What is happening?

You're alright, Dad.

You just fainted for a second.

We're almost there, Aman. Ow, ow, ow!

-Owww! -Ahhh!

Why don't I help push Dad for a bit?

Yeah, come on, Mom.

[Dad] Hello? Hi!

Hi, I'm Eva.

I mean we're Eva.

That's Eva.

We called ahead and we're having a baby.

I can't breathe.

Mrs. and Mr. Jain.

Follow me.

It's going to be alright.

I've got you in a room just over here.

Keep breathing. You're doing great.

Hey, why don't you two

wait in the waiting room

while we get your parents set up?

We'll come get you in a... second.

Ooh. Ah.

Everything will be okay, Dana.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Seester promise.

Come on.

Are you still nervous?

Why don't we think about something else,

get our minds off of this for a while?

What else should we think about?

Um...

Why don't you tell me

how dinosaurs have their babies?

Really?

Uh huh.

Well, for one thing,

dinosaurs didn't have live babies like people do.

They had their babies in eggs.

I knew that.

But did you know that each dino

laid their eggs a little differently?

Really? Why?

Well, there's a lot of theories.

Sounds like a dino experiment to me.

Dino Experiment ABC.

I prefer to use numbers.

Okay, um...

Dino Experiment 626.

I've used that number already.

Alright.

Dino Experiment 1000:

"How do different dinosaurs lay their eggs?"

"How do different dinosaurs lay their eggs?" Test number one,

Test number one,

the Brachiosaurus.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[Brachiosaurus grunts]

[grunts]

Ouch.

What was that about?

Paleontologists have discovered fossilized Brachiosaurus eggs

in long lines like this.

Their theory is that Brachiosaurs

would have laid their eggs while they were walking.

They couldn't think of a better way

to get their eggs to the ground?

-Well, it's better than... -[crunch]

...that.

Brachiosaurus are some of the largest creatures

that ever existed.

They're way too huge to--

See where they're stepping?

Correct. They also couldn't

sit on their eggs like chickens,

so laying their eggs this way

gave the baby Brachiosaurus

their best chance at survival.

[dinosaur squawking]

[snarling]

[snarling] [squawking & snarling]

[squawking & snarling]

Something tells me

we're going to have to survive that next.

You're right.

Baby Brachiosaurus would make a nice snack

Baby Brachiosaurus would make a nice snack for a hungry Troodon.

for a hungry Troodon.

Lucky for us our dino-parents are still close by.

What do you mean, "no"?

They're not going to turn around and help us?

So we're on our own?

Not exactly.

Mama Brachiosaurus!

Come back here!

Come back here! There's a Troodon trying to eat us.

There's a Troodon trying to eat us.

There's a Troodon trying to eat us. Come back!

Come back!

She's really not coming back, is she?

Nope.

[dinosaur squawks & snarls]

[squawking]

Dana, what are we going to do?

We're not as massive as our parents.

Don't worry, Saara.

Everything is going to be okay.

Seester promise.

But how am I going to defend myself?

You don't have to defend yourself.

You don't have to defend yourself. [squawking]

Thanks, seester!

But look... There's two more Troodon!

[both squawking]

There might be two of them,

but there's way more of us.

[babies squawking]

[both squawking]

Come on, Seester!

Roar!

[Saara] Roar!

[dinosaurs all squawking]

[gasps] We did it!

[quietly] Um...

I mean, "We did it."

Yep. Paleontologists believe Brachiosaurus babies

may have formed little mini herds

so they could help defend each other.

Safety in numbers.

I like it. [laughs]

Kind of like how we seesters

always look out for each other.

Exactly.

-[knocking] -[both gasp]

Girls, we're ready for you. Come on in.

[breathing deeply]

Look who I found.

Hey, there's my girls.

-Mom! -How are you feeling?

Oh, like I'm having the worst stomach ache of all time.

But it'll all be worth it if I get to

have another kid like you two.

-Oh! -Another contraction?

[breathing heavily]

What's a contraction?

A contraction

is when Mom's muscles

are starting to squeeze the baby out.

Oh, sorry.

-[sighs] -It's fine, honey.

The feeling will come back eventually.

Oh, there's my baby girl.

-How are you feeling? -Oh, it hurts, Mom.

Oh, I know it does, sweetheart.

Aman, why don't you take the girls

to the waiting room, let everyone get some air?

-Actually, I was going to-- -Don't worry, Aman.

I've got everything under control.

Sure. Sure.

Come on, girls. I'll just be outside for a bit, hon.

When's the last time the doctor was here?

-An hour. -An hour?!

Well, that's too long. I'll go talk to him.

Good to have your grandma here.

[Dana] You know,

Troodon had a different way

of laying their eggs too.

You mean the dinosaur that just tried to eat us?

Yep. Troodon babies

would never be able to hatch

if they didn't get help from this

if they didn't get help from this very important family member.

very important family member.

very important family member. Who was it?

Who was it?

Oh.

Why is it so dark?

Oh, and hot?

Like chickens, some dino babies

needed one of their parents to sit on their egg

so they could stay warm and keep growing inside.

But I thought you said dinosaurs

were too big to sit on their eggs.

Some dinosaurs, like the Brachiosaurus,

were too big,

but the Troodon were the perfect size.

Wait,

so who's sitting on us?

Yeah, who was it?

Yeah, who was it? Let's find out.

Let's find out.

[Saara] Dad?

There's my girls.

[Saara] Dad?

Me?

[Dana] Yep!

Paleontologists found fossilized male Troodon bones

sitting on a nest of eggs.

Their theory is that Troodon dads

would have looked after the eggs and babies

until they were ready to take care of themselves.

They needed their dads, huh?

-[Saara giggles] -Absolutely.

Especially with so many predators around.

Predators?

Unlike baby Brachiosaurus,

who form little mini herds to protect themselves,

it was up to the Troodon dad alone

to protect his babies.

[Saara] Don't worry, Dad.

Look at those claws.

No ones going to get you.

No ones going to get you. [dinosaur roars]

[dinosaur roars]

Okay, maybe that one.

Well, I'd happily do anything

to protect the two of you.

to protect the two of you. Except it's not just the two of us.

Except it's not just the two of us.

What do you mean not just the two of you?

The nest paleontologists found the fossilized Troodon bones on

had over 30 eggs in it.

[Saara & Dad] Thirty?!

In prehistoric times, the more babies you had,

the better chance you'd have

that some of them would survive.

Huh. Dino times were rough.

I know. Especially for the dino parents.

Yeah, I see you. Hello. Hello, you--

-Dana, that one's getting away! -Oh! On it!

And Saara, help that little guy out of its shell.

What?

That one! Needs help! Shell!

[Saara] I can't hear you!

I said...

[dinosaur roars]

Oh, that... that can't be good.

Dad, what do we do?

How should I know? You're the dino expert.

Yeah, but you're the... dad.

You're right.

And dads take care of the kids.

Okay, everyone get down.

Okay.

Now what?

I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

Just remember, Dad: you have huge claws.

Yes, I do!

[roars]

It's got bigger claws.

[Dana] That's the Spinosaurus.

It's the largest meat-eating dinosaur

ever discovered.

[whimpers] It's getting closer!

Okay, listen.

I know you're scared.

So am I.

But we're in this together, right?

[all squeaking]

Now, that thing might be huge and scary.

It's got long claws and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

[roars]

And it's got a super-loud roar.

But you know one thing it doesn't have?

A dad who loves them.

Now, run!

Go! Go!

Hey!

Over here!

Over here! "Chase me! Chase me!"

"Chase me! Chase me!"

Smart thinking, Dad.

I figured that Spino guy

couldn't chase after all of us.

And you were right.

Part of the reason dinosaurs had so many babies

was to guarantee at least some of them would survive.

Congratulations,

you're officially our number-one Troodon dad.

I think there's one more baby

that might need some Troodon dad attention.

[sighs]

Looks like your dad's got it now.

Um, we could use your help, Grandma.

To help with the dino experiment!

Right, Dana?

[Dana] Right.

The Maiasaura has a different way

of laying their eggs too.

I'm not really interested in a dino story, Dana.

Oh, I think you're going to like this one.

[breathless] What... was...

that... about?

What was what about?

All this dirt.

I cracked out of my egg,

and then I had to crawl up through all of this.

and then I had to crawl up through all of this. Oh! Remember how I said

Oh! Remember how I said

Troodon sat on their eggs so their eggs

could stay warm and keep growing inside?

[spits]

Yes.

[Dana] Maiasaura couldn't.

They were too big.

So instead, they covered their eggs in dirt

to keep them warm.

[dinosaur snarls]

The Spinosaurus is back!

Looks like we're going to have to start running again.

Oh. Waaa!

What happened?

Fossils of baby Maiasaura show paleontologists

that when they hatched out of their eggs,

their legs weren't fully working.

What?!

So we can't run?

Nope.

-So we're doomed. -Sounds like it.

Think it through, Saara.

Well, if the parents were too big

to sit on their eggs,

then does that mean they just left them

to fend for themselves like Brachiosaurus did?

No... but you're getting warmer.

Oh, so their dads take care of them, like Troodon.

Warmer.

Well, if the parents didn't leave

Well, if the parents didn't leave and the dads did look after them,

and the dads did look after them,

who else did? The moms?

So warm, you're hot.

The name "Maiasaura"

even means "good mother reptile".

So if the moms and dads

did look after them,

who else is there?

[roars]

[Saara] Looks like Mom and Dad are here.

Finally!

[Spinosaurus roars]

But the Spinosaurus isn't stopping!

Nope. The Spinosaurus

could easily take on two adult Maiasaura.

[Grandma] What about three?

[Grandma] What about three? [gasps] Grandma?

[gasps] Grandma?

More like Grandma Maiasaura.

[laughs]

Maiasaura didn't have many defenses,

so instead they lived in massive herds,

which meant that moms and dads and grandpas

and grandmas

worked together to keep their babies

safe and protected.

In fact, paleontologists think their herds

In fact, paleontologists think their herds might have had thousands of Maiasaura in them.

might have had thousands of Maiasaura in them.

Thousands?

Uh huh.

[Grandma] Well...

how about we go deal with that pesky Spinosaurus?

[roars]

[Grandma] You want to roar?

I'll give you a roar.

Roar!

-Yay, Grandma Maiasaura! -[laughs] Good job, Grandma!

[Grandma laughs]

[chuckles]

I like Maiasaura.

So do I.

Me too.

[Grandma] Oh.

I'm going to go see if your mom and dad

need a little Grandma Maiasaura support. [chuckles]

[door clicks & squeaks]

How are you two holding up?

Good.

Would you like me to help?

Yes. Please.

You're both doing so well.

Oh, here comes another one!

Deep breath.

Wakey, wakey.

Do you want to come meet the newest member of our family?

[whispering] I'll check back in a few minutes.

[Mom, quietly] Hi, girls. There's someone here

who'd like to say hello to you.

-Hello. -Hi, baby.

I'm your big seester Saara.

And I'm your...

big seester too.

[family chuckles]

They're going to look out for you.

Yes, we are.

So am I.

Me too.

[Dana] Seester promise.

I think Dexter likes that.

Dexter?

Wait, we have a...

-...brother? -Brother!

[Dana] Aww.

-Dexy, you're so cute. -We love you, baby.
