- Yeah, come on, show us.
You've got dinosaur teeth in your pockets, don't you?
- Okay, well.
- He does, he carries dinosaur teeth
with him everywhere. - Let's see.
- This is strange.
- This one's my favorite, - Gah, there it is.
this is a spinosaurus tooth.

- What's going on Coyote Pack?
And welcome to another episode of Base Camp,
and this one's special because it's all about dinosaurs.
- Yes! I love dinosaurs.
- I know you love dinosaurs, and so does Mark,
but where's Mark today?
- I don't know, wasn't he supposed to be here?
- Actually, Mark is out on a location scouting trip
right now, checking out some top secret new spots
for us to film, but I have a feeling that on the side,
he's probably also looking for fossils.
- You think so? - Mmhmm
- Can I go look for fossils?
- No, no, no. we gotta stay here,
we gotta do some work today.
The first thing we're gonna look at,
is some of the Coyote Pack fan art.
- Yeah!
- Now, we have not gotten any Beyond Dinosaurs fan art yet.
Guys, hint, hint, make us some dinosaur fan art,
but hold on, before you show that, check this out.
- Ooh!
- You see that?
- That's, those are dinosaurs.
- These are dinosaurs, and these came from Lucas Tuggle.
Lucas, buddy, you sent us your toy dinosaurs.
- That's awesome. - How cool is that?
Now Lucas says, dear Coyote, I hope you like this dinosaur.
I thought you could use it for your new show.
from Lucas Tuggle.
He also wanted to say hi
to you and Mark, as well. - Oh excellent.
What's up Lucas? - But how thoughtful is that?
He sent us his toy dinosaur. - That's awesome.
We have a ceratopsian here.
- Yup, and of course, a T-Rex.
Which as he knows is one of our favorites, right.
- Would you give up your toys?
- No, as a matter of fact,
this is my favorite T-Rex toy from when I was a kid.
I've had this since I was in sixth grade
and, I'll tell you what, it takes a lot to give away
one of your favorite toys.
So Lucas, - Thank you.
- We greatly appreciate that
and they are totally gonna go on the base camp set.
But for now, let's see if we can get him
to just hang out here during this episode.
How about that?
Alright, what else you got there Mario?
- Oo, check this out. - I like this one.
- Some nice art from Elizabeth, from Queensland, Australia.
Check this out.
- Nice. - It looks like a caiman.
- I think it is.
You see the little spectacles on top there?
I'm pretty sure it's a spectacled caiman,
but the reason we picked this one
is because crocodilians are descendants of the dinosaurs.
- Yeah, right, it's kinda got that dinosaur theme.
Crocodilians look like dinosaurs, right?
- Right, they've been on the planet
for over 240 million years, so they lived during
the time of the dinosaurs, which seemed fitting, right?
- Yeah. Well, thank you Elizabeth, this one's awesome.
- Yeah, very cool.
Alright give me that back over here.
This is going to hang up on the Base Camp set.
Like I said, guys, we don't have any official
Beyond Dinosaurs artwork yet, so, send it the PO Box.
We keep getting messages from the post office,
I know I've mentioned this before.
We get these messages, like, guys can you write
a different post office box, can you get another one,
cause it keeps overflowing
and they have to put them in those bins.
- Yeah, it sounds like a them problem.
- Yeah, that's pretty much what I would say.
Guys, make as much fan art as you can
and send it to the PO Box.
That address is in the about section of this video.
- But, let's talk dinosaurs.
You ready? - Of course,
I'm always ready to talk dinosaurs.
- We worked with Pete Larson, world renowned paleontologist.
Mario, how was that?
Crazy, right?
- Well, before we even worked with him
we were pre-production and trying
to get in contact with Pete, right?
And I remember the first email I sent out
was like, hey Pete, this is Brave Wilderness,
we love what you do, you know,
we wanna work with you someday.
And a few weeks later, we got a response.
- Right.
- And I was like, Coyote, we got Pete, but
then it was like silence for a little while,
and then we got the call.
- Right, we got the call that was,
hey, love what you guys are doing, come down and film
at the Black Hills Institute whenever it's convenient
for you guys, and we're running around the office screaming,
We got Larson, we got Larson,
like that scene from Jurassic Park, where they're like
"Dodgson, we've got Dodgson here".
But trust us, we really cared.
Now before we visited the Black Hills Institute,
we needed to do some pre-production,
and to do that, you got some books.
- Yeah, we wanted to make sure we looked good
in front of Pete in terms of knowing our stuff.
- Yes.
- So we got some books.
These are actually field guides.
Isn't that kind of weird?
- Yeah, dinosaur field guides?
- Dinosaur field guides, it's kind of like
if you have a reptile and amphibian field guide,
and you go out and you look for the species.
These are kind of mimicking that, but with dinosaurs.
- Of course, we're not seeing any real dinosaurs out there,
at this point, but when you're looking for fossils,
it can be pretty helpful to know, you know,
what time periods certain dinosaurs lived in,
whether it's the the Triassic,
the Jurassic, or the Cretaceous.
And certainly, when talking with Pete,
we wanted to be on point, when it comes
to naming dinosaurs species. - Yeah.
So, we got these great books, and we read through them,
and got a lot of great info, some stuff that I'd forgotten
in the past, that I've known since I was little.
But when you get older, you kinda forget things.
And, then this one here, has a bunch
of really cool dinosaur species I didn't even know of.
There's actually like thousands of dinosaurs described,
did you know that? - Yes.
And I probably know 25 of them.
So before we went to go work with Pete
at the Black Hills Institute,
we definitely needed to spiff up on our dinosaur facts.
- Yeah, you know, we wanted to impress Pete,
even though he's just a wealth of information
and everything he was saying was impressing me.
I mean, he's talking about Tyrannosaur this,
Tyrannosaurus Rex that, and it's just amazing
to be with this renowned expert.
- Well, when you think about it,
you say Tyrannosaurus Rex expert,
how is anyone a Tyrannosaurus Rex expert,
but, when you're talking about Pete Larson,
of the 40 most important Tyrannosaurus Rex
skeletons that have ever been dug up,
Pete has been a part of 10 of those digs.
Including Sue and Stan.
- I'd say that makes you an expert.
Absolutely. - Yeah, as you guys know,
Sue currently resides at the Chicago Field Museum, and Stan
is at the Black Hills Institute.
And speaking of Stan,
we got to hold Stan's biggest tooth.
Now, that was a big part of that episode,
me getting to hold that fossil,
which is 67 to 66 million years old.
I mean, that dagger, that thing,
how many triceratops did that tooth kill?
- Right? It's mind boggling.
I got to hold, Mark and I got to hold, the tooth as well,
and, I will say I was kind of emotional.
Right, I mean, we're holding this piece of history,
prehistoric history, and the weight of it,
and the serrations, everything about it
just basically transformed me into a little kid.
I just felt like I was a little kid absorbing
this magnificent tooth.
- Right, like the most precious item
any of us had ever held, and I think Pete said
it in the episode, he's like
"Oh, there's about 30 people that have held it."
What we ultimately deduced it down to
is that we were 30, 31, and Mark
was the 32nd person to ever hold the tooth of that dinosaur.
- That's priceless, yeah. - I think more people
have held the Declaration of Independence,
than have held - What's that?
- that T-Rex tooth.
Yeah, it was an incredible artifact and such a cool thing
for us to be able to hold that,
for Pete to let us hold that,
and, you know, we entered into the enclosure
with Stan's skull, and just to see his collection
at the Black Hills Museum is unlike anything.
- Pete took us in, he was accommodating.
You know, he felt, it seemed like he was a kid as well.
Like his enthusiasm was just as high as ours,
which was amazing.
- Pete is a big kid at heart, that's for sure.
Even when we were joking around,
so you like dinosaur teeth a lot.
- I do. - I like dinosaur teeth.
You probably have some dinosaur teeth
in your pockets, don't you?
- You think so?
Dinosaur teeth?
- Yeah, come on, show us.
You've got dinosaur teeth in your pockets, don't you?
- OK, well, - He does. He carries dinosaur
teeth with him everywhere. - Let's see.
- [Coyote] This is strange.
When we go through airport security
and he's gotta put his vest on the belt,
they're like we're going to have to search this.
And what's that, a mosasaur tooth?
- That's a mosasaur tooth.
No big deal. - That's a mosasaur tooth,
that's one, what else you got?
Come on, cough it up, come on. - Let's see.
- He's got more teeth guys, mosasaur tooth.
- Uh, it's not dinosaur but it's a megalodon.
- Megalodon tooth, that's two, what else?
- Come on, be honest. - Okay, okay.
Let's see. - He's got one more, I know.
- This one's my favorite.
- Dah, there it is. - [Mario] This is
a spinosaurus tooth.
- Spinosaurus tooth as well.
Three dinosaur teeth, who has this?
Only you. - Yeah,
well. - Like a big kid.
- It's fun.
But we did joke around with Pete,
and I did try to steal Stan's tooth.
I was like, Pete, look over there,
and then I walked in the opposite direction.
He's like, you put that tooth back.
But, oh my gosh, it's so cool.
That tooth is so cool.
And you're very nervous, when you hold it.
I was nervous, even when I was joking,
I'm like walking away, you don't move your arms,
You're almost like a gimbal.
It's like ohhhhhh - You're like, it's like
holding a baby, right. - Yes.
- Like, you're kind of like, ahh what do I do, what do I do.
- I'm more careful with that tooth
than I am when I hold a baby.
I've held babies, many a babies,
well my own baby, when my daughter was much younger,
but, yes, that tooth is like holding the most precious baby.
- Sure, T-Rex. - Yeah, for real.
Okay, so the first episode was fantastic
and we focused on Tyrannosaurus Rex.
And then the second episode got us into
what we considered the fossil's journey.
I know some people wrote in the comments section,
Are you guys going to bring back dinosaurs
like they did in Jurassic World?
Maybe. Not yet. - Not yet,
at least. - We're not doing
a real good job of it over here
at the Brave Wilderness studios cloning any dinosaurs.
What we wanted to do is bring paleontology
more to the forefront with this series.
It's such a fascinating science.
You don't realize how much work it takes
to extract fossils from the ground
and get them to museum presentation status.
- Absolutely, I think I've learned a lot
during this segment so far, and some of the series
that we've filmed so far.
I've learned the process of going out into the field
and finding the fossils, what to look for,
bringing them back to the lab, the...
- You know, they don't know any of this, yet.
- Oh, they don't?
- No. - Oh.
- They've only seen two episodes.
Sneak peek alert.
So, - Stay tuned.
- Yeah, stay tuned, you can't give away everything yet.
I mean, but with the second episode
we did see what it looks like for fossils
to be entombed in the matrix.
And what it takes for them to come out of the matrix.
- I mean, essentially we take it for granted, I think,
going to a museum and seeing these wonderful displays.
And whether it's the smallest to the largest display,
it takes a lot of work to get to that point.
- So, you gave away a little bit of a sneak peek,
but we also sneak peeked in the end of episode two,
where we are going to go out into the field
working alongside Pete to dig up fossils.
And, man, it is, I think it's my favorite episode
so far, that we've filmed.
It was - Yeah.
- I don't want to give away too much.
It's hard to not give away too much here.
We'll have to wait for you guys to see that episode,
which comes out in just a couple days.
But, it was so much fun getting to work alongside Pete
and just learn all that we learned in those couple of days.
- Absolutely. I felt like Dr. Alan Grant.
I mean, we had all our gear on,
we're out in the badlands - Cooking in the badlands.
- Yeah, and just the concept of we're walking around
this area that's millions of years old,
and the stuff we're picking up could be a fossil.
You didn't know, and that was really exciting.
- Yeah, so that episode is coming up soon, guys.
Stay tuned for that, and,
I think we have another sneak peek,
down there, don't we Mario?
- Ahh, actually we do. - [Coyote] We've got
a box there, right?
Now we've done a couple of unboxing videos before
on the channel, but this one says do not crush,
extra fragile, handle with care.
We're not going to tell you anything more about that,
but there is going to be another
Beyond Dinosaurs Base Camp unboxing edition coming up soon.
But we gotta wait for Mark, before we can film that one.
- Well, let's just say it might be 35 million years old.
- Ooh, 35 million years old.
Okay put it down, it looks heavy
and I don't want to break it.
Alright, guys, so we've also launched
the @beyonddinosaurstv Instagram account.
- We've been trying to grow this account,
so if you aren't following yet,
go follow the Beyond Dinosaurs
- Up here. - Instagram account.
- Yeah, we put a little logo of it up there.
Because we'll be posting all sorts
of cool behind the scene photos,
stuff that we're not sharing on the normal Brave Wilderness
or Coyote Peterson - Yep.
- social media feeds.
Some cool behind the scenes videos, cool photos,
and all that sort of good stuff.
- Yeah, you know, we're gonna really have fun with this.
I think Coyote and I and the crew;
our love of dinosaurs since we were younger is rejuvenated.
- Right. - At least for me.
Like I definitely see my childhood enthusiasm coming back.
- Right. - And you know,
the Instagram will be a great platform for us
to have cool dinosaur facts, dinosaur pictures,
and whatever catches our attention.
- Which is, it's important to note, guys,
that your influence is greatly going to effect
the direction of this series.
Now, we picked working with Pete Larson,
to launch the series, where we got lots
of cool stuff, lots of great insight,
but what is your favorite museum.
What's your favorite dinosaur?
What is the location that you want us
to go to search for fossils at?
- Yeah. - You know.
You guys suggest to us where you want us
to film more episodes, and we're going to do it.
- Absolutely, yeah, there's tons of dig sites
throughout the US, actually,
that a lot of amateur paleontologists visit,
and if you know one, let us know.
We'd love to visit it.
Or, if you're a paleontologist, yourself,
or you work in a museum, reach out,
let us know what sort of cool stuff's behind the scenes
that we can feature and promote your organization
or some of the research that you're doing,
and we'll certainly get it on the Brave Wilderness channel.
- Absolutely.
- Sounds pretty good, right? - Yeah.
- Alright, guys, so remember,
write in the comments section below
and tell us what do you like so far
about Beyond Dinosaurs, what more do you want to see,
and definitely go follow the Instagram account.
