(music intensifies)
- We also now have a Wilderness Productions' pet.
Mario, watch your fingers, but go get her, okay?

- What's going on, Coyote Pack?
Welcome to another episode of Base Camp.
This one is going to be something special.
- What's so special about it?
- Well as you can see, there's no computer
which means we're not reviewing a video today.
- Well if we're not gonna review a video,
what are we doing here?
- Well we just got to the end
of the first season of Beyond Dinosaurs.
- [Mark] That was pretty cool, man.
- I wanted to take this moment
to give a little bit of a lookback on the series
sort of collect our favorite moments.
I've got a little, special something waiting for us.
We will get to that in a second.
Just the opportunity to have worked with Pete Larson
and to visit the Black Hills Institute
I think for all three of us was kind of a dream come true.
Wasn't it?
- Unbelievable, like what a way
to start the Beyond Dinosaurs Franchise.
- Right?
- I mean amazing.
- Pretty crazy.
So Mario, looking back on the time we spent in South Dakota,
working alongside Pete,
what would you say was your favorite moment?
- Well certainly we started with the biggest, most famous
of dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, right?
I think my favorite aspect was meeting Pete himself.
I mean, we're working with a renowned paleontologist,
a tyrannosaur expert.
So simply just talking to him,
being out in the field with him,
being in his presence and with all
that information he was giving off, was pretty neat.
- So how about you, Mark?
What was your favorite moment?
- Well obviously meeting Pete was super special.
Working with one of the most renowned paleontologists
of our lifetime, on our first ever dinosaur production,
incredible, but if I had to pick a different moment,
it would probably be the moment we got to hold Stan's tooth.
You guys certainly didn't forget that did you?
I mean I remember being handed the tooth
and thinking to myself, "Whatever you do,
don't drop it. This is priceless.
You'll probably touch anything this significant ever again."
- There was a lot of pressure to hold that tooth.
When we got in post-production on that episode,
you know we all said what I think we thought of at the time,
were what we thought were intelligent thoughts
when we were holding the tooth.
- I kind of went blank (laughs)
- Yeah, you were so nervous holding it
that we ended up deciding to write a really cool, epic
voiceover for that moment holding the tooth,
with epic music.
It just seemed more fitting than to be like, "Uh".
- It certainly did it justice for sure.
- Probably the most famous dinosaur fossil in history.
- Yes, yes.
Without question.
And of course, Stan's skull being one
of the most important Tyrannosaurus rex skulls
ever on Earth.
- Alright Coyote, so how about you?
What was your favorite part?
- Well certainly getting to hold that T-Rex tooth
and getting to work with Pete was beyond epic.
A dream come true,
but I think one of the things that I really took away
was how special it was for us as a team
to head out into the field to search for fossils with Pete.
I mean, we created Beyond Dinosaurs secretly so that...
- [Mario] For fossils, right?
- [Mark] We are going again, right?
- Oh yeah, there's going to be many more fossil adventures
to come, but just getting to head out into the Badlands,
at a top secret location.
No we can't tell you guys where it was.
And to search for fossils with Pete in rock
that was thirty-five million years old was just..
It was so cool.
- Yeah and it was really interesting too
because we didn't really know what to expect.
You know, honestly looking for fossils
is a lot like looking for wildlife.
- Right.
- You know, there's not a lot of
really deep level science when you're searching.
You're really just putting yourself in the right location
and then just looking for abnormalities
and then if something is sticking out,
it could be a Saber-toothed cat.
- I mean, it's like a treasure hunt.
You're walking around and anything you see,
could be a potential fossil.
You pick it up, you look at it,
you examine it, it was really exciting.
- You know, we didn't necessarily tell Pete
in advance that I loved turtles.
That was all unscripted.
I got excited when he opened up that drawer
and there were turtle shells,
and he's like, "Reptiles".
I was like, "Oh, turtles! You said the magic word!"
It just so happened that our first team excavation
was the much larger turtle and then the smaller one
that we got to take back to the lab and prepare.
- [Mark] So that's funny.
If we think about all of the different series
that we've ever produced,
Breaking Trails started with turtles,
Blue Wilderness actually started
with turtles because sea turtles.
- [Coyote Peterson] Sea turtles one of our first dives.
- [Mark] Yep.
And now, paleontology turtles.
- [Coyote Peterson] It's all about the turtles, right guys?
- [Mario] Pretty neat.
- Okay, so you guys, let me get something here for us.
Check this out.
This box has been floating around the office
for a couple of weeks now.
- I was wondering what this was.
- Everybody keeps saying, "What is inside of this box?"
Do not crush.
Do not double stack.
Fragile, handle with care.
This showed up a couple of weeks ago
from the Black Hills Institute
and we did another little Base Camp
while you were on your location scouting trip.
We said look, "We've gotta wait for Mark to get back
before we unbox this."
So now this video is going to transition
into a unboxing video and I don't know what's in here.
- Do you know who it's from?
- It's from the Black Hills Institute.
- Oh, is that Stan's tooth?
- It could be Stan's tooth.
- Pete, did you send us a T-Rex tooth?
- It's probably our turtle that we excavated.
- I don't know, can I see it?
- Yeah, careful.
- I'm not gonna shake it.
It's fragile, it says on the box.
- [Mario] Is it heavy?
- Yeah, I mean.
- [Mario] It's expensive.
- Give it back.
- It's about the weight of that T-Rex tooth.
- It could be the T-Rex tooth.
The odds of Pete Larson sending us
the most valuable fossil in all of paleontology,
in all of science, there's a good chance.
I mean I feel the episodes turned out great.
- I mean we're friends now.
- Right.
- Mario, my box cutter, please.
- Alright, let's do this.
- Here we go, the moment you've been waiting for.
I'm nervous.
Please be Stan's tooth.
Alright here we go.
Don't cut myself.
Look at that dust coming off the edge of the pin.
- [Mark] Get ready.
If there's a T-Rex tooth in this box,
you're about to see three grown men lose their minds.
(Mario laughs)
- [Coyote Peterson] Black Hills Institute
of Geological Research.
This is official, guys.
This is the real deal.
Alright, watch your fingers there, Mario.
Get this tape peeled back here, like that.
And on this side.
- Careful with that knife.
- Yeah, safety first guys.
Let's go ahead and close this up.
I'll give you that.
And we are in.
Alright.
- [Mark] Oh man.
- [Coyote Peterson] Is it Stan's tooth?
I'm going to remove this very carefully.
It's Stan's tooth!
- Is it?
- No it's not Stan's tooth,
but I almost had you.
As you guessed Mario, I can see
that this is in fact,
oh my gosh, this is so cool.
So special too.
Alright here, hold that.
Wow.
There it is.
- [Mark] Oh man.
- That is our Turtle.
Look at that fossil. - Nice.
Wow, how cool is that? - It's great.
Man it looks so good!
- [Mark] Nice.
- I think he might have cleaned it up
a little bit better than I did.
It's in pristine condition now.
It's even got an official Black Hill's number on it.
There you go, hold onto it.
Wow, that is so cool.
- Yep.
- Officially numbered.
Now, I knew this wasn't going to be Stan's tooth.
Pete wrote to me and said, "Look,
I would love for you guys
to have an official Black Hills Institute fossil,
at the Wilderness Productions' headquarters.
Here you go, Mario.
You take hold of it there.
This makes us just like a museum.
This is on loan to Wilderness Productions
from the Black Hills Institute
and it's proudly going to live here
on the Base Camp site.
How cool is that?
- It's amazing.
- Where are we going to put it?
- We got to build a special shelf for it.
- I've got a shelf in my office for it.
- No, Mario.
This is a team fossil.
It's going to proudly go here on the Base Camp set.
It's on loan for us for two years.
Pete felt that in two years time,
there may be a good choice that we find
an ever greater fossil.
- Really?
- I said to him, "You mean a T-Rex skull?"
And he said, "Oh buddy, if we find a T-REX skeleton,
that one's going in the Black Hills Museum."
- Fair Enough.
- We'll see.
It depends on who finds it, right?
The fossil is not the only announcement we have
on today's episode. - More news?
- More news, go ahead and take that back over there.
We also now have a Wilderness Productions' pet.
- Yes.
- Mario, watch your fingers, but go get her, okay?
You guys are going to absolutely love this.
Careful.
- Oh, easy.
- Whoa, Mario watch your fingers, buddy.
- [Mario] Okay, okay, coming through.
- There she is.
- [Mario] Easy.
- Hi, Blue.
Good girl.
There we go.
Hi, Blue.
- [Altogether] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Mario, you fed Blue right?
- She was a little angry earlier.
- You know me, you know me.
There we go.
Ladies and gentleman of the Coyote Pack,
we proudly introduce you to Blue,
our new Wilderness Productions' office pet.
- Finally. - How cool is that?
- Man, people have been asking us for years,
"Do you guys have any pets in the office?"
- We do now.
- There we go.
- Now no.
We did not extract dinosaur DNA
from a mosquito trapped in amber.
We actually got Blue from our friends at Mattel.
This is the official Alpha Training Blue.
One of their newest products,
and the most advanced Jurassic franchise toy
that's ever been created.
- Blue's not a toy, Blue's a pet.
- For the purposes of the video,
but she didn't hear me say that, trust me.
- Okay.
- She's real.
She's as real as it gets.
- I mean, check this out.
Just with a flick of my hand,
I can actually move her, have her do gestures.
She can actually blink.
- [Coyote Peterson] And of course, I'm going to say,
she can bite too, right?
- [Mario] Oh yeah, watch out!
- Don't want to get bitten by those teeth, right?
- It's not a bite video.
- So in lieu of having Blue here,
I think It's gotten kind of important
that we have officially launched the Coyote Pack.
The Coyote Pack Starter Kit is now available.
- To become official.
- To become official
- To become official.
- This right now, is the moment where we find out if Blue,
wants to become a part of the pack.
You've got your bracelet right?
- Yes.
- [Mark] I've got my bracelet.
- You got your bracelet?
- Let me put mine on.
- [Mark] Why weren't you wearing your bracelet?
- I was training her earlier, and it got in the way.
- Okay, if you say so.
I guess you don't want that getting snagged in her claws.
Blue are you a member of the Coyote Pack?
No, not yet?
Why because you don't have the Coyote Pack Starter Kit?
- I know what it is.
Blue wants a Brave Crew bracelet,
because that's what makes you an official member
of the pack.
- This is true.
Let me ask her.
Blue, would you like to have Mark's Brave Crew bracelet?
Yeah?
Give her your bracelet.
- I'm gonna get this back, right?
- Probably not, we'll get you another one.
- Careful, she's pretty hungry.
- She will bite.
- Alright, hang on.
Those teeth are sharp.
- Gentle, Blue.
Hold.
There you go.
Now she's happy.
There you go girl.
There you go.
That's a good Velociraptor.
Blue, you're happy?
Cool.
You're officially now a member of the Coyote Pack.
Mario, why don't you gently move Blue over there.
Go hunt for a Gallimimus or something.
- What happens if she gets loose?
- Well that sounds like somebody else's problem.
I mean, she's pretty well contained at the office.
- Just wait until they deliver mail next week.
They're in for a shock.
- Oh yeah they are.
Big thanks to all of our friends at Mattel
for sending Alpha Training Blue.
It truly has been a dream come true
to now have a Wilderness Productions' office pet.
- Yeah, we finally have a pet.
I've been wanting to get a crocodile for the office.
- Mario, how is that safe?
- Well, it's a cool animal.
- We talked about this.
We travel too much to have a real crocodile.
- Now we have a dinosaur, so that's pretty cool.
- I can't say that the dinosaur is any safer,
but for all of you out there watching
who love dinosaurs as much as we do,
stay tuned, because Jurassic World Explorers
right now, is going through post-production.
I promise you guys, these episodes
are an adventure sixty-five million years in the making.
I wish we could show some teaser footage already,
but we have to wait. - Be patient.
It's going to be good guys, gonna be good.
Remember the Coyote Pack Starter Kit
is also available at the Brave Wilderness store,
and of course, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
is now out on Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital download.
- How many times have you seen it?
- Six times now.
- Four times, you always beat me.
- I'm going to top the number of times
I've seen Jurassic Park.
I keep watching it over and over.
Alright guys, I'm Coyote Peterson.
I'm Mark Vins.
I'm Mario Aldecoa.
- Be brave.
- Stay wild.
- We'll see you on the next Base Camp adventure.
- Whoa, Blue. What are you doing?
- Dude, don't let her eat that.
- What's she doing to the carpet?
- Blue!
- [Mario] She ate it.
- She crapped on the carpet.
- I know, I know.
Don't worry.
I know sometimes it can be a little nerve-racking
being in front of the cameras,
but just pretend it's not there, alright?
Yeah.
You like that?
You're a good girl.
Next time, do not eat Coyote's script.
He did not like that.
- [Coyote Peterson] Do you want to become
an official member of the Coyote Pack?
If so, make sure to pick up your starter kit,
which includes: the iconic pack tag,
adventure guide, and of course, the one and only,
Brave Crew bracelet.
The Coyote Pack Starter Kit is the best way
to show the world you are one of the pack.
It's available right now.
Hey, Coyote Pack.
If you love dinosaurs, I bet you're excited
for the upcoming premier of Jurassic World Explorers.
