Ep 17. Dinosaurs in the Snow / Cretaceous Conifers

Dinosaur Train season 1 episode 17, titled "Dinosaurs in the Snow / Cretaceous Conifers," follows the adventures of the Pteranodon family as they travel across different prehistoric landscapes.

In the first half of the episode, "Dinosaurs in the Snow," Buddy and his family journey to the North Pole and discover that it's covered in snow and ice. They learn about the different types of animals that thrive in such harsh conditions, including woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers.

The Pteranodon family also encounters a new dinosaur, a feathered Deinonychus named Derek, who is chasing after a herd of smaller dinosaurs. Buddy is initially wary of Derek, but they soon bond over their shared love of running and playing in the snow.

As the Pteranodon family travels back to their own time period, they learn about how the Earth's climate has changed over millions of years, and how some animals have adapted to survive in different types of environments.

In the second half of the episode, "Cretaceous Conifers," the Pteranodon family travels back in time to the Cretaceous period, where they explore a forest filled with towering conifer trees.

They meet a new dinosaur, a friendly Troodon named Tank, who shows them around the forest and teaches them about the different types of trees and plants that grow there. Buddy is particularly interested in the pinecones that the conifers produce, and Tank explains how the seeds inside the cones can grow into new trees.

As they explore the forest, the Pteranodon family also encounters a group of Styracosaurus, who are trying to find their way through the dense trees. The Pteranodons help the Styracosaurus navigate the forest and avoid getting stuck in the thick underbrush.

As the episode comes to a close, the Pteranodon family learns an important lesson about the interconnectedness of all living things, and how every creature has a unique role to play in the ecosystem. Through their adventures in the snow and the forest, they gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity of life on Earth, and the importance of protecting our planet for future generations.
