Prehistoric Park: Back from the Ashes

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 on a safari with a difference, as wildlife as adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into pre-history 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 first adventure since the Indominus Incident, Nigel and Chiyo will rescue a Cretaceous carnivore that ate sauropods in North America.

Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

Chapter 1- Time of Titans in Texas

Prehistoric Park is busy as it prepares for it's first animals since the Indominus Incident, the name that the world had given the incident at Prehistoric Park. Now Prehistoric Park was going to redeem itself by opening a new attraction.

Nigel sat in his office where the fossilized skulls and recent biofacts of extinct animals littered the room. Books were piled high and the computer showed a picture a humpbacked theropod dinosaur. It was in a pack of six attacking a herd of tall sauropods.

"Hello" said Nigel cheerily. "This is the first mission that I've had in months, so it is nice to be rescuing extinct animals again. Simon even said that he would take over my position as manager so I can get back to rescuing animals. Today, Chiyo and I are going back 112,000,000 years ago to Cretaceous Texas. The public is demanding another carnivore that's big and weird like the Spinosaurus and Indominus Rex. We thought bringing back these guys would spike attendance up."

Nigel reached behind himself and brought a picture of a sauropod and a theropod compared to a human. They both towered over the human, the sauropod even more so.

"The carnivore is a humpbacked killer known as  Acrocanthosaurus Atokensis . It was thought that they would ban together to hunt down this guy.  Sauroposeidon Proteles, a the tallest known sauropod. Fossil tracks of these two species were found together near San Antonio, Texas. I am hoping that we can bag both of these species and maybe find a few extra animals that lived at the time."

Just then, Nigel's deputy, Chiyo Ishado, came in.

"Nigel are you ready to go?" she asked. "Everyone is bouncing off the walls, waiting for you to go back and catch the Acros and Sauroposeidon."

"Yes Chiyo, I'm ready."

Chiyo and Nigel have known each other for years and have been on countless missions together. If they are to trust anybody, it will be each other. Although they do have other friends around Prehistoric Park.

Nigel was walking down the dirt path to the dirt path when he was knocked down by a white, furry dog with a curly tail.

"Sorry Nigel!" yelled a voice. Running up the path and panting came Head Keeper, Bob Arthur. He was wearing the park uniform and a name tag that said his name and his favorite animal. It said 'anything that won't rip me to shreds' on the tag.

"Gottcha!" yelled the man when he grabbed the dog by the collar. The dog was a Kuri, an extinct dog breed that Nigel had gotten for Chiyo as a present when they went to capture the Huia, an extinct bird from New Zealand. This Kuri was Bowwow, a new Kuri that had been recovered for the Prehistoric Petting Zoo on Main Street. Bob had gone back in time on his first mission and bought extinct breeds of animals for the petting zoo.

"Hi Nigel. Sorry bout that. He got out while I was moving the last Oregon Rexes into the cat part of the petting zoo. I've been chasing this guy all around Nublar. He seems to think this is a game. Are you off to rescue your dinosaurs then?"

"Yes, I was about to go to the time portal. I'll probably be back by sundown. Do you have the enclosures constructed and the holding pens ready?"

"Yes. Good luck catching your dinosaurs. I'll just get this guy back to Prehistoric Petting Zoo and …. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Bowwow had just gotten out of Bob's grip and was now running down the dirt path.

"Haha. I'll see you later Bob." said Nigel, walking away. He heard Bob say something about the Homo Erectus and walked the opposite direction from Bowwow.

Prehistoric Park is famous mostly for it's collection of dinosaurs. And although every dinosaur is a handful to take care of, the biggest handful is Cronus, the sub-adult male Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Cronus's roar could be heard all the way from across the island. He was either agitated or fighting with one of his pack mates. Everyone ignored it and watched the blue time portal appear for the first time in months. Ignoring everything else in the world, Nigel and Chiyo walked through the portal.

They arrived on a fern plain. Ferns stretched as far as the eye could see. Behind them, a forest could be seen. Could their carnivore be hiding there?

Meanwhile, back at Prehistoric Park, everyone has gone to see why Cronus hadn't stopped roaring and once they do see, they're terrified.

The staff all looked at the scene. Cronus was fighting with Matilda, the park's alpha Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although Matilda was twice the size as him, he had grown significantly over the two years that Prehistoric Park had cared for him. And now, for some reason or another, he was fighting Matilda. And he appeared to be winning.

"What is going on here?" yelled Bob. Once he saw the two fighting, he froze in his tracks.

Matilda snapped Cronus, but he ducked his head and watched Matilda snap above it. He raised his head and waited for Matilda to snap again. Matilda snapped again, lower now, perhaps thinking that Cronus was going to duck his head again. Instead, she got a different result.

Cronus raised his head, then grabbed Matilda behind her head. Matilda roared, a sound which made the very earth shake. Then Cronus started swinging her around. First once, then twice, then a third time. On the fourth, he let go and Matilda's back crashed into a tree. She let out another roar and lowered her head.

Cronus roared triumphantly and walked over to a cow carcass, no bites eaten out of it. The first bite was always the alpha's. And Cronus walked right up to it and started gorging himself on it. The other five Tyrannosaurus watched him eat it waited for him to finish. The T .Rex pack of Prehistoric Park had a new alpha now. And that was Cronus. Matilda, the long time queen of the pack, had been dethroned.

"Well, that is the most heated fight I have ever seen in between them." Bob said. "Suzanne will need to check on Matilda and check for any serious injuries. I think Cronus is fine. Boy, teenagers sure are getting rebellious these days."

While at Prehistoric Park, the things are cooling down, in Cretaceous Texas things are heating up.

Nigel and Chiyo had been walking for over an hour and hadn't seen dinosaurs until now. A herd of purple dinosaurs with golden domed heads were drinking from a lake in the forest. They were around leopard sized and were making a peaceful chirping sound.

"I was hoping that we would be coming across these guys" Nigel said excitedly. "This is a species of pachycephalosaurid known as  Texacephale Langstoni . They were part of a group of dinosaurs that had domed heads to headbutt each other in mating season or in fights for territory. My gosh, they are striking."

"Are we going to bring this herd back to the park?" asked Chiyo, gazing at the little dinosaurs.

"Yes. Prehistoric Park still has yet to house any species of pachycephalosaurid and I think this herd would be a great addition to the park. All we need is a plan though." Nigel's gaze went to an area between two logs that the herd appeared to be going to.

"Chiyo, go over to those two logs and set the portal up between them. I'll use the claxton to scare them into the portal and we'll have the first herd of bone-headed dinosaurs of Prehistoric Park."

Chiyo went as quietly and fast as she could to avoid being seen by the herd. One Texacephale looked up and saw her. It grunted then went back to browsing. Once she arrived at her location, she set the two portal pieces firmly in the ground.

Once she finished this, Nigel walked out of his hiding place. The herd stared at him curiously and started nudging him. They even allowed Nigel to walk into the middle of the herd. Nigel reached into his backpack and pulled out the claxton that had saved the lives of Chiyo and him multiple times. However, this plan was disrupted as a screech resonated around the forest and something burst from the bushes which caused the herd to run toward the portal.

Chiyo pressed the remote and the familiar blue portal appeared which she ran through. The Texacephale and Nigel followed suite along with whatever was chasing them. They all suddenly appeared in the holding pens where Bob was watching overhead.

"My goodness Nigel!"

Prehistoric Park Head Vet, Suzanne McNabb, must skip seeing the new arrivals to check on an injured Matilda. Her scrape with Cronus has left her a number of bites, four big kick wounds, and a broken arm.

Suzanne was standing over Matilda. She had checked over her one more time to make sure nothing was missed. This had been the most serious case she had ever seen. Cronus had gone all out on her and had almost killed her. Of course, Matilda had almost killed Cronus before, but that was because Matilda was in maternal mode, with here chicks and Cronus had tried to kill them.

After the final checkout, she called for a truck to take Matilda back to Hell Creek Formation, got in her jeep, and drove down to see the new dinosaurs. She had to stop as Bob was running after a Kuri. She almost offered help, but then decided against it. She wanted to see the new dinosaurs that bad.

Meanwhile, Nigel and Chiyo are already checking out the new residents of Muerta.

Nigel and Chiyo stood on a raised platform that overlooked a lake like the one in the Cretaceous period. The Texacephale were now playing the shallow water and browsing on the ferns in the forest that dominated the exhibit. A dirt road could be seen that was quite possibly for either the staff or safari jeeps.

"Cute little dinosaurs" said a voice behind them.

The two turned around and saw Bob walking up the platform with Bowwow on a leash. Bowwow was wagging his tail and panting from the Costa Rican heat. The Kuri immediately ran up to Chiyo to be petted. She obliged which earned her a lick on the face which made her fall backward and laugh.

"Bowwow! Gross. Gosh Bowwow, you really need to brush your teeth." she laughed. "Nigel, should we identify our mystery carnivores?"

"Yes. I have a very dear friend whose last name is Kombat and it appears that our chaser just so happens to be his favorite creature" said Nigel. "I wish he was here for this."

They walked down the platform, down a trail, and to a newly built exhibit that had a wooden fence. They walked over to another platform and walked to the top of that. It overlooked an open forest that had ferns all over it. A screech was heard and seven feathered raptors burst from the bushes chasing each other. Their feathers were dark green with blue rings around the eyes and the tips of their tails were red.

"This is a natural hunting machine" said Chiyo. "The dromaeosaurids down there are  Deinonychus Antirrhopus, the theropod that helped prove that dinosaurs were warm blooded. Kombat would really love them. Owen will be coming over later to assert his dominance. He had best be going to find an Acrocanthosaurus."

"Right Chiyo" replied Nigel. " Come on. We don't have forever to catch our dinosaurs."

The two took a monorail over the ocean to Isla Nublar. From there, they drove to the holding pens and through the time portal.

It appears that they have reached the best and worst location that they could be: under the feet of a herd of giants.

The pair drove through the portal and almost got stepped on from the start. The car swerved as Nigel turned the wheel and drove away from the herd. Once Nigel and Chiyo stopped the jeep, they looked back, he saw that he was almost squished by a herd of seven story sauropods. In the middle of the herd was another herd of zebra-striped ornithopods and a small group of red nodosaurids. They were walking along the shore of a mighty ocean.

"The sauropods are the ones that we're here for" Nigel explained. "Sauroposeidon. The ornithopods are an iguanodontid called  Tenontosaurus Dossi . A Tenontosaurus was found fossilized with a pack of Deinonychus which makes us think that they were actively hunted by Deinonychus. The nodosaurid species is  Pawpawsaurus Campbelli . They must be migrating with the sauropods. I can't think of a way for us to herd the smaller herbivores out, so we should just probably save all three species."

"Nigel, I thought you would be sad that we had to save three species at once" joked Chiyo.

"Well I…. BLIMEY BACTROSAURUS, CHIYO DUCK!"

Chiyo quickly ducked. She just managed to avoid having her head bitten off by a theropod dinosaur. It was thirty feet long, yellow, and humpbacked. It was an Acrocanthosaurus. Three others had come from the forest that was quite far away now and were running toward the herd at an astonishing rate. They seemed to be chasing the Tenontosaurus because the sauropods were relaxed and not running away. Or at least it seemed that way until one suddenly turned and attacked a juvenile Sauroposeidon near the front of the herd. It bellowed loudly and the other acros stopped in their tracks and looked at the juvenile sauropod. Then they started closing in on the one sauropod. The herd of Tenontosaurus had stopped a couple hundred meters away and the nodosaurs were running toward the acro that had attacked Chiyo.

"Nigel, we have to save the juvenile!" Chiyo said frantically. "They'll kill it."

Nigel nodded and drove the jeep in front of the herd where the juvenile was. It now had three bite marks on it from which all were bleeding. The nodosaurs finally reached the acro that had attacked Chiyo and showed a surprising trait. They rammed into the legs of the meat-eater and knocked it to the ground.

Nigel drove ahead of the herd and set the portal in the ground. The herd of sauropods followed through along with the acros and Pawpawsaurus. Nigel prepared to go through the portal, then stopped. He grabbed the portal devices and got back in the jeep.

"Nigel! What are you doing?" yelled Chiyo from a couple yards away.

"Getting a final souvenir!" Nigel said as he drove toward the Tenontosaurus. They stopped and looked at him as he sped ahead of the herd. He stopped a hundred yards away from the herd and placed the time portal sticks firmly inside the ground. Then he drove back and went behind the herd. He honked the horn of the jeep and sped it toward the zebra-striped dinosaurs which ran away bellowing and hooting in fear. Once they arrived at the time portal, he opened it. First one went through, then a second, then a third. The entire herd was running through like there was no tomorrow.

"Nigel!" yelled Chiyo. He turned to see Chiyo jogging up the beach. She was panting and redder than her hair.

"Sorry, but they were just so magnificent."

"Well I can't argue with you there. Now let's go. I want to see all the animals in their enclosures."

She climbed into the jeep and Nigel sped into the portal. Right before they left the Cretaceous, they saw a small marine reptile.

"I didn't think that they had evolved this early. That marine reptile looks like a lizard, but is actually a relative of the mosasaurs. Dallasaurus Turneri is a small animal that would have likely have eaten fish and crabs. I wish we could save that one. Oh well. There will be a next time."

He looked at the little animal once more and drove through the portal.

Although Nigel and Chiyo couldn't rescue another marine animal, they have already brought back an impressive collection of other species in the past and if there is one thing that Nigel has taught us in the past, it's that he never keeps any animal out of mind for long. And although Nigel and everyone else are celebrating the rescue of the animal species, one person is hard at work.

Henry Wu was hard at work finishing an early prototype of an invention that would change Prehistoric Park forever. It would turn Prehistoric Park global. There was another island chain off of the Costa Rican coast that had been considered for Prehistoric Park, but it was too far away. InGen owned other island chains all over the world. If Wu ever finished this, distance wouldn't matter. Prehistoric Park would never run out of space to put it's animals.

A swirling purple portal appeared in front of him. Two small metal machines similar to the time portal machines were at the edges. A similar portal was activated at the other side of the room. Henry through an apple through the portal and it appeared on the other side of the room. He smiled. Soon, his prototype would be complete and Prehistoric Park would span across the globe.

Next time on Prehistoric Park, Nigel and Chiyo rescue one of the earliest theropod dinosaurs

(dozens of small long-necked dinosaurs drink from a rapidly flowing river in a rocky mountainous area)

and find the nightmare of Late Triassic animals.

(a pair of giant reptilian creatures kill a tusked creature)

And an old friend thought dead returns.

(a scarred man in gear and a pistol walks through the Prehistoric Park entrance)

All next time on Prehistoric Park!

" Extinction doesn't have to be forever."

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 on a safari with a difference, as wildlife as adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into pre-history 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, Nigel and Chiyo will find lost Cuban creatures, extinct Arabian animals, and a Northern nomad.

Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

Chapter 2- On the Wings of Extinction

Prehistoric Park has regained its full glory now, with attendance at maximum every day of the week now. Today, Nigel and Chiyo are looking into innocent victims that have vanished thanks to us, to remind visitors of the unfortunate, sad stories of their extinctions and humanity's greed.

On Nigel's desk were three files of different animals: one showed an ostrich, another a curlew, and the last a red macaw. On an Isla Nublar map, it showed a desert plain, a tropical aviary, and a snowy aviary. On another part of the map, it showed blue lines around Jurassic Heights. It was possible that Jurassic Heights was expected to undergo renovation or possible expansion.

"Hello there" said the wildlife explorer cheerily. "As you know, I am a great bird lover and have always liked birds and their ancestors like the Microraptors that are often in the office here. Today, we're going to rescue three bird species that recently went extinct. Chiyo and I have planned to rescue the Arabian ostrich, Cuban red macaw, and eskimo curlew. These birds have been driven off the edge by humanity and I plan to bring them back."

Nigel reached for his radio and a backpack full of gear and walked out the door to his bungalow. As soon as he was gone, Python, which Nigel had somewhat adopted, ran out of his hiding place and used his mouth to open a mini fridge and started to eat some vanilla yogurt, some eggs, two bananas, a Morning Star soy patty, some slices of cheese, a carton of milk, and three oranges. Nigel was going to have a big headache when he got back.

Meanwhile, Bob is walking down to T. Rex Hill to feed Jane, who had been needing extra food after laying her eggs. And as soon as he gets there, he becomes both surprised and angry.

Jane had laid her eggs as soon as she had been returned to her enclosure from Suzanne's veterinary clinic. A batch of three had been laid and visitors from all over the world had flocked to see them. Even the president of the United States had come to see the two gargantuan beasts watch over their eggs like overprotective birds (one could argue that they  were  birds).

But now, a different type of visitor had come to the park. And they were not going to be welcomed by anyone. Two people, a man and a woman, were in the exhibit with a strange radio-like machine. All seven of the Tyrannosaurus stood a ways away from them, roaring loudly and angrily. And both of the people were holding an rex egg each.

"Stop right there!" yelled Bob angrily. "What do you think you're doing? Put those eggs back right now!" he said entering the enclosure.

The man suddenly turned, holding a pistol straight at Bob. Bob froze in his tracks.

"Don't move or I will shoot you" said the man, putting both of the rex eggs in a backpack. "Turn around with your hands in the air." Bob obliged and the two finished their work. The man picked up the radio and walked toward the exit of the exhibit with the woman following.

"Sorry about this. Actually, I'm not. This is what you get for helping ruin my family's company." The man turned the radio-like device off and the Tyrannosaurus suddenly came running at the fence and Bob.

Bob ran as fast as he could toward the exit until he saw the Tyrannosaurus were after the man and woman, not him. All seven crashed into the fence, almost making it fall over and scaring the two people terribly. They roared their mighty roars, hungry for their blood, and were so distracted at the two humans who stole their eggs that they let Bob escape from the paddock with no trouble whatsoever. And as soon as Bob did, he was greeted by the man and woman. They both wore BioSyn helmets.

"Ashame that you weren't eaten by the brutes. But I think I'll let you live since you weren't eaten" said the BioSyn man. And with that, he pulled a taser out and shot Bob, knocking him out unconscious.

Meanwhile, Nigel has driven to the new aviary holding pens, designed to hold smaller flying animals instead of big pterosaurs or giant flying birds. There, Chiyo waits for Nigel, obviously pleased with herself about something.

"Okay, what did you do this time?" asked Nigel.

"I went back in time a few weeks earlier than when we planned to go back and bought a pack of Dogo Cubano for park security" she said smiling. "They were a dog breed bred to catch runaway slaves, so I thought they would be nice residents to the park and could help park security. I also think we should save some of the runaway slaves in Cuba."

"We may or may not rescue slaves" said Nigel. "It depends on whether or not we come across any runaway slaves while we search for the macaws. And even then, we have to make sure they want to come with us. When will we get the Dogo Cubanos?"

"As soon as we go through the portal. I arranged for a breeder to meet me on a secluded beach where I'll pick them up. He'll have a pack of eight, four males and four females. I had to pay him

a lot, but I think it'll be worth it since I'm fond of dogs."

"Okay then. We'll be going to Cuba now."

Cuba may be an island paradise, but visitors and locals rarely stop and learn about the inhabitants that previously lived there that we destroyed. Macaws and dogs are just two of the exotic inhabitants of 17th century Cuba.

Nigel and Chiyo stepped into a forest clearing and immediately startled a flock of Cuban macaws. They were red with blue wings and the back of their heads were yellow. They were probably foraging for seeds and insects when the two humans suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Seeing as yet they had to gain altitude, Nigel and Chiyo both fired their net guns. Two macaws were immediately caught, but the others flew away over a turquoise river, East of where the humans and toward denser jungle.

"Oh no!" yelled Nigel. "So close, but yet so far. I want to catch more because if we just have these two, eventually they'll get lonely like Nala and might end up becoming depressed and stop eating. Speaking of which, Chiyo, remind me to so a mission to find a herd of more Atlas elephants for her. She is refusing to eat, sleep, or move away from that tree she has been staring at. Tantor stays away from her since males normally live alone. We need to get her a herd of other females or she'll die."

"Nigel, look at those woodpeckers" said Chiyo. She pointed at a family of woodpeckers in a nearby tree. They were black and white with a red plume on their head. Several other trees could be seen with birds just like them. They all looked bigger than the average woodpecker. "I don't think Cuba has woodpeckers anymore." she said.

"Nice observation, Chiyo. These are the Cuban Ivory-Billed Woodpecker subspecies. These birds won't be around much longer. Just like the macaws and the Dogo Cubanos, they'll eventually die off. I think that two or three families of these birds could fit inside the tropical aviary along with our macaws just fine. I'll be right back, Chiyo. You go on ahead and get your Dogo Cubanos. I'll go back to Prehistoric Park and get a few things for a woodpecker trap."

With that, Nigel grabbed the two macaws and activated the portal, which he walked through into the holding aviary, where he handed the two birds to a bird keeper.

While Nigel gathers his supplies to catch some woodpeckers, Chiyo looks into yet another surprise she had planned for Bob. And unlike most surprises for Bob, he'll actually like it.

Chiyo went to the seven separate traps that she had set up to catch one of the nocturnal inhabitants of the island. She had this as a surprise for Bob, who was always complaining that Nigel rarely brought back anything easy to care for, cute, and that won't tear him limb from limb. His birthday was the very next day after this rescue mission and Chiyo had planned to bring something back that he would enjoy.

The first trap and fourth traps were empty, but all the others had a small mammal with a shrew-like nose, bald rat-like tail, and yellow and black fur. They looked like shrews crossbred with rats, only they were the much bigger than either.

"These are Giant Solenodons" said Chiyo to the cameraman. "They were a type of venomous mammal that was mostly insectivorous, but weren't above hunting small prey either. These unique animals would eventually go extinct with the introduction of non-native predators. But now we have five, so we rescue yet another species from extinction and Bob will get a birthday present that won't rip him limb from limb. I just hope he won't try to let them though. We don't have an antivenom for them yet."

She sent the five solenodons through the portal and started walking down a path that led to a beach. On the beach stood a man with eight large bull mastiff-like dogs. They sat down around him, occasionally barking at a seagull or pelican in the air above. When the dogs saw her, they ran up to her and started sniffing her. Then one jumped up and knocked Chiyo down and started licking her. Chiyo laughed and the man started walking up to her.

"You like the dogs?" he asked. "They're really good for tracking and catching runaway slaves, but they're pretty good at tracking game animals too, if you want to use them for that."

"Yes, I like them very much. Thank you. I'm just going to be on my way now. With the dogs of course. I have to meet up with a friend of mine in the forest."

"Wait. Before you go, what is that on your back?" he said pointing at the metal time portal device hanging from Chiyo's backpack.

"Oh this, it's just an...um..." Chiyo ran off into the jungle as fast as she could with the dogs. She heard the man yell and she shouted at the cameraman, who had been hiding inside the jungle underbrush, to run as well. Both of them ran as far as they could until they got cornered between several large boulders. They could hear the breeder coming through the jungle in their direction. Chiyo quickly set up the time portal and ran through with the cameraman and eight dogs before closing it before the man could see it.

"Whoo. That was close. she said wiping the sweat off her brow."

Meanwhile, Nigel has be returned to his bungalow to grab supplies, but has instead found his kitchen in ruins. After removing Python from the house, Nigel has grabbed his supplies and is driving back to the holding aviary.

On the way back, Nigel had decided to see Cronus and Jane watch over their eggs for a few minutes. After several minutes, Nigel drives through the Hell Creek Formation entrance. We looks out his jeep and drives by all the other inhabitants: the mixed Hadrosaurus, Maiasaura, and Edmontosaurus herd, the three separate Triceratops and Torosaurus herds, the small group of Ankylosaurus led by Andy, the pack of Didelphodon, and the gaggle of Anzu. Finally he arrives at T. rex Hill.

Nigel started climbing up into the raised viewing platform until he saw a shoe sticking out in the ferns below the walkway.

"Tourists. Always losing one thing or throwing another away in the wrong place. Better take care of that and put it in the lost and found."

He climbed down and through the ferns to remove the shoe, thinking someone had just thrown it down there. But instead, Nigel finds Bob bruised and unconscious.

"Oh no!" said Nigel. "Bob! Wake up! Bob!" yelled Nigel. A groan came from Bob, which at least meant that he was alive. Nigel hauled him into the back of his jeep and sped off to the infirmary, almost hitting a tour group, Muldoon, Mary, Python (how did he get out?), and Phil (AGAIN!?). Finally, Nigel got to the infirmary and dragged Bob inside.

The infirmary had become significantly larger since the Indominus Incident with five star medical facilities, enough emergency food and water to last for months in the basement, and weapons and ammunition in case another surprise power down incident popped up. Thirty full time doctors, medical students, and nurses worked here now. Among them was Solomon Paulson, an escaped slave from past South Carolina and Mary's husband from when Nigel and Chiyo had gone to save the passenger pigeons and Carolina parakeet. As soon as Nigel dragged Bob through the doorway, Solomon ran to him and helped lift Bob to a nearby bed.

"Can you tell what happened?" asked Nigel anxiously. Solomon looked around him. Then he raised Bob's shirt up and revealed to him two marks like a giant robotic spider had bitten him and electrocuted him while doing so.

"Someone tasered him unconscious. I'll have Nima Cruz do a full-time investigation on who did this to Bob, but you shouldn't delay your mission for that or Bob. He'll be fine. Though it will hurt him for a while. Go on now, shoo. I can't do my work with you breathing down my neck."

While Nigel once again makes his way down to the holding aviary, Suzanne is doing a checkup on two very big, very angry carnivores.

In one of holding pens was Prehistoric Park's crowned king, Cronus, while in the pen next to him was Indy, the park's female Indominus Rex. It was just Suzanne's luck that she had to do check up on the both of them.

Cronus at all times roared with bloodlust, while Indy switched between almost invisible and pale white. It was hard to say which was more impressive because both were big, bad, and all around deadly.

Suzanne leaned a bit over the railing to do a physical check of Indy when Cronus suddenly charged at the fence with his head down and smashed right through the fence, into Indy's holding pen! Indy turned and and roared at Cronus.

The two dinosaurs roared at each other and charged at each other at the same time. Right as they almost ran into the other, Cronus turned around suddenly and swept his tail down low, using it to trip the Indominus! Indy tripped and once her massive body slammed in the ground, it creating a tremor that went throughout the holding pens and a small area outside.

Muldoon came running from another raised walkway and took in the scene. He unfortunately didn't have a tranquilizer gun with him.

"What happened?" he asked the veterinarian.

"Cronus barged in from another holding pen and attacked Indy. She can't camouflage if Cronus doesn't let her get up. He's going to kill her!"

The Cronus bit Indy behind her head and used his strength to lift her to her feet. Then he started swinging Indy around. It was the same move that Cronus had used on Matilda when he was fighting to become alpha! Cronus swung her around for a couple seconds until he let her go. The Indominus went tumbling forward, crashing straight through a holding pen fence into yet another pen.

Indy was knocked unconscious from the blow and was now bleeding from her neck and head. Cronus roared and walked up to the unconscious predator. He bent down, over her throat, with his knife-filled jaws poised to kill. He opened his jaws wide and prepared to sink his teeth when... an Argentavis flew out from the sky and sunk it's talons into Cronus's nose. It may not have been fatal, but it was painful.

The rex bellowed in anger and tried to snap at the bird. That's when several tranquilizer darts were shot out from nearby keepers. Cronus roared once more and fell on to his side, unconscious.

"Well, that was close" said a voice behind Suzanne.

Walking up the walkway was Owen Grady, Prehistoric Park's raptor and Argentavis trainer. He was wearing gear almost identical to Nigel's and had a whistle in his hand.

"Hello Owen" said Suzanne. "How is the Argen training program going so far?"

"Better than with raptor training. Training an Argentavis is just like falconry. Only the birds can pick you up and fly with you. And possibly kill you. One of them picked me up and flew me over Lamia's tank one time. Scared me pretty good, but it didn't let go of me. I heard Cronus roaring and I came here to see what was happening with one of the Argens. When I saw Cronus about to kill Indy, I gave the attack whistle. Speaking of which, I need to get Aros (that is the name of the Argentavis that attacked Cronus)."

Owen brought the whistle to his lips and blew two shrill cries that signified for the Argentavis to fly back to the training area. The giant bird circled up into the sky and flew away, back to the training area.

"Well, I'll see you later" said Owen. "And Muldoon" he said turning to him. "Try to control yourself next time when you feel like beating up my raptors. I'm pretty sure they would appreciate that."

Meanwhile, Nigel has rejoined Chiyo at the holding aviary and are ready to go back to 17th century Cuba. Nigel has gotten the materials for his woodpecker trap, Chiyo has turned the Dogo Cubanos over to security, and the solenodons and macaws have been put into the tropical Cuban aviary in Peace Park.

The two stepped back into the clearing that they had original came into earlier. Nigel and Chiyo quickly went to work, creating a trap similar to the one that they created to catch the Microraptors, with crickets, grubs, and earthworms in the middle. Several families of woodpeckers started flying down all at once, all of them trying to get to the bounty of invertebrates before the others.

"We're using this trap again because it's easy to set up and take down. I grabbed a portal grenade so that when enough of them fly down, we can roll the grenade in or throw it in and catch them all at once. Oh look! All of them are down!"

A dozen woodpeckers had touched down at once, eager for the free meal. Once all of them were in, Nigel and Chiyo both suddenly threw portal grenades and in a blue flash, the birds were sent to the 21st century.

Once the two took down the trap, they once again started trekking into the jungle. After a good hour or so, they heard the large caw of a macaw. The two quietly crept forward and saw the flock of macaws from earlier in another clearing, eating mud and clay.

It may be surprising to see animals eat mud and clay, but many species do it, from mammoths to macaws. The reason for this is to gain extra vitamins and minerals that their ordinary diets don't usually have.

The flock sat their, eating mud like no tomorrow. Nigel quietly reached into his backpack and brought out two mini planes, two mini plane controllers, and two net guns.

"We start capturing on five" he said. "Five."

The two ran out and started firing their net guns randomly at the flock. Once they had run out of ammo, Nigel and Chiyo used the miniature planes and caught the rest of the flock as they started to fly away. Once those birds were gone, they put portal grenades next to the birds that they had caught with net guns and set them off, making the forest clearing turn into a flash of blue.

"Well Chiyo, let's go home so we can save the Arabian ostrich and Eskimo curlews."

He set up the time portal and activated it, but before they could go in, a group of ten or so people ran out of the woods and started begging to them.

"Please sir, you must help us" said a African American man, on his knees and his hands in a pleading gesture. "We heard that you are from the future and save animals and people from the past. We have run away from our owners and need a place to go and live in safety. A group of men are searching for us and are right on our trail with their tracking dogs. You must help us!"

Nigel and Chiyo just stood there for a moment, surprised by how the runaway slaves had just appeared out nowhere. A dog bark went through the area, from a point close by. It sounded exactly like the Dogo Cubanos that Chiyo had rescued earlier. Then Chiyo came to her senses.

"Of course you can come with us. Is everyone here?" she asked.

"No. He have a camp just a few miles West of here. But you must hurry! The hunting party split into two earlier and went in the direction of our camp. They'll find everyone!"

"Okay. We'll help" said Nigel. "Everyone, get through the portal. Chiyo, go with them and prepare to go to Arabia. Tell the construction workers to start building extra houses on Isla Pena."

"Got it" she replied. "Come on everyone."

"Thank you my friends. Thank you ever so much! I will always remember the kindness you have shown us!" said the African American man before he and all the others ran through the portal with Chiyo.

As soon as everyone went through, a trio of Dogo Cubanos ran out from the woods and through the portal as well. Nigel heard the slave catchers coming closer and closer, so he closed the portal, grabbed the devices, and started running West as fast as he possibly could. He didn't stop running, even when his lungs and legs started protesting, until he reached the camp. It had several dozen other runaway slaves and makeshift shelters. They were all running away from the camp, as they heard dogs nearby, which most likely were more Dogo Cubanos.

Hastily, Nigel got all the runaway slaves to stop running, explained he had come here to help, and told them he was going to take them to the future, where they would be safe and sound. They all seemed excited and as soon as the five Dogo Cubano burst out from the forest from the other side of the camp, they needed no further tempting.

Nigel set the portal up and all the slaves ran through. Boys, girls, moms, dads, children, babies, grandparents, teenagers. Everyone poured through. The Dogo Cubanos watched the slaves disappear into the future for a moment. Then Nigel pulled out a dog biscuit. They dogs looked at him as he ran through. Then they joined him and the slaves, in the twenty first century.

Back in the holding pens, the slaves looked dumbfounded at the lights and electrical devices here and there. Nigel laughed in happiness and relief. In Cuba alone, he had saved eight Dogo Cubanos, a dozen woodpeckers, a flock of macaws, and dozens of runaway slaves. Chiyo had also told him that she had saved a further eight Dogo Cubanos and five solenodons. He happily thought that John Hammond would have been ecstatic.

To prevent the dogs from attacking the slaves, the keepers had put them in the holding pens that had remained intact from Cronus and Indy fighting. As the slaves were guided to a temporary housing area, Chiyo drove into the holding pens on a jeep with Bowwow in the back.

"Are you ready Nigel?" she yelled above the sound of construction workers repairing the holding pens and expanding them.

"Not yet" he yelled, panting from his long run in Cuba to rescue the now free slaves.

"Well too bad! Get in!" she yelled.

Nigel walked slowly toward the jeep, where Bowwow licked his face and started jumping on him to be petted. Nigel got in the driver's seat and waited for the controls men to reset the portal. Once reset, the three drove through, unknowingly taking a forth with them.

While the two time travelers look for their ostriches, Bob has woken up and is telling his tale about the egg napping and attack.

Bob had just finished and everyone was furious: Muldoon, Nima Cruz (Prehistoric Park's head security officer, Muldoon took care of the animals while she did the people), Suzanne, Mary, and Owen.

"THEY STOLE REX EGGS!" yelled Muldoon.

"Yes" said Bob. "I tried to stop them, but they pulled a pistol out on me and tried to get the rexes to kill me. I should have stopped them." said Bob now, his eyes welling up.

"Bob, no one can blame you with someone pointing a gun at you" said Mary.

"I'll use the Dogo Cubanos to track them down" said Nima, her face almost as red as Chiyo's hair.

"I'll send the Argentavis around Isla Nublar, Sorna, and Muerta" said Owen. "I've trained them to search for certain symbols on objects. Those include the US Navy, Prehistoric Park Security, and BioSyn. If anyone will find them, it's them."

"You wanna bet?" said Nima.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but did any of you get into the Embryonic Storage or give someone permission to? asked a male voice from the doorway. In the doorway stood Henry Wu, holding several papers that held mathematical formulas, blueprints, and diagrams. Everyone shook their heads.

"Why?" asked Suzanne.

"Two hours ago, someone got into the Embryonic Storage, saying that they got permission from a head staff member. However, after hearing Bob's tale, I believe that these might actually have been the BioSyn employees. They took several samples of several different species."

"Which ones?" asked Muldoon.

"Spinosaurus, Troodon, Dilophosaurus, Pteranodon, Velociraptor, Dimorphodon, Compsognathus, and Carnotaurus."

Everyone looked at each other. Then they all excused themselves and went to look for the two BioSyn employees.

"Thank you for revealing this information to us Bob" said Suzanne as she got ready to look around Tacano. "Just stay here and rest. Chiyo brought back a surprise from Cuba for you and I hear Nigel got you a little something from the same area you got the Grice pigs as well. Just relax. We'll get the eggs and embryos back. Don't worry."

Meanwhile in Arabia, Nigel and Chiyo have found what they have come for. But they are about to get another surprise

A herd of ostriches with red necks and heads were drinking from a desert oasis. The ostriches, apart from their red heads and necks, looked like any other ostrich.

"At last, we've found our ostriches!" Nigel said excitedly. "They would eventually go extinct due to overhunting. But now, we can save them from extinction. By the way Chiyo, are you hungry?"

"Ya. I'm pretty hungry. I could go for one of the granola bars we packed."

Nigel went to the back of the jeep and pulled the tarp off to reveal a stowaway. Python sat slept their, curled up like a cat, with all the food supplies ripped into and eaten all around him. He looked up lazily at Nigel, blinking the sleep out of his eyes.

Nigel just stood there, dumbfounded for a moment. Then Chiyo came to see what was going on.

"Nigel, what happe..." then she saw Python. "Python! What are you doing here?"

The little theropod jumped off the car and landed on top of Bowwow. The two animals both went tumbling down the dunes, startling the ostriches, which in turn started running up. Chiyo grabbed the portal devices from her backpack and ran ahead, setting the portal up in the sand. As soon as the ostriches reached the portal, she activated it and sent them through.

"Here Bowwow" Chiyo yelled. Bowwow started running up the sand dune with Python chasing him. Chiyo ran through the portal. Bowwow chased Chiyo through, which in turn Python chased Bowwow through.

Nigel climbed into the jeep, got the ignition going, and drove back to the holding pens.

Meanwhile, on Isla Sorna, Owen has found the two troublesome BioSyn employees looking at one of the park's sadder residents.

Owen recognized the two by a sketch that Nima Cruz had drawn from Bob's description. They had even taken it to Bob who had said that was exactly what they looked like.

The two had somehow gotten to the Atlas elephant enclosure at Holocene Heights. Tantor was at Nublar for a checkup, which left only Nala in the enclosure. She was walking up to the two who stood still. She reached her trunk out at them. Then the man slapped her trunk away rather hardly and meanly. Nala made a pained, sad noise and went back to standing with her face to a tree.

Owen did a whistle, not loud enough for the two people to hear, but enough for a close by Argentavis to hear. It flew low to the ground and out of sight of the BioSyn employees.

Once it got to Owen, it landed and stood next to him. Owen got his whistle out and made a long, low whistle with it. Then he pointed at the man, then the woman. The Argentavis flew up and started flying to the two humans.

At first they didn't notice the bird as they were walking away. But then it picked up the woman and started flying back to Owen. It's kinda hard to not notice a giant, carnivorous bird fly away with your partner in crime.

The man ran away immediately, as the woman struggled in vain against the predator. The bird dropped her from five feet above the ground and landed on her back, laying her down flat on the ground.

"Where are the eggs?" Owen asked angrily. He wasted in any mood to ask nicely or politely.

"Don't have em" the woman moaned from under the giant bird.

After this, Owen radioed security and told them to look for the man at the Isla Sorna Ferry (which moved from island to island and passed certain ocean enclosures) and the Isla Sorna monorails. Then he called Nima Cruz to come and arrest the woman. Then he noticed that she didn't have her BioSyn helmet on.

The BioSyn helmet was crucial in proving that BioSyn was up to their meddling once more. Without, if they didn't catch the man, they would have no evidence of the egg stealing.

"Where is the helmet?" Owen asked, fighting the urge to have the Argentavis drop her in one of the Predator X tanks.

"My employer took it" the woman said gritting her teeth. "I'm just a mercenary."

Owen was  really  tempted to have the giant bird drop her in an X (nickname for Predator X) tank.

"Where is he going?" he asked.

"The speedboat we have on the coast" she said.

While security deals with the mercenary, Nigel and Chiyo go to their last destination on their list. The breeding grounds of the Eskimo curlew.

The two stalked through the portal with both Python and Bowwow on leashes. In the little valley below the tundra hill they were on were millions of the birds that they had come here for.

"We had John Arnold look for the breeding grounds of the Eskimo Curlew a week in advance. It was hard work for him, but he eventually found" Nigel explained. "Oh look, we have a visitor."

Running up the hill was an arctic fox with it's summer coat on. In it's jaws was a dead lemming. Once Bowwow barked at it, the fox went running away, down into the valley with the millions of birds.

"We should be going down there" said Chiyo. Nigel nodded in agreement and the two hiked down the hill. Once reaching the bottom, they found out the ground was soft and marshy. Moss, grasses, and lichens grew everywhere and the curlews flew away one of them got to close.

Nigel noticed Python pulling on his leash toward a particularly large group of the birds, so he gave the leash to Chiyo and gave the birds a wide berth before coming to a stop in front of the small flock. He set the portal up in the low, but lush vegetation, then shouted at Chiyo to let Python go.

She obliged and Python raced toward the birds and scared the flock towards Nigel. Nigel opened the portal with a remote and they all went through into the new holding aviary. Nigel closed it just in time to avoid having Python run through.

"Now back to Prehistoric Park" he said. Once Chiyo and the two animals went through, he took one last look at the breeding ground.

It was beautiful from high up. The rising sun came from the East to show the lush green valley and clear, rocky streams and lake. Millions of birds still remained and, here and there, an arctic fox or small group of caribou wandered about.

"Maybe I'll bring Bob here once he feels better" Nigel said. "Yes, I think I'll do that." Then he went through.

Meanwhile, at Nigel's bungalow….

Python had run back to Nigel's bungalow while everyone was distracted with the new birds. Python immediately went to Nigel's freezer and opened it with his mouth. Inside were Morning Star soy protein products and a tub of vanilla ice cream.

Python grabbed all of it and started chowing down. Nigel was going to have a heart attack when he came home.

Back on Sorna, Nima and Owen have arrested the BioSyn mercenary and tracked down the BioSyn employee. But now they have run into the impassable obstacle that they were afraid of: catching up to the man too late.

The two ran onto the beach just to see a speedboat drive off in the distance. They had come too late to retrieve the embryos and save the eggs. What BioSyn wanted to do with the eggs, nobody knew. But right now, neither Nima nor Owen didn't cared. They had come so close to saving them, but failed. And now BioSyn had two Tyrannosaurus eggs.

Owen hung his head down and Nima Cruz crossed her arms and glared at the disappearing speedboat, already a speck in the distance.

Nigel has returned to his bungalow to find ice cream and half-eaten soy protein products across the kitchen floor. To calm his mind, he has decided to stroll around Peace Park's new bird paddocks.

After getting off the monorail, Nigel was walking in a newly built area of Peace Park. In an hour, guests would be allowed to see the wildlife that our ancestors had wiped out. First on Nigel's list was the tropical aviary.

It was almost as big as the Quetzalcoatlus part of Pterosaur Aviary. It was dominated by tropical trees and plants that would have grown in the Cuban habitat. A stone walkway went to the back of the exhibit with four foot high glass walls at each side. The roof of the aviary was three stories off the ground. The giant solenodons each had a territory of their own, each separated by the glass. Half a dozen holes had been built into the trees for the woodpeckers, which had already moved in. The macaws usual gathered at the back of the enclosure, but Nigel saw multiple macaws on the way to the back.

The back of the enclosure was a raised platform that overlooked a miniature valley that had a two story waterfall that fell into a large pond. On the platform were two structures. One was a shop called Macaw Margaritas that had a smiling cartoon Cuban macaw on it. The other was a stage where curious guests could sit down on the seats in front of it and see, interact, and listen to the park's inhabitants and their stories.

Owen would come down and tell everyone how he trained the raptors and argens, a Neanderthal elder would come and tell about the Neanderthal folklore, religion, and legends, and Bob, Suzanne, Chiyo, or another keeper would bring a Dogo Cubano, Python, Bowwow, a Microraptor, or other small creature down to teach everyone about. They would even let people pet the Cubano, Bowwow, and Python. More ideas were sure to be pitched in the future. The stage would certainly be a popular attraction.

Nigel walked out of the Cuban aviary and to the ostrich area. It was created to look just like the Arabian sand dunes. Three oases were scattered around the enclosure: one where the general public could see the birds, another where the staff could see them, and another where they could have some privacy.

After watching the ostriches for awhile, Nigel headed in the direction of the Northern aviary. The path was protected from snow from glass fencing. Once in you hiked through a warm, solid marsh (for the curlews to breed in), a snowy forest (it was fenced off from most of the aviary because it held a family of Arctic foxes), a clear-streamed, soft marsh (for finding their food), and a stand near the back where one could see a model skeleton of an Eskimo curlew, an Arctic fox, a snowy owl, a harp seal, and a polar bear (the park happened to house all the animals listed in order to conserve endangered species as well as the extinct). It also had a small winter-themed gift shop, a sectioned off area where a trio of snowy owls were, and a hot cocoa stand.

Nigel walked through the aviary several times before going to a secluded monorail in a staff zone of Peace Park. From there, he zipped across the sea, passing many of the exhibits from above: Jurassic Heights, the Pteranodon section of Pterosaur Aviary, one of the two Smilodon Populator prides, and Lamia the Megalodon's tank. Finally, he reached Isla Pena where he walked out from and took a jeep to a site in construction.

The construction workers were hard at work, building another village on Isla Pena for the runaway slaves to live in. It would have everything that the staff village had. Grocery stores, monorail access, boat docks, a school, everything. They would have all the necessities that they needed to live.

The runaways had built a temporary camp around the construction site. Some of the slaves had decided that they wanted to work at the park, while most of the others just wanted to stay on Isla Pena to live an easier, simpler life and maybe explore the park once in a while.

Nigel went around asking the former slaves if they needed anything. One said that he needed some food, while another said she would like some water. Once Nigel brought those to them, he walked back to the monorail one last time.

Two Hours Later….

All of the staff, Neanderthals, and Homo Erectus had gathered in front of Main Street for Bob's birthday. Chiyo had already shown the Bob the solenodons (he thought they were kinda cute), Suzanne had given him a taser (in case he ever needed to tase someone back), Muldoon had gotten him a raptor skull (no raptors were killed in the process of obtaining it), Owen had gotten him a whistle and taught him how to signal the argens with it (one flew Bob over Deinosuchus Dip, scared him pretty bad), Nima got him a watch that actually had a tranquilizer dart in it and could shoot it out if he pressed the reset button three times in a row (he caught Phil with it), John got him a new phone (with all the usual apps: taser app, escaped animal tracking app, self-destruct app which needed your fingerprint to activate and had a timer of thirty seconds. You know, the usual), Nick had gotten him whoopee cushion (haha. Very funny Nick.) and Jordan, Conner, and Maria built an amber walking stick just like John Hammond use to have (fancy!).

Nigel of course had one last surprise in store. Nigel walked Bob, who was blindfolded, through Main Street and into Prehistoric Petting Zoo. Once they reached a green pasture, he uncovered Bob's eyes. Bob looked around the enclosure until his eyes stopped on a flock of sheep.

"You got me sheep Nigel?" he asked. "Thank you for getting something that won't kill me."

"These are an extinct breed of sheep called Scottish Dunface. They were a local sheep breed where you rescue the Grice. I thought you would like them, but I have another present for you."

Nigel walked away from Bob and grabbed a nearby box with holes in it. Nigel then handed the box to Bob who opened it. Inside were three Kuri puppies, pawing the sides of the box until Bob opened it.

"Puppies, Nigel? You shouldn't have" he said.

"Well, I didn't know if you would like the sheep so I bought three puppies just incase."

While the park settles down, Nigel can look at the park from his bungalow. He was extremely sad that two of Cronus and Jane's eggs were taken, but he couldn't help but be glad that they had at least one egg left. And that was the happy thought that allowed Nigel to sleep that night.

In the middle of the night in Nigel's bungalow, Python sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed all the remaining contents from the fridge and freezer and started to chow down once more. Nigel was going to have a seizure in the morning.

Next week on Prehistoric Park, Nigel an Chiyo rescue two of Africa's most symbolic creatures,

(a herd of elephants trumpets at a pack of lions)

but will they do it in time to save Nala?

(Nala looks at a herd of elephants)

And how hard can taking care of a herd of ostriches be?

(an ostrich kicks a man in the gut, while the rest of the herd peck people in)

All next time, on Prehistoric Park!

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 on a safari with a difference, as wildlife as adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into pre-history 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, Nigel and Chiyo will go back to the Cretaceous to save a small buck-toothed theropod, but run across some titanic sized surprises.

Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

Chapter 3- Deadly Eden

Prehistoric Park is busy today. Nigel and Chiyo are preparing to save one of the weirdest theropods ever to live: the amazing Incisivosaurus. The small buck-toothed theropod was a must if Prehistoric Park was to show some of the most unusual creatures ever to live. Although they will have to be careful.

Nigel sat in a newly built area of Prehistoric Park called Yixian Formation C. In front of him was a newly built exhibit that lay empty. It was created to resemble a Chinese Cretaceous forest. In the canopy above were screeching macaws.

"Hello there" Nigel said, smiling at the cameraman with his characteristic smile. "Bob has just finished building Yixian Formation C. Today, we're going to be saving the buck-toothed theropod known as Incisivosaurus. It's not well known, but today we're going to change that. After all, an animal that unique does deserve to be rescued. However, we'll have to be careful. An active volcano is nearby and we don't know every dinosaur that lived in the ecosystem. We know for sure that we can run into some Yutyrannus or Dilong..."

Just then, Python and Bowwow came running up the path and over to Nigel. Bowwow greeted Nigel with a traditional lick to the face as Python sneakily ate the trail mix with M&Ms Nigel had left out. Several minutes later, Chiyo came and Nigel found out he was too late to save his trail mix.

"Well, the Para-Site is almost done with construction." Chiyo said. "It is almost breeding season again, which means the animals are going to be feeling all lovey dovey all over again. Cronus is finally calming down and Nima Cruz has hired a private agent to find out what BioSyn could possibly be doing to the eggs and embryos."

"That's great Chiyo" Nigel said. "We need to get going now. We're bring Python and Bowwow with us this time, and knowing Python, we're going to need a lot of extra rations."

As Nigel and Chiyo prepare to travel back to Cretaceous China once more, Python has gotten away and into a popular restaurant in Jurassic Treetops: Brachiosaur Brunch.

Python had raided several popcorn and ice cream stands along the way. Guests had petted him and he had even gotten some free food out of them by begging. But now he was nearly at his favorite restaurant in the whole island chain.

The staff at Brachiosaur Brunch often left scrambled eggs and bacon for Python whenever he got away from the staff. And that was everyday of the week. Nothing on Earth would stop him from getting his food. Not even Cronus in his rampages.

Python finally reached a wooden staircase that spiraled up into the trees. Next to the staircase was a breakfast-lunch restaurant with several picnic tables and chairs. The extinct cry violet flowers grew in several different plant pots around the outside and inside of the diner. A dozen or so people were inside enjoying the food.

Python ran to the back, where he was greeted by a young waiter and waitress with three pieces of bacon and scrambled eggs galore. Python licked his jaws as he prepared for the most most important meal of the day: the one right in front of him.

While Nigel is almost done with packing, Chiyo and Bowwow almost done organizing the team, and Python almost done with brunch, Bob must feed the herd of Pawpawsaurus and Tenontosaurus.

Bob drove through the enclosure in a large truck full of alfalfa and other plants to scatter through the enclosure. It was next to the ocean and had a river running through it. The beach was a pristine white and the wooded area was half open forest, half fern plain.

Bob drove by the river, where three of the seven Pawpawsaurus silently swam in. Another three browsed at the edge of the forest. But where was the last?

"I don't see him" said Bob. "We're always careful with all of our animals, but the alpha male Pawpawsaurus is unusually aggressive at jeeps, trucks, or other vehicles. We can't even have armored trucks in here. I think he believes that we're competitors for the rest of the herd. That makes it especially hard to care for him. But he's nowhere near the amount of trouble we have with Phil, Python, Indy, or Cronus. Chiyo named the alpha male Papa Pawpaw. I thought it was a bit of a funny name, but now I just associate the name with troublesome herbivores."

Suddenly, a powerful blow pounded the back of the truck, spilling nearly two tonnes of herbivorous Mesozoic animal feed on none other than an angry Papa Pawpaw, who had snuck up behind Bob. The male struggled out of the food for several seconds, which gave Bob enough time to hit the gas.

"GO AWAY ALREADY!" yelled Bob out the window as Papa Pawpaw chased after him. "JUST GO BACK AND EAT!"

After more than half a minute later, the armored dinosaur stopped. The Pawpawsaurus grunted and then lumbered off to the river, seeing that it wasn't going to catch Bob. Bob sighed once the nodosaur had left.

"I always get angry when people intrude on my property, but that guy takes things to a whole new level."

Meanwhile, at the holding pens, the team has assembled and everyone is ready to go back in time to save the amazing Incisivosaurus. But little do they know, Python and Bowwow have brought some friends.

"I think we're ready" said Nigel goodnaturedly as the time portal came to life.

However, in the back was Jordan, who was coming, who hadn't noticed that his backpack had become significantly heavier. For inside where the two mated Microraptors, Bill and Jill, who had been nesting in Nigel's office, eating his granola bars. Python had slipped in his two partners in crime.

"I think we're ready" said Chiyo, holding Bowwow's leash.

With that, everyone walked through the swirling blue portal. They all emerged on the shore of a blue lake. A volcano loomed several miles away and forest dominated the entire area. A colony of wild Microraptors were calling and a pterosaur flew in the distance.

"Welcome to early Cretaceous China" said Nigel proudly. "We need to get away from the lakeside, because predators usually stalk along the shores. The slope of the volcano may be a safe area, but we still need to be careful. John did surveys of the area and he said that the volcano will erupt in three day. Plus, multiple predators live here, including Yutyrannus."

"Nigel?" asked a new staff member named Ben. "Are those birds or dinosaurs?" Ben pointed at the brush that had a flock of foot long creatures. All of them had a beak and had white feathers, but couldn't fly and had teeth, tails, and claws.

"Those are a dinosaur species called  Mei Long . They're a small insectivorous animal that would most likely have followed large herbivores to eat the grubs, insects, and spiders stirred up. They look cute enough. I think we could rescue some. Bob always appreciates something that doesn't eat meat."

Suddenly, a shriek sounded through the area and a pack of peacock feathered dromaeosaurids ran at the flock of tiny Mei. The little dinosaurs scattered and the raptors started zeroing in on a small group.

The little dinosaurs started shrieking and tried to split up, but the raptors had surrounded them. All the raptors started darting in at once and it became a dog pile of raptors trying to get a successful catch and Mei desperately trying to escape. One or two of the little animals got away, but the rest were caught in the jaws of the raptors.

"I know what they are" said Chiyo quietly to avoid catch the attention of the raptors. "They're a newly discovered raptor species called  Zhenyuanlong Suni . They're twenty-five pounds and were found in Northeastern China."

"I sure wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of those claws" said Jordan from the back. This was just his second time going back in time to rescue extinct species.

"Sure wouldn't" whimpered Chiyo. She still had nightmares about the Dromaeosaurus that had allowed Cronus to break out after the Deinosuchus rescue mission. Her phobia of large dromaeosaurids had only increased even more after hearing the story of Muldoon's vicious mauling from the Utahraptor pack.

However, Nigel had other plans. He set up the time portal in front of the team and started shouting and yelling to get the attention of the raptors. The alpha male turned his gaze to him with eyes that seemed to pierce into the soul. He shrieked and the rest of the pack charged at him.

Nigel activated the portal and all the raptors, except the alpha male ran through. The alpha male ran around the portal and into a position where it could leap at the team. Nigel looked at the claws as the Zhenyuanlong raised them and leaped into the air with a growl. Just before it get to him, a green and yellow flash tackled into it.

It was Python! The raptor rolled down the hill until rebalancing itself. The later dinosaur snarled at Python, who stood his ground against the raptor, even though it was smarter and had the lethal kill claws. They both suddenly ran at each other, both shrieking.

Right before they collided, the Zhenyuanlong jumped into the air, trying to land behind Python. However, Python's tail had hit the alpha male's legs, knocking him off balance, and he went stumbling through the portal.

Nigel quickly closed it. Once content that an opponent had been vanquished, Python let out a series of victory chirps. He may not be able to defeat Victor, but he could defeat a much deadlier dromaeosaurid.

"Good boy Python" yelled Nigel, who rewarded the little dinosaur with a cookie.

"Well, you certainly don't see that everyday" said the cameraman.

A rumble sounded through the forest. Whatever had made it had been large, but could potentially lead them to either their Incisivosaurus or danger.

The forests of Cretaceous China are full of dangerous creatures. Yutyrannus, Zhenyuanlong, and Dilong are just a few of the ferocious predators that lived in this deadly Eden. The crew will have to be wary of predators here.

Half an hour or so away from the lakeside, the team reached a forest clearing full of ferns. A herd of iguanodontids and seven sauropods were browsing there. The iguanodontids were a dark green with brown stripes, while the sauropods were a vibrant yellow with green faces and tails.

"These are two native herbivores that were likely common food sources of the Yutyrannus" Nigel said happily to the camera man. "The iguanodontids are  Bolong Yixianensis . It's name means small dragon. The sauropod is a species is  Daxiatitan Binglingi . These appear to be juveniles though, because the adults can grow to be thirty meters long! That would make it one of the largest sauropods known. Speaking of which, I may soon decide to rescue  Amphecolias Fragillimus. "

With a volcano about to wipe out all of the wildlife in the area, the team decides that it would be a good idea to save them. It was a simple procedure, with the team creating a funnel of logs that would herd the animals to the time portal. To encourage them even further in the right direction, Chiyo would play a recorded Yutyrannus roar at the other end of the clearing.

When the trap was set, Chiyo activated the recorded Yutyrannus roar and the Bolong all started looking around. They started backing away from the side of the clearing and down the funnel. Once they reached the portal, it activated and sent them into the future. One species down, one to go.

Chiyo crept up behind the Daxiatitan leader and played the roars. However, they had a much different reaction. The sauropods started running towards the portal, destroying the funnel, and scared little dino-birds in nearby trees which in turn glided on to them and clung onto them.

Python and Bowwow ran away from the sauropods with Nigel and Chiyo. The two humans didn't even notice the two Microraptors on their pets.

After several moments of chaos, Nigel and Chiyo pulled out the biggest portal grenades and chucked them at the panicked dinosaurs, sending the dino-birds with them too.

One, however, was left behind and fluttered to the ground before being caught by Python. Chiyo quickly got Python off and grabbed the little dino-bird herself. It was grey with red and black stripes and a red plume on it's head.

"This is an  Anchiornis Huxleyi.  They were discovered by Xu Xing, a famous paleontologist who often visits Prehistoric Park. He even helped us catch the Sinornithosaurus and Borealosaurus. This little guy appears to be a male. I'm just going to quickly send him back. You guys go on and make camp without me. I'll catch up."

Meanwhile at Prehistoric Park, Muldoon is watching Indy pace the edge of the concrete wall that separates Indy's and Ido's enclosure from her's. And Muldoon sees what she's after.

Muldoon saw what she wanted. Ido was walking around the wall, almost taunting her with a cow carcass in his jaws, as Domino was playing his favorite game, Knock Down, with an unfortunate heron that every time tried to fly away but was knocked out of the air and back onto the ground by the young Indominus. Muldoon laughed at that.

"I think Ido is just trying to tease her" he said to the camera. "As you can see, Domino is knocking the bird out of the sky repeatedly. He plays his game differently with every animal. If it's a rabbit, he'll chase it and jump onto it to make it tumble down. If it's a small bird like a sparrow, he'll whack it with his tail. If it's person, he'll use his head to knock them down."

Muldoon started cracking up when Domino started ramming into Ido's legs to knock him down. The older gave a few grunts before he went tumbling down and created a big dust cloud. Muldoon was laughing like he had never had before. It was just another day at Prehistoric Park.

In Cretaceous China, the crew has set up camp and left to scout the area for potential carnivores. As soon as they get back though, they find their camp trashed.

The tents were ripped up and all the rations had been broken into. Nigel just stood there dumbfounded until he saw a rustle in the tent. Carefully, he and everyone else surrounded it and peaked in. Inside were five figures.

Bowwow sat down panting as the two Microraptor remained in Jordan's backpack, sleeping. Python was eating the rations as a brown, badger-sized mammal shared with him. As soon as the mammal saw him, it tried to run and hide at the bottom of a sleeping bag. Chiyo immediately pounced on it as Nigel got it into a safe hold. The mammal bared it's teeth aggressively.

"This mammal is a  Repenomamus Giganticus,  a mammal that ate dinosaurs" Nigel said struggling to keep ahold of the mammal and activate the portal. "It has a smaller relative called  Repenomamus Robustus,  but we'll rescue it another time. A fossil of a young Psittacosaurus was found inside of it, proving that it ate young dinosaurs. Probably smelled the ham for any carnivore we wanted to rescue. There you go!"

The mammal rushed into the portal, while the crew started taking what wasn't destroyed and making makeshift hammocks and and setting up sound traps and net traps that would catch an Incisivosaurus if one came by during the night. Nigel quickly sent Bill and Jill back through the portal and settled down for the night.

As the crew settles down for the night, Suzanne is taking a stroll through the park on her break.

Suzanne was walking along the coastline, thinking what a privilege it was to work at Prehistoric Park. As she walked, she thought of the many great memories and mysteries of the park. She got so lost in thought that she didn't notice the camp until she walked into it.

It was at least two weeks old, around the day that Nigel had saved the Cuban macaws and other extinct birds. Several papers were strewn about two tents and a rock fireplace. Suzanne noticed a wooden canoe and inflatable speedboat. Candy wrappers and soda cans were strewn about and three remote control rovers. And on little wooden stool was an innocent looking can that said Barbasol.

Suzanne had discovered the camp of the BioSyn mercenary and her partner in crime! She was just about to run off to alert everyone to her discovery when a small paper caught her eye. She carefully picked it up to avoid tearing it against the sharp branches of the bush it was under. What was on it made her terrified.

It showed a plot of land, which was likely an island similar in size to Isla Tacano, on one side while on the other, it had several codes. It was codes that scared her.

Suzanne only understood pieces of it, but she was able to piece together enough to understand that she had found the fate of the embryos and eggs. BioDyn was making it's own dinosaur park again.

While Suzanne rushes to catch Nima before her agent leaves the islands, Nigel, Chiyo, Python, and the team have woken up. It was time to rescue the Incisivosaurus.

The team hiked through the forest for a little bit when they found a game trail. With no better leads, they decided to follow it. But they will have to be careful. Predators hunt on game trails.

"We've been following this game trail for an hour now" Nigel said cheerily to the cameraman. "This trail is too small for Bolong or sauropods or even Yutyrannus. This most likely belongs to Jeholosaurus, but there is still a chance that it belongs to our target. We've been seeing animals follow us for a while now and we think something is following us."

As Nigel finished his sentence, a large number of ferns started rustling and and the rustling was going towards them. As if something was running towards them. Acting quickly, the entire team pulled portal grenades out and threw them into the bushes and ferns, just as the first Mei Long came out. Everyone threw their grenades before they knew what was running towards them.

"Oh" said Nigel after he actually saw what they had caught. They now didn't have any item that they could use at a distance to catch dangerous or fleeing animals. "My bad, everyone" said Nigel.

Just then, Ben was pulled into the ferns through his backpack. He fought as he was dragged through the vegetation. Everyone ran after him and his kidnappers, which were five small, green raptors. It appeared that China was a heaven for raptor species.

One leaped on top of Ben and tried to sniff at him, but everyone ran and tackled the raptors, trying to save their friend. Nigel hurriedly opened the portal and sent them through.

"Ow" moaned Ben. "I don't think we should stay on this game trail anymore."

The team agreed and Nigel and Chiyo reluctantly started leading the team away and back to the base of the volcano. As they reached the base, they saw a small pterosaur colony halfway up. Perhaps they could look for Incisivosaurus from high ground?

At Prehistoric Park, Bob is feeding his new favorite animal: Momo, the baby Majungasaurus.

Momo was yapping excitedly as Bob threw a bloody chunk of meat down. Momo seemed to chirp in thanks as she darted toward it. Bob smiled. Momo had been orphaned by the male Majungasaurus at the park and a wild Mahajangasuchus in Cretaceous Madagascar.

Ever since Nigel's last mission, Momo had been introduced to the Majungasaurus family, but they didn't seem to like her. It was then that she had decided that Bob was her new mother. Bob had more responsibility than ever now. He was head keeper of Prehistoric Park, in charge of the holding pens, had a wife and two kids, had three baby Kuri puppies, and was now the mother to Momo.

Suddenly Suzanne came running up the walkway with several old papers in her hand.

"Bob, I need to borrow your jeep" she said hurriedly. "I find out what BioSyn is doing with the eggs and embryos."

While Suzanne rushes to alert the rest of the staff, Nigel rushes to catch the Incisivosaurus before it is too late. However, for tonight, he has let let sleeping dinosaurs lie.

Nigel and Chiyo stood in the breeding colony of pterosaurs. They were a light blue and smelled of saltwater and fish. The ocean could be seen in the far distance.

"We are in the middle of a flock of breeding Eosipterus, a small pterosaur from China" Nigel said as one swooped down next to him. Unfortunately for us, we won't be able to save these magnificent animals just yet, but we may soon do a Lost, But Not Forgotten mission. Now, if you look down there, you may see a herd of small dinosaurs. They appear to be nesting down there. The rest of the team has gone through the portal and Chiyo and I are going to make a camp up here."

The next morning, Nigel and Chiyo wake up to a volcano about to explode. Not wanting to die or leave without an Incisivosaurus, they investigate the nesting dinosaurs quickly.

And they were there. The nesting dinosaurs had been the Incisivosaurus, who were only a mile away from the first base camp. The males danced around and tried their luck at attracting the less brightly colored females.

"We've finally found them" said Chiyo, pointing at the displaying males. "This is Incisivosaurus. We've found them and they are beautiful. They have to small, saber-shaped teeth, but people often think that they were in the shape of a rodent's when they're told they are buck-toothed. They appear to be omnivorous."

Suddenly, a rumble was heard. All the panicked dinosaurs start running towards the forest.

It appears that the volcano has erupted. Landslides are the constant enemies of the animals of the Early Cretaceous.

Chiyo and Nigel shot heavy-duty net guns at a female Incisivosaurus, which made the rest of the flock rush to their defense. The two humans quickly grabbed the female and ran through the portal as the rest of the flock chased after them just before a landslide from the volcano covered them.

Nigel and Chiyo arrived at the holding pens, with the flock of angry Incisivosaurus. The dinosaurs were quickly ushered into the holding pens, where they were given food and water before a moving truck came to take them to Yixian Formation C.

Back at Momo's enclosure...

Momo pushed the door open. After hearing what Suzanne had discovered, Bob had forgotten to close the door properly. Momo pushed the door open and followed the scent that was carried from Isla Nublar to Sorna. Momo had smelled the scents of at least a hundred creatures that she had never seen before, but this one was new. It seemed to call to her to investigate. Momo ran towards the scent. She was going to have some fun now.

While Momo gets into trouble, Nigel and the rest of the staff have heard the news of BioSyn's planned park. To calm his anger, he has decided to look at the new residents of Yixian formation C.

Nigel stood in the herbivore hide inside the trees. The Bolong were currently eating ferns with him as the Daxiatitan waded through a small lake to get to trees on the other side. The enclosure was dominated by Cretaceous-era trees that had been cloned by Henry Wu.

Nigel smiled. Henry had cloned over 3,000 extinct plant species and 600 species of ancient invertebrates that had been caught in amber. The board was even going to open a plant trail and insect house soon. However, Henry lately had been secretive lately, often skipping meetings to work on Hammond's project.

Nigel walked away from Bolong Lake and hiked up the sandy path to Repenomamus Burrow. Inside, the little mammal was happily snapping up chicks and lizards, but strangely avoiding the mice that had been laid out. Nigel would rescue a few more later.

Chiyo came up the path several minutes later and started walking with Nigel.

"Nigel, we should identify the dromaeosaurids that attacked Ben" she said to him. Nigel nodded and walked to a new enclosure. It was a dried creek bed in the forest. The five raptors were tumbling and playing with their object of interest: a large, red ball.

"These are Yixianosaurus" Chiyo said to the camera. "These are another species discovered by Xu Xing. They were discovered in 2003 and are actually insectivoures. I think that they were attacking Ben because he was carrying some crickets in case we needed to use them as bait for some animal."

Nigel left the area as Chiyo looked at the dromaeosaurids. She may be afraid of raptors, but only the ones bigger than a man. These were quite small.

Nigel walked past the new Incisivosaurus nesting area. They were all dancing around and exploring their new paddock. The males were rushing into the forest and grabbing sticks, rushing to make new nests to attract mates.

Smiling, Nigel left to the last two enclosures. He strolled inside of the aviary, looking at the diminutive Anchiornis, supposedly the smallest dinosaur ever discovered. They were smaller than even Microraptor! The colony of dinosaurs glided through the trees, although a few were in a small pond like ducks and foraging on the ground with the Mei, which shared the aviary.

Nigel left to see the dinosaurs that he personally liked the most in Yixian Formation C. Nigel stopped on top of a platform that allowed him to observe the feathered Zhenyuanlong. Even though Chiyo was afraid of them, it had to be admitted that they were beautiful.

Suddenly, Nigel's radio blared. It was Muldoon.

"Nigel, we need help now! Momo, the orphaned Majungasaurus, has somehow gotten in the Tyrannosaurus Rex enclosure! You need to come here now!"

Nigel paled and ran to the nearest monorail.

At the Tyrannosaurus enclosure...

Momo was tumbling in the dirt with Sahara. Both visitors and staff watched horrified as Jane walked out of the trees and towered over Sahara and Momo. The two juveniles stayed playing until Jane gave a snort.

Sahara ran behind her mother as Momo finally noticed the towering Jane. Jane lowered her head and started sniffing Momo. Momo stood completely still, afraid of the towering behemoth. Finally, Jane turned around and had Sahara follow her. The two started walking away until halfway to the trees, Jane turned around and looked at Momo.

Momo stood there until Jane snorted. Then Momo started to follow Jane. The crowd seemed to release their breath all at once as soon as they figured out Jane wasn't going to kill Momo. The three walked into the forest and met Cronus, who also inspected Momo, before he decided she was okay. The carnivores all walked off into the forest.

It seemed that Momo had a new family.

Next time on Prehistoric Park, Nigel and Chiyo save a sea scorpion mistaken for a spider

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 on a safari with a difference, as wildlife as adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into pre-history 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, Nigel will rescue a cannibalistic dinosaur, while he picks up a few more unique creatures straight from the imagination.

Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

Chapter 4- Monsters of Majunga Basin

Today, the entire park is excited by the arrival of new residents of a new zone called Majunga Basin. Bob has prepared for everything from sauropods to giant frogs. Now Nigel is about to break the news about the main target to him.

"YOU WANT TO CATCH WHAT?!" yelled Bob after hearing what Nigel wanted to rescue. Nigel was holding up a picture of a theropod dinosaur eating another of it's kind. On its file it read  Majungasaurus Crenatissimus. Several other files were on the table around it. They showed a small mammal, big frog, sauropod, snaggle-toothed theropod, pug faced crocodile, and large snake.

Nigel turned to the cameraman, smiling and holding the picture up for the camera to see.

"This time, Chiyo and I are going back to Cretaceous Madagascar to rescue an entire ecosystem. But our main target is it's top predator: Majungasaurus. They were the first proven dinosaur cannibal, although they may have just ate the carcasses of other Majungasaurus when they were already dead. We thought that they would be a prime attraction and a great candidate for Prehistoric Park. But we're still are going to bring back other animals though. Those include Rahonavis, Beelzebufo, and Rapetosaurus, among others. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get to the Sorna holding pens."

As Nigel prepares to go to Madagascar, Python is up to his usual fanatics.

Python walked down Main Street on a leash held by Suzanne with Bowwow. The two had become famous worldwide and a sleuth of Python and Bowwow merchandise had been made, bringing in both InGen and Masrani Inc millions of dollars within the first week.

The three walked by the multiple shops and hotels. Once they reached a cotton candy stand however, Python pulled himself out of Suzanne's grip and jumped onto it. Before anyone could do anything, he ripped a bag open and ate it's contents. Just as he was about to eat another Suzanne grabbed ahold of his leash again and pulled him away from his beloved food.

"This little guy is almost as troublesome as Cronus, Indy, or Phil" she explained. "He appears to have a liking to sweets and almost nothing can get him to stop. This, of course, can bring problems up but we don't know whether this can be dangerous to or potential harm Python. Speaking of which, the Caribbean monk seals have recently started showing signs of disease or illness, so we've had to bring all of them back to my clinic. We'll be doing a series of tests later on to see what it is. Right now though..."

Suzanne never got to finish her sentence as Python wriggled free and ran into Carnotaurus Candy Factory. Suzanne sighed. It was going to be a long day.

Meanwhile, at the Sorna holding pens, Nigel and Chiyo are prepared to rescue the Majungasaurus. They just hope that the rest of the staff will be ready for them.

The two walked out of the portal and into a dead swamp. It was easy to see that no water had been here for months and a sauropod skeleton lay in the dry mud. The area looked to be a dead forest in the middle of the desert.

"We've come during the middle of the dry season" explained Chiyo. "This area is a seasonal swamp. For one quarter of the year, it is filled with water and vegetation. For the rest, it looks like this. Animals will be struggling and many would die off during the dry season."

Suddenly a little moan came from over the hill. Carefully, the two humans snuck over and looked to see what was behind it. A young sauropod, no bigger than a goat, had collapsed and was pitifully moaning. Around it, a colony of little mammals scurried in and out of their burrows.

"Poor thing" said Nigel. "The sauropod in front of us is a dinosaur known as Rapetosaurus. They're the ecosystem's only sauropod and large herbivore. Judging by the size of this guy, he only looks like he's a few months old. Sauropods won't protect their eggs and leave once they lay them, like sea turtles. Once they do hatch, infant mortality is high, and only one or two out of a hundred eggs will live to adulthood."

The little dinosaur moaned once more and a shriek sounded nearby. In the distance, several mid-sized theropod dinosaurs could be seen running at the young sauropod. Running quickly, Nigel set up the portal and activated it. The young Rapetosaurus, thinking it was water, ran through the shimmering blue portal and into the safety of the present. And so did the theropods.

"Well, that was fun, but we really should be going to catch ourselves a Majungasaurus" said Nigel.

Chiyo nodded in agreement and looked around in the blistering heat before her eyes landed on an oasis in the distance. The two started hiking toward the water source, determined to bring back a monster that would possibly give Bob a heart attack.

"Oh, almost forgot" Nigel said quickly. He brought out a net gun and shot it at the colony of little mammals, catching a dozen in one shot. The rest of the colony panicked for a moment before calming down again. When Nigel caught another two dozen, he stopped and collected his prizes

"These are another one of our targets" he said. "They're a little species of mammal known as  Vintana Sertichi.  They were discovered recently in Madagascar and I thought it would be nice to bring a colony back to Prehistoric Park. Bob appreciated that I wanted to bring back something that wouldn't eat him. Then I told him about bringing back Majungasaurus."

"Nigel, watch out" yelled Chiyo, just as Nigel tripped over a giant snake. It looked like a Burmese Python, but more slender and faster. It hissed at Nigel before slithering back down the hill to get at the Vintana colony. Nigel looked around and saw several other snakes going down after them. They were all well camouflaged and it was surprising that they hadn't seen them earlier.

"Yet another target species" said Chiyo. "The snakes here are species called  Madtsoia Madagascariensis,  a snake that ate baby dinosaurs and other small prey. There are another two snake species known here, but this species was the only one we thought could attract more visitors. Hopefully the other two species will be at the oasis, but right now, we need to catch these ones since they're one of our targets."

Chiyo grabbed one of the snakes behind the head, forcing it to the ground. The monster snake hissed and squirmed, but couldn't free itself. Once it stopped struggling, Nigel set the portal up in front of the two and activated it. The Madtsoia slithered through and into the holding pens. The two humans repeated this process with four others until they heard a distant roar come from the oasis. There was only predator in the ecosystem that could produce a roar like that.

Nigel and Chiyo quickly grabbed the portal and started running towards the oasis at full speed.

Meanwhile, as Nigel and Chiyo find their monster of Majunga, Cronus has broken out of his enclosure and heading towards Indominus Prison. And Indy was not happy.

The feeding truck was about to drive in and feed Indy when Cronus pushed it aside and burst into the enclosure. The Indominus was nowhere to be seen.

Muldoon was on the walkway on the concrete wall that separated Indy's area and the male area in Indominus Prison. As soon as he heard the heavy footsteps, he knew something was wrong. They didn't match Indy's pace.

"Oh no" he muttered as soon as he looked over the walkway. "This is bad. Cronus knew the environment the first two times he fought Indy. Know she has the upper hand. She'll kill him!"

The jungle left to Cronus suddenly moved. Muldoon knew it was Indy. She had been watching Cronus. She probably still held a grudge against the rex for their previous two fights. And know she was about to attack.

The jungle burst open and the leaf patterned dinosaur attacked Cronus. Cronus turned and managed to duck just in time for Indy's claws to pass harmlessly over his head. Seeing his opportunity, Cronus grabbed Indy's arm and started swinging her around until he let go. It appeared to be his signature move. Unlike the last two times Cronus had used that move, it wasn't meant to injure the opponent, but knock them off balance.

Indy tumbled into the dirt, low and vulnerable to an attacker higher than her. Cronus quickly grabbed her head and started dragging her to the concrete wall, Indy struggling all the way. Once there, he started swinging once more and threw her upward and to the side abit. The Indominus Rex hit the wall hard and passed out cold.

Cronus placed one foot on her head and roared. Then he lowered his knife-filled mouth and prepared for the kill bite. Not knowing what else to do, Muldoon took his flare gun out and fired at Cronus. The rex ran away, having never seen a flare. He ran... right into the animal moving truck at the entrance he came in through.

"Someone get Suzanne" yelled Muldoon. "We've got an injured dinosaur!"

As the clashed carnivores are taken care of, Nigel and Chiyo have come across yet another target. Or several actually.

The oasis was rather large and supported rather large inhabitants. In a fast flowing area with fish in it, a group of snaggle-toothed theropod dinosaurs hunted. On the banks were a group of small, pug-faced crocodiles with short tails eating plants. Under a large rock, some little snakes could be seen. In the distance, a migrating herd of sauropods rested and drank.

"Three of our targets are right here" said Chiyo excited. "The theropods are a species known as Maskaisaurus. They were most likely fish hunters, but they could have gone with some of the smaller land animals in a snap. Those herbivorous crocodiles are Simosuchus and the sauropods in the distance are more Rapetosaurus. We rescued the younger one, but we still think it would be a good idea to save some adults."

"Chiyo, look in the trees" said Nigel. In the trees was a nesting couple of red feathered dinosaurs. Several other nesting couples were close by, among many individual ones. Each one was slightly larger than Microraptor and red in color. They had the distinctive foot claws of a raptor.

"These are another target of ours" said Nigel. "Those are Rahonavis, a feathered dromaeosaurid native to Cretaceous Madagascar. They're capable of gliding and I believe that they may have had a relationship to the Rapetosaurus like oxpeckers and modern African herbivores."

One Rahonavis glided down and came to inspect the two humans, curious but cautious. However, when Chiyo pulled a turkey sandwich out, several others glided down and started following her. Nigel set up the portal so Chiyo could throw the sandwich through and the little dinosaurs vanished into the future.

"Well, that was easy" said Nigel. "I was actually going to have Bob come through and do something like that for the Masiakasaurus, only with a big carp. But first I want to see if they're hostile."

Nigel approached the theropods cautiously, keeping an eye on them at all times. However, when he got too close, the dinosaurs suddenly charged with their mouths low. It seemed that Masiakasaurus could use it's head and jaws as a lethal battering ram.

Chiyo quickly activated the portal and five went through. However, when the sixth reached the edge, a large shape burst through the water and dragged the unfortunate dinosaur underwater to it's doom. The water turned red seconds after that.

"What was that?!" asked Chiyo, her face now pale.

"That was a massive prehistoric crocodile known as Mahajangasuchus." Nigel replied. "I think one or two for Prehistoric Park wouldn't hurt. He has a few little mates there, basking in the other side of the river. We have to be careful with these guys though. They're big enough to pull a full-grown Majungasaurus down under."

Ever watchful, Nigel set the portal up and got a large stick from the ground nearby, while Chiyo had gotten some jars and was catching some of the small snakes that were trying to hide under the rocks.

"These" she explained "are a small species of burrowing snake called Kelyophis. They most likely ate the insects and lizards of the area around. Seeing as these snakes will go extinct soon, I thought that they could be a nice addition. Also, I have a friend that has a special place in his heart for snakes and mosasaurs, so I think he would appreciate these little guys. He looked like he was going to faint when we got the Titanoboa."

Just as she finished collecting the last one, she looked up and into the face of a baby grey theropod. She had to stifle a scream in order to stop from scaring it. It looked at her curiously and cocked it's head from side to side like a bird. It seemed fearless, even ignoring Nigel when he had the Mahajangasuchus chasing after him and two others after he repeated the process twice more.

"Nigel" Chiyo whispered. "I think I've found a baby Majungasaurus!"

Chiyo moved slowly into her backpack to avoid scaring it. But instead of pulling out a tranquilizer pistol or her time portal, she pulled a cold piece of meat wrapped inside of a plastic bag out. The little dinosaur held still. When Chiyo set the meat on the ground in front of it, the little dinosaur let out a little roar.

Suddenly, two more little shapes burst out from the brush. They too were baby Majungasaurus. As they devoured the meat, Chiyo set the portal up as Nigel placed more meat in front of it and prepared his net gun. As soon as the babies finished the first piece of meat, they rushed at the second.

As soon as they reached it, several things happened at once. Chiyo activated the time portal sending the babies through as Nigel ran over and grabbed the leader of the Simosuchus herd, which caused the rest of the herbivorous crocodiles to chase him through the time portal. A loud roar sounded nearby, one that could only belong to a Majungasaurus. A large female, which had a blood red head, short face, blue feathers on her back, and yellow feathers throughout the rest of her body, and arms that made Tyrannosaurus Rex arms seem long, came from behind the Rapetosaurus herd. It was the mother of the young Majungas. A section of the herd ran into the portal. Seeing the light, the female Majunga ran through, perhaps smelling her young on the other side.

"Whew" said Chiyo. "Normally, we don't rescue this many animals at once. But I'm glad we did. Although I think there was one more target species, but it doesn't matter right now. Let's go back and see the animals."

At Suzanne's veterinary clinic, a stowaway had been found in the nasal cavities of the Caribbean monk seals. They are a parasite lost to time: the Caribbean monk seal nasal mite.

Suzanne was curing the last seal. The Hawaiian and Mediterranean monk seals that shared the enclosure with the Caribbean monk seals had not been affected.

The Caribbean monk seal nasal mite was a species that was on the edge of specialization. It was a parasitic species that lived it's entire life in the nasal cavities of Caribbean monk seals. When the seals went extinct, so did they.

Suzanne held a small, empty terrarium full of hundreds of tiny red mites.

"We've been doing this for hours" she explained. "All of the veteran veterinarians came to help me with this. It was a long, slow, and agonizing project, but we've managed to take all of them out. The Caribbean monk seals will fare much better now. However, we have no idea what to do with the mites. They are, after all, an extinct species. Dr. Wu suggested that we take them to his lab. He's currently working on a terrarium that has different chambers and all the nutrients they need. He even asked the construction workers to build a separate building that could be used as a facility that we could use to house and research them. The board will most likely go ahead with his plan, seeing as they are an extinct species. But in the meantime, I need to check up on Indy. Cronus didn't even get injured during the fight, which is unusual, but I'm not complaining. That means less work for me."

As Suzanne decides what to do with the mites and checks up on Indy, Nigel and Chiyo are exploring the new Majunga Basin section of Isla Sorna.

The Rapetosaurus herd was located in a swamp forest with a small lake all to themselves. The trio of Mahajangasuchus were given another lake in a more arid location with the Vintana, which were put in an exhibit just like an average zoo's prairie dog exhibit. The Madtsoia lived in a large reptile house with the Kelyophis. The entrance to Majunga Basin was the Rahonavis aviary that also contained the park's Simosuchus herd. The Majungasaurus family had been placed in an open forest that also held a small stream, small canyon, and a meadow that allowed the dinosaurs to be seen easily. However, two more enclosures were empty.

"We have two more enclosures that still don't have any inhabitants" Nigel said to the camera. "We still have yet to save Beelzebufo, a.k.a. the Devil Frog, and a male Majungasaurus. While we're here in Majunga Basin, let's identify the carnivores that tried to have a bite out of the juvenile Rapetosaurus."

Nigel walked up the rampway to observe a group of five mid-sized theropods. They were strikingly colorful with red feathers crisscrossed with yellow and green stripes across the back and stomach regions. The head was bald and showed a squashed blue face only a mother (or a wildlife adventurer) could love. They had arms that would have made a Tyrannosaurus Rex proud of their own and had teeth designed for cutting through flesh instead of crushing bone.

"These are a species known as Dahalokely. They're a smaller abelisaurid than Majungasaurus, but still fierce hunters. They're all quite colorful. But right now, I need to get back to Cretaceous Madagascar. This time, we're going to the same oasis, only it's during the wet season."

The wet season is a time of plenty. It is when plants bloom, rain falls, and animals breed. But it's not only rain that falls today...

Nigel and Chiyo walked into a forest clearing. Loud croaking came from nearby, resulting the two to check in on the oasis. At the edge of the water, a group of giant, armored frogs were croaking up a storm.

"This is Beelzebufo, an extinct frog that was previously thought to have eaten baby dinosaurs" said Nigel. "They most likely ate the mammals and small snakes here. Speaking of which, Chiyo and I have decided to split up to look for the male Majungasaurus, although she is mostly looking for the last snake species more so to surprise her friend. I have no idea what else she might find. Right now, we've got to get these frogs through."

Nigel at first tried to use a stick to push them through the time portal. The frog that he pushed quickly turned and bit through the rather sizable stick Nigel had been using. It appeared that devil frogs had more bite than bark.

"This could take awhile" Nigel said as Chiyo walked along the edge of the oasis and away from the frogs.

As Nigel tackles Frogzilla, Chiyo has come across yet another denizen that walked Cretaceous Madagascar. Or should I say slithered?

Chiyo was grabbing onto a yellow snake. Three more of it's kind were inside an extremely old Vintana burrow.

"This is the last snake in the ecosystem" said Chiyo, happy but struggling to hold the smooth snake. "This species of snake is known as  Menarana Nosymene.  It has a Spanish relative as well, but I think we'll save that species another time. Let's rescue the last three."

Chiyo reached into her backpack and pulled a pillow case out. Slowly, she put the Menarana in. Once the Menarana was in, she caught the other three one at a time and put them in the sack until she had caught them all.

"I wish I could stay some more, but I need to be going" Chiyo said walking through the time portal. "A team of archaeologists are coming to learn about the Neanderthal culture and religion. Mahak and I are going with them so that they don't end up saying anything that might insult the elders as they teach them their myths and legends. The last time an archaeologist insulted them accidentally, they nearly left him as a sacrifice to the European cave bears."

Back at the oasis, Nigel has finally gotten the Beelzebufo to go through the time portal. Know, he is on the hunt for a male Majunga. Little does he know that he is about to experience a tumble of titans.

Nigel had wandered around the forest for an hour, seeing little more than Rahonavis flocks, the occasional snake or Vintana, and half a dozen Rapetosaurus in a loose herd. When he was finally about to give up, he came across a clearing. And in the center was a sleeping Majungasaurus.

The theropod was smaller than the female, but more colorful. The feathers were in the pattern of a modern male peacock's. Blood were on it's jaws and it was next to a dead subadult Rapetosaurus. The Rapetosaurus may not have been a full-grown one, but it was still a titan.

Nigel watched it for a few more minutes to make sure it was still asleep before placing the time portal in the area he wanted. However, before he could do that, three young Majungasaurus ran into the clearing. He noticed that they had longer foot claws than the adults. They were quiet, but one tripped over the male's tail.

The male woke up and stood up, looming over the juveniles. Then it roared, possibly to frighten them or challenge the nearby parents for dominance. The juveniles darted away, but the male chased after them. Once it reached the first juvenile, it used it's head like a baseball bat and sent the young animal flying into a tree. The juvenile crashed down the branches until it hit the earth with a thud. The young Majungasaurus did not move. Nigel stayed in hiding, wanting to help the young but afraid that the killer would go after him too.

The second juvenile was taken down by the male scooping it up in his jaws while he was running. The baby screeched and struggled, but after the male gave a strong bite the baby stopped struggling, it's back broken.

The male dropped the juvenile and chased after the last one. Just as it was about to snap it up the mother of the young appeared and grabbed the male by the neck! The male struggled free and released its neck from the jaws of the female.

They both turned to each other, the male roaring first, then the female. When neither backed down, they ran at each other and crashed. At first the male had the upper hand. He bite the neck and head of the female several times. Several times, he grabbed her head and smashes it through small trees and shrubs. The female at one point finally collapsed. She made grumbling sound and laid her head down. The male used one of his feet to secure her head. He leaned in for the kill bite before a growl sounded off to Nigel's left.

The juvenile burst out from hiding and jumped onto the lowered head of the adult male. The male tried to shake it off, but the juvenile was using its long foot claws and secure jaw grip on the male's nose to stay latched on. The swinging continued on for almost half a minute until the juvenile lost it's grip and fell to the ground.

The male took immediate advantage of this and grabbed the juvenile in it's jaws. With the juvenile screeching, he ran off. Nigel followed him as best he could. And so did the female Majungasaurus. The male had come to an abrupt stop at the edge of the water, possibly afraid to go in. The female used this to her advantage.

She grabbed him behind the neck and turned him abruptly, knocking him off balance. Nigel saw that he would tumble over and set the time portal in place. After several seconds, he had set it in place perfectly. The male tumbled and, instead of hitting the ground, went through the time portal.

The female roared in victory, but her victory was short lived. The male had dropped the juvenile, but it had dropped it in the water. It was nowhere to be seen. The female lowered her head and called across the oasis, possibly doing a call that would attract the juvenile. As she did this she didn't notice the bubbles coming out from under her until it was too late.

A Mahajangasuchus burst out and grabbed the female's head. She struggled and fought, but the crocodile was using gravity to it's advantage and wouldn't let go of the female's head. Nigel couldn't bare to watch the fight go on and hurriedly left.

Once he was in the clearing, he left to the present.

"I wish I could have saved the mother and the rest of the juveniles, but we would couldn't have too many large carnivores coming through at once" Nigel said to the cameraman. Suddenly, a low moan came from the juvenile that had been thrown in the tree. It was still alive.

"We've gotta bring this one back" said Nigel, dragging the young theropod by it's tail into the time portal. "Looks like we'll be saving one of the juveniles back after all." Nigel traveled through the swirling blue portal and into the holding pens, dragging the little dinosaur into a small holding pen.

"Get Suzanne! We've got an injured dinosaur here!"

Meanwhile at Winston's Steakhouse on Main Street...

Python had once again escaped. The restaurant was just closing and for some reason someone had made a spare steak that wasn't for anyone. It was possible that it was for Phil, who had escaped once more and was reported to have a love for steak after he had stolen some from Jordan.

Python sniffed around the kitchen some more, looking for more food. He succeeded in finding potatoes, onions, and herbs. Suddenly the door swung open. Bowwow came inside and started eating with Python. After every nook and cranny was emptied, they moved onto the steak together.

Once finished, they left the restaurant together. The staff of Winston's Steakhouse we're going to have big headaches. Suddenly, they saw that someone had left the back door to Carnotaurus Candy Factory open by accident. The two little animals bounded inside. They were as happy as kids in a candy shop. Literally.

Meanwhile, the board has approved of Dr Wu's plan and construction of the new building known as the Para-Site has started. While not open to the public, it will still act as a savior to extinct parasitic species. As the construction workers start building it, someone has decided to pay them a visit.

Phil walked around the construction site, knocking workers over, scaring them, and generally having a good time. As soon as Bob got there in his jeep, Phil ran to the back of his jeep to see if there was any food. And sure enough, a big chunk of meat sat there, just waiting to be eaten.

"We're starting to out sedatives inside of our bait for him" Bob said. "It's easier than getting him to chase us back to his enclosure or tranquilizing him. Look at him chug that thing down!"

Phil had just finished eating the meat and now had a dizzy stagger in his walk. After several steps, he fell asleep standing up.

"Hello? Ya, Bob here" Bob said into his radio. "I need an animal moving truck at the Para-Site construction area. Who is this? Oh you two. Which animal got out? Who do you think? I know, I know. Just send a truck down. No, I can't give you a raise. I know, they don't pay me enough for this either. Fine I'll talk to the board to see if you can have a raise. Just send a truck down. Okay. Bye."

Bob sighed and leaned against his jeep.

"Those were my kids" he said. They wanted to have an have a work experience at first, but now they have jobs. Sometimes, they drive me crazy."

As the Para-Site starts construction once more, Phil is moved back to his enclosure, Suzanne operates on the orphaned and male Majungasaurus, and Python and Bowwow have dessert, Nigel inspects Majunga Basin one last time before opening it to public in less than four hours. And he has found some stowaways.

The Rapetosaurus herd was now browsing one the trees. In the herd, six darker colored sauropods were browsing as well.

"We thought that they darker colored ones were the female's of the Rapetosaurus" Nigel said to the camera. "We just know found out that those are actually a different species known as Vahiny. They are a much rarer species than Rapetosaurus, so we scored a bonus. And look at what I found in my backpack."

Nigel unzipped his backpack to reveal a dozen black mammals nibbling on an apple that Nigel had packed.

"Yet another stowaway. These mammals are known as Lavanify. They were small omnivores that were likely the prey of the snake species that Chiyo rescued. Whether they were burrowers or not is something we do not know, but Bob has went ahead and given them a large terrarium with burrows across from the Menarana terrarium. Well, I need to be going. I have to make sure Python doesn't run away and eat everything again."

Just then, Nigel's radio burst into life. Nigel replied and listened. First Nigel's mouth dropped. Then he frowned. When he finally got off, it very clear that he was unhappy. Python had struck again.

As the park settles down after adding parasites and monsters of Majunga Basin to its collection, one more event has popped up. Everyone has rushed into Tyrannosaurus Territory to see the hatching of a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex.

A crowd of both tourists and staff stood at the platforms, eagerly photographing and videotaping the hatching of a baby dinosaur.

A squeak sounded out from the nest. The crowd held their breath as all seven Tyrannosaurus lumbered out of the forest. Cronus ducked down and removed the ferns and plant matter that was used to keep the egg warm. Jane stood nearby, watching the crowd.

A face poked through the eggshell. Soon, a foot poked through then another. Soon, a bird-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex was walking around, following Jane as the other six watched. Cronus turned to the crowd after several seconds of looking through it he roared. All the others joined with him.

The crowd cheered as if it were a circus or killer whale show. Little did they now, an unexpected visitor had turned up. Cronus roared over and over again in deep anger. The reason for that was because the BioSyn man stood under the closest walkway, staring Cronus straight in the eye, almost as if challenging him to take his two missing eggs back.

Next time on Prehistoric Park, Nigel and Chiyo rescue a buck-toothed dinosaur.

But runs into more surprises.

And can a little dinosaur cause big trouble?

here 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 on a safari with a difference, as wildlife as adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into pre-history 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 on Prehistoric Park, Nigel and Chiyo will go back to the Atlas Mountains to save two of the most symbolic creatures of Africa. But will they do it in time to save Nala?

Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

Chapter 5- Nala's Herd

Prehistoric Park has in the past been a place of resurrection, rebirth, and joy. But ever since the injury of Indy, the thievery of two of Cronus and Jane's eggs, and Nala becoming lonely and depressed, the park has had a rather sad mood. Today however, Nigel and Chiyo are rescuing a herd of animals that is sure to cheer everyone up.

In front of Nigel was a map of the Atlas Mountains. Behind him, Python was stealthily climbing on top of the counter to get to Nigel's cookie jar. Two Microraptors had built a nest on Nigel's coffee table and now lived comfortably in Nigel's bungalow with their four eggs.

"Hello everyone" said the wildlife explorer, time traveler, animal rescuer, and past park manager.

"Today, I have a very special mission for Chiyo and us to do. We are going back to the same spot we were when rescuing the Atlas bears, Nala and Tantor, and a Barbary leopard we happened to save, who is still in the park at Holocene Heights, named Spot, only a decade earlier. We plan to rescue a herd of Atlas elephants for Nala in order to save her. But not only that! We also plan to rescue a pack of Barbary lions, a species of lion that is now extinct. Oh, look at the time. I must be going right now."

Nigel got out of his chair, just in time to turn around and see Python and the two Microraptors eat the last cookie together. Nigel just shrugged and started walking away. He knew better than to try and stop Python from eating.

"I've long stopped trying to get Python to stop eating my food. The more you try to stop him, the more he eats. I have to make a stop at the grocery store on Isla Pena every two days know, thanks to him."

Meanwhile at Indominus Prison, the juvenile Indominus is causing trouble for Muldoon. Prehistoric Park's main reason for wanting to rescue the Indominus was it's uniqueness in the Mesozoic world. It was extremely intelligent, bigger than a Tyrannosaurus (size doesn't alway matter though, Cronus still beat Indy), and could turn near invisible. However, those traits can lead to mischief.

Muldoon walked around the male Indominus Rex paddock to relax himself. It may seem like a strange place to try and relax, but the males had been as harmless as a fly….so far. The males of the Indominus Rex species were scavengers instead of hunters, living off of the kills that the females made. That didn't mean that they didn't know how to hunt however.

The males and females may be the same size, but the males were much more tame and had only caused the occasional bit of trouble where the young one would try and escape. The males, Ido and Domino, had been separated from Indy, who had tried to kill them. Now they lived in the second part of Indominus Prison.

Indominus Prison was unique in Prehistoric Park, as it used six story high concrete walls to contain the Indominuses. It was in the shape of a bowl and split into two. The insides of each section had a stream, small lake, and tropical rainforest.

Muldoon stopped at a clearing in the male paddock where the big male was snoring away. Muldoon just had the time to wonder where the little one was before a pale shape the size of a man seemed to appear out of nowhere came out from the bushes next to him and tackled him down.

Muldoon had time to think 'uh oh' before the young male Indominus, Domino, grabbed him by his shirt, lifted him to his feet, then pushed him down with his again. The park had name him Domino because the species name had 'dominus' in it. They also named him that because of his trait to knock staff down, pick them up again, and knock them down again, like a domino, repeating this cycle over and over again.

Muldoon knew better than to try and stand up and run away. This game would go on until Domino simply lost interest or someone new entered the enclosure. This would go on for hours and hours if Domino was in the mood. Muldoon just sighed before Domino knocked him down yet again. Sometimes, Muldoon hated just hated kids.

While Mudoon is stuck in Indominus Prison with Prehistoric Park's most playful predator, Nigel has taken a detour from the Sorna holding pens in order to visit Nala before going to rescue a herd for her.

Nala stood with her back to the tree until Nigel was right behind her. he touched her to try and get her attention, but she kept on looking at the tree. She only reacted when Chiyo, Maria, or Jordan touched her, and even then, she would only stop looking at the tree for a few moments.

"Come on Nala, cheer up. Chiyo and I are going to get some elephant friends for you. And maybe some more animals."

Nigel walked out of the enclosure and passed Tantor, who had recovered significantly since Chiyo had started bonding with him. He even gave Nigel a friendly trumpet to Nigel before spraying him with water. The water felt good during the Costa Rican summer.

Nigel hopped onto the nearest monorail before coming to a stop at Bahariya Formation, the closest area to the holding pens on Sorna. From there on, he walked to the holding pens, occasionally stopping to look into the enclosure: the enclosure with Ramses in it, the enclosure with the Paralititan herd in it, the enclosure with the Carcharodontosaurus, and the enclosure with the mated Spinosaurus pair. Finally, he reaches a large gate that has the bold red words  Staff Only  on it.

Nigel grabbed a key ring that had dozens of keys on it from his pocket and flicked through the keys for several minutes before finding the one he wants. He opened the gate and closed it behind him. Several buildings were in the staff zone and a short walk away were the Sorna holding pens where Chiyo waited for Nigel with a backpack full of gear.

"Are you ready now Nigel?" she asked.

"Yes Chiyo, I'm ready, but we need to find this herd fast. I don't think Nala can wait much longer for us to bring back a herd for her. We can't postpone this mission any longer"

Chiyo nodded in agreement and the two walked with a team that through the time portal.

The Atlas Mountain Range is in Northern Africa, an area that is now devoid of most of it's large wildlife, including elephants, lions, rhinoceros, bears, and even Aurochs. While bears and elephants have already been rescued, more will join them today.

The crew walked onto a plains area on the foot of the mountain range. A river came down from the mountains and onto the plains. Near the base of a mountain was a herd of cows that looked like scaled down, golden Aurochs.

Nigel beamed once his eyes fell upon them. He gave a laugh of happiness once a he saw a herd of wild donkeys walking down the mountain to it's more lush base. An Atlas bear was already at the base, foraging for grubs, berries, and roots.

"We have just come here and we already have seen three extinct species!" Nigel said in obvious happiness. "The cows over there that look like Aurochs are indeed a subspecies of Aurochs. They are the North African Aurochs, the smallest subspecies. The wild donkey species over there is a herd of Atlas Wild Ass, an extinct species of equine. I wish we could rescue them, but Nala is first priority right now."

"Nigel, I can go get them" said Chiyo. "I want to go and rescue them. We can split up and rescue the animals. I'll get the horses and cows, you get the cats and elephants."

Before he could say anything, she started running towards the herds, at least two miles away.

"I'll admit, Chiyo has spirit" said Nigel. "Well, it'll do Nala no good if we just sit here. Let's check along the river. There's bound to be animals there."

While Nigel and Chiyo rescue the animals of the Atlas, Bob must take care of some of the current residents of Prehistoric Park.

"Slow down or he won't catch up" yelled Bob from the back of a truck. It was feeding time for the creatures of Red Beds, the area of Isla Sorna that held a number of animals from the early Permian period. It's residents included Seymouria, two species of Edaphosaurus, Dimetrodon, and the beast they were feeding now: Sphenacodon.

"We usually feed me the Sphenacodon and Dimetrodon in the morning so that they're a bit sluggish. Sometimes they'll have some oomph in them, but for the most part, they're slow in the mornin. What were doing is that we have a large chunk of meat back here and the predators have to chase us like they would for normal prey. Once the predators start biting the truck or grabbing on to it, we throw the meat out and they leave us alone. We have to do this three times a week with these animals."

The Sphenacodon was doing a small jog after the truck several meters away. Bob turned his head away for a moment to yell at the driver. Once he turned his head to the Sphenacodon, it was doing a run faster than the car and almost on top of them.

"DRIVE AWAY!" yelled Bob from behind. He threw the chunk of meat out and the car sped away. The Sphenacodon had stopped for the meat, but there was no guarantee that the beast wouldn't still follow them.

The sped out of the exhibit and stopped to look at the one just in time to see the carnivore joined by others of it's kind.

"Well" said Bob. "Just another day at work."

In the Atlas Mountains, Chiyo has reached her destination. Whether for better or for worse, is another matter.

Chiyo had stopped in front of the herd and set the portal up. She had planned to get behind the herd and play a recorded Tyrannosaurus roar, but the alpha male of the herd had other ideas.

Just as Chiyo had finished setting up the portal, the male bellowed at her. It sounded like a bison. When she didn't move, the male charged at her. Chiyo quickly jumped out of the way and got the portal remote. Once the male charged at her once more, she opened the remote, which caused the male to disappear. Seeing the leader go through, the rest of the herd followed.

Chiyo smiled as she closed the portal, until she saw something ahead. It was a Roman chariot. Inside were men wearing purple capes, a symbol of royalty or wealth in Roman society. They appeared to be looking for something. But that was not what got Chiyo's attention. What got her attention were the recently skinned lion cloaks on the back of the chariot.

In the grass ahead, something moved, which broke her concentration on the chariot. She prepared for a everything from an angry warthog to a spitting cobra. What she didn't prepare for was three baby Barbary lions tumbling through the grass. They were skinny and we're making pitiful mews, possibly calling for their mother. She had likely been killed by the Romans.

"Poor things" Chiyo said. "Their mother most likely got killed by those Romans. People still do this today. Hunting was a popular pastime in Roman culture and wearing a lion skin cloak was a symbol of importance, wealth, and power. They probably ignored these cubs because they were too small, so they left them out here to die. We've gotta save them!"

Chiyo quickly grabbed all three cubs, ignoring the biting and scratching as best she could, and ran back into the twenty-first century to get the Cubs to Suzanne. She ran through the holding pens, hearing the Aurochs mooing away, and got into the closest keep and drove to the veterinary clinic.

She hurriedly explained what had happened to the lions in the Atlas, told Suzanne to nurse them back to health, and rushed back to the holding pens. She was afraid that the Romans would get to the Atlas wild ass and catch or kill them.

She ran back on to the plains and three quarters of the way to the mountain nearly ran into a lion. The lion jumped back and roared, showing it's impressive teeth. Not very big by the standards of the animals back in Prehistoric Park, but still impressive. It was a young male with a rather large mane and golden pelt.

"Don't make any sudden moves" said Chiyo quietly. She was pulling out a portal grenade. "After a certain age, young males are kicked out of their prides and forced to find or start a new one. This one was probably coming to try and take over the pride that was killed. Well, this guy is in for a shocker."

With that, she pulled the cap off the portal grenade and threw it at the snarling lion. In a flash of blue, the big cat disappeared.

"Well, that's what happens in your typical Prehistoric Park rescue mission: you almost get killed."

Meanwhile, as Chiyo deals with big bovines and carnivorous cats, Nigel has found Nala's new herd. Although they'll have to be careful about some of the other natives.

The team had hiked along the river for well over three miles and finally found a herd of Atlas elephants. However, they were across the river, where an Atlas bear was foraging nearby and a pride of lions were watching them.

"We've finally found our targets" said Nigel in happiness. "Nala's new herd is just across the river, along with the Barbary lions. We can hit two birds with one stone if we do this correctly. All we have to do is get across the river now. I usually wouldn't do this, but Nala is on the verge and if we take our time, we might lose her. We've got to go across the river.

The riverways of Africa are filled with dangerous animals. Venomous snakes, crocodiles, hippopotamus, and tiger fish are just a few of the deadly creatures that call these waterways home. The waters of any time period almost make the land seem tame.

The crew managed to successfully get through the water safely and were walking around the elephant herd. However, they hadn't paid attention to the Atlas bear, who was now charging towards them.

"Run" yelled Nigel, as he ran toward the elephant herd, possibly a case of out of the pan and into the fire.

The elephants at first didn't care about them as they ran through the herd. As soon as the Atlas bear got to the herd though, the elephants started waving their heads around, showing their massive ears, trunks, and tusks. The bear stopped and reared back on it's back legs, roaring. However, when the matriarch joined the rest, the bear ran away…. straight towards the lions.

The Barbary lions darted West, into tall golden grass that could easily camouflage them. The crew tried to go after them, but the pride was already a speck in the distance. On another note, the Atlas bear was still outside, waiting for the humans to leave the safety of the herd.

"We can scare the bear away with my flare gun, but then it would also scare the elephants as well" said Nigel. "Wait, you know, I think I'll use that to our advantage."

Carefully not going too far away from the herd, Nigel placed the portal firmly in the ground. Then he got to the near back of the herd and shot a flare gun at the Atlas bear. The sudden flash of red light spooked the herd and scared the bear away and the herd stampeded through the portal.

Through the portal, Nigel heard Bob yelling for someone to open a holding pen and saw Nick eating a bag of chips next to the control panel while watching the elephants stampede by. Nick wasn't exactly a bad employee anymore, though he wasn't exactly perfect. For example, he still messed around and every once in a while made things difficult, but at least he had stopped harassing the animals and staff.

Nigel closed the portal and looked around for the bear. Once satisfied that the bear was gone, the crew started hiking in the direction of the lion pride.

"Well, that sure was exciting" said Nigel. "I was expecting a more aggressive reaction from the herd, but that works too. Although I am disappointed that we lost the lions."

"Should we get a jeep to follow them Nigel?" asked a member of the team called Ben.

"No. We can't risk being seen. We can follow them on foot, but I just hope no one sees us. Or else things could get difficult."

At Prehistoric Park, Nick has been sent to care of a group of teenagers that had somehow gotten themselves into one of the park's newest enclosures: Ostrich Oasis.

"Hey" yelled Nick from a distance away. The teenagers were doing one of the dumbest things that Nick had ever done in his career: trying to feed the animals crisps. The ostriches were poking the heads into the bags, investigating this strange new food source.

One boy looked up and yelled "Keeper!" before trying to run away. The sudden loud noise and movement startled the Arabian ostriches and they started to make a semi-circle around the kids. Nick knew what was coming. He had seen what a Moa had done to Ed Regis.

One ostrich darted forward and kicked a boy in the gut, while the rest pecked the other teenagers with their dull, but hard beaks. The teens tried in vain to run away, but they seemed to forget that they were ostriches, one of the fastest land animals on Earth.

When he saw the birds chasing the teens, Nick pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the leader of the group, who had just kicked the boy and was now chasing the others. He remembered Jordan say something about hitting a bird and getting a prize. Nick hoped that he would get a prize for this.

He shot the tranquilizer and the leader suddenly pitched forward and collapsed. The rest of the group stopped and surrounded the leader in a loose circle. Once Nick tucked his gun away and turned to the teens, they were gone. Nick sighed. They didn't pay him enough for this. He hoped his prize would be a raise.

Chiyo has finally reached the mountain and thought of a plan to catch the wild ass along the way. It was the same way that they had saved multiple herbivores in the past and among the simplest.

Chiyo stood in front of the swirling portal, holding a branch in front of the leader of the herd. They were grey with a few faint white stripes here and there. The manes were black and so were their tails. Wild asses and donkeys of today are temperamental and it seemed that extinct ones were no different.

The leader reared up on his back legs and kicked his hooves in the air aggressively. Chiyo managed to to get him to chase her through the portal, which resulted in the rest of the herd chasing her as well.

She ran through the holding pens, the equines now uncertain whether or not to chase her anymore, now that she had brought them to an unfamiliar environment.

"Someone get these guys in a holding pen" she called to a woman next to the holding pen control panel.

Just then, Bob walked in and observed what had been brought back. Chiyo heard elephants trumpeting, which meant Nigel had already saved Nala's herd.

"Well done, Chiyo" Bob called from above. Today, I only have to deal with cows, donkeys, and elephants. Oh, and the lions." Just then, the portal flared to life. What was Nigel bringing back this time?

Meanwhile in Africa, Nigel and the team have caught up to their lions. But they have come across more surprises.

The lions napped in the shade of an acacia tree, with one or two sleepily watching a crash of rhinos in front of the crew.

"It appears that we've found a herd of black rhinoceros, Nigel." said Ben. "But I don't recognize the subspecies. Are they an extinct one, Nigel?"

"Yes. They indeed are an extinct subspecies. This is a crash of the extinct North-Eastern Black Rhinoceros. They use to live in Northern parts of Africa, all the way to Ethiopia. They'll eventually be hunted to extinction, making them a prime candidate for Prehistoric Park residency. All we need is a plan. Wait a minute, what are those?"

A herd of antelope was walking by the rhinos. Each was the size of a small horse and had a red coat. The horns were splayed and they seemed to have no fear of the humans, some even walking feet away from them.

"Yet another extinct species. These are Bubal hartebeest, an extinct hartebeest subspecies. Scientists believe that they were domesticated by the Egyptians or at least used as a sacrificial animal, since so many of their bones have been found near the ancient Egyptian cities and towns. I believe that we'll be able to rescue all three species at the same time. Wait, what is that?"

A Roman chariot was barreling toward the rhinos and antelope at an astonishing rate. A man was at the front, yelling and waving a sword. The antelope saw the man approaching and started a stampede, startling the rhinos as well. The antelope and rhinos ran away towards the river together. Nigel saw this as an opportunity.

Nigel quickly ran in front of the herd and set up the portal and activated it, sending both the rhinoceros and antelope to go into the future and to safety of the holding pens. The Roman stopped the chariot and turned around to run away, yelling something.

"Whew. Glad that's over" said Nigel. Now, back to the lio... run through the portal!"

The crew ran through the portal with the lion pride on their tails. The flash of the portal had attracted them into investigate the team. Now it seemed that they were hungry. The pride ran after the crew, eager for a bite of them.

As soon as the lions are taken care of Bob, Nigel, and Chiyo all head to the Nala's enclosure on Holocene Heights, with several trucks behind them carrying the new animals.

Bob gave the signal and the first two trucks entered the enclosure, depositing the herd of North African Aurochs. The herd burst through the doors and instantly started grazing once settled. Nala perked up seeing the bovines come into her enclosure, but still stood where she was before.

Bob signaled for the next three trucks to come in and deposit their cargo. The first of the three opened, with a crash of rhinos charging out. Nala this time left here spot and started walking slowly towards the animals.

"It's working" said Chiyo excitedly. "Release the hartebeest, Bob."

Bob gave another hand signal and the two other trucks opened, giving the Bubal hartebeest access to the enclosure. They immediately ran out and disappeared over the crest of a hill. Only five trucks remained now.

Bob signaled and a new truck came in and released the Atlas wild ass herd. Instead of rushing out like all the other animals, they walked out in a more orderly fashion, like they didn't have a care in the world. Nala started trumpeting in happiness as the Tunisian plain exhibit became filled with herbivores from her former habitat.

Finally, Bob signaled for four new trucks to come in. An elephant trumpet came from inside and Nala froze. She trumpeted at the truck and got a trumpet in return. The trucks opened and the elephants walked out, slowly at first, but becoming more comfortable as they got out.

Nala slowly walked toward the matriarch of the herd with her trunk raised. The matriarch saw her and raised her trunk in reply.

"This is good" said Chiyo. "The matriarch is accepting her. The rest of the herd should accept her if the matriarch does."

The elephants started walking away, Nala with them, over the hill where the hartebeest had disappeared over. Nala looked back once at the spot where she had stood for so long. Then she continued to follow the elephant herd.

Meanwhile at the grocery store on Isla Pena...

Python had somehow gotten through the security and to the monorail with the two Microraptors and we're looking down the desserts aisle. Python immediately set upon the chocolate cookies with the two feathered creatures and tucked in. It was time for dinner. Or should I say dessert.

The staff of Prehistoric Park were all going to have a big headache. After the Barbary lion pride, the young adult male (who was named Scar), and the three cubs (named Simba, Cynder, and Cider) have all been placed in their respective enclosures.

Simba, Cynder, and Cider were all inside a small yard that had been built for them. A golden retriever named Goldilocks had been selected as their surrogate mother. All four now were napping under the shade of a tree to escape the Costa Rican heat.

Scar had been given a small, off exhibit area where he could live in peace. Eventually, he would start to become more aggressive and a pack of females would need to be rescued for him. But for now, he stalked the grasses, looking for prey that wasn't there.

The pack was resting in a savanna area just across from the Tunisian Herbivore Plains exhibit. The pride consisted of a male and five females. The male had been named Barnaby, while the females were Bailey, Basha, Britney, Britain, and Bobo. The entire pack was on a tall limestone rock, looking at the herbivores in the area over, some even licking their mouths.

For now, Prehistoric Park was happy once more. Nala had started eating once more, more animals had been rescued, and Python was eating even more than Nala. But one resident was still not happy...

Cronus stood over the nest, looking after his last remaining egg. It was almost time for it to hatch. Cronus roared at the night sky, an angry sound that made the other Tyrannosaur roars quiet in comparison.

Next time on Prehistoric Park, the crew go to Cretaceous Madagascar to rescue cannibals, fish hunters, giant frogs, and feathered dinosaurs.

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 on a safari with a difference as wildlife adventurer Nigel Marvin 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, Nigel and Chiyo save the largest hippo ever to exist and the first mammoth species ever to exist, but not without bring back a few surprises.

Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

Chapter 6- Beasts of Africa

Today, Prehistoric Park is preparing for one of the most dangerous land mammals ever to live to arrive at Prehistoric Park: a giant hippopotamus. As funny as it may sound, hippos kill more people than any other African animal ever year. The park will have to be careful with getting a giant one. But first, he has gone back in time to start a small revival.

Nigel stood in a cave with water up to his knees. Chiyo stood next to him, holding a bucket full of water and water beetles. Nigel saw a little black dot out of the corner of his eye and he quickly swept his net through the water. He triumphantly displayed another water beetle to the camera before putting the little insect into the bucket.

After several more minutes of catching water beetles, they went back through the portal and into the present. In the holding pens, a long white table had been laid out. The beetles were placed in an aquarium filled with water that said PERRIN'S CAVE BEETLE.

A dozen other tanks had animals in them including Xerces Blue Butterflies, Houting (an extinct fish), Ivell's Sea Anemone, Ratas Island Lizards, Lava Mice, and others (listed at the end of this chapter).

"As you can see, Chiyo and I decided to collect some smaller, lesser known extinct animals" Nigel said to the cameraman. "Today, Chiyo and I are going to capture the largest hippopotamus ever to live, Hippopotamus Gorgops. Not only are we going to catch these beasts we're also catching the one of the first mammoths to ever live, the African Mammoth."

i Nigel quickly pulled a picture of a hippopotamus that towered over another, modern one.

"These creatures lived at the same time of Australopithecus" Chiyo said. "They started to go extinct from climate change at the end of the Pliocene, right around when hominids started to evolve more and the brush fires became more frequent. With the hominids and predators picking off the young, habitat being burnt, and vegetation being destroyed, these African monsters became doomed for extinction."

Bob came walking over to the two with several other people, who started carrying the small animal tanks back towards Peace Park.

"So, you're off to find your hippos then?" Bob asked.

"Yes, but do forgive us if we bring back a few more animals" Nigel said cheerily. "Several big cats, extinct antelope, and hominids shared the environment with them. We've had John activated the portal take us right next to a river, where a lot of animals will congregate."

The blue portal flickered to life and the Nigel and Chiyo got into their jeep. Nigel flicked the ignition to life and drove through the portal.

As Nigel and Chiyo explore Miocene Africa, Jordan and Maria are cleaning up after a very temperamental dinosaur: Papa Pawpaw. Papa Pawpaw was brought back from Cretaceous Texas with a mixed herd of herbivores, a family of ravenous Deinonychus, and a pack of Acrocanthosaurus.

Maria and Jordan shoveled the dung as quickly as possible into the back of the truck. A distance away, the Pawpawsaurus and Tenontosaurus herd could be seen traveling together, with Papa Pawpaw at the front. Several minutes later, the herd stopped to graze on the ferns making the two humans go even faster so the nodosaur didn't notice them.

"We're gonna die" Maria mumbled as Papa Pawpaw grazed closer towards them. Nodosaurs and ankylosaurs only had a keen sense of smell with poor eyesight.

"Relax a bit" Jordan whispered. They had almost filled up the truck. "The wind is blowing towards us. He's not going to smell us."

As Jordan finish his sentence, a strong gust of wind blew toward Papa Pawpaw, alerting him to their presence. Maria paled and Jordan swore under his breath. The dinosaur snorted, irritated, before bellowing and charging at the truck. The two humans ran to the front and started the engine before speeding off.

"You just had push things, didn't you?" Maria said to Jordan as he drove away.

"Hey, how was I supposed to know that would happen?" Jordan said in his defense. "I don't even know what happened back there."

"I know what happened. You jinxed it. Never say you feel safe in Prehistoric Park."

The two stayed silent after that until they reached the gate before quickly closing it. In the distance, Papa Pawpaw could be heard bellowing in victory. He ran around in a little circle before slamming his tail into the ground in triumph.

"I hate that guy" Jordan said as Papa Pawpaw trotted back to his herd.

In Miocene Africa, Nigel and Chiyo have come across a small river that the river flows into. Lakes are a hotspot for both predators and prey alike. If they are going to find their targets, it's here.

Nigel and Chiyo walked on the lake shore, inspecting it, when a hyena laugh came from a nearby bush. The two pulled out portal grenades as a small pack of hyenas came out of the underbrush. They had yellow coats with stripes running down them, most likely to blend in with the grass. The pack attacked and the two humans threw their portal grenades, sending the carnivores back to the present.

"Those were Ictitherium" Chiyo said to the camera. "They were hunters of the medium-sized game in this area and most likely ate the zebra and antelope native here. They would have competed with the wild dogs, big cats, and other hyenas of the area for the kills and carrion."

A large rumble came from over the hill. Carefully, Nigel and Chiyo hiked over, hidden in the bushes (they had to be careful though, they could be bitten by a venomous snake). After several minutes of crawling through bushes and getting around a cobra, they got over the hill and saw a herd of hairless mammoths with spirally twisting tusks. The females grazed on the edges with the calves and four males walked around on the outside, looking for a female to mate with.

"These are a different species of mammoth " Nigel said excitedly. "Their scientific name is Mammuthus Subplanifrons. They were the ancestors of the African mammoth and were thought to have gone extinct by now. It appears that the males live with the females, unlike other mammoths and elephants. The end of the Miocene will almost certainly destroy the last remnants of this magnificent species, so I think they're safe to save. What about you Chiyo?"

Nigel turned to see Chiyo wasn't their. She was instead high in a tree, looking at something in the brush near Nigel. She motioned for him to stay quiet and Nigel held still. After several seconds, a low growl came from Nigel's left. Nigel slowly turned his head to see a saber-toothed cat stalking towards to the herd, just feet away from him. Another two followed behind it.

Nigel looked up at Chiyo when she gave a little shake of a branch. The cats ignored it, but Nigel looked up. It turned out Chiyo wasn't alone. A group of red Australopithecus-like apes stayed silent in the trees with her. Chiyo turned her own mini cam on and spoke into it.

"I'm in a tree with a troop of an extinct ape species called Ardipithecus Ramidus. They're relatives of Australopithecus, but smaller. They could also stand upright and walk upright like an Australopithecus as well. They most likely went extinct because of competition with Australopithecus and the newly evolved hominids."

She looked at the cats before continuing. "The saber-tooths below me are Machairodus Africanus. There were many different species of Machairodus, but I'm convinced that the species down there are Africanus. They appear to hunt in packs like the Smilodon back at the park."

The cats were a golden with black stripes and a little red bit of fur on their heads. The teeth were two feet long and were thicker than a Smilodon's.

"If we do this correctly and quickly, then maybe we can get two birds with one stone" Nigel said. "Maybe we can even rescue the Ardipithecus as well."

A little hoot came from the mammoth herd and Nigel and Chiyo look over. A baby Ardipithecus pair was on top of a rock in the middle of the herd. If a stampede happened, the mammoths could accidentally hit the babies of with their trunks and trample them.

Nigel quickly ran out of his hiding place quickly, startling the saber-tooths into roaring the high alerted the herd. The mammoths started to form a circle, but before they finished Nigel ran in and grabbed the two baby apes. The strange two legged creature running in and out of the herd angered the matriarch, who charged Nigel. Nigel quickly set up and activated the portal, which sent the matriarch through into the holding pens.

The rest of the mammoths followed through. The females to protect the matriarch, the babies to follow their mothers, and the males to follow the females. Nigel ran through the portal briefly with the baby apes as the three Machairodus and the rest of their pack emerged from the undergrowth. They chased after Nigel through the portal, where they cornered him in a holding pen until the holding pen keepers tranquilized the pack.

Nigel quickly ran through the portal with the young in his hands and jogged to the tree Chiyo was in. She climbed down with a female Ardipithecus, who Nigel assumed to be the mother. Nigel handed the two to her and the rest of the troop climbed down. The alpha male extended his palm towards Chiyo, who stroked it. The troop immediately climbed all over her as she tried to set up the portal to send them through.

The alpha male then walked over to Nigel and extended the palm to him, which he stroked as well. The two young Ardipithecus that Nigel had saved earlier immediately ran up to him and jumped on to his shoulders and hung on like two furry backpacks. Nigel laughed and the portal activated. The troop immediately ran up to investigate as Nigel walked through. Chiyo grabbed the hand of the troop leader and led him through, with the rest of the troop following.

As Nigel and Chiyo must help Bob get the troop situated with their new home, Henry Wu is working with the hybrid project. Or as Hoskins liked to call it the "New Blood" project. Whatever it was called, Wu was annoyed he was being blackmailed into playing God.

Wu finally had fertilized embryos. It had taken three days to find DNA that would merge (he hadn't slept during that time), even though they were mostly of unrelated species. It had taken another two days to make and incubate the embryos and another day to try and fertilize them.

Wu was surprised by how many of the eggs had been fertilized. He had created twenty eggs and expected only one or two, or perhaps none, to be fertilized. However, twelve had been fertilized. It just went to show how much more advanced Prehistoric Park's technology was than regular technology of the rest of the world. Wu looked at the biological blueprints of the creatures they would become.

On a computer monitor, it showed three different creatures and had little bulletins of expected traits and random "to be expected" notes. Wu had created these creatures with a special trait that would make it impossible for them to leave the island chain. They were Lysine defendant.

Wu had created the creatures so that they would need to be supplied lysine pills in their food to survive. John Hammond had wanted this idea for his dinosaurs when he had tried to create Jurassic Park, but the idea never got put into action since he was never able to create the dinosaurs.

On one part of the screen showed Wu's favorite hybrid combination (even though it was his favorite creature, he still didn't want to create it). It showed a dinosaur with the front and head of a Triceratops Horridus and the back of a Stegosaurus Armatus. It said below the creature Stegoceratops Stenops. Wu had gotten six fertilized eggs from them. To the left of it were bulletins that said:

Expected to live in forests with lysine rich plants Expected to live forty years Tempermental? Can fertilize their own eggs if males aren't around

Wu felt slightly guilty about the last part. He knew the that it could potentially lead to problems, but it was the way Hoskins had ordered him to create them. And Wu had to do what he wanted because the slimy little eel had blueprints to the teleportation portal.

The next monitor showed a large monitor-like lizard as long as a man is tall. Wu had combined the DNA of modern monitor lizards, Megalania, and Asprosaurus. The name above was Varanus Morten. In Latin, it literally meant the death monitor. That was what Wu referred to them as. He had gotten three fertilized death monitor eggs. Over the death monitor, bulletins said:

Can turn nearly invisible like Indominus Rex, can hide from thermal Expected to like chicken (a lysine rich meat) Two rows of teeth, can climb tree, and have powerful legs. Long jumping range? Expected to be venomous Expected to be intelligent, Can reproduce asexually, only one egg though, two females infertile, last fertile

Wu was guilty about the last part of that too. He didn't want a pack of death monitors roaming in their enclosure (Wu had told Bob to build three special enclosures for the hybrids, he hadn't told Bob what for though). But Wu also didn't want to make a species and condemn it to extinction. Wu sighed as he looked at the last creature. It was a dromaeosaurid that was larger than Dromaeosaurus, but smaller than Utahraptor. It had no feathers and had a row of porcupine-like quills that went from along it's neck to the back of it's tail. To the right of it was the name Dinoraptor Rex. It literally meant terrible thief king.

Wu frowned. Rex was getting overrated. Everyone did Rex, but never Regina. There was Tyrannosaurus, Thanatosaurus, and Indominus rexes now. One day, he was going to have a talk to the people who had named the Thanatosaurus and Indominuses. But not before skinning Hoskins and giving him to the Megalodon.

Wu looked back to the monitor and the expected traits of Dinoraptor.

Strong and smart

Can possibly swim, Will probably build dens, Have quills for self-defense

Wu yawned. He looked at the clock. He had woken up at four in the morning. It was now five in the afternoon. One more hour and it would be quitting time. Wu sighed. If only it was legal that Wu could push Hoskins into Lamia's tank.

Meanwhile, at the holding pens of Muerta, Nigel and Chiyo have finally finished putting the new animals into their enclosures. Now they are ready to bring back the hippo on steroids.

Nigel and Chiyo walked through the portal and back on to the lakeside. Nigel and Chiyo hiked for several minute before passing an empty crocodile nest. The eggs had been recently destroyed and a male crocodile could be seen in the water. It looked like a modern Nile crocodile, except for the fact that it was twenty-six feet long.

"This is most likely the nest of the a nearby female crocodile" Chiyo said to the camera. "The species here in front of me is  Crocodylus   Thorbjarnarsoni . They were just like modern crocodiles, waiting at the water's edge for prey to come down. However, these guys are big enough to drag down even mammoths!"

"Chiyo, look down there" Nigel said pointing ahead. A female crocodile lay there with a wound on her shoulder. She was the mother of the nest.

"You get the male, I get the female" Chiyo whispered to Nigel.

Nigel nodded and looked around the reeds for several minutes before finding a large branch. Nigel went back in time to see the female crocodile go through the portal.

Nigel walk to the water's edge and slapped the branch onto the surface. The male ducked under the surface and a dark black shape could be seen swimming towards Nigel.

"Everyone get back" Nigel said before the giant crocodilian burst out of the water.

Nigel jumped back and the crocodile snapped at the spot he had been mere moments ago. Nigel pulled a portal grenade out of his pocket and chucked it at the colossal reptile before it got the chance to go back underwater. The great reptilian beast disappeared in a flash of blue light that sent it into the future.

"Well, that was fun" Nigel said to the camera.

"Nigel, look!" Chiyo said, pointing down the river banks.

A herd of female mammoths and their calves was drinking out of the lake. They had thin, grey fur and almost grey tusks. A herd of males followed them with a troop of brown apes with white heads. The male apes looked like they were old men that had black mustaches. The apes stayed a small distance away from the mammoths, possibly to avoid angering or being trampled by them.

"These are the African mammoths we've been looking for" Chiyo said proudly. "Their scientific name is  Mammuthus   Africanavus . The apes following them are most likely  Paranthropus   Robustus, another australopithecine. The African mammoths are being followed by a herd of males looking for mates. Paranthropus were almost entirely herbivorous, but would have occasionally ate insects and perhaps small reptiles. This would be a great opportunity to add a third australopithecine ape species to the list of animals we've rescued."

Nigel nodded in agreement. The two cautiously walked towards the troop. It wasn't the apes they were afraid of. Elephants are one of Africa's most temperamental animals, so mammoths shouldn't be any different with both groups being closely related to each other. It turned out they were right.

Once they got within several meters of the troop and herd, the matriarch looked up and trumpeted in anger. She charged at the two humans who ran away. After less than ten feet, the mammoth stopped. She turned back towards the herd and started grazing once more.

"Chiyo, set the portal up so that we can send the matriarch back" Nigel said. "If we can send the matriarch back, the rest of the herd will follow. After that, we'll follow the troop for a while to see if they lead us to a herd of Hippopotamus Gorgops."

Chiyo set the portal device into the sand as firmly as she could while Nigel got the attention of the matriarch. The matriarch this time disinterested in him, continuing to graze in peace.

"I don't know why she's not attacking this time" Nigel said. He turned around to check on Chiyo's progress before turning back to the herd. The matriarch was almost on top of him. She had been waiting for Nigel to let his guard down.

"CHIYO ACTIVATE THE PORTAL OH MY GOD I AM ABOUT TO BE TRAMPLED BY A MAMMOTH I DON'T WANT TO DIE LEAVE ME ALONE MAMMOTH BLIMEY BACTROSAURUS CHIYO HELP!"

Nigel ran across while the portal wasn't opened. This time, the mammoth was determined to get Nigel, possibly to eliminate what she thought was a potential threat to the herd. As soon as the matriarch of the herd came within feet of the portal, Chiyo pressed the remote to activate it. The mammoth charged through the portal, unable to stop her run in time. The rest of the herd rushed through to her defense and, after a minute or so, Nigel and Chiyo closed the portal.

"Aren't you glad you have me in these situations?" Chiyo joked.

At Prehistoric Park, Suzanne is looking at some of the newer species of the park to study their mating behaviors. Most of the animals make a special noise or dance to woo a female. Some fight, while others display their feathers. Some even bring offerings of food. However, one of the park's oldest new residents has a very different way of attracting mates.

Suzanne watched one of the two Acrocanthosaurus males in his nest from the high hide. It wasn't a true nest actually, but more like a hoard of meat and junk.

The males had been eating half their food, while the other half they dragged away. This male had been starving himself for the past three days to drag food back here. Nobody knew what it was until Suzanne had came.

The nest has large to say the least. It was lined with stones that they males rolled up from the riverbed and seashore (it turned out they liked to occasionally swim, they even would catch small sharks). They then arranged the stones into a circular shape in a place they thought was safe. After that was done, the hoarding began.

The males picked up any objects they thought would grab a female's attention. This one was quite the collector with a collection comprising of an old tire, a rake, five shoes, a sweater, a bucket, several pieces of Quartz, and the all time carnivore favorite: dozens of pieces of rotting meat.

"This one Acrocanthosaurus has been aggressive more so than any other one" Suzanne said to the camera. "He appears to have been the dominant one in the pack. Acrocanthosaurus will form very loose packs. They don't even sleep together. They all have their own dens, they don't eat together, they refuse to be given food at the same time. It appeared they only came together to defend their territory, invaded other territories, or hunt sauropods."

Suzanne scooched a bit in the hide, accidentally dropping her clipboard in the process. The relatively loud sound startled the Acrocanthosaurus, who looked towards the direction of the hide. He knew he was being watched. The theropod roared, giving Suzanne the cue that it was time for her to leave.

"Gotta go" she said, getting out of the hide as quickly as possible.

In Africa, Nigel and Chiyo have followed the australopithecine apes for several hours along the lakeside, looking for the hippo on steroids. Fortunately or unfortunately, they've found them.

It was almost night time when they found the hippos. The Paranthropus stopped briefly at the lakeside to drink when a loud snort came from behind. A massive hippo was grazing behind them. It was just barely an adult. Instead of the purplish skin of modern hippopotamus, this one was black. Blacker than the night sky.

"This is what we've been searching for" Nigel said excitedly to the cameraman. "This is a male Hippopotamus Gorgops. He's not the biggest of his species, but you can't deny that he's a beautiful creature."

Just then, the hippo's stomach rumbled and it let out a noxious fart. The apes climbed the trees to escape the horrid smell, but the humans were too late. Nigel clutched his throat and gagged at the horrible stench, while Chiyo started climbing the tree with the apes in vain to escape it. The cameraman dropped the camera and ran away into the bush.

After several minutes, the gas dispersed. The apes climbed back down with Chiyo before running off, Nigel got the smell out of his nose, and the cameraman came back. The hippo continued to graze in peace, seemingly oblivious to how bad it's fart smelled.

"Well, that most certainly would deter a predator" Nigel laughed. "No wonder modern hippos have almost no predators. He may be beautiful, but his gas sure packs a punch."

The hippo finally looked up at the humans before he continued to graze again. It appeared he didn't care too much about these newcomers. He was following a large game trail that was too small for elephants and mammoths, but too big for antelope, ostriches, and zebras. It was the perfect size for a giant hippo though.

Nigel smiled. Game trails were never made by just one animal. Where there was one hippo, there was a herd.

"This one may be a scout for the rest of the herd, so if we can somehow get him to call the herd up to us, then we may be able to get the rest to come here" Nigel said.

Chiyo was about to respond, but a mammoth trumpet cut her off. Chiyo turned around to see the undergrowth and trees shaking, like something big was charging. Chiyo just managed to dive out of the way as a male African mammoth charged out and bellowed a challenge at the hippo. It appeared that mammoths and hippos didn't always agree on territory boundaries.

The hippo turned around and bellowed a threat at the mammoth. The elephant-like creature flinched at the giant herbivore threatening it back, but it was too late to run away now. It appeared mammoths were all bark and little to no bite. The mammoth charged and the hippo stayed it's ground. Several yards away from the hippo, another giant hippopotamus charged out of the underbrush and rammed into the mammoth's ribs.

The mammoth fell onto it's side from the sudden impact and bellowed in pain. The new hippo bite into the leg of the fallen beast, using it's giant tusks to injure the great creature even further. After what seemed like hours, the hippo let go of the bloodied leg.

The mammoth trumpeted in pain and struggled to get up, before collapsing once more. The two hippos regarded the injured animal for a moment before they lumbered off, possibly to find the rest of the herd.

Nigel and Chiyo stared at the mammoth, injured and unable to get up. The hippo had possibly broken it's leg, leaving it unable to survive in the wild.

"I want try to take him back" said Nigel. "But then the hippos might come back and attack it even further if we try to get him up now. They're always more activate on land at night. We'll set up camp here for the night, protecting it. Then we'll wait until morning, when the hippos are back at the lake before we send it back. This reminds me of when we rescued Ellie and Martha. Defending them into the night time from predators, one of them gravely injured."

Later on that night, the group is awaken by the sound of predators. Miocene Africa is full of them, with big cats, giant crocodiles, extinct hyenas, and some of the lesser known predators of Africa.

"No! Leave him alone! Leave him alone!" Nigel yelled while waving his torch. The great fangs of giant baboons the size of men were made seen in the firelight.

One baboon leaped at Nigel, who hit it with the torch, sending the primate running away and shrieking in pain. Another tried to come from behind the vulnerable back of the mammoth, who trumpeted in fear. However, Chiyo came out of the tent with her tranquilizer pistol. She shot one dart into the neck of the baboon, who collapsed on the spot.

The mammoth was trying to fight too. Whenever, a baboon made the mistake of getting to close to his back legs, he kicked them. One baboon was hit by the legs and crashed into a tree trunk before slumping into the ground. His back had been broken.

Another baboon got too close to the trunk. The mammoth had no hesitation wrapping it around the neck of the bloodthirsty primate before slamming it's head into the ground. The primate shrieked, it's shrieks getting more cracked whenever it's head was smashed until it was silent. The primate was dead.

"These are a dangerous species" Chiyo said, reloading her gun. "These are Dinopithecus Ingens (no, they were not discovered by InGen). They were the largest baboon ever to live and, like the baboons of today, they were omnivores, feeding on both whatever they could find and forage and whatever they could kill and scavenge. These ones are just a part of a small group. A scary thought, considering modern baboons live in groups that number up into the hundreds or thousands!"

A Dinopithecus jumped at Nigel from behind, but the mammoth caught its leg in midair and threw it into a tree. It seemed that it was trying to protect the humans protecting him. Nigel hit another baboon with a torch, sending it squealing into the brush, but there was still at least a hundred more Dinopithecus.

Nigel set up the time portal while fending them off with his torch, using it as a distraction to the baboons. The time portal burst into life and the crew could hear the staff running into their positions in the holding pen. The troop immediately stopped attacking and investigated the strange new source of blue light. Nigel used this as an opportunity to bring his flare gun out.

Nigel shot his flare gun, scaring a large chunk of the troop through the portal, while the rest of the troop ran into the forest. Nigel smiled when they were all gone. He looked behind him to see Chiyo dragging injured and tranquilized baboons through the portal.

"Are you going to just stand there or are you going to help me?" Chiyo asked playfully. Nigel just laughed.

"We almost got torn apart by baboons on steroids, Chiyo. Can't a guy have a rest after getting chased by sabertooths, fighting baboons, and rescuing croc-zilla?"

"Not if you want to rescue extinct animals" Chiyo replied back while dragging the baboon with a broken back through the portal. The staff of Prehistoric Park were rushing the injured baboons over to the Muerta veterinary clinics. This one would have to be the first one there though.

In the morning at Prehistoric Park...

A tired Bob sat on the overhead walkway with a mug of coffee, watching the baboons below. The African mammoths had already been put together with the Subplanifrons mammoths. The mammoths lived in a plains exhibit with a small lake and forest. Tall savanna grass grew past the height of a man and one could get lost in the maze of grass.

The Ardipithecus had been given an enclosure with a shallow lake that they could wade in, a forest full of berries, figs, and termite mounds (artificial with pre-killed termites so that live ones didn't cause problems).

The giant crocodiles had been given a large lake to themselves with a bridge going over it. Several miles of river also made up the giant exhibit. Pond reeds dominated the shore and the exhibit had a nesting colony of egrets in the trees to provide some activity for guests who couldn't find the crocodiles.

The Ictitherium clan were given an enclosure South of the Machairodus pack enclosure. The enclosure comprised of several caves and watering holes on an open savanna. They shared the enclosure with jackals and vultures, which were trained to stay within the exhibit.

The Machairodus lived on a open, but forested savanna. They had already picked a hollow as their den and had showed a surprising cat trait. The Machairodus would dig large holes under large trees. Once they finished, they grabbed the largest leaves they could find and took them into the nests to use as bedding to make it softer.

Anyways, back to the baboons.

The entire baboon troop was screeching up a storm. Most of the injured ones had been taken care of and returned to the troop, but several had needed to stay in the clinic for a while longer.

"As you can see, Nigel decided to bring back some more primates" Bob said gesturing to the troop. "He really needs to stop monkeying around and just bring back his targets. He says he's going to bring back Coelophysis and he brings back three giant carnivores, a group of tiny crocodiles, and flying lizards. He says he's going to bring back some hippos and he brings back African sabertooths, giant crocodiles, and these buggers."

The alpha male barked and the troop suddenly got into a frenzy. That was because it was feeding time. The troop made a circle around where they wanted a genetically modified cow carcass to be dropped by a crane.

The cow dropped and the monkeys swarmed it. Once finished, they moved onto the dozens of watermelons, pumpkins, and cantaloupes left out for them. They appeared to dislike the pumpkin.

One monkey threw a piece of pumpkin at Bob. It splattered right next to him.

"Don't you give me any of that" Bob growled. The monkey this time hit him square in the face with a piece of watermelon. The baboon turned around and started playing with the rest of its troop in some form of tag. They were monkeying around.

In the morning at Miocene Africa...

Nigel sat next to the African mammoth. The mammoth had recovered enough that he could walk if he tried, but not for very long. Four dead baboons littered the campsite. The crew had packed as quickly as they could. It would not be long before carnivores came for the dead primates.

"We've made it" said a tired looking Nigel to the camera. "He's going to live. We've gone ahead and named him Alfred the African mammoth. We've been letting him rest for several hours to regain his strength, but he needs to get through the portal. It now or never."

Nigel gently grabbed Alfred's trunk and pulled up, trying to get the injured beast to stand up. Slowly and reluctantly, Alfred got up. Continuing to guide him, Nigel pulled him towards the portal gently. On the other side, an animal moving quickly truck waited to take him to the veterinary clinic.

Alfred continued to walk with Nigel into the holding pens, where he started to buckle. Luckily, he made it to the vehicle in time before he collapsed. Alfred collapsed inside of it, the metal creaking and groaning under his weight.

"Hey Nigel" Bob said, climbing down a ladder from the walkway. "That most certainly doesn't look like a hippo. Nigel, next time just bring your target back."

"No promises" Nigel laughed. "Anyways, we should be able to get the hippos back now. We've already gotten the Ammonite. All we need to do now is find the river and we'll have our hippos."

"Well, you oughta get going then" Bob said. "I need to move the baboons to their new home and they are not going to be happy about that."

Meanwhile at the Para-Site...

Nick had the unfortunate job of going through the tanks to feed the parasites. It wasn't an altogether difficult or dangerous process to feed them. It of the smell of the parasite's food that made it an undesirable job. Prehistoric parasites had been destroyed before the Para-Site had been created. Now, they were brought here instead of being killed.

"I hate this" Nick said as he poured a foul smelling green liquid into a chute. The chute led into a tunnel system that would distribute the liquid evenly throughout the tank. This particular tank was enormous, being the size of a sauropod's belly to house the Gastric Sauropod Worm (think of Primeval's dodo worm, but smaller, not aggressive, and unable to spread through bites or survive outside the body of it's host).

"Most of the tanks have a special type of genetically modified bacterium that is the food of most of the parasites and grow back, but is harmless to humans" Nick said to the cameraman. "However, certain species need other forms of nourishment, like artificial stomach fluids, blood, or other things that I'm not going to go into. In fact, you might want to turn your camera off for this feeding. These are Mongolian Theropod Tonsil Worms. Their eggs are spread through bites, but only through within theropods. They were supposedly brought back with the Velociraptors."

The camera went black, but you could hear the cameraman say "Ew", "disgusting", "nasty", and "I'm going to be sick". Several moments later, the camera came back on to see him rush into the staff restroom area.

It seems that something's are better left not seen, especially in the less pleasant areas of Prehistoric Park. In Miocene Africa, Nigel and Chiyo have found the hippopotamus pod. They have deployed the Ammonite and are steering towards the pod. However, other Miocene river dwellers are determined on giving him a hard time.

Nigel and Chiyo stood on the shore with Nigel keeping a steering the Ammonite, while Chiyo watched on the camera, alerting Nigel whenever he needed to turn or rise. Several minutes later, the Ammonite reached the hippos.

"Activate the portal Nigel" Chiyo said. Nigel was about to do so when something burst out of the depths and grabbed the Ammonite. A ten foot long crocodile burst out of the water with the mini sub in it's jaws. Nigel quickly activated the portal, sending the croc through to spare the relatively fragile Ammonite.

"That was a young Crocodylus Thorbjarnarsoni" Chiyo said. "I'm glad that we sent it back when we did or else the Ammonite might have been destroyed. We would have eventually rescued more to maintain genetic diversity, so it's good that we rescue it."

Nigel had once more gotten the mini sub close to the hippo pod. A young male started chasing the mini sub as a game, but Nigel and Chiyo took immediate advantage of that. They activated the portal, sending the young herbivore through to the present.

The mother rushed through to it's defense and the alpha male followed her. The rest however stayed where they were, perhaps just seeing their herd members disappear a minor inconvenience. Slowly, but steadily, the rest of the herd started disappearing one by one until none remained.

"Well that was easy" said Nigel smiling. "Let's get back to the park."

However, Nigel was interrupted by the sound of hooves beating against the ground. As the sound grew louder, so did the panicked shrieks of primates. Nigel turned around to see a herd of ungulates and ostriches stamped towards them. Chasing them were the last remnants of the Dinopithecus troop, chasing after them it appeared that the baboons were more carnivorous than originally thought.

The ungulates had very different horns between the genders. The males had butterfly-shaped horns that splayed out like a moose, while the females had horns that just looked like an oryx's. The ostriches were a strange yellow and orange combination, possibly to blend in with the grasses of the Miocene savanna.

Suddenly, a howler went out from the grass in front of the herd. The Paranthropus had been foraging for insects and figs in the tall grass. The alpha male (who Chiyo immediately named Black Beard) hollered out and the troop started to retreat. It seemed like the entire troop would make it until a young female tripped on a rock while running away.

"Chiyo come on" Nigel said, running towards the female with one of the time portal devices in his hand. Chiyo grabbed the other and followed him.

They rushed as fast as they could towards the female and set the portal up in front of her to protect her from the stampede that was nearly upon them. Just seconds before the stampede reached them, the portal flared to life and the herd rushed through.

The giant baboons shrieked in fear and retreated at the sight of seeing the portal once more. They ran away from it, tripping multiple times in their haste to escape from the swirling blue vortex. The female Paranthropus quickly got up and ran back to the safety of the troop, which were coming towards the humans to investigate.

Black Beard extended his hand and Chiyo stroked it. The troop immediately ran up to the two humans and started grooming them. Nigel activated the portal once more (which didn't seem to frighten the Paranthropus) and led them through. The holding pens were full of activity with the staff getting the strange moose-like creatures and yellow ostriches into moving trucks.

"I never got to explain what those animals are" Nigel said as Chiyo ushered the Paranthropus into a holding pen. "The ungulates are a species of giraffe and deer relative called Prolibytherium Magnieri. The males have the moose-like antlers and the females have antlers more like antelope. Those ostriches are Struthio Coppensi. They're a species of extinct ostrich. Not a lot is known about them, but they can't be that hard to take care of."

Meanwhile at Nigel's Bungalow...

Python was hungry again. He had learned how to use a broom to knock down the plastic cookie jar and cereal boxes. After the the so called "Cereal Coelophysis Incident" Nigel had put his cookies and cereal inside of the cabinets.

Python paced under the dinner table, growling with frustration, until Nigel's children woke up and opened the cabinet to get their respective cereals: Lucky Charms and Cocoa Puffs. Python immediately ran out of his hiding place and used their backs as a jumping platform. He quickly snagged the cereal boxes and jumped out an open window. Nigel's kids were too tired to chase him.

They went to the fridge to get an egg. Once they opened it, surprise surprise, the fridge was emptied of its contents, along with the freezer. They sighed. Nigel better approve of them having chips and crackers for breakfast.

At the newly built zone of Muerta, Nigel is observing some of the new creatures from Miocene Africa. They are now residing in their enclosures, Although one resident isn't happy.

Nigel sat on a bench as he watched the Dinopithecus and olive baboons move together throughout the rolling savanna from a bluff. Extra safety precautions had been taken with them. Forty percent of their diet consisted of meat, meaning that they had a much higher danger level than they originally let on. The Keeper Guide would have to give them a 9/10 danger level.

Nigel got up from the bench he was sitting on and walked towards the Miocene Africa exhibit. The Prolibytherium grazed together while the two mammoths species waded in the lake and explored the forest. The ostriches did their mating dances and it was possible to hear the roars of Machairodus in the South.

Nigel smiled as he next came to a glass tunnel. It was like a shark tunnel, except that it split into two halfway. One side took visitors to the Underwater Hippo Observation Center, while the other took visitors to the Giant African Crocodile Feeding Platform. The hippos were currently lounging in the lake, while the crocodiles were still exploring their territory. The crocodile lake was murky while the hippo lake was clear.

Nigel departed once more to visit the last enclosure. The Paranthropus and Ardipithecus were so far tolerating the other and some had even groomed each other. They shared the forest, but each had their own nest sites. Like gorillas, they made nests out of leaves and sticks to sleep in during the night.

Nigel departed to visit the last resident, who was less than happy. The Alfred continually paced around his exhibit, trumpeting, perhaps looking for something.

"He's looking for a new herd" Nigel said. "I would try to interrogate him to our other herd, but one of the males is especially aggressive. The Subplanifrons mammoths won't accept him him since he's a different species. We're going to try and find a suitable herd for him, but that probably won't be for a while."

Nigel walked away and past the Miocene herbivore exhibit once more. A female Prolibytherium was grooming her calf. The scene made Nigel smile, but sad at the same time. It reminded him of Cronus. Jane had quickly recovered from the shock of losing her eggs, but Cronus had tried to cling onto the past.

Nigel was pulled out of these thoughts as Python ran away from Bob and Muldoon with a box of Lucky Charms in his hands and a wallet in his mouth. Nigel smiled. Python always knew when to come at the right time and place to lighten the mood.

Next time on Prehistoric Park, Nigel and Chiyo rescue the first dinosaurs of feather and fuzz. (a small ornithopod dinosaur herd hops around Chiyo) Alfred joins a new herd, (a trumpet is heard as Alfred walks towards a herd of elephants with a rhino looking) And what is Hoskins up to? (Vic walks into a room that says retricted on it)

All next time on Prehistoric Park!
