00:00There is something missing from our world.
00:08The amazing animals that time has left behind.
00:13But what if we could bring them back?
00:17What if extinction didn't have to be forever?
00:25We're going back in time on a safari with a difference.
00:28As wildlife adventurer Nigel Marvin plunges into prehistory to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction.
00:37His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present and give them a second chance.
00:46On his very first mission, he hopes to rescue one of the last of the dinosaurs from the most dramatic extinction ever.
00:58Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary.
01:03Welcome to Prehistoric Park.
01:06It's a big day at Prehistoric Park.
01:07Throughout this huge reserve, everyone is busy preparing for the first arrivals.
01:15Come on lads, quick as you lay.
01:16Can you get a ten foot tall down the bottom of the paddock?
01:17They're almost finished building the enclosures for everything from giant insects to dinosaurs.
01:18Remember to check everything.
01:19It's a big day at Prehistoric Park.
01:20It's a big day at Prehistoric Park.
01:22It's a big day at Prehistoric Park.
01:23It's a big day at Prehistoric Park.
01:26Throughout this huge reserve, everyone is busy preparing for the first arrivals.
01:28Everyone is busy preparing for the first arrivals.
01:31Come on, lads, quick as you like.
01:36Can you get a ten-foot pole down the bottom of the paddock?
01:39They're almost finished building the enclosures for everything from giant insects to dinosaurs.
01:45Remember to check everything, because it's going to a dangerous creature.
01:51If Nigel can make extinct animals feel at home anywhere, it's here.
01:58The natural geography will help us contain the animals.
02:02There's the ocean to the south, and to the north there's a mountain range.
02:06Everything I need in terms of habitats.
02:09There's savannah, there's forest, there's rivers, there's even a waterfall.
02:13Perfect environments for keeping prehistoric animals.
02:19All they need now are the prehistoric creatures themselves.
02:28One day, Nigel plans to breed extinct animals in captivity.
02:35But his first step is to only bring a few of each species back to see how they get on in the 21st century.
02:45And Nigel knows exactly what he wants to start with.
02:48The meanest and scariest of them all.
02:52Tyrannosaurus Rex.
03:00He's already worked out when and where he'll have to go to track one down.
03:04The most widely accepted theory about why dinosaurs became extinct is a meteorite smashed into the earth.
03:11This is a map of the earth 65 million years ago.
03:14This is where the impact was.
03:16Somewhere here in Mexico, you can still see the crater today.
03:19Around that time, there were masses of T-Rex here somewhere in Montana.
03:24And I need to go back there to find them.
03:38To rescue the last of the T-Rex, Nigel is going back to the very end of the age of dinosaurs.
03:44As close to the meteorite impact as he takes.
04:0865 million years ago, Montana looks very different.
04:14This is a world before grass, where volcanoes dominate the landscape.
04:23Here T-Rex is king.
04:26Now all Nigel needs to do is to find one.
04:38In a place with so many potential dangers,
04:40Nigel and his team know the sooner they accomplish their mission, the better.
04:52I just hope I'm bitten off more than I can chew.
04:53We've got so little time.
04:54There's some wonderful forest over there.
04:58Perfect habitat.
04:59And I think that's where we'll begin our search for T-Rex.
05:02How's it going here?
05:03T-Rex is a monster.
05:04At a staggering 45 feet long and five tons, it shouldn't be too hard to track one down.
05:15T-Rex is a monster.
05:16At a staggering 45 feet long and five tons, it shouldn't be too hard to track one down.
05:28What he'll do when he does find one is not exactly clear.
05:46T-Rex are not the only creatures around.
05:59This must be a track way.
06:04And look, you can see here these leaves have been nibbled.
06:08These twigs have been snapped off.
06:10There's been a vegetarian browsing here.
06:12And the first evidence of dinosaurs.
06:17Hard to see, but you can see this footprint here.
06:19Three toes.
06:20This is the classic theropod dinosaur.
06:23The same family that T-Rex is in.
06:25Stand on two legs.
06:26They're bipedal.
06:27And it looks like there's a whole group of them here.
06:30Not as big as T-Rex, of course.
06:32And vegetarians, you can tell by the leaves that they've eaten.
06:35And they've gone this way.
06:36This is a big track way.
06:37There must be quite a few of them.
06:39And they've gone down this way.
06:42His hunch is right.
06:47His animal's rustling.
06:53And this is what normally happens when you're searching for reptiles.
06:57You hear them before you see them.
06:58You hear them scurrying away through the bushes.
07:02They're still moving around there.
07:06This could be our first dinosaurs.
07:13You see that?
07:17Ornithomimus.
07:18I've seen the fossils in the museum once.
07:20Ornithomimus means bird blimic.
07:22And you can see why exactly like an ostrich.
07:28Let's see how close we can get.
07:35Oh, my God.
07:36It went right through you.
07:37That was a warning.
07:39And look.
07:40All the others were all looking up.
07:41He must have been the sentry.
07:43And the Ongs are looking at us now.
07:45Heads popping up all over the place.
07:47And they're vegetarians.
07:51But they won't turn their noses.
07:53They won't turn their beaks up at the odd insect.
07:56Or bit of meat.
07:58And completely the opposite of what you'd imagine a dinosaur to be like.
08:02These beaks at the front.
08:03They've got ridges inside just like modern ducks and geese.
08:06And they use those to crush their food.
08:10And this is terrific.
08:11Our first dinosaur.
08:12These anithomimus will soon be extinct too.
08:19Unless, of course, Nigel can save one.
08:22I'd love a breeding herd of Ornithomimus at Peerstroik Park.
08:28But we need a technique for catching them.
08:31And I think this will work.
08:33I've done it with ostriches.
08:37And what you do is slip a sock over their head.
08:39As soon as you cover their eyes, they calm down.
08:42The only trouble that I've got is these things can run at 40 miles per hour.
08:47There's so many in this herd though.
08:49If I can get in the midst of them, they'll be commotion.
08:52And hopefully I can grab hold of one of them.
09:17the Pack!
09:22I don't 팔 Oops.
09:25foot sour of Tooth
09:39But now there's something else to continue.
09:41Something much much bigger.
09:43It'd be nice to play, Sam!
09:46It looks like the T-Rex have found Nigel before Nigel can find them.
09:57My son moves.
10:15Nigel does have one advantage. T-Rex are so top-heavy that if they trip, the fall can kill them.
10:35A bite of Nigel isn't worth the risk.
10:39Listen, get down, mate. Get down!
10:45It's a close one. The predators they don't like can find spaces like this.
10:55And that's why the T-Rex are staying back there, I'm sure.
11:01I think what we've got to do now is go back to camp.
11:04Day one over and there's no T-Rex to take home.
11:17At least there's no sign of the meteorite either. But it can't be far away.
11:26The following morning, the camp has some visitors.
11:44More creatures in the last throes of their existence.
11:56A glorious sight to wake up to. A big herd of Triceratops.
12:07This is a tremendous sight. When the fossils were found, they named these things Triceratops horridus.
12:13It means horrid three-horned face. But how could they? They are gorgeous.
12:17And big too. Eight tons. And one over there, that's a big male.
12:33It's at least 25 feet, eight meters long.
12:35And the good thing for us is there is a lot of them. They're prey animals for T-Rex.
12:41I've seen some tracks of the predator over there.
12:44Prey and predator attracted to water holes.
12:47And what I'm going to try to do is follow the tracks and see if we can find a T-Rex lair.
13:05The footprints are fresh, and it looks like a well-used track.
13:18T-Rex are fast movers, reaching 40 miles an hour when they need to.
13:25Nigel's hoping these ones aren't too far away.
13:28These tracks are really beginning to tell a story. Look here.
13:35Depression in the ash. That was a big tail sweep.
13:38And there's impressions here from bodies.
13:41There was a kerfuffle here, I think. Another tail drag over there.
13:45And the tracks are going on.
13:47I think we're getting towards the centre of the territory.
13:50What Nigel doesn't realise is he's actually already in the centre of their territory.
13:55Crouch down. Get over there.
13:59Damn.
14:01This is their home.
14:16There's bones scattered all over the place. They obviously bring food back here.
14:19It's terrific. And that kerfuffle back there, that must have been when the juveniles are fighting over scraps of food or something.
14:30It's dangerous play.
14:33T-Rex have huge jaw muscles, giving them about ten times more powerful than a lion's.
14:39And there's males and females here. I presume they're males over there.
14:45But in the fossil record, T-Rex skeletons, they've been found together.
14:49And that's a clue that they associate.
14:51They're a real mob, like a gang, looking for trouble.
15:03They really interact. And I wonder if they hunt in packs.
15:07Suddenly, they all started moving this way.
15:26It's one thing to find a T-Rex, but it's another thing to take one home.
15:31Fortunately, dinosaurs lay eggs. And they're a lot easier to carry.
15:39I can go and have a look now. See if we can find any eggs or a nest on site.
15:45Amongst the remains of the T-Rex victims littered across the den, Nigel finds what he's looking for.
16:00Unfortunately, he's too late.
16:04This is all I can find. Empty T-Rex eggshells.
16:07They've either been broken into by a predator or more likely their last season's eggs.
16:11And it's so disappointing. If we could have found a fresh T-Rex nest, get the eggs,
16:17take them back to Prehistoric Park, that would have been the easiest option for us.
16:26Another day, and he's still no closer to saving a T-Rex.
16:30And up above are the first signs that the meteorite is closing in.
16:35Streaking across tonight's sky are shooting stars.
16:39Huge boulders are plowing into the Earth's atmosphere at 20,000 miles an hour.
16:45They are the precursor of something much, much bigger.
16:48Look at this cosmological activity going on here. Those are meteors.
16:58Nothing to worry about. They burn up in the atmosphere.
17:01But they're in the bow wave of the meteorite.
17:03And a meteorite, when that comes through, that's going to smack into the Earth.
17:07And that's the problem. And, you know, we really have got such little time here.
17:11But I'm hoping tomorrow it's going to go better and we can save a T-Rex or two.
17:16The next day, the pack of T-Rex turn up, looking for trouble.
17:35They're after their favorite food. Triceratops.
17:44Charging for the Triceratops. Right in the midst of the herd there.
17:54And what the T-Rex will do, they'll find the weakest.
17:59A fully grown Triceratops is far from defenseless.
18:03Their frill is made of solid bone.
18:06Triceratops!
18:08The Trissus.
18:11The T-Rex, the T-Rex, the T-Rex, the T-Rex, the T-Rex, the T-Rex, the T-Rex.
18:16And what the T-Rex will do, they'll find the weakest.
18:19A fully grown Triceratops is far from defenseless.
18:23Their frill is made of solid bone.
18:26But the younger Triceratops know better than to stand their ground.
18:38The baby Triceratops has run the wrong way.
18:54The more it struggles, the more trouble it's in as the T-Rex's 13-inch serrated teeth sink deeper and deeper.
19:06But help is at hand.
19:08And there's a Triceratops here fighting back the big female T-Rex.
19:16The horn's gone right into the upper thigh.
19:23And the males have just left her, they've just skedaddled.
19:32So much for the pack.
19:35Now the injured female has to make her own kill.
19:39It looks like she's spotted her next victim.
19:42Another youngster.
19:48For Nigel, it's the chance he's been waiting for.
19:51He sets up the time portal.
19:53I may be able to get two dinosaur species for the price of one.
19:58If I can lure the Triceratops through the time portal, come on.
20:04And then maybe the T-Rex will follow.
20:17But weighing in at three tons, this young male Triceratops is a great start.
20:36It's not long before news spreads that prehistoric park's first dinosaur has arrived.
20:55The park's vet, Suzanne, heads over to take a look for herself.
21:02It's a Triceratops.
21:03It's a Triceratops.
21:04It's a Triceratops.
21:05It's done it.
21:06Our first dinosaur.
21:07Look at him.
21:08He's magnificent.
21:11Park keeper Bob is keen to move the newcomer into a secure enclosure as soon as possible.
21:36Although he was an unexpected arrival,
21:38Nigel thinks they've got the perfect place to put him.
21:41Come on.
21:42I need to have a look at that.
21:43Up you go.
21:45Triceratops, our first dinosaur.
21:48And we need a good place to keep him.
21:50I'm going to call him Theo.
21:51I think that's a great name for him.
21:53But he needs vegetation to browse on.
21:55Bob and I have looked over here.
21:56Too much grass.
21:57So Bob's found the perfect spot down here by the river.
22:02And that's where his enclosure's going to be.
22:05And I think they're just about to unload him.
22:08Hello.
22:09All right, Nigel.
22:10I'm thrilled to bits.
22:11How are you?
22:12Short notice or what?
22:13I'll forgive you though.
22:14Our new visitor is magnificent to say the least.
22:15And how's the enclosure?
22:16Well, it's a bit makeshift.
22:17It'll do for the time being.
22:18Yeah, that's how I look.
22:19I see.
22:20I've given him a name as well.
22:21Theo the Triceratops.
22:22Theo, good name.
22:23All right, let him out.
22:24Here he comes.
22:25Here he comes.
22:26Here he comes.
22:27Whoa, whoa, whoa.
22:28Look at that.
22:29Plenty for him to eat.
22:30Well done, Bob.
22:31It's great.
22:32All right, lads.
22:33Come on.
22:34Get the boats away and they're tripped out of here.
22:35Really pleased with this habitat for the Triceratops.
22:36Grass is no good for dinosaurs.
22:37It hadn't evolved when they were around.
22:38And the Triceratops is not like a cow.
22:39It doesn't graze.
22:40What it does, it's a browser like a black rhinoceros.
22:41It needs low shrubs and trees.
22:42There's plenty of those for Theo here and it's got such good sides.
22:43It's just a bit of a bee.
22:44It's just a bit of a bee.
22:45It's a bit of a bee.
22:46I can't get that.
22:47Look at that.
22:48Plenty for him to eat.
22:49Well done, Bob.
22:50It's great.
22:51All right, lads.
22:52Come on.
22:53Get the boats away and the trip out of here.
22:54Really pleased with this habitat for the Triceratops.
22:57Grass is no good for dinosaurs.
22:58It hadn't evolved when they were around.
23:00And the Triceratops is not like a cow.
23:02It doesn't graze.
23:03What it does, it's a browser like a black rhinoceros.
23:05It needs low shrubs and trees.
23:07There's plenty of those for Theo here.
23:09And it's got such a beak, it can snap off branches as thick as my arm.
23:14So this is going to be great for him to thrive.
23:19For Theo to grow to eight tonnes, he'll have to spend most of his life eating.
23:27With the park's first dinosaur settled,
23:30Nigel turns his attention once again to T-Rex.
23:33And the pressure's back on Bob to finish off the enclosure.
23:37I didn't have a clue how to start building a compound for a Tyrannosaurus rex.
23:41I've only ever seen a picture of one in the storybook.
23:44But Nigel seems to think that this will do.
23:46I mean, there's lots of area for it to run around,
23:48and there's lots of shade to get out of the sun.
23:51And I've built it at the bottom of the hill,
23:53so if it wants to do, it can stand up there and survey its domain.
23:59The enclosure will have to be finished soon,
24:02because Nigel's on his way back to where he left off 65 million years ago.
24:11And this time, he's promised to return with a T-Rex.
24:15It's not just the dinosaurs that will be wiped out by an ametiorite hit.
24:37Nigel knows that everything he sees around him will be devastated.
24:40What a magnificent place.
24:46Parasau's swooping overhead.
24:48You can hear them calling all of the time.
24:52And sweet water.
24:55But it's hard to believe this stream will be choked with ash and dust.
24:59The meteorite is going to hit not too far away.
25:02And time is running out.
25:03This is my second rescue mission,
25:05and I am determined to save some T-Rex for Prehistoric Park.
25:09There are lots of dinosaur tracks to follow,
25:23but Nigel's interested in one set in particular.
25:27There's something strange with these tracks.
25:30Look, this one here, the toes have been dragged along,
25:34and I think it's the female T-Rex that was gored in the stampede.
25:46We're pretty close to where the Triceratops stampede was.
25:49You can see where she's dragged her toes through the sand.
25:52She's injured, and if she's got an injury,
25:54she'll be moving pretty slowly.
25:56And if we head downstream, follow these tracks,
25:58we may be able to catch her up.
25:59The track takes him downriver,
26:11where he's hoping to gain ground on the T-Rex.
26:20With any luck, her leg injury will make her slower
26:23and a little easier to catch.
26:29Listen, her footfall's reverberating around the whole valley.
26:37She's up there somewhere.
26:39And an animal that weighs six tons,
26:41they can't walk quietly.
26:43And there, that's what she's after.
26:45There's a Triceratops corpse,
26:47and she can smell that.
26:49That's why she's been moving steadfastly along the river.
26:52Come on, get on the back.
27:02Jeez, that can't think of what it's to say.
27:04Come on, get on the back.
27:04Jeez, that can't think of what it's to say.
27:04She's starting to move away.
27:31I'm absolutely certain.
27:34It's the female that was attacked by the Triceratops.
27:38She's been able to track down this free meal,
27:41despite being on her own and badly injured,
27:43because T-Rexes have a superb sense of smell.
27:47She's in luck.
27:56The Triceratops carcass has become stuck.
27:59This is Nigel's chance to get really close to her.
28:12And she must be so hungry.
28:14She's desperate for an easy meal.
28:17Even though T-Rex is everyone's ultimate monster,
28:20you just can't help but feel sorry for her.
28:22She's a top predator.
28:23And they're so top-heavy T-Rex,
28:25if she went in this fast-flowing water,
28:27she'd be flipped over easily,
28:29but she's desperate to get at the meat.
28:30We just feel so sorry for her.
28:38She's desperate to get out there,
28:40craning her neck across the water,
28:42but she's got no chance.
28:43The T-Rex limps off,
28:57leaving Nigel to figure out what to do next.
29:00Keep the camera on them.
29:11Back at Prehistoric Park,
29:13Theo, the Triceratops,
29:15is displaying some unusual behaviour.
29:19Bob has asked vet Suzanne to come and take a look.
29:22What on earth is he doing?
29:26He's been doing it all morning.
29:27What do you think it is?
29:29It's going to be a fluid.
29:30I mean, he just keeps the charge.
29:31The training's going to have it doing, isn't he?
29:33Gosh, he's mad.
29:34Oh, my goodness, look.
29:36What? Oh, my goodness.
29:38The poor thing.
29:40Any ideas?
29:42Look at his frill.
29:43It's changed colour.
29:45It wasn't like that before.
29:47Then he's having a huge testosterone surge
29:52and he's thinking that that's one of his mates
29:54and he's kind of going into breeding season
29:55and charging him.
29:56What, do you think he needs a player, mate?
29:58I think he's beating up that tree
29:59because he thinks it's one of his friends.
30:01Look at him.
30:02What?
30:03No, no, I'm just not a very good idea.
30:05Oh, no, what?
30:06Tell me.
30:06Eh?
30:07What?
30:07Wait and see.
30:08Oh.
30:09Okay.
30:17Bob has a plan.
30:24He's convinced he can tame even Theo's teenage tantrums.
30:41Meanwhile, Nigel has at last come up with a plan of his own.
30:47What we're trying is a technique used by game capture teams
30:50for things like antelope.
30:51We know the T-Rex is working her way downriver.
30:54We've got ahead of her.
30:55She won't go over onto this uneven ground.
30:58We know she doesn't like going near the water.
31:00We've built this palisade of logs
31:02and we're going to funnel her straight towards the time portal
31:05and back to the safety of the 21st century.
31:09We hope.
31:13Bye, Adam.
31:14The meteorite's getting ever closer.
31:23So is the T-Rex.
31:26And a herd of Ornithomimus are running scared.
31:34And there she is, the T-Rex.
31:35That's why they're spooked.
31:37And if we're lucky, she'll chase them right through the time portal
31:48and we could have a breeding colony of Ornithomimus
31:51at prehistoric park.
31:55Trapped between the T-Rex and the 21st century,
31:59they opt for the portal.
32:00Yep, one, two.
32:03They are fountains, three.
32:06The whole pharaoh's off them.
32:07Bob, he's going to get a real surprise.
32:14Oh, my Gideon.
32:18Nigel, Nigel, what have you done?
32:23Suzanne, we've got a bit of a situation here.
32:25One Ornithomimus is slower than the rest.
32:37Oh, that was close.
32:56She took the Ornithomimus right there.
32:59It's just a snack for her.
33:00It was a juvenile.
33:05Time's running out.
33:06We must follow her.
33:12With its catch still uneaten,
33:14the hungry T-Rex limps off back the way she came.
33:22And I can't understand.
33:23Why doesn't she just devour the Ornithomimus?
33:29We just cannot afford to lose her.
33:31I do not want to go back to prehistoric park empty-handed.
33:36Back at prehistoric park,
33:45Bob's settling in the herd of highly-strung Ornithomimus.
33:49All right, they're still a bit stressed out from the capture.
33:57They're just walking round and round the perimeter fence.
34:00I suppose they're checking out their new home.
34:02But they'll be all right.
34:05I'm not going to feed them till tomorrow, though.
34:07Just let them settle in a bit.
34:08With that job done,
34:20Bob's back to his workshop,
34:22where his plan for the bad-tempered Triceratops
34:25is now in full swing.
34:27Nigel,
34:33Nigel,
34:35let's go on that one up there.
34:36All right.
34:37Nigel's still tracking the T-Rex.
34:43Nigel's still tracking the T-Rex.
34:59She's almost on her last legs.
35:14Moving so slowly now,
35:16Nigel's had a chance to catch up.
35:23But where she's going remains a mystery.
35:26Nigel is about to find out.
35:42It's been a long climb,
35:44but worth it.
35:45There's babies there.
35:49Even though she's badly injured,
35:51the babies need food.
35:52That's why she's brought the Ornithomimus
35:53all the way up here.
35:55But paleontologists,
35:56they've long suspected
35:57that dinosaurs show parental care.
36:01And for us,
36:02it's fantastic.
36:03We can get a whole family of T-Rex
36:05back to prehistoric park.
36:11But Nigel's optimism
36:13is short-lived.
36:15The male really wants that carcass.
36:23And the young are hiding.
36:25If he sees them,
36:28they could be in trouble.
36:29I'm sure, like all reptiles,
36:43T-Rex can be cannibalistic.
36:44The male really wants that carcass.
36:45The male really wants that carcass.
36:46The male really wants that carcass.
36:47The male really wants that carcass.
36:48The male really wants that carcass.
36:49The male really wants that carcass.
36:50The male really wants that carcass.
36:51The male really wants that carcass.
36:52The male really wants that carcass.
36:53The male really wants that carcass.
36:54The male really wants that carcass.
36:55The male really wants that carcass.
36:56The male really wants that carcass.
36:57The male really wants that carcass.
36:58The male really wants that carcass.
36:59The male really wants that carcass.
37:00The male really wants that carcass.
37:01The male really wants that carcass.
37:02The male really wants that carcass.
37:03The male really wants that carcass.
37:04Let's go.
37:34She's finished now, the baby's there, there's no chance for her, the mum, all little things, can't see any movement at all here.
38:04Let's go.
38:19Hundreds of miles away, the meteorite has finally entered the Earth's atmosphere at 20,000 miles an hour.
38:26The sonic boom it creates is one of the loudest noises the world has ever known.
38:46As it strikes the Gulf of Mexico, it causes an explosion 7 billion times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.
38:59It releases a blast front, moving at 100 times the speed of sound.
39:06This devastation is just the start.
39:16The cloud of ash will soar into the sky and molten rock will start raining down, igniting global wildfires.
39:24And as it mushrooms out, it will engulf the entire world in a blanket of darkness.
39:30All this is just three minutes away.
39:38Nigel will have to think fast.
39:42Has anyone got any food? Anything that smells?
39:45We need Yoda to try to entice the T-Rex babies through the time portal.
39:49Just hope we can make it.
40:07This must work.
40:09We've only got seconds left and they should be curious about the meaty smell of a sandwich.
40:13Come on.
40:14They're more likely to lunge at me.
40:18Attack me. Come on.
40:20You've got to come. We've got to get you back.
40:23That's it. Come on.
40:24Yes.
40:25You've got to get you back.
40:46Nigel has finally managed to rescue T-Rex from extinction.
41:16The two T-Rex babies are now safely in the observation pen.
41:31Suzanne is making sure they're in good health before they're taken to their permanent enclosure.
41:37They still look a bit undernourished, but I'm sure Bob will be able to sort them out.
41:44They're eating really well.
41:47They're only little, but they're still so powerful, aren't they?
41:56They're cool, aren't they?
42:09Prehistoric Park is now home to its first ever dinosaurs.
42:14But vet Suzanne is concerned that one of them doesn't seem all that happy about being here.
42:21He really doesn't look very happy, Nigel.
42:26He really doesn't look very happy, Nigel.
42:28He stares like that.
42:30He really doesn't like me.
42:31Look!
42:32Back, Suzanne!
42:33He's trying to...
42:35You are trying to shake us up.
42:42I mean, Theo, he's got such attitude now, hasn't he?
42:45He's taken such a dislike to you.
42:47He doesn't like you at all, does he?
42:48I've seen this before.
42:49I hand-reared a fox, and when it got mature, it was a male as well.
42:53It started biting and attacking me, and I think that's what's happened.
42:56He's just mature, and there's hormones fizzing through his body.
42:59There's too much testosterone.
43:00You know, males are endlessly competitive.
43:02They always have to win, don't they?
43:03You know that.
43:08Bob, what have you done now?
43:10At last, Bob's plan is unveiled.
43:14Look at this contraption!
43:17Hey, stop!
43:18Hey!
43:19Get the gates!
43:20This is man's work!
43:22Watch out, Theo!
43:26We're coming!
43:29Woo-hoo!
43:30Good luck, boys!
43:34You made it!
43:35You made it!
43:40Come on, Theo!
43:41Come on!
43:43Where are you?
43:45Whoa!
43:46He charmed some over there!
43:47He charmed some in the bamboo!
43:50Get in my lap, Duke!
43:51Bob's contraption is not as daft as it seems.
43:54The tyre-padded tractor is a worthy opponent for Theo,
43:58giving him something to take his aggression out of.
44:01It's a tactic gamekeepers use on rhinos.
44:05Okay, Bob!
44:06Yeah!
44:07And it looks like it's walking.
44:11Giving all the boys a chance to let off steam.
44:14He's stopping it, isn't he?
44:15Look at him staring us out!
44:17Right, right.
44:18We're getting at him.
44:20Well, that's why he's got these breeding colours.
44:22This is his first breeding scene, yeah?
44:24He'd take on anything!
44:25He's taking on us!
44:27Wee-haw!
44:28Wee-haw!
44:29Wee-haw!
44:30Wee-haw!
44:31Wee-haw!
44:32Wee-haw!
44:34Wee-haw!
44:35Wee-haw!
44:40Wee-haw!
44:42that was great fun exhausting well never thought i'd joust with a triceratops but that's what they
44:55used to do in the wild fossils look at this you can see they've got injuries on the frill and on
45:00the neck they obviously had jousting tournaments in nature certainly keeping our boy occupied
45:06but what i've got to be careful of he's got to win every time you can't get too excited with him i
45:10don't want him to injure himself because he's such a magnificent specimen
45:14nigel's dream of having a park full of prehistoric creatures he's saved from extinction is beginning
45:31to take shape the ornithomimus are getting used to their new home
45:36the triceratops has calmed down and the t-rex babies have been put into their new enclosure
45:47fantastic well done bob that wasn't just me it was the lads it's overkill now when they're tiny but
45:56when they're big it's perfect enclosure fantastic and have you seen them at all well that's as i put
46:02them in there that disappeared off the face of the earth there's places for them to hide they're
46:10not going to be stressed and look there
46:12using some names to identify them i've done that all right okay what matilda for the big female she's
46:22much bigger and stockier and then terrence he's a bit puny for the younger male what do you think
46:27rob telling some matilda very nice nigel it's not so bad it's kind of cute really i guess yeah i'll
46:32tell you what though they're not going to stay cute for long nigel's right the t-rex will double
46:39their body weight every year until full size turning terrence and matilda into the most ferocious
46:45killing machines for 65 million years let's hope prehistoric park knows what it's letting itself in for
46:54next time nigel sets his sights on a mammoth from the ice age but he's going to have to overcome the
47:06cold climate and a hostile reception managing the prehistoric creatures nigel brings back will
47:17definitely not be as easy as they first thought close the gate
47:47so
47:49you
