the tail. She's got the head.

You're asking a lot here.

Oh... Ah-ah-ah... Ha.

Oh.

It's actually not as icky as I thought.

It's actually kind of smooth.

So, you like reptiles now?

No, not really,

but I think they definitely are

some of the most interesting animals on the planet.

[Penelope] Okay, everyone get ready.

[camera shutter clicks]

Alright. Let's get this guy off of me.

Ah! Okay.

Alright.

[exhales] Okay.

Thank you.

[Ms. Currie sighs] Ahh... Eh...

Well, no luck in finding the most dinosaur-like animal

to adopt for Trek, but thank you for trying.

You know, I guess I just should've paid more attention

to Trekkie's dino experiments like how dinos live

and what they eat, how they became birds...

Wait.

Birds are like dinosaurs.

They sure are.

Yeah, but birds aren't reptiles,

and Trekkie wants a reptile that is like a dinosaur.

[Penelope] Actually, birds are reptiles.

Even though they look different,

birds are most closely related

to alligators and crocodiles.

[bird squawking]

Well, what do you know!

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, it's Trekkie.

Hi, Trekster!

Hey, Grandma. Did you just send me a picture

of you with a snake around your neck?

[laughs]

Yes, I did, and I did it for you.

Thanks, Grandma.

I know that couldn't have been easy for you.

[laughs]

Wait. Are you with Dana and Penelope?

Yes.

- Hi! - Hey, Trek.

Hi, Dana. Hi, Penelope.

[Ms. Currie] They were helping me choose

which reptile was most like a dinosaur

to adopt for you...

and I have chosen...

...parrot.

What a perfect choice, Grandma.

Thank you so much!

You're welcome, Trekkie. [chuckles]

And... we're adopting.

Okay, you. I'll be right back.

Really? Yeah.

Look, this bird is the Laysan albatross.

Sometimes two females will take care of their young together.

came from dinosaurs,

some dino females would do the same thing?

Why not?

I'm going to go test your theory.
