- 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,
