The show starts off with a family of Tyrannosaurus rex swimming in Montana. Who would've thought that they'd see one of the biggest and most vicious predators of all time swimming? Well, really, elephants can swim. However, they're not alone. A mosasaur is lurking in the depths below... Finally, the family arrive on a tropical island, where the father feasts on a sea turtle. The surviving youngsters would like some, but this meal is reserved for Dad. Luckily, one of them has found a baby sea turtle. Not so fast! Your brother stole it. Feeling vengeful, are you?
In Morocco, pterosaurs congregate to feed on fish. Be careful, Tethydraco hatchling! You don't want to go too far away from Mom. Phosphatodraco patrol through the beaches, looking for unsuspecting victims. Meanwhile on the cliffs, Alcione hatchlings must make the perilous voyage across the open ocean and into the misty forests of the mainland. Watch out for Barbaridactylus! In the end, a few survived. They'll stay in the forests for the next five years.
In Zealandia, tuarangisaurs are migrating. They're looking for pebbles to act as grindstones. A calf is taking its time to find one that is just the right size. Luckily, it manages to do so.
In Europe, a male mosasaur is getting its teeth cleaned. His skin has turned red, which means he's looking for a girlfriend. For now, though, he is just basking in the sun, minding his day... Boom! And just like that, a rival mosasaur attacks. The fight is brutal, but the older male has prevailed and can get back to getting cleaned.
Bioluminescent ammonites... Who would've thought? Normally they're looking for plankton, but now they'd love a mate. Couples entwine and create light displays with the hope for the male to be accepted by the female. The lucky couples then fertilize the eggs.
The tuarangisaurs are back. Now, they're looking for fish. In the middle of it all, a female is swimming tiredly. A Kaikaifilu suddenly interrupts regular programming and closes in on the tuarangisaurs. After a long and brutal fight, the victorious female gives birth! What a day for the tuarangisaur pod. The newborn calf will live for around 80 years and nurture the next generation.
