Episode 1: The Second Attempt
Nigel introduces the crew and the facilities. Everything is set up for all the missions and the planned creatures to be rescued. Today he is going to the Hell Creek formation 65 million years ago. He is going to do this mission using his jeep and time portal. Nigel drives through the portal and finds himself in a rocky plain with a triceratops corpse and about 5 quetzalcoatlus scavenging. Nigel got off the jeep and sneaked past the giant pterosaurs. They ended up flying off after hearing huge dinosaur stomps. Nigel runs to the jeep to avoid the dinosaur, in the jeep he notices a forest-like area and he parks his jeep. After walking in the forest he finds a group of ornithomimus and he decides to rescue them, when he opens up the portal a loud boom sound was heard and the ornithomimus scurry into the portal. They are placed in the holding area as the head of the keepers decided to place them in one of the large field pens. Nigel returns out of the forest and hops into his jeep and rides away. To the west of the rocky plain was a shrubland and he can see some sort of animal from the shrubland. With closer inspection he discovered that it was a lone triceratops. The triceratops was angry somehow and was missing a horn, he lead the triceratops to the portal. He now must search for a female triceratops. He drove further through the shrubland finding some thescelosaurus and leptoceratops running near the jeep. He finally found a female triceratops with a baby, this triceratops was much calmer and easy to put into the portal. Meanwhile at the park the ornithomimus were put into their pen and they seem happy. Nigel still is searching for the tyrannosaurus but then he finds an adult tyrannosaurus fighting an ankylosaurus and the tyrannosaurus falls down and dies. Out of the shrub comes another ankylosaurus. Both of them were rescued and then out of the blue a stampede of leptoceratops, ornithomimus, thescelosaurus, and pachycephalosaurus came running towards the portal as a huge sound of a volcano eruption commenced. Some of the small dinosaurs ran through the portal and then Nigel closed the portal and two roars were heard and the portal was reopened and two juvenile tyrannosaurs ran through the portal. Nigel ran through the portal as he knew that extinction was coming. At the park the triceratops was placed in the pen and they began to fight. Their enclosure was seperated, as for the ankylosaurus the male and female get along. Finally the tyranosaurus started fighting between eachother so they were seperated.

Episode 2: A mammoth Undertaking
At the park the first baby was born. A baby leptoceratops was born in the Hell Creek pen and he was healthy. The tyrannosaurus were eyeing each other down through the fence, the male triceratops didn't move much so he was moved to the hospital. Today Nigel will be traveling to prehistoric Europe in the Pleistocene to rescue the wooly mammoth, the wooly rhino, and the giant elk. He enters the portal during fall, most species are beginning to migrate as he sees herds of saiga, aurochs, tarpan, and other creatures migrating north. After some consideration he rescues some saiga, aurochs, tarpan, and he accidentally rescues some wisent, caribou, and musk ox. The hoofed animals where placed in the holding pen as their exhibit is being constructed. The triceratops at the hospital ended up having a broken leg as the team created a cast for the triceratops. Nigel now discovers a troop of cave hyenas foraging on a giant deer, the hyenas charge at Nigel and he must rescue them to defend himself. Some of the hyenas broke loose from containment and one of them was killed by one of the aurochs. Nigel drove even further when he found a wooly rhinoceros he was about to rescue it when a group of neandrathals run up to it and began to fight it two of the neandrathals were killed but the rhino was killed as well. Nigel got away fast and didn't stop driving until he found some giant deer, the giant deer was planned to be rescued so Nigel rescued it. When the deer walked through a cave bear was seen stalking the animal one deer was killed by the bear and the bear walked through the portal. When the bear walked through the portal he was quickly separated from the deer. Nigel drove a little bit further until his one of the tires popped now he had to walk to complete the mission. After a bit of walking Nigel found a wooly rhinoceros which ended up charging into him through the portal. He had to jump onto a platform to not get trampled. The rhino was placed in the holding pen, meanwhile at the park the saigas, aurochs, tarpan, caribou, musk ox, and wisent were are placed in an enclosure and seemed to get along same can be said about the cave hyenas and cave bear but they seemed very stressed out due to lack of shelter. The crew decided to construct shelter as a placeholder for a cave. Nigel now must head back to the Pleistocene to rescue a mammoth luckily when he enters the portal he finds a small herd of them they were spooked however and later rescued. The mammoth and the musk ox had to have its fur cut due to the warm weather

Episode 3: A feathered dynasty
At the park musk ox seemed to be uncomfortable without their fur however, the mammoth and rhino were fine as they shed their fur, because of this the oxes where sent away to a zoo in Toronto. To test things out the t rexes where put in the same enclosure it started with them fighting but they later calmed down and stoped fighting the crew realized that they can get along. Todays mission is to Cretaceous Asia to find a microraptor, psittacosaurus, and others. Nigel enters the portal and finds out he is in a lush beautiful jungle, after a bit of walking he runs into a small lizard he decided to use the lizard to lure a possible dinosaur. The trap was set and after a while of waiting six Nemicolopterus flew down to the lizard, using a special net they were caught and placed in the portal. At the park one mammoth was in critical condition, the mammoth nearly died. Nigel had trouble catching flying dinosaurs until he finally caught two confuciusornis and a jeholornis and they were placed in the portal, suddenly dinosaurs were gliding everywhere as a herd of titanosaurs were on the move Nigel did not rescue them. At the park the rhinos seemed really stressed and escaped his enclosure, they gave him a larger space and he seemed a bit calmer but still on edge. Nigel walked further and discovered a lone baby psittacosaurus, he noticed that a young sinotyrannus was stalking the baby dinosaur. Nigel ran in zig zags with the dinosaur in his hand until loud stomping of the titanosaurs were heard and the sinotyrannus ran away. Nigel and the young Psittacosaurus went into the portal, he went back to find the Microraptor and another psittacosaurus. Nigel was distraught when he found seven psittacosaurus calling out of sadness as their babies were killed he let them though the portal and they began to bond with the baby. Meanwhile a pachycephlosaurus was discovered to have an unknown disease the crew wore protected equipment and separated him from the group, the test showed that the disease was very contagious and could've spread to all the other dinosaurs, they checked and only three other dinosaur got it unfortunately one died. Nigel found a few other confuciusornis and jehlornis and he finally found two pairs of microraptors, they were all saved and put in an aviary where they got a good amount of flying space, the psittacosaurus were put in the aviary as a experiment if the wouldn't harass the dinosaurs

Episode 4: The Sabertooth
At the park all the animals seemed healthy and happy aside from one ankylosaurus as he would sit by the fence and groan for most of the day the crew decided to give them some enrichment which seemed to make them happy, also a saiga had three babies one passed away. Today Nigel will be traveling to South America in the Pleistocene to rescue a Smilodon, megatherium, Doedicurus, and others. He entered the portal and drove a bit and found some Mixtoxodons he thought a bit and decided to rescue them, they later dispersed into multiple directions after a pack of smilodons began chasing them he was able to rescue nine of them including a baby. The smildons got away to fast to be rescued meanwhile, at the park harassment happened between the psittacosaurus and the microraptors they were moved to an enclosure nearby. After some driving Nigel found a group of doedicurus and decides to rescue them whilst they were walking in a herd of long horned bison came charging near Nigel the doedicurus walked in then he jumped behind a log whilst the bison ran by and he noticed one was killed by a smilodon, he decided to wait for them to finish and then to rescue them. Soon later a pack of titans came and scared away the smilodons, Nigel was spotted and chased through the portal with them barely surviving. Meanwhile at the park the cave bear broke the fence and got out, the crew was able to sedate it and put it back in holding so the team could repair the fence, the triceratops were put together as an experiment and they began eyeing each other and later calmed down. Nigel went back to find the ground sloth and the smilodon, he later found a glyptodon and decided to rescue it as well, whilst the glyptodon was walking another came out from the brush and walked up to the portal, fortunately they were a breeding pair. At the park the Mixotoxodons have settled into their enclosure and the doedicurus have been mixed with the glyptodons, the Kelenken had a spacious enclosure and seemed happy. He found a megatherium which was very angry, Nigel needed to sedate the animal to contain it, He found a second and he walked in calmer later a pack of smilodons came chasing they came into contact with the megatherium, the similodons were killed, running out of the brush came a herd of macrauchenia running from a pack of smilodons they all ran through the portal. At the park the doedicurus began fighting so the males were separated from the females, the macrauchenia and the smildons seemed happy but, the megatherium seemed stressed so they were given toys and seemed a bit happier.

Episode 5: Creatures Of the Carboniferous
At the park a smilodon broke his tooth and the tooth was replaced with a model tooth, the tooth worked just as well. All the other animals seemed happy and healthy, today Nigel is going to the Carbonifeorus to find various bugs and amphibians. He enters the swampy land through the portal, after a bit of walking he found a Pulmonoscorpius hididng, he almost got stung but was able to successfully contain it. Meanwhile six eggs were spotted in the t-rex pen, they were placed in insulation.

At the park the bug house was ready for the fist inhabitants, the house included a stream for amphibians, the inhabitants were placed in and seemed happy. In the carboniferous he set some traps for the night in the first trap a pair of cassygyrinus, nothing in the second and third, and 3 pulmonoscorpius, an arthropluera, and four Euphoberia which really surprised Nigel. They were all placed in the bug house, at the park the psittacosaurus and nemicolopterus began laying eggs and they eggs were incubated. Now he needed to find another arthropleura and a megarache. He set some traps for the night in one he caught some proterogyrinus and a Pteroplax and in the second one he found another athropleura, all were rescued. He finally successfully caught a megarache by throwing a net, at the park all the bugs and amphibians were happy and healthy and seemed not to harass one another, also more babies were being born including a doedicurus, mixotoxodon, and a microraptor.
