[Dana] "Terror Birds."

♪ ♪

Officer!

I need your help.

What happened? Are you okay?

I've been terrorized.

-What? -My experiment failed.

Or succeeded too well.

Experiment?

They stole it.

Did someone take something from you?

Yes, a Terror Bird.

Someone stole your Terror Bird?

No, Terror Birds stole the unicorn and my backpack.

Hurry, we don't have a lot of time!

Whoa, what happened here?

-Titanis. -Say again?

Titanis.

It's the largest of the Terror Birds.

They're giant birds that came after the dinosaurs.

I'd show you in my field guide

but that's gone now too.

Okay, listen.

Why don't you start from the beginning?

I was performing dino experiment 716.

I was using my-

Wait, you perform dino experiments?

All the time.

Best way to learn about dinosaurs

and other prehistoric creatures.

What's your name?

Dana.

Continue your story, Dana.

Like I said.

I was performing dino experiment 716,

how did Terror Birds hunt.

I was using my unicorn because scientists think

that Terror Birds used to hunt horses

but I don't have a stuffed horse.

Hold on, so, there were birds that used to eat horses?

Yes.

Terror Birds like Titanis are taller than you

and weighed as much as an ostrich.

Woof, they sound scary.

I know, which is why I was so frustrating

that I couldn't get one to show up.

So I attached the straps of my backpack to my unicorn

so I can make it look more alive from a safe distance.

Neigh!

The Titanis came out of nowhere.

[squawks]

[laughs]

They call them Terror Birds because they have massive beaks

and powerful claws on their feet.

Scientists think their beaks were strong enough

to snap a bone in half.

[squawks]

Now, I know what you're thinking.

Dino Experiment 716 solved.

Well...

Except I only saw how it used its massive beak to attack.

I still had to see if it used its powerful claws.

True.

Unfortunately, my back pack was still attached to Titanis.

[screaming]

I tried to hold on for as long as I could

but eventually the strap ripped off

and Titanis ran away

which is when I decided to go find help.

Sounds like you have had a rough morning.

Science isn't meant to be easy.

You think you can help me get my backpack back

and finish my dino experiment?

We're here to serve.

Now, do you know which direction the Terror Bird went in?

It was a bit of a blur

because I was being dragged across the grass

so my face was mostly in the dirt.

Okay, we're going to have to search for clues

as to which direction it went in.

Clues like footprints.

Except you can't see footprints in grass.

Well, it's not just footprints that can show you

which direction someone went in.

What happens when you run through trees

and branches in the woods?

They snap off or break.

Exactly.

Which means she went that way.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Another snapped branch.

And another.

I think we're closing in.

So, tell me, Dana.

Why do you like dinosaurs so much?

There's so many reasons.

But I think it's mostly because

we haven't discovered everything yet.

Snapped stick.

Every year, more and more dinosaurs are found

or our ideas about them change.

My dream is to one day discover a brand-new dinosaur

and get to name it.

-Wouldn't that be amazing? -You sound like my sons.

-[radio] Officer Henderson. -[distant squawk]

-Did you hear that? -That's just my walkie.

Just give me a second.

[radio] Come in Officer Henderson.

Go for Officer Henderson.

My backpack!

Now's my chance.

[gasps]

[squawks]

Claws off, Titanis!

[squawks]

[grunting efforts]

[squawks]

Dino Experiment 716 update.

Titanis also used its huge powerful claws

to rip open it's prey.

And my backpack.

[sighs]

[Officer] Dana?

Over here.

What happened?

Major discovery.

Titanis didn't just use its beak to hunt.

It also used it's four sharp claws.

Where did you get this?

My dino field guide?

My friends Dan and Trek gave it to me.

You know Dan and Trek?

We're fellow scientists.

They're my sons.

I made this for them when they were missing their dad.

You're Dan and Trek's mom?

You helped them solve so many dino experiments.

Now you're helping me.

This is the best day ever.

Oh, well don't we still have a dino experiment to finish?

You're right. Back to science.

We know Titanis used its beak and claws to hunt

but did it use anything else?

Also, we need to get my backpack back

or else my dad will be really upset.

He made it for me.

Well, when police need help on a case

they usually call for backup.

Good idea.

Do you have a paleontologist in the police department?

No, but I do know a dino expert.

Hey mom, what's up?

Hey Hun, I met someone I think you might know.

Dan!

I didn't know your mom made the dino field guide.

She did. But I chose the stickers.

Good choices.

Dan, we need your help.

We're tracking the Titanis.

-Terror Bird. -Exactly.

We're trying to solve how it hunted

but it's too fast for us to keep up with it.

Whenever I couldn't keep up with a dinosaur

I'd think of a way to slow it down.

But the only thing that it slows down for is food.

Do you have any beef jerky?

Not anymore.

It as all in my backpack, which it stole.

Well, I do.

The boys were always asking for it

so it kind of became my go to snack.

[Dan] Nice one, Mom.

Good luck finishing the rest of your experiment, Dana.

Thanks Dan. Come on.

I've got a plan.

Dino experiment 716 is complete.

Titanis didn't just use its massive beak

It would also shake its prey with it's powerful neck.

Thank you so much for your help, Officer Henderson.

You're welcome, Dana.

And thank you so much for making the dino field guide.

I've had so many amazing adventures because of it.

Well, I'm so glad it ended up with you.

Come on. Honk back Corythosaurus.

Dana!

Yes, mom?

I mean, yes mom?

What are you doing?

I'm conducting Dino Experiment 703,

why do Corythosaurus honk?

I mean what are you supposed to be doing?

Putting away the groceries?

Exactly.

Thank you.

Do you want to guess what the Corythosaurus name means?

-Uh... -Helmet lizard!

Sorry, I got too excited.

Do you want to guess why they're called helmet lizard?

Uh, because they look like

they're wearing a helmet on their head?

Ding, ding, ding. Good guess, mom.

Did you want to guess what the helmet does?

I'll give you a hint.

Let me guess. Honks.

Exactly.

Corythosaurus are herbivores

who had these big crests

on top of their head that paleontologists think

could make huge noises

but the question is why do they honk?

Well, good luck figuring that out

after you finish putting these away.

Ugh. I don't see the salad stuff here.

I must have left it in the minivan.

Don't worry, mom. I'll get it.

Thanks, nugget.

I think Dexter's ready for his nap.

Maybe I'll take one with him.

[grumbling]

Whoa, Corythosaurus.

What are you doing?

[honks]

Incredible.

Paleontologists were right.

You can make huge noises.

[honks]

But why are you making huge noises?

You did. But why?

Just a second, mom!

Now I've learned that Corythosaurus honk

when they find food and honk to warn each other

when danger is around.

So, your dino experiment's complete.

Unless you can think of another reason

that animals would make loud noises.

I guess the only other reason I can think of

is when animals try to prove to each other

who's strongest so they can be the leader?

Really?

Or, it's just the other two.

By the way, did you bring the salad stuff in from the van?

I forgot.

Science got in the way but I'll go do it right now.

Thanks.

Just try and be quiet while you do it.
