Dino Dana Reptile Connection/Three Dinos and a Baby (2017– ) Online

Ms. Currie has asked Dana to help her adopt a reptile for Trek at a local Reptile Zoo/pet store. Dana is thrilled to help and uses the opportunity to compare modern day reptiles to the Archelon, Deinosuchus and Titanoboa. /Dana is too busy doing a dino experiment about how Edmontosaurus take care of their babies to take care of Nixon but observing how the herd takes care of their baby provides Dana with some valuable insights about her own family.

The non-venomous black rat snake uses its climbing and swimming skills to prey on frogs, rodents, small birds and bird eggs.

The red-footed tortoise is known to rest for more than half a day, barely moving; it will rest even longer after a big meal.

The term "bearded dragon" can refer to one of nine lizard species that are able to inflate and darken their throat area as a display of aggression or mating.

The Archelon was one of the largest turtles that ever existed, measuring up to 13 feet in length and 16 feet across the span of its outstretched flippers.

Paleontologists believe that the Archelon had a very long life span, like modern tortoises, living an average of 100 years.

Archelon means "Ruling Turtle."

Deinosuchus is Greek for "terrible crocodile," which aptly describes this predator that could grow to be 33 feet long and weigh up to 6 tons, weighing more than an elephant.

Crocodiles, dinosaurs and pterosaurs are all evolved from the archosaur family of reptiles, which dates to the Middle Triassic Period.

Study of Deinosuchus droppings found in Georgia suggest its diet was mostly sea turtles.

The Titanoboa was a 40-foot-long serpent that weighed more than a ton, making it the largest snake that ever existed.

Titanoboa lived in what is now South America.

In 2012, to promote an upcoming TV special, the Smithsonian Institution set up a 48-foot-long replica of a Titanaboa in New York's Grand Central Station.

In 1998, a University of California graduate student, Thomas A. Stidham, found a fossil fragment that is possibly of a parrot's jawbone estimated to be between 65 and 70 million years old.

The Edmontosaurus had hoofed toes, much like a modern cow.

The Edmontosaurus had a rare reptilian ear bone called the stapes.

The Edmontosaurus lacked a bony crest like other hadrosaurids.

The Edmontosaurus has been found all over western North American, suggesting that it traveled in large herds as a form of protection.

Thanks to numerous fossils and mummified remains, scientists may have more understanding and knowledge about the duck-billed Edmontosaurus than any other dinosaur.

Fossils from 26 individual Albertosaurus have been found in one site. This means the Albertosaurus may have traveled in packs.

If you look carefully when Nixon is barking at the Albertosaurus you can see the outline of a person in a green suit by the tree
