Why's your sister face down in the yard?

I'm going to guess dino experiment.

Dana, what are you doing?

I'm trying to ride a Hippodraco.

A hippo what now? What's that?

A dinosaur.

A dinosaur.

Why are you trying to ride a dinosaur?

So I can say that I have.

Hold on. We'll be right out.

We?

Yes, we.

You've been inside all day on your phone.

Fine.

Just let me finish this text.

[Grandma] Dana, you're filthy.

[Dana and Saara] Science can be messy.

Stop that, Saara, it's weird.

I'm not the one trying to ride a hippo.

I'm not trying to ride a hippo.

I'm trying to ride a Hippodraco.

Sure. Totally less weird.

What exactly is a Hippodraco?

I was hoping you'd ask.

Hippodraco's name means horse dragon because it...

Wait. There's a horse dinosaur?

Yes. I love horses.

How did I not know about this?

Probably because it was only recently discovered.

Paleontologists found parts of it's bones in 2014.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me why they call it a horse.

Just look at it's head.

Notice anything?

Oh, horsie.

Exactly.

Hippodraco had a long, low skull.

Just like a horsie.

They are very similar.

But that doesn't help me solve dino experiment 625,

what does it feel like to ride Hippodraco?

Or maybe it does.

Grandma, you rode horses when you were a kid.

[Grandma] Yes.

Well, if Hippodraco is just like a horse

then maybe if you teach us how to ride a horse

it would help Dana figure out how to ride her dino.

Great idea, Saara.

Yes, but I haven't ridden in years.

You've been inside all day long.

Well the first step to riding a horse is the mounting.

Now Saara, because you're a lot smaller than Sherman,

we're going to use a mounting block

to help get you up.

We're going to mount

from the left side.

Now? Yes.

Oh, I'm so excited.

That's great, but you'll want to stay calm.

You don't want to startle your horse.

I'm so excited.

That's better.

Now, you put your left foot in the left stirrup.

This?

Yes and pull your body up using the saddle.

Now hug your horse.

No, I mean hug the horse with your legs

Oh.

Huh, I did it. I'm up.

Good job, Saara.

♪ ♪

But how would you mount a horse without a saddle?

Well, without a saddle,

you'd want to put both hands on the horses back,

then jump up

as you flip your legs over.

Grandma, less talking, more riding.

Sure, let's learn how to hold the reins first.

Can I borrow this, Grandma?

Oh really? Yes, really.

Nocturnal dinosaurs are only awake at night.

I'll happily sacrifice my bedtime

Nice try. Go to sleep, Dana.

But Dad! Sh!

Your mom's asleep

and you're lucky Sara's away at a sleep over

or she'd be super mad if you were keeping her up right now.

That's why I chose tonight to finish my dino experiment.

Can I please have two more hours?

What? Or ten more minutes?

Nixon really wants you to let me.

[dog barks]

Do you, Nixon?

Okay, here's the deal.

You can stay up

as long as it takes me to get ready for bed.

I'll be quiet and thanks, Dad.

You won't be disappointed with my results.

Great.

Yep, go back to sleep honey. I'll be right there.

All I have left to do is brush my teeth

and then it's bed time for you.

[yawns] and me.

Where's my toothbrush?

I borrowed it.

Why didn't you use yours?

Better question.

Why are some animals nocturnal?

Maybe because they don't want their parents

telling them when to go to bed.

Dad.

Or probably some animals are nocturnal to find food.

Who doesn't love a midnight snack?

What do you mean?

[sighs] Okay.

Alright.

Let's see... Yeah.

It says here some animals, like mice, are nocturnal

because it's easier for them to find food at night

when there are fewer predators around.

Fewer predators?

Does that mean some predators are nocturnal?

[Dad] Yeah, predators like owls hunt at night

because that's when their prey is awake.

Oof, poor mice.

Look at that sucker's face.

Big eyes to help them see better in the dark.

I wonder if that's the same for dinosaurs.

Well, why don't you sleep on it

and we'll talk more in the morning?

Nugget, I'm coming off a 12-hour shift.

Goodnight, nugget.

Goodnight.

Well, Nixon.

Wouldn't you be

if your dino experiment kept failing

and you're forced to go to sleep before you can solve it?

Oh, Nixon.

I think I've been more than fair

especially since someone

was supposed to be asleep hours ago

and she'll have plenty of time tomorrow

to finish her dino experiment.

Nixon, would you please tell Dad

that I can't do my dino experiment in the day time

because nocturnal dinosaurs

don't come out when it's light out.

Nixon, then can you ask Dana

if nocturnal dinos don't come out when it's light out,

why she left the lights on around all her traps?

[gasps]

I've been doing it all wrong.

Wait, are you talking to me or Nixon?

You. You're a genius.

The reason I haven't trapped a nocturnal dinosaur

is that I've been setting the traps

in places where the lights are on.

I need to set them in complete darkness,

but you know what Dad, don't worry about it.

Good night.

Oh, mind games.

You think that if I think

you don't want to finish the experiment

then I'll let you.

That's not it. Night, Dad. Love you.

Okay, love you too.

Do you want the night light on or off?

On!

Wait, are you not finishing your dino experiment

because you're afraid of the dark?

No.

Yes.

Dana what did I do when I was afraid of seagulls?

Fed one.

Yes. And what happened?

It ate all your French fries.

Exactly, I faced my fear

and I learned that you should be afraid of them.

Not because they're scary but because they're thieves.
