### Episode 30: Dinosaur Dawn

Age and Setting: Argentina (Ischigualasto Formation), 231.4 million BC (Carnian stage of the Late Triassic)

Plot: The Wild Kratts traveled to the arid landscape of Argentina more than 230 million years to the Triassic period, when reptiles diversified as the Earth recovered from the Great Dying that occurred around 20 million years earlier and among them were some of the earliest-known dinosaurs that evolved from these reptilian survivors. When witnessing an *Eoraptor*, one of the earliest of dinosaurs, that they named Eden, Chris and Martin used their Creature Power of *Eoraptor* to follow the life of Eden and learn how early dinosaurs thrived and survived the Triassic world, what advantages they had over most of their contemporaries, and what allowed dinosaurs to took off and became the dominant animals of the Mesozoic era, whilst evading the large predators of the area, such as *Saurosuchus* a 23-foot pseudosuchian. Along the way, the bros will bring Eden Eoraptor, her family and the other creatures (e.g. Eodromaeus, Saurosuchus) to the park.

Animals: ***Eoraptor lunensis**, Eodromaeus murphi, Saurosuchus galilei, Ischigualastia jenseni, Hyperodapedon sanjuanensis, Exaeretodon argentinus, Proterochampsa barrionuevoi, Aetosauroides scagliai*, and *Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis* (Mostly mentioned and Picture Only, background dinosaur).
