These animals flourished in the superheated  jungles of the mid to late Paleocene, but none more than the colossal serpent, Titanoboa.

这些动物新世中后期的过热丛林中繁衍生息，但其中最重要的莫过于蛇泰坦蟒。

Had Titanoboa survived beyond the PETM, it would have faced more challenges in the millions of  years between then and now.

如果泰坦蟒能够新世始世以来的时期幸存下来，那么从那时到现的数百里， 它将会面临更多的挑战。

And it couldn't fly, but it used those short wings to propel itself into the coastal waters of the Paleocene Epoch.

而且它不会飞，但是它用那短小的翅膀将自己推进到新世的近海海域。

Planocraniidae first showed up in the Paleocene Epoch about 61 million years ago, starting with a species from China known as Planocrania hengdongensis .

Planocraniidae 最早出现大约 6100 的新世时期，最早出现的是来自中国的一种名为 Planocrania hengdongensis 的物种。

So I found this down by the Bow River here in Calgary, and this is part of some kind of sycamore plant from the Paleocene.

我卡尔加里的弓河边发现了这个，这是新世某种梧桐植物的一部分。

From there, true penguins probably evolved in what's now New Zealand in the early Paleocene Epoch, around 61 million years ago, with Waimanu and its relatives.

从那里开始，真正的企鹅可能大约 6100 的新世早期与怀马努及其亲戚一起现的新西兰进化。

Titanoboa lived just a few million years before global temperatures spiked even higher, in an event known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which we've talked about before.

泰坦蟒全球温度飙升至更高温度之仅存了几百，这一事件被称为新世-始新世极热事件，我们之已经讨论过。

During the Late Paleocene and early Eocene, the global average temperature rapidly increased  by about 5 degrees Celsius, an event known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum or PETM.

新世晚期和始新世早期，全球平均气温迅速上升约 5 摄氏度，这一事件被称为新世-始新世极热期 (PETM)。

The world's biggest snake thrived for a couple million years in the Paleocene Epoch, its giant lifestyle made possible by the extreme climate at the time.

世界上最大的蛇新世时期繁衍生息了几百，当时的极端气候使其成为可能。

Back at the start of the Eocene Epoch, the world was in the clutches of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, and warm, damp forests covered the land from pole to pole.

早始新世初期，世界就处于新世-始新世极热期的控制之下，温暖潮湿的森林覆盖了南北两极的土地。

The Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum is one of the most radical climate events ever unearthed, and the mass extinction that followed it was triggered — at least in part — by an injection of greenhouse gases into the air.

新世-始新世极热事件是众多未被发掘的极端天气事件之一，后面发生大规模灭绝的原因至少有部分是因为温室气体排放进了大气。

During the Paleocene Epoch, which began about 66  million years ago, the king of the primeval world was not Tyrannosaurus Rex or Spinosaurus but a  colossal snake lurking in the warmest, wettest corners of South America.

大约 6600 的新世，原始世界的王者不是霸王龙或棘龙，而是潜伏南美洲最温暖、最潮湿的角落的一条蛇。
