Wild Kratts-prehistoric preview

**Wild Kratts: Prehistoric** is a spin-off of the PBS Kids series, Jurassic Kratts and *Wild Kratts*. The series consists of the zoologist brothers Chris and Martin Kratt, along with the rest of the Wild Kratts team traveling through various geological time periods using their Tortuga ship as their time machine and encountered dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals in each time period. Using their Creature Power of many of them, the Kratt brothers and their team witness and follow the lives of these long extinct animals and learn about them, and bring them back to the dinosaur park.

## Plot

After traveling around the world to witness and follow the lives of any animals, bringing them back to the park, and protecting them from harm such as Zach and the other villains, using their Creature Power, zoologist and conservationist brothers Chris and Martin Kratt, along with their friends Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z, are back and this time, they are going on an epic animal mission and adventure that would take them back hundreds, thousands, and even millions of years into the past as after the main events of *Wild Kratts*, Aviva has upgraded the Tortuga ship to be able to time travel that would take them into any period or era in Earth's long history and so they travel into three geological eras that make up the Phanerozoic eon:

* The Paleozoic era, the "Age of Early Life", the era when early, complex multicellular organisms such as animals and plants thrived and evolved in the oceans, giving rise to many groups (both extinct and living) and eventually moved out of the water and onto dry land (such as tetrapods) and evolved and thrived. The era was marked by two major evolutionary events from beginning to end: the Cambrian Explosion (when animal life became complex for the first time and many modern phyla's of animals evolved from a common ancestor during this event, which began around 542 million years ago) and the Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction aka the "Great Dying" (when nearly all life on Earth such as 95% of all marine life and 70% of land vertebrates were wiped out in the biggest and most catastrophic mass extinction in our planet's history, 252 million years ago).
* The Mesozoic era, the "Age of Reptiles", the time when dinosaurs and other sauropsids, big and small and both predator and prey, were the dominant animal species on land, sea, and air and were the largest land animals that ever walked the earth while one type of dinosaur eventually evolved into birds. Mammals appeared at this era, but remained mostly small and lived in the shadow of the dinosaurs. This era came to an end 66 million years ago with another mass extinction event known as the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) Mass Extinction event, when all the dinosaurs (excluding birds) along with 75% of all plant and animal species on land and sea were wiped out by a global catastrophe as a result of a giant asteroid or comet striking the earth.
* The Cenozoic era, the "Age of Mammals", when mammals dominated the world after surviving the K-Pg event, occupying niches left vacated by the non-avian dinosaurs and other sauropsids, giving rise to many modern animals including humans, while our planet was becoming more familiar than ever for the last 66 million years.

Using the time traveling Tortuga HQ, the Wild Kratts travel to any period in prehistory, encountering dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, bringing them to the park, and, like they did in *Wild Kratts*, using their Creature Power of them, they'll follow the lives of these amazing animals, learning how they live, fought, survive, nurture their young, why they became extinct, how they're related to modern animals, and how they were so successful. In addition to facing and rescuing deadly, awesome predators such as *Tyrannosaurus rex* the King of the Dinosaurs, the Saber-toothed cat *Smilodon*, the armored fish *Dunkleosteus*, and the bizarre *Anomalocaris* one of the first large super predators on Earth, the Kratt brothers and the rest of the Wild Kratts team would also have to face, battle, and brave natural elements such asteroid impact events, erupting volcanoes, ice ages, and sticky tar pits. But they also have to face and battle their villainous enemies that they did in *Wild Kratts*: Zachary "Zach" Varmitech, an evil robotic inventor and the Kratt brothers' arch-nemesis, the cruel and greedy fashion-designer Donita Donata and her bumbling henchman Dabio, the sadistic Chef Gaston Gourmand, and the careless Paisley Pavers and her bumbling henchman Rex are planning to infiltrate the Wild Kratts' time traveling Tortunga and planning to capture any prehistoric creature for whatever villainous deed they're doing (or in Paisley Pavers' case, wipe out any habitat to build civilization) and so using their Creature Powers, the brothers and their team must stop them and rescue the animals, as well as stopping them from altering the Present. So let's take a journey back in time and join along with them in- Wild Kratts: Prehistoric!

Among these was the horned dinosaur or ceratopsian *Styracosaurus*, with its short frill bristling with long horns around, a long nasal horn, and roamed in vast herds. With their Styracosaurus Power, Chris and Martin joins a herd of *Styracosaurus* to learn about their behavior and lives of these horned dinosaurs, including the purpose of their horns, frills, and maternal instincts, as well as befriended a male *Styracosaurus* Chris named Curvey for its forward curved nasal horn unlike the rest of the herd and a baby Martin named Spikehead. But the brothers also have to face and brave the potential hazards that the dinosaurs faced: the various predators of the Dinosaur Park region, including *Daspletosaurus* (an earlier and smaller relative of *T. rex*, one of the largest tyrannosaurs that grew up to 30 feet long, and the alpha predator of the region with deadly, powerful jaws and an acute sense of smell) and severe, seasonal monsoons that hit the region and flood the area during their annual migration to their nesting region.

## Trivia

* This is the second time, the Wild Kratts team had traveled through time and the second time Aviva made a device that can travel through time.
	+ The first time the Wild Kratts team had traveled through time was in the *Wild Kratts* special *Back in Creature Time* in which the Kratt brothers used a Time Trampoline that Aviva created, but was destroyed at the end of the special (a flashback of that scene was shown in *Tyrannosaurus Wrecks*).
		- Aviva even states in *Tyrannosaurus Wrecks* that the Tortunga being upgraded to be able to travel much further back into geological time periods including the Mesozoic era, the Age of Dinosaurs, was a huge improvement of the Time Trampoline, which was a prototype back then and can only reach can only allow traveling up to 500 years back in time and while used in the present, the earliest it can go is to the 1500s (in *Raptor Round Up*, Aviva hinted that she just started working on her time machine and that they couldn't reach the era of dinosaurs yet).
	+ This is also the first time that the villains Zach, his Zachbots, Donita, Dabio, Gourmand, Paisley, and Rex can also time travel, this time by infiltrating the Tortunga, and with devices (mostly built by Zach) that's handheld, as well as their vehicles such as Paisley's time traveling bulldozer and Donita's time traveling car.
* This is the third time since *Back in Creature Time* that the Kratt brothers and their team used their Creature Powers on extinct animals since the dodo bird and Thylacine/Tasmanian tiger.
* Throughout the series, the villains, mostly Zach and Donita, don't seem to like paleontology as they find them that their view of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures is nonsense and don't really agree with them and their knowledge.
* Animated clips from the 1992 PBS documentary mini-series, *The Dinosaurs* were briefly shown in some episodes.
* There was going to be a "Fly Like a Pterosaur" series that feature and focus on *Quetzalcoatlus*, but due to many paleofans and experts as well as some paleontologists think that *Quetzalcoatlus nothropi* is overused as it was known from scant remains, it was scrapped and decided to replace it with *Hatzegopteryx*.
	+ However, *Quetzalcoatlus nothropi* was shown on the computer screen in "Fly Like a Pterosaur".
	+ *Quetzalcoatlus nothropi* was one of the animals that was only shown in one of the books of Wild Kratts: Prehistoric!
	+ In some episodes that are set in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana during the Late Cretaceous period, the Kratt brothers informally dubbed the unnamed azhdarchids that were found in Hell Creek as "Quetzalcoatlus", despite that they were formally dubbed as an unnamed *Quetzalcoatlus* species. However, Quetzalcoatlus makes an appearance in the episode: ***It's a Bird, it's a Duck, it's a Quetzalcoatlus***
