Sailbacked Prey and Predator/Transcript

Here is the transcript of Sailbacked Prey and Predator.

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. This time, he’s going back 286 million years to rescue the sailback mammal-like reptiles. But he’s going to face hot and cold climates the rest of the way. Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

The episode began one day at Prehistoric Park, where every worker is looking after things at the park.

Narrator: Prehistoric Park is starting to expand once more. Throughout this huge reserve, dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures are enjoying their new homes.

During the sight seeing, many old and new arrivals at Prehistoric Park are all enjoying their enclosures.

Narrator: Especially for the mother Leptictidium and her young, the mother Gastornis and her chick, and the Ambulocetus, who were all starting a new life at the park.

Then, the scene shows Nigel was at his office, planning a new prehistoric rescue mission while Suzanne was looking after the new arrivals at the park.

Narrator: While Nigel plans his next prehistoric mission, Head Park Vet Suzanne was looking after the park’s new arrivals.

Head Vet Suzanne: I’ve been watching over the new arrivals Nigel brought back from Eocene Germany, these are the breeding colony of Propalaeotheriums and Godinotias, a female Ambulocetus, a male Gastornis and the male Leptictidium for our first ones in case they need mates, Nigel even got the breeding pair of Creodonts. Nigel’s been working hard rescuing more animals since we’re getting enough room for new arrivals, let’s hope we’re up for this.

Soon, Bob brought the new arrivals to their enclosures called “Early Mammal Jungle”, the Propalaeotheriums, Godinotias, and Creodonts are getting used to their surroundings.

Narrator: It didn’t even take much longer for Head Park Keeper Bob to bring the Propalaeotheriums, Godinotias and Creodonts to their new homes.

Head Keeper Bob: They seem to be happy in their new home, the Propalaeotheriums love their new surroundings, the Creodonts are getting enough meat. And as for the Godinotias, they love their new treetops I built.

Later, Nigel was at his office looking at a few pictures of fossils and skeletons.

Narrator: With the park’s new arrivals settled in well, Nigel is planning his new rescue mission.

Nigel Marven: These are some pictures of the mammal-like reptiles called Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus, they existed during the Permian Period, it’s the last of the Paleozoic era. Around that time, Edaphosaurus and Dimetrodon both had sails on their back to control body temperature. You can tell between the sail backs which are who, Edaphosaurus are giant plant eaters that came before the dinosaurs while being hunted by Dimetrodons. If we’re lucky, we might be able to get these two species back to Prehistoric Park.

The next scene then shows the earth’s CGI version going back 286 million years ago, during the Early Permian Period.

Narrator: Nigel is going back 286 million years to Permian Europe, it was like most of the world, in colder desert from today. With the time portal setting the coordinates, he set out to Prehistoric Europe at the Early Permian Period to rescue the two sailbacks from extinction.

Soon, Nigel puts on the winter gear and goes through the time portal to Early Permian Europe.

As he arrived in Permian Europe, it was a cold climate he was experiencing at that time.

Narrator: It was a colder time for Nigel to come.

Nigel Marven: What a huge blizzard we’re up against, let’s just find a safe spot to set up camp!
