Hey, Pachito! You feel like maybe

getting some exercise today?

- What?

- Just got a strange feeling, that's all.

You might wanna do

a little stretching,

get those hamstrings

nice and loose.

Just in case you

decide to do some cardio.

Why would I be exercising

when I walk 12 hours a day?

Because you might

live longer! Run away!

Run away?! Away from what?! Where do I go?!

It'd be helpful to know!

Keep to the center of the herd, little bro!

Safety in numbers!

What's safe about this?!

I almost got stepped on!

See?!

The Gorgosaurs enacted their

plan with military precision.

Now these bad boys

of the plains had it down.

They chased and harried their

prey, causing panic...

...and introducing

mayhem in their ranks.

You'd freak out too if

they were chasing you, okay?

I'm not judging.

Juniper, this way!

Mom, where are you?!

I'm going with Patchi!

Scowler, what are we doing?!

What's happening?!

Don't worry, as long as we

keep up with the herd, we'll be okay!

And here, the nasty

Gorgosaurs separated

the young and

the weak from the herd.

Divide and conquer. Gorgon

practically invented it.

Patchi, what do we do?!

Think happy thoughts!

Whatever happens,

we have to remain calm!

Remember, they can smell fear!

Sorry, that's not fear.

Juniper, you okay?!

I think I just

stepped in some fear!

They have us cornered!

Truce, truce!

Time out, time out!

Okay, everybody, I got an idea.

Just back up and

play it very cool.

Like, we don't even care,

look at that

nice stream over there,

let's look at...

Somebody help me!

Juniper! Oh, no!

Swim towards the shore!

I'm trying. I can't swim!

Juniper needed my help.

With her mom stuck on the shore,

I suddenly realized

what I had to do.

I had to dive in to save her.

You dove in?

That's right.

- That was a dive?

- Yeah, actually.

- It was.

- That was a dive, right there?

Yeah, it was a dive.

Maybe we should

look at that again.

Yeah, there you are

with a beautiful dive.

I'll have you know that

was a reverse pike cannonball.

I'll give you a 1.5

for degree of difficulty...

...and a perfect 10

for imagination.

Help, I can't swim!

Hang in there, Patchi!

Whatever you do, try not to drown!

I watched my friend helplessly as he

was swept away into a watery grave.

PATCHI. "Grave"?

I'm still alive.

Come on,

it's a figure of speech.

Help, somebody!

Help!

Oh, thank goodness.

Oh, that was a close one.

Patchi! Over here!

Hang on, Juniper!

I'm coming to save you!

Yeah!

Oh, man! That was close.

I'm exhausted!

Whoa!

Oh, my gosh!

Whoa, that was scary! Oh, my

gosh, guys, can you help me?

No! Whoa!

Thanks a lot,

Scowler! Nice work!

Patchi and

the others were carried off...

...by the swift and

treacherous current.

Patchi! Where are you?!

Patchi!

I flew for what

seemed like days...

...but I do tend to exaggerate,

so, let's call it 10 minutes.

Then, as I searched for

my dear friend Patchi...

...I was confronted by the

specter of his bloated corpse...

...cast upon the sand

like a lump of rotting flesh.

- A mere shadow of a...

- Gotcha!

Hey! What gives?

See? I knew you were faking.

That doesn't mean

you can poke my eye out!

Agree to disagree, okay?

Oh, gross!

Mmm. But tasty.

Charge!

Hey, where's Scowler going?

Come on, guys.

Here's the way out!

Oh, wait. Hang on!

Yeah, ocean.

I'll kick your salty butt.

Yup, that's my brother.

Ouch.

Come on, Juniper.

Easy does it. Ouch.

Juniper! Are you okay?!

Do not peck her eye out.

Okay, relax!

Are you all right?

What's wrong with your leg?

Oh, it's just a scratch.

Mostly I'm starving. I haven't

eaten since yesterday.

Yeah, me neither.

Whoa! Was that your stomach?

Uh, definitely not.

Look!

What is that?!

Smack. What's that?

Ah, yes,

the mighty Edmontosaur...

...enormous in length,

gargantuan in height...

...and his brain? Not so much.

How big is your brain?

It's not a competition.

Edmontosaurus, meaning

lizard of Edmonton, herbivore.

Whoa.

- Heads up!

- Look out, Patchi!

They look hungry.

What if they want to eat us?

They don't eat meat,

they eat very large trees.

I'm glad I'm not a tree.

Patchi. Come on!

For once, luck had

smiled on our heroes...

...for within

those enormous animals'

minuscule brains

was but one thought:

Food.

What about a beverage?

Okay, two thoughts, well,

three, if you want a side dish...

...but back to

my original point.

It was a most

fortuitous development,

for as the ancient

wisdom tells us:

If you want to know where the

food is, follow the fat guys.

You know what I was thinking?

These guys are probably on their

way to some feeding ground.

Maybe we should follow them.

I just said that!

Good idea, Patchi.

Thanks.

Oh, sure, Patchi,

take all the credit.

Hey! Mind if we join you?

You won't even know we're here.

In fact, I don't think you

do know we're here. Do you?

No?

Patchi, check it out!

You go left, you go right, you gotta

be smarter than the herd... Ow!

- Move it or lose it, lard butt.

- Ow. Scowler!

Eat my dust.

Again, not a race!

Come on, June.

We gotta keep going.

Hey. Juniper doesn't quit.

I'm going as fast as three

and a half legs can take me.

How's the leg, Juniper?

You need me to carry you?

Nah, you know what? I'm just gonna

park it here for a bit.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, uh, having a lie-down,

yeah. Sure.

Scowler! Wait up, Scowler!

All right, so I guess

we'll catch up with you...

...or something, later?

Guys?

Thanks for waiting!

Save us some leafy greens!

Patchi, you should go on

ahead, I'll catch up.

What are you, crazy?

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm gonna stay with you

until you feel better.

Patchi!

Now where are those laggards?

Ah, I should have guessed.

Hey, I hate to horn in

on your beautiful moment...

...but in case you haven't

noticed, it's getting dark.

Juniper, um, we gotta get going.

Okay, I'll be over here.

I'm sorry to wake you,

but, I don't know...

...the tide

turned or something.

I don't really

know much about tides.

But the point is, we need

to find another way out.

Okay. Good luck with that.

Okay, yeah,

I can get us out of here.

Time to turn on my

trailblazing skills.

Hey, Patchi, have you ever

had that weird dream...

...where a bunch of crabs

are crawling all over you?

No. You know, I've had

the lobster dream but...

Holy crab!

Get them off!

Here they come, they're swarming

and I don't know

if they're friendly! Ow!

Hey, back off,

shoo, shoo, get out of here!

Oh, I see you like to dance. So,

what will it be, my briny friend?

The mambo?

The salsa?

Perhaps the deadly lambada?

Tough guy, huh? Well, you've

messed with the wrong...

Ow, ow! Get it off!

Look at them wiggle.

Wiggly-wiggly-woo.

That's right, you run away!

You look so stupid!

Oh, boy. Incoming!

What does that mean?

Hey, new friends, where are

you on the food chain?

High, low, middle?

Give us a ballpark... Run!

It's okay, they don't want us!
