00:02Hi, this is Jen! We're a team out on a mission!
00:05Our magic pot takes us on a dino expedition!
00:08We're going back to 68 million years ago!
00:11It's Andy's Dino Island!
00:13Ready, steady, go!
00:141, 2, 3, 4, let's all go to Andy's Dino Island!
00:20I'm trying to throw!
00:21Following the dino, discovering what they do!
00:26Yeah, you can come through!
00:27And the expedition tent is our base camp and our home!
00:30We're back in the contagious times, where dinos roll!
00:33Perhaps we'll see a T-Rex or a Raptor when we go!
00:36So let's have another great show!
00:38It's time to start the show!
00:392, 3, 4, let's all go to Andy's Dino Island!
00:44You can do it!
00:45I'll join the crew!
00:47Following the dino, discovering what they do!
00:51Yeah, go through!
00:53Come to Andy's Dino Island!
00:56Andy's Dino Island!
01:07Where is it? I know it's around here somewhere…
01:09Yeah, got it!
01:12Oh, hello. I'm Andy. Whoa. I'm trying to measure this Alamosaurus, one of the longest dinosaurs
01:22that ever lived. Hopefully, she'll stay still long enough while she's munching on these ferns
01:27for me to measure exactly how long she really is. Right. Easy, girl. Stay there.
01:36One metre. Two metres. Three metres. Oh, I'm going to need a longer tape measure. Whoa, what's
01:51that? I think she spotted something. It's a T-Rex. Not to worry, though. Alamosaurus are
02:02so big, even a T-Rex would struggle to make a meal of it. Unfortunately, I can't say the
02:08same for myself. I think I'll head back to camp before it spots me. I'll have to measure
02:15you later, Alamosaurus. Oh. Oh. Excuse me.
02:36Jane, I don't sup... Oh. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
02:49Oh. Good morning, Andy, what are you looking for? Morning, Jen. Do we have a long tape measure
02:54around here somewhere? How long? Really, really long. I'm trying to measure
02:58an Alamosaurus. I found one by the forest earlier on, eating some ferns. An Alamosaurus?
03:05I'll show you.
03:09It's a sauropod dinosaur that roamed North America around 65 to 70 million years ago.
03:15I see why you need a long tape measure.
03:18It's from a group of dinosaurs called titanosaurs,
03:21which includes some of the largest land animals that ever lived.
03:24The one I saw was so big, it wasn't even scared of a T-Rex.
03:28Wow, I suppose that's one of the reasons why titanosaurs are so large,
03:32to protect themselves from predatory dinosaurs.
03:35It could take them around 30 years to become fully-sized adults.
03:38That's a lot longer than us humans.
03:40Oh, wait, then how do they protect themselves for the first few years
03:45when they're only little baby Alamosaurus?
03:48Oh, I don't know, Jen. That's a good question.
03:51Well, I'm planning on doing some measuring myself today.
03:55Has it got anything to do with that giant balloon out there?
03:57Yes, it does. Come on, let me show you.
04:05This is my weather balloon.
04:06I made it to carry this special instrument high up into the sky
04:10where it can measure temperature, humidity, wind speeds and lots of other things.
04:14Wow, it's a mega-measuring machine.
04:17Well, it'll certainly tell us a lot about the weather here on Dino Island.
04:21I fitted it with a tracker so once the balloon comes down,
04:24we can use our gizmos to find it and retrieve all the data.
04:28Brilliant. Can we launch it now?
04:30Of course. I just need to attach my mega-measuring machine.
04:35Oh, um...
04:37Let me find something for you to stand on.
04:39Ah, silly me. You can just pull it down.
04:43Er...
04:44Ah.
04:46This should do it.
04:49Whoa!
04:51Jean!
04:53Are you all right?
04:55I'm OK!
04:57But I'll have to keep holding on until the balloon comes down again!
05:00Don't worry! I'll come and find you!
05:03But how will I know where you land?
05:06Use the tracker!
05:08Huh?
05:09You want some crackers?
05:10I'm not sure this is the best time for food, Jen.
05:13Besides, we don't have any cheese!
05:16No!
05:17Use the tracker!
05:20Oh, the tracker, of course!
05:22I can use my gizmo to track down the mega-measuring machine and find Jen,
05:27before a giant hungry dinosaur does.
05:29Hold on, Jen! I'm coming!
05:32Time to go on a dino island adventure!
05:34The tracker!
05:40Hat!
05:42Check!
05:43Waistecouch!
05:43Check!
05:44Backpack!
05:45Check!
05:46Gizmo!
05:47Check!
06:08Oh, crossing this jungle is hard work, there are so many obstacles, but this is the way
06:15the balloon flew. If Jen landed in here, she could be standing right next to me and I still wouldn't
06:20spot her. Did you hear that? Maybe it's Jen? Jen? That's definitely not Jen. Well, this jungle is scary. Come
06:40on.
06:48Oh, these look like the same ferns that the Alamosaurus were eating this morning.
06:53There's no way an Alamosaurus could fit in here though. Ferns are one of the oldest groups of
06:58plants on earth. They've been around for almost 350 million years and they've been food to lots
07:04of different dinosaurs. What was that? Hello. It's a baby Alamosaurus. Turns out Alamosaurus can fit in here
07:20after all. Only a very, very small one. It's incredible to think that in 30 years this tiny
07:27dino might grow to be the size of a house. How did it end up in here? Have you lost,
07:34little one?
07:35There's that strange call again. It can't be the T-Rex we saw this morning. It wouldn't be able to
07:41get
07:41through this dense vegetation either. Wait a second. That's it. You're not lost. This is how little
07:52Alamosaurus protect themselves from large predators by hiding in the jungle.
08:00And there's another one. Hello. So this isn't a scary place at all. This is a safe place. Large
08:08predators can't get them in here and there's lots of delicious ferns for them to eat so they can grow
08:13big and strong before they head out to the open plains to join their adults. I can't wait to tell
08:19Jen.
08:19Oh. That's if I can find her. We'll see you later, little dinos. Right. This way.
08:49I can't hear you. You're too far away.
08:53She looks pleased to see me though.
08:56Hang on. Hang on. I'll come to you. Luckily, I always pack my rubber dinghy.
09:09Let's go.
09:16Wow. She really is pleased to see me. What was that you were saying, Jen?
09:21There's a giant crocodile in the lake. Oh. She said, there's a giant crocodile in the lake.
09:32There's a giant crocodile in the lake.
09:35What?
09:50Andy, are you okay?
09:53I'm okay, thanks, Jen. I just wasn't expecting that. I completely forgot that crocodilians lived alongside dinosaurs.
10:00Yes, it's a dinosuchus and it's as long as two cars. Wow. I'm glad you're okay too, Jen. Sorry about
10:08your unexpected balloon ride.
10:10It's okay. Flying was a lot of fun, actually. Oh.
10:13Until I crash landed on this island.
10:17But I did get some great readings on my mega measuring machine.
10:20Oh, nice one, Jen. Right. How do we get off this island? Now that my dinghy has a dinosuchus bite
10:27-sized hole in it.
10:28Oh.
10:28I know. We could build a raft.
10:31I already did.
10:32Really? Where?
10:34The dinosuchus ate it.
10:36Oh.
10:39Whoa.
10:40Oh, what now?
10:43It's an animasaurus.
10:45The same one I saw this morning.
10:48Oh, wow. No wonder you wanted to measure it. It's enormous.
10:53I know. She's not afraid of a crocodilian. Even a giant prehistoric one like dinosuchus.
10:59Hang on. Didn't you say earlier that the alamosaurus loves munching on frogs?
11:06Yes. Can't get enough of them.
11:10Oh, I see what you're thinking.
11:12You put the dinghy and the balloon away, and I'll grab some ferns.
11:15Got it.
11:20Jimmy! An animasaurus!
11:23There are lots of lovely, delicious ferns over here.
11:26No.
11:29No.
11:30Is it working?
11:32Oh.
11:32Oh.
11:32Oh.
11:35Come on, Jen.
11:38No.
11:41Oh.
11:42Oh.
11:43Quick.
11:44We'd better hurry.
11:44Before she finishes...
11:46Eat it!
11:51Oh!
11:53Oh!
11:54Oh!
11:56Oh!
11:58Oh!
11:58Oh, all right!
11:59I know!
12:01Oh!
12:01I'm just in time.
12:03The dinosuchus is on the island.
12:05And it's huge.
12:07Oh, not as big as the alamosaurus still.
12:09Yes.
12:10I still don't know exactly how long our sauropod saviour is.
12:13But I'm not going back over there to measure it.
12:16I did find out how baby alamosaurus stay safe though.
12:20I'll tell you all about it on our way back to camp.
12:21See you later, alamosaurus.
12:44Well, I've managed to repair my rubber dinghy with the puncture repair kit.
12:47And I've downloaded all the data from my surprise balloon ride.
12:50Oh.
12:53It's a shame we didn't find out how long an alamosaurus is.
12:56I think we did.
12:57We did?
12:58Yes.
12:59My mega-measuring machine was still on when we slid down the alamosaurus.
13:03From the top of its head to the end of its tail, it was...
13:0821 metres.
13:09Oh, 21 metres!
13:12That's almost as long as two double-decker buses.
13:15Then I'd say today is officially our biggest adventure yet.
13:18Agreed.
13:19I can't wait to go on another one.
13:21See you next time!
13:24See you next time!
13:25See you next time!
