0:00:26 > 0:00:29The old museum clock takes me back in time

0:00:29 > 0:00:33to when dinosaurs ruled the world.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36"Take me to the time of the dinosaurs," I say.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hold on tight, shut your eyes and then we fly away!

0:00:55 > 0:00:59# Dinosaur, Dinosaur Adventures. #

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Hello, I'm Andy. Welcome to the National Museum.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21I work in the dinosaur gallery with Hatty, our expert.

0:01:21 > 0:01:26And there's nothing she doesn't know about dinosaurs.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29She asked me to bring her this bucket of sand for her display.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Come on, let's go and take a look.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35I've got the sand you asked for.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40That's a strange-looking creature.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Oh, I didn't mean you, Hatty.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Hatty? What are you doing?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53I'm trying to work out exactly

0:01:53 > 0:01:57how this lovely ornithocheirus would've flown.

0:02:03 > 0:02:08So I can make sure I've got his head in exactly the right position.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Ornithocheirus.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14It was a huge flying reptile at the time of the dinosaurs.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Like a giant lizard with wings?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yeah. Except they weren't just any old wings,

0:02:19 > 0:02:23these were more than five metres from tip to tip.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27One, two, three, four, five.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30So each wing is about as long as I am tall.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35Can you imagine these huge reptiles flying over the oceans,

0:02:35 > 0:02:37catching fish in their beaks,

0:02:37 > 0:02:40then landing on beautiful sandy beaches

0:02:40 > 0:02:43covered in these beautiful things?

0:02:44 > 0:02:49- That's an interesting-looking shell. - It's not a shell, it's a skeleton.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Just like that's a skeleton.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55This is the skeleton of a little sea creature called a sand dollar.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Sand dollar?

0:02:57 > 0:03:00They spend their lives crawling on the ocean floor,

0:03:00 > 0:03:05then when they die, their skeletons wash up on the beach.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Is that the time? I'd better be going.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10The museum opens soon and I've got lots to do.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Do you think you could spread some sand around?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16I want it to look like a proper beach.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Leave it to me.- Thanks, Andy!

0:03:23 > 0:03:25HE WHISTLES A TUNE

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Ooo! Better be careful I don't bury Hatty's sand dollar.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37No, no! Come back! No, not down there!

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Oh, no! What am I going to do?

0:03:42 > 0:03:47I suppose I can make a new one out of glue and sand and something.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49CLOCK CHIMES

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Even better.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I can get myself a brand-new one.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Time to go on a dinosaur adventure!

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Right. Waistcoat.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Check! Gizmo.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Check! Hat.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Check! And last but not least, Hatty's backpack!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56The time of ornithocheirus!

0:05:26 > 0:05:28I've made it!

0:05:28 > 0:05:32I've travelled back in time 127 million years

0:05:32 > 0:05:35to the time of ornithocheirus.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39I can't see one among these pterosaurs, though.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43And I'm here in Brazil.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47This is what Brazil would've looked like millions of years ago.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Look at those amazing rock towers!

0:05:53 > 0:05:55OK, sand dollar.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59I'm not going to find any sand dollars on this rocky beach.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01If I can get over those cliffs,

0:06:01 > 0:06:05there might be a sandy beach on the other side. Let's go!

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Just look at them!

0:06:14 > 0:06:16SQUAWKING

0:06:17 > 0:06:22That is the strangest pterosaur I've ever seen! I wonder what they are.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm going to get closer to them.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42This really is incredible!

0:06:47 > 0:06:51It says here they're called tapejaras.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54And that the males use those huge red crests

0:06:54 > 0:06:57to scare off other males and to attract the females.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01That must be why they're moving their heads up and down -

0:07:01 > 0:07:04to attract the girls up there.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06What's that?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's an ornithocheirus!

0:07:13 > 0:07:18Look at the crest on its beak! And its huge sharp teeth!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Perfect for catching fish when it's flying over the sea.

0:07:24 > 0:07:30What did Hatty say? Ornithocheirus gather around sandy beaches.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Maybe he can give me a lift.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Come on, let's do it!

0:07:40 > 0:07:44It's not easy climbing these cliffs. Better watch out for that blowhole!

0:07:47 > 0:07:49There he is!

0:07:51 > 0:07:57Oh, no! How am I going to get to those sandy...? Argh!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Wha-ha-ha-hah!

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Whoo-hoo-hoo!

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Ho-ho-ho! I've landed on an ornithocheirus!

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Whoo-hoo!

0:08:20 > 0:08:23It looks like we're already heading to the beach.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27There's loads of his friends. Watch out, coming into land!

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Whoa! Whoo!

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Oh!

0:08:40 > 0:08:46There really are a lot of them, aren't there? And they're so noisy!

0:08:46 > 0:08:49The reason they're noisy is because

0:08:49 > 0:08:51the males are trying to attract the females.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54SQUAWKING

0:09:10 > 0:09:14I can't believe how sharp their teeth are!

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Their breath smells of fish!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Oh, sorry.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24What's that? Is that a sand dollar?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Oh, no, it's just a shell.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Ooo! But that looks promising.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Is it? Yes! It's a sand dollar!

0:09:40 > 0:09:42CLOCK CHIMES

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I've got to get back to the museum! Right.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Hang on, wait for me! I need a lift back to the clock!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Wait! Wait for me! Come back!

0:09:55 > 0:10:00Come back! Oh! What am I going to do now?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I need to get myself back to the museum!

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Hatty's backpack! It's always full of useful things!

0:10:11 > 0:10:14A wetsuit? How's this going to help me?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Unless...!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46The great thing about wetsuits...

0:10:49 > 0:10:51..they're incredibly...

0:10:55 > 0:10:57..stretchy!

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Wh-aa-aa-aa-aa!

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Oh, no, not the blowhole again!

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Whoo-hoo-hoo!

0:11:08 > 0:11:10HE SCREAMS

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Whoa!

0:11:22 > 0:11:24CLOCK CHIMES

0:11:55 > 0:11:59CLOCK CHIMES

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Hurry along now.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19We don't want to turn into dinosaurs ourselves, do we?

0:12:25 > 0:12:29This is an ornithocheirus.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33A large pterosaur that filled the skies in the time of the dinosaurs.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37- They were truly incredible fliers. - You're telling me!

0:12:37 > 0:12:41They would've easily flown thousands of miles in just a few months.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45And this...

0:12:45 > 0:12:48is...

0:12:48 > 0:12:50a sand dollar.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55A sea creature that's been washing up on our beaches

0:12:55 > 0:12:58for millions and millions of years.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Thanks for finishing the beach. It looks great!

0:13:01 > 0:13:04And you look like you've already been for a swim.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Ssh!

0:13:10 > 0:13:12See you next time.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27One, two, three, four!
