00:03There is something missing from our world.
00:08The amazing animals that time has left behind.
00:13But what if we could bring them back?
00:16What 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
00:33to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction.
00:37His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present
00:41and give them a second chance.
00:46On his very first mission, he hopes to rescue one of the last of the dinosaurs
00:51from the most dramatic extinction ever.
00:58Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary.
01:03Welcome to Prehistoric Park.
01:19It's a big day at Prehistoric Park.
01:25Throughout this huge reserve, everyone is busy preparing for the first arrivals.
01:31Come on, lad, as quick as you like.
01:35Can 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, check everything. It is going up to a dangerous creature.
01:50If 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.
02:08There'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.
02:30One 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
02:40in the 21st century.
02:44And Nigel knows exactly what he wants to start with.
02:47The meanest and scariest of them all.
02:52Tyrannosaurus Rex.
02:59He's already worked out when and where he'll have to go to track one down.
03:05The most widely accepted theory about why dinosaurs became extinct
03:08is 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.
03:20Around that time, there were masses of T-Rex here somewhere in Montana.
03:24And I need to go back there to find them.
03:37To rescue the last of the T-Rex, Nigel is going back to the very end of the age of
03:43dinosaurs.
03:45As close to the meteorite impact as he does.
03:49The first event I saw here in the Lord of the Month,
03:49Equipment four systems ofbooks of the ashes,
04:05and the rain was going to leave now.
04:07It's a great idea.
04:0865 million years ago, Montana looks very different.
04:13This is a world before grass,
04:16where volcanoes dominate the landscape.
04:22Here, T-Rex is king.
04:26Now all Nigel needs to do is to find one.
04:37In a place with so many potential dangers,
04:40Nigel and his team know the sooner they accomplish their mission,
04:44the better.
04:51I just hope I'm bitten off more than I can chew.
04:53We've got so little time.
04:56There's some wonderful forest over there, perfect habitat,
04:59and I think that's where we'll begin our search for T-Rex.
05:02How's it going here?
05:18T-Rex is a monster.
05:21At a staggering 45 feet long and 5 tons,
05:25it shouldn't be too hard to track one down.
05:42What he'll do when he does find one is not exactly clear.
05:55T-Rex are not the only creatures around.
06:00This must be a trackway.
06:03And look.
06:06You 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 now the first evidence of dinosaurs.
06:17It's hard 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.
06:29Not as big as T-Rex, of course, and vegetarians,
06:32you can tell by the leaves that they've eaten.
06:34And they've gone this way.
06:36This is a big trackway.
06:37There must be quite a few of them.
06:39And they've gone down this way.
06:41His hunch is right.
06:47There's animals rustling.
06:53And this is what normally happens when you're searching for reptiles.
06:56You hear them before you see them.
06:58You hear them scurrying the way through the bushes.
07:01They're still moving around there.
07:06This could be our first dinosaurs.
07:13You see that?
07:17Ornithomimus, I've seen the fossils in these waves.
07:20Ornithomimus means bird mimic.
07:22And you can see why exactly like an ostrich.
07:28See how close we can.
07:35I went right through you, that was a warning, and look, all the others were all looking up,
07:41who must have been the sentry, and the others were looking at us now, heads popping up all over the
07:46place.
07:49And they're vegetarians, but they won't turn their noses, they won't turn their beaks up at the odd insect,
07:55or a bit of meat, and completely the opposite of what you'd imagine a dinosaur to be,
08:01like these beaks at the front, they've got ridges inside, just like modern ducks and geese,
08:06and they use those to crush their food.
08:10And this is terrific, our first dinosaur.
08:17These ornithomimus will soon be extinct too, unless, of course, Nigel can save one.
08:24I'd love a breeding herd of ornithomimus at Pierce Strike Park,
08:27but we need a technique for catching them,
08:31and I think this will work, I've done it with ostriches.
08:37And what you do is slip a sock over their head, as soon as you cover their eyes they calm
08:40down.
08:42The only trouble, what I've got, is these things can run at 40 miles per hour.
08:47There's so many in this herd, though, if I can get in the midst of them they'll be commotion,
08:52and hopefully I can grab hold of one of them.
09:21I'm so scared.
09:24Oh, when you're talking to this,
09:38But now there's something else to contend with, something much, much bigger.
09:45It looks like the T-Rex have found Nigel before Nigel can find them.
10:21Nigel does have one advantage.
10:24T-Rex is so top-heavy that if they trip, the fall can kill them.
10:35A bite of Nigel isn't worth the risk.
10:39Now, mate, get down!
10:49So close, mate.
10:51They don't like confined spaces like this, and that's why the T-Rex are staying back there,
10:57I'm sure.
11:00I think what we've got to do now is go back to camp.
11:13Day one over, and there's no T-Rex to take home.
11:20At least there's no sign of the meteorite either.
11:23But it can't be far away.
11:43The following morning, the camp has some visitors.
11:53More creatures in the last throes of their existence.
11:59A glorious sight to wake up to, a big herd of Triceratops.
12:08Tremendous sight.
12:09When the fossils were found, they named these things Triceratops horridus.
12:13It means horrid three-horned face.
12:15But how could they?
12:17They are gorgeous.
12:27And big too.
12:29Eight tons.
12:30And one over there, that's a big male.
12:32It's at least 25 feet, 20 meters long.
12:36And the good thing for us is there is a lot of them.
12:39They're prey animals for T-Rex.
12:40I've seen some tracks of the predator over there.
12:43Prey and predator attracted to water holes.
12:46And what I'm going to try to do is follow the tracks and see if we can find a T
12:50-Rex lair.
13:10The footprints are fresh, and it looks like a well-used track.
13:17T-Rex are fast movers, reaching 40 miles an hour when they need to.
13:25Nigel's hoping these ones aren't too far away.
13:31These tracks are really beginning to tell a story. Look here. Depression in the ash. That was a big tail
13:37sweep.
13:38And there's impressions here from bodies. There was a kerfuffle here, I think. Another tail drag over there.
13:44And the tracks are going on. I think we're getting towards the center of the territory.
13:50What Nigel doesn't realize is he's actually already in the center of their territory.
14:05The tracks go. Get out of here.
14:10Look at that.
14:13Come on. This is their home.
14:16There's bones scattered all over the place. They obviously bring food back here.
14:22It's terrific. And that kerfuffle back there, that must have been when the juveniles are fighting over scraps of food
14:29or something.
14:29It's dangerous play.
14:33T-Rex have huge jaw muscles, giving them about ten times more powerful than a lion's.
14:41And there's males and females. I presume they're males over there.
14:44But in the fossil record, T-Rex skeletons, they've been found together.
14:49And that's a clue that they associate.
14:59They're a real mob, like a gang, looking for trouble.
15:04They really interact. And I wonder if they hunt in packs.
15:18Suddenly, they all started moving this way.
15:26It's one thing to find a team-mate, but it's another thing to take one home.
15:34Fortunately, dinosaurs lay eggs, and they're a lot easier to carry.
15:40I can go and have a look now, see if we can find any eggs or a nesting site.
15:52Amongst the remains of the T-Rex victims littered across the den, Nigel finds what he's looking for.
16:01Unfortunately, he's too late.
16:03This is all I can find. Empty T-Rex eggshells.
16:06They've either been broken into by a predator or, more likely, their last season's eggs.
16:11And it's so disappointing.
16:13If we could have found a fresh T-Rex nest, get the eggs, take them back to Prehistoric Park,
16:18that would have been the easiest option for us.
16:25Another 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.
16:40Huge boulders are plowing into the Earth's atmosphere at 20,000 miles an hour.
16:45They are the precursor of something much, much bigger.
16:54Look at this cosmological activity going on here.
16:56Those are meteors. Nothing to worry about.
16:59They burn up in the atmosphere.
17:00But 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.
17:08And, you know, we really have got such little time here.
17:11But I'm hoping tomorrow it's going to go better.
17:13And we can save a T-Rex or two.
17:29The next day, the pack of T-Rex turn up, looking for trouble.
17:40They're after their favorite food.
17:43Triceratops.
18:03Charging for the Triceratops.
18:05Right in the midst of the herd there.
18:12And what the T-Rex will do, they'll find the weakest.
18:16A fully grown Triceratops is far from defenseless.
18:21Their frill is made of solid bone.
18:32But the younger Triceratops know better than to stand their ground.
18:42They've been hit while trying.
18:49The baby Triceratops has run the wrong way.
18:56The more it struggles, the more trouble it's in as the T-Rex's 13-inch serrated teeth sink deeper and
19:04deeper.
19:06But help is at hand.
19:08And there's a Triceratops here fighting back the big female T-Rex.
19:17The horn's gone right into the upper thigh.
19:28And 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.
19:39Looks like she's spotted her next victim.
19:43Another youngster.
19:44So much for Nigel, it's the chance he's been waiting for.
19:52He sets up the time portal.
19:54We may be able to get two dinosaur species for the price of one.
20:03If I can lure the Triceratops through the time portal, come on.
20:09And then maybe the T-Rex will follow.
20:24Come on, T-Rex.
20:27Come on.
20:37Come on, T-Rex.
20:37That's certainly not a T-Rex.
20:40But weighing in at three tons, this young male Triceratops is a great start.
20:49It's not long before news spreads that Prehistoric Park's first dinosaur has arrived.
20:57The park's vet, Suzanne, heads over to take a look for herself.
21:03It's a Triceratops! It's a Triceratops! He's done it! Our first dinosaur to look at him.
21:10His magnificent self.
21:25Park keeper Bob is keen to move the newcomer into a secure enclosure as soon as possible.
21:30Well, that's far enough.
21:36Although he was an unexpected arrival, Nigel thinks they've got the perfect place to put him.
21:42Come on, I need to have a look at that. Up you go.
21:47We've got Triceratops, our first dinosaur, and we need a good place to keep him.
21:51I'm going to call him Theo. I think that's a great name for him.
21:54But he needs vegetation to browse on. Bob and I have looked over here. Too much grass.
21:58So Bob's found the perfect spot down here by the river.
22:03And that's where his enclosure's going to be.
22:05And I think they're just about to unload him.
22:18Hello.
22:19All right, Nigel.
22:20I'm thrilled to bits our first dinosaur.
22:22Short notice, or what? I'll forgive you though.
22:24Our new visitor is magnificent, to say the least.
22:27And how's the enclosure?
22:27Well, it's a bit makeshift, but it'll do for the time being.
22:30Yeah, let's have a look. I'll see.
22:32I've given him a name as well.
22:34Theo the Triceratops.
22:35Theo, good name.
22:36All right, let him out.
22:38Here he comes. Here he comes.
22:39Whoa, whoa, whoa.
22:42Look at that.
22:44Plenty for him to eat. Well done, Bob.
22:45It's great.
22:47All right, lads.
22:48Come on, get the boats away and the truck out of here.
22:54Really pleased with this habitat for the Triceratops.
22:56Grass is no good for dinosaurs.
22:58It hadn't evolved when they were around.
23:00And a 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.
23:13So this is going to be great for him to thrive.
23:19For Theo to grow to eight tons, he'll have to spend most of his life eating.
23:27With the park's first dinosaur settled, Nigel turns his attention once again to T-Rex.
23:33And the pressure's back on Bob to finish off the enclosure.
23:36I 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, and there's lots of shade to get out of
23:50the sun.
23:51And I've built it at the bottom of the hill, so if it wants to do, it can stand up
23:54there and survey its domain.
23:59The enclosure will have to be finished soon, because Nigel's on his way back to where he left off 65
24:06million years ago.
24:11And this time, he's promised to return with a T-Rex.
24:31It's not just the dinosaurs that will be wiped out by an ametorite hit.
24:37Nigel knows that everything he sees around him will be devastated.
24:44What a magnificent place.
24:46Parasaurs swooping overhead.
24:48You can hear them calling all of the time.
24:52And sweet water.
24:54But 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, and time is running out.
25:03This is my second rescue mission, and I am determined to save some T-Rex from prehistoric path.
25:20There are lots of dinosaur tracks to follow, but 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, she'll be moving pretty slowly.
25:56And if we head downstream, follow these tracks, we may be able to catch her up.
26:09The track takes him downriver, where he's hoping to gain ground on the T-Rex.
26:20With any luck, her leg injury will make her slower and a little easier to catch.
26:33Listen, her footfalls are reverberating around the whole valley.
26:37She's up there somewhere.
26:38And an animal that weighs six tons, they can't walk quietly.
26:43And there, that's what she's after.
26:44There's a... there's a Triceratops corpse, and she can smell that.
26:49And that's why she's been moving steadfastly along the river.
27:00Get under the...
27:02Jeez, they don't think I want us to see her.
27:13Get under the...
27:29Is she starting to move away?
27:32I'm absolutely certain it's the female that was attacked by the Triceratops.
27:38She's been able to track down this free meal, despite being on her own and badly injured,
27:43because T-Rexes have a superb sense of smell.
27:54She's in luck. The Triceratops carcass has become stuck.
27:58This is Nigel's chance to get really close to her.
28:12And she must be so hungry, she's desperate for an easy meal.
28:17Even though T-Rex is everyone's ultimate monster, you just can't help but feel sorry for her.
28:22She's a top predator. I mean, they're so top-heavy T-Rex,
28:25because if she went in this fast-flowing water, she'd be flipped over easily,
28:29but she's desperate to get at the meat.
28:36I just feel so sorry for her. She's desperate to get out there craning her neck across the water,
28:42but she's got no chance.
28:55The T-Rex limps off, leaving Nigel to figure out what to do next.
29:09Keep the camera on them.
29:11Back at Prehistoric Park, Theo, the Triceratops, is displaying some unusual behaviour.
29:19Bob has asked vet Suzanne to come and take a look.
29:24What in the earth is he doing?
29:26He's been doing it all morning.
29:27What do you think it is?
29:29I don't think that could, though.
29:30I mean, he just gives a charge to him.
29:31The training's going to be doing it, isn't it?
29:33Gosh, he's mad. Oh, 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.
29:49Maybe he's having a huge testosterone surge, and he's thinking that that's one of his mates,
29:54and he's kind of going into breeding season and charging him.
29:56What, you think he needs a plyomet?
29:58I think he's beating up that tree, because he thinks it's one of his rooms.
30:01Look at him.
30:02What?
30:03Oh, no, I've just had a very good idea.
30:05Oh, no, what? Tell me.
30:06What?
30:07Wait and see.
30:08Oh.
30:09Okay.
30:16Oh, thanks for that. Just from this side.
30:21Bob 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 for 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.
31:14Bye, Adam.
31:20The meteorite's getting ever closer.
31:23So is the T-Rex.
31:25And a herd of ornithomimus are running scared.
31:34And there she is, the T-Rex. That's why they're spooked.
31:45And if we're lucky, she'll chase them right through the time portal,
31:48and we could have a breeding colony of ornithomimus
31:53at prehistoric park.
31:55Trapped between the T-Rex and the 21st century,
31:59they opt for the portal.
32:00Yeah, one.
32:02Two.
32:03They are bouncing through.
32:05A whole far out of them.
32:07Doc is going to get a real surprise.
32:14Oh, my Gideon.
32:18Nigel, Nigel, what have you done?
32:34One ornithomimus is slower than the rest.
32:54Oh, that was close.
32:56She took the ornithomimus right there.
32:58It's just a snack for her.
33:00It was a juvenile.
33:04Time'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.
33:22I 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.
33:43Back at prehistoric park,
33:45Bob's settling in the herd of highly-strung ornithomimus.
33:53All right.
33:54They're still a bit stressed out from the cup.
33:56Yeah, they're just walking round and round the perimeter fence.
34:00I suppose they're checking out their new home.
34:02It'll be all right.
34:05I'm not going to feed them till tomorrow, though.
34:07Just let them settle in a bit.
34:08I'm not going to feed them.
34:19With 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.
34:33All right, what's going on?
34:35We don't want that one up there.
34:36All right.
34:37Okey-doke.
34:38Come on, lads.
34:40I'm doing a grand job,
34:40but I need this finished this afternoon.
34:56Nigel's still tracking the T-Rex.
35:12She's almost on her last legs, moving so slowly now, Nigel's had a chance to catch up.
35:23But where she's going remains a mystery.
35:30Nigel is about to find out.
35:42It's been a long climb, but worth it. There's babies there.
35:48Even though she's badly injured, the babies need food.
35:52That's why she's brought the Ornithomimus all the way up here.
35:55But paleontologists, they've gotten suspected that dinosaurs show parental care.
36:01And for us, it's fantastic.
36:03We can get a whole family of T-Rex back to prehistoric park.
36:12But Nigel's optimism is short-lived.
36:34The male really wants that carcass.
36:36And the young are hiding.
36:38If he sees them, they could be in trouble.
36:41I'm sure like all Reptors T-Rex can be cannibalistic.
37:31The male really's
37:48I don't know if she's finished now, the baby, there's no chance for her to numb all of the things.
37:56I can't see any movement at all here.
38:19Hundreds of miles away, the meteorite has finally entered the Earth's atmosphere at 20,000 miles an hour.
38:40The sonic boom it creates is one of the loudest noises the world has ever known.
38:50As it strikes the Gulf of Mexico, it causes an explosion seven billion times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.
39:01It releases a blast front, moving at a hundred times the speed of sound.
39:10This 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.
39:25And as it mushrooms out, it will engulf the entire world in a blanket of darkness.
39:34All this is just three minutes away.
39:38Nigel will have to think fast.
39:42We don't have any food, anything that smells.
39:45We need Yoda to try to entice the T-Rex babies through the time portal.
39:50I just hope we can make it.
40:07This must work.
40:08We've only got seconds left and they should be curious about the meaty smell of the savage.
40:13Come on.
40:14They're more likely to lunge at me.
40:18Attack me.
40:18Come on.
40:19You've got to come.
40:20We've got to get you back.
40:23That's it.
40:23Come on.
40:24Yes!
40:49Come on.
40:50Come on.
40:51Come on.
40:51Come on.
40:53Come on.
40:54Come on.
40:55Come on.
40:58Come on.
41:01Come on.
41:02Come on.
41:03Nigel has finally managed to rescue T-Rex from extinction.
41:26The 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.
41:41They 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?
42:12They're cool, aren't they?
42:16But vet Suzanne is concerned that one of them doesn't seem all that happy about being here.
42:25He really doesn't look very happy, Nigel.
42:28He stares like that.
42:30He really doesn't like me.
42:31Look.
42:32Back, Suzanne.
42:32He's trying...
42:40You are trying to shake us up.
42:43You see how 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.
42:50I hand-reared a fox.
42:51And when it got mature, it was a male as well.
42:53It started biting and attacking.
42:55And I think that's what's happened.
42:56He's just matured.
42:57There's hormones fizzing through his body.
42:59There's too much testosterone.
43:00Your males are endlessly competitive.
43:02They always have to win, don't they?
43:04You know that.
43:08Bob, what have you done now?
43:11At last, Bob's plan is unveiled.
43:15Look at this contraption.
43:17Hey, stop!
43:19Hey!
43:19Get the gates!
43:21This is man's work!
43:23This is man's work!
43:27Time for more!
43:29Hey!
43:29Watch out, Theo!
43:30We're coming!
43:32Woo-hoo!
43:33Good luck, boys.
43:35You made it.
43:39Come on, Theo!
43:41Come on!
43:43Where are you?
43:44Come on, Theo!
43:45Oh!
43:46He chanced from over there!
43:47He chanced from the bamboo!
43:50Bob's contraption is not as daft as it seems.
43:54The tire-padded tractor is a worthy opponent for Theo, giving him something to take his aggression
44:00out of.
44:01It's a tactic gamekeepers use on rhinos.
44:05Okay, Bob!
44:06Yeah!
44:06And it looks like it's working.
44:10Giving all the boys a chance to let off steam.
44:14Hello.
44:15Look at him staring us out!
44:17We're getting at him.
44:19Well, 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'd take it on us!
44:27Wee-haw!
44:28Yeah!
44:35Woo!
44:36Woo!
44:36Woo!
44:37Woo!
44:39Woo!
44:42Woo!
44:45Woo!
44:47Woo!
44:48Woo!
44:48Woo!
44:50That was great fun, exhausting.
44:51Well, never thought I'd joust with the Triceratops.
44:54But that's what they used to do in the wild.
44:57Fossils.
44:57Look at this.
44:58You can see they've got injuries on the frill and on the neck.
45:01They 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
45:10with him, I don't want him to injure himself, because he's such a magnificent specimen.
45:23Nigel's dream of having a park full of prehistoric creatures he's saved from extinction is beginning
45:30to take shape. The Ornithomimus are getting used to their new home. The Triceratops has
45:40calmed down and the t-rex babies have been put into their new enclosure. Fantastic, well done Bob.
45:52That wasn't just me, it was the lads. It's overkill now when they're tiny but when they're big it's
45:57perfect enclosure. Fantastic and have you seen them at all? Well that's as I put them in there
46:02they disappeared off the face of the earth. There's places for them to hide they're not
46:10going to be stressed. And look, there.
46:17Using some names to identify them. I've done that. Matilda for the big female she's much bigger and stockier and
46:24then Terence he's a bit puny for the younger male.
46:26What do you think Rob? Telling some Matilda. Very nice Nigel. It's not so bad it's kind of cute really
46:31I guess.
46:32Yeah I'll tell you what they're not going to stay cute for long. Nigel's right the t-rex will double
46:39their
46:39body weight every year until full size. Turning Terence 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.
46:58Next time Nigel sets his sights on a mammoth from the ice age.
47:04But he's going to have to overcome the cold climate and a hostile reception.
47:13Managing the prehistoric creatures Nigel brings back will definitely not be as easy as they first thought.
47:21Close the gate!
47:25the
