0:00:04 > 0:00:08There's dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes. You should see them!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Hattie is a collector of things from long ago.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Come and see the dinosaurs! Ready, steady, go!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17One, two, three, four!
0:00:17 > 0:00:18# Come on Andy's dinosaur adventures
0:00:18 > 0:00:19# Hey, join the crew!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25# Looking at the dinosaurs collecting something so...
0:00:25 > 0:00:26# Yeah, you can come, too!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# The old museum clock takes me back in time
0:00:30 > 0:00:33# To when dinosaurs ruled the world
0:00:33 > 0:00:36# Take me to the time of the dinosaurs, I say
0:00:36 > 0:00:39# Hold on tight, shut your eyes and then we fly away...
0:00:39 > 0:00:40# One, two, three, four!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44# Come on Andy's dinosaur adventures

0:00:55 > 0:00:57# Dinosaur, dinosaur adventures! #
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I'm Andy and I work here in the dinosaur gallery
0:01:17 > 0:01:19of the National Museum.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hattie is working on a new display today
0:01:21 > 0:01:25set in the time of the earliest dinosaurs. Can't wait to see it.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28She's asked me to bring this screwdriver.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Good job on the display, Hattie! - Morning, Andy.- Did you make this?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Yep.- What an interesting-looking dinosaur.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48- Oh, it's not a dinosaur, this is a Placerias.- A Placerias...?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50A Placerias. You see, dinosaurs
0:01:50 > 0:01:53weren't the first big animals to rule the world.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Before dinosaurs came along, another group of giant reptiles
0:01:58 > 0:02:04roamed the earth, and that group included this lovely Placerias here.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07He probably spent most of his time in the river
0:02:07 > 0:02:11hiding from ferocious meat-eaters while eating the water plants.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Like a hippopotamus.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15A bit, except hippos live in Africa,
0:02:15 > 0:02:20while Placerias lived in what is now North America.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23What is NOW North America?
0:02:23 > 0:02:28220 million years ago, when Placerias was alive, there was no such thing
0:02:28 > 0:02:32as North America or Africa or any of the other continents.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38There was just one big piece of land called Pangaea. Look...
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Sometime after all the Placerias died out,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Pangaea began to break up into smaller pieces
0:02:47 > 0:02:51that then drifted around the world until, millions of years later,
0:02:51 > 0:02:55those pieces of land became the seven continents we have now -
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Europe, Australia, South America and,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02last but not least...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- North America.- Yeah.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07He seems sturdy enough. Now, what next?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09CREAKING
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Ohhh! CRASH
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I was so busy making sure the sculpture didn't fall off,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- I completely forgot about the stand.- It's OK, I'll fix it for you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Thanks, but how?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26I could try to make another really quickly or find a skeleton or...
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Don't worry, Hattie, I'll sort it out.- But there's so little time.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31CLOCK CHIMES
0:03:34 > 0:03:38PTERODACTYL SCREECHES THE HOUR
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- I'll MAKE time!- Really?- Trust me. - Oh, thanks, Andy.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- I knew I could count on you. - Always! You know what this means?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Time to go on a dinosaur adventure!
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Waistcoat, gizmo, hat and, last but not least, Hattie's backpack.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16To the time of Placerias!

0:04:52 > 0:04:55I've travelled back in time 220 million years
0:04:55 > 0:04:56to the time of Placerias.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Hang on...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Look at this! Red clay everywhere.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07This will be perfect for making the sculpture that Hattie broke.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Oh, but hang on...
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Oh, no, this stuff is too dry. I need some nice wet clay.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21And I think I'm only going to find that by some water. Um...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23OK, I'll try this way.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32There's definitely no water here.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48A whole herd of Placerias! Now, what did Hattie say?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52She said they spent most of their time by the river.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Which means they've probably found some water.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00No, this one looks pretty thirsty.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Looks like he hasn't had a drink for a while, actually.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08But if they're that thirsty then they are still looking for water!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11If I follow them, maybe they'll lead me to the river,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14where I can find some nice wet clay.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20This is a much cooler way to get around.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Much easier on the feet, too. Come on! That's it, boy, keep on going!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Look at all these plants! That's a good sign.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35It means there's water close by. And look at this amazing view!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42There was no grass in the time of the early dinosaurs,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46but there was still some fantastic greenery.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Oh! There's nothing like being in the countryside
0:06:53 > 0:06:57millions of years before any noisy traffic.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59GROWLING
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Oh... I spoke too soon.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05GRUNTING AND GROWLING
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Whoa! Whoa!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11What's going on?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Huh?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Oh, I see the problem.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27It's a hungry Coelophysis, one of the earliest dinosaurs.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32You're not big enough to catch these huge Placerias, not on your own.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Coelophysis are used to hunting in groups.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38There is no way they could bite into the thick skin of these guys.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40GRUNTING
0:07:43 > 0:07:45That's it, you tell him!
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Ha-ha! That saw him off. Now, time to find that water.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56But more importantly, the red clay. Where is my list?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Wait for me!
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Oh, yes! There's plenty of water down there.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11And lots of red clay, too! Come on! Onwards!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Whoa...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Whoa! Easy!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Not too fast now!
0:08:21 > 0:08:24OK, be careful.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Watch out for those trees. No...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Aagh!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It's all right. Oh!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Ha-ha!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Oh! Look at all this lovely red clay.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I hope it's thick enough so I can make my... Whoa!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56..sculpture...
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Eurgh!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Yep, it's definitely thick enough.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Right... Time to get sculpting.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39What am I going to do?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I've got to get back to the museum!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Hattie's backpack. It's always full of useful things.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Time to head back!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Whoa...!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56CLOCK CHIMES
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Hurry along now!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58This is a sculpture of a Placerias.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03An animal that lived at the same time as some of the first dinosaurs.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Its tusks may look scary,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08but they were actually used for digging up plants.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11And helping me out of the water, of course.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Feel free to look around, but please don't touch the sculpture,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17it's very delicate.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I don't know how you did it, but that sculpture is so real!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24It's as though you had a Placerias right in front of you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Shhh!
