Early Hopping Mammals/Transcript

Here is the transcript of Early Hopping Mammals.

Narrator: There is something missing from our world. The amazing animals that time has left behind. But what if we could bring them back? What if extinction didn't have to be forever? We're going back in time on a safari with a difference, as wildlife adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into prehistory to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction. His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present, and give them a second chance. On his very next mission, he’ll travel back 49 million years to Prehistoric Germany to save a giant killer bird and one of the earliest mammals in existence. Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

The episode began one day at Prehistoric Park, there was much work to do at the park.

Narrator: Prehistoric Park's mission to bring back many extinct animals has been a big success.

The next scene shows many dinosaurs and other extinct creatures are in their enclosures, including new arrivals from Nigel’s previous adventures.

Narrator: Theo the Triceratops has fully grown and leads a herd of one male and two females Nigal brought back from the Late Cretaceous Period, a flock of Ornithomimus are enjoying their home at the pond, the two Tyrannosaurus Rex, Matilda and her brother Terrance are no longer trying to kill each other and each had mates of their own and live as a pack together. Martha the Mammoth is no longer the only Woolly Mammoth living with a herd of elephants, she has two females to keep her company along with them and a bull mammoth who mates with Martha, the Elasmotherium now has a mate at his paddock, a colony of Microraptors loved their fortress, and a herd of Titanosaurs are enjoying the rocks and plants at the treetops. The park’s terror bird, the male Phorusrhacos also had a mate as well. The park’s pair of sabertooth cats, the mother and father Smilodons and their cubs who’re weaned from milk and meat now living with their mother with a fixed maternal bond. The park’s giant creepy crawlies, the male Meganeura, a female Pulmonoscorpius and a male Arthropleura are enjoying their new home. Even the female Deinosuchus Nigel brought back from Late Cretaceous Texas 75 millions years ago, she too had a mate of her own for breeding. All the creatures Nigel brings back are the park’s current residents, including Rascal the male Troodon who stowed away and now has a pack of his own as Head Keeper Bob settled them well in their new home.

Head Keeper Bob: Alright then, off you go.

Just as Rascal and his pack of Troodon are settled in their paddock, they are fed plenty of meat.

Head Keeper Bob: Look at Rascal and his pack, they’re enjoying their enclosure. It’s been some time since Nigel collected more extinct animals, especially for breeding.

Elsewhere, Nigel’s checking in on the new arrivals he brought back from his previous adventures.

Nigel Marven: I’ve been finding some breeding animals from my previous goals, I’ve collected a breeding pair of Nyctosaurus, a breeding herd of Parasaurolophus and a breeding pair of Albertosaurus from 75 million years ago in Texas while getting a male Deinosuchus for our first female and a pack of Troodon for Rascal.

With that, the Nyctosaurus, the Parasaurolophus and the Albertosaurus are in their enclosures shown from the video cameras.

Nigel Marven: I’d also got a breeding pair of Didelphodons, a first known marsupial from the Late Cretaceous Montanan form 65 million years ago along with a breeding herd of Torosaurus, a three horned dinosaur similar to Theo and his herd of Triceratops, only with a round curve on the thrill. And that didn’t stop me from rescuing a herd of Anatotitans, a duck-billed dinosaur. Anatotitan means “Giant Duck”, I’d even got a pair of Dromaeosaurus, and Ankylosaurus, and a pair of Quetzalcoatlus, they’re all enjoying their new homes.

Soon, the video camera showed the Didelphodons, the Torosaurus, the Anatotitans, the Dromaeosaurus, the Ankylosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus in their enclosures.

Nigel Marven: I’d even traveled 30 thousand years ago in Belgium and got a family mother and father Cave Bears and their cubs, a breeding pair of Cave Hyenas, a pair of Cave Lions, and breeding herd of Megaloceros, one male and and three females as well as two new female Woolly Mammoths and a bull for Martha the keep company and a female Elasmotherium for our first male to breed with.

The next scene shows the Cave Bears, Cave Hyenas, Cave Lions and Megaloceros’ are settled in well, Nigel shows a lot more animals he brought back from extinction.

Nigel Marven: I’d also traveled 120 millions years to Cretaceous China and got a breeding pair of Incisivosaurus and Eosipterus and a pack of Mei long  and traveled 1 million years to Pleistocene Brazil and brought back a breeding herd of Toxodons a herd of Macrauchenias, and a pair of Doedicurus, a giant prehistoric armadillo and a breeding pair of Megatheriums, a type of giant ground sloths as well as a female Phorusrhacos for our first male to breed with. And finally, I’ve traveled 3 million years at Carboniferous Scotland and got a breeding pair of Crassigyrinus and gone to Kansas and got a female Mesothelae, and a breeding pair of Petrolacosaurus, one of the first reptiles, and a pair of Proterogyrinus, one of the carnivorous amphibians.

Finally, the scene shows the new arrivals are enjoying their new homes at Prehistoric Park.

Nigel Marven: If it hadn’t been the Titanosaurs stampeding by Bob spooked by Rascal, we wouldn’t have made new rooms for new enclosures and new extinct animals to bring back to the park.

Then, a flashback was shown from the previous mass break-out.

Narrator: Years ago, Rascal the Troodon frightens Bob on the jeep and spooks one of the Titanosaurs, sending stampeding towards Prehistoric Park, causing a lot of damage to the enclosures and escaped animals at the park.

Soon, the flashback ended as the park was finally back under control again.

Narrator: Now that the Prehistoric Park is looking at shipshape again, Nigel begins to plan his next prehistoric rescue mission while making his choice when and where he’s going next.

Nigel Marven:
