0:00:52 > 0:00:55# Andy's Dinosaur Adventures

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

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Hi, I'm Andy. I work in the dinosaur gallery of the National Museum.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23This morning, Hatty's been working hard on a display

0:01:23 > 0:01:26all about the largest dinosaurs to have ever lived.

0:01:26 > 0:01:31Can't wait to see it and to find out what's inside this box.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Hi, Hatty, I've got the box you asked for.

0:01:39 > 0:01:40Hatty?

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Hello, Andy.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Hatty, what you working on there?

0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Just putting the finishing touches to my latest display.- What is it?

0:01:50 > 0:01:53This is the skull of a brachiosaurus,

0:01:53 > 0:01:56one of the longest dinosaurs that ever lived.

0:01:56 > 0:01:5926m from nose to tail.

0:01:59 > 0:02:0126m! That's like...

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Two double-decker busses end to end.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07- That's right.- But not as long as the diplodocus, though.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11You're right, diplodocus may have been longer, but if you look here,

0:02:11 > 0:02:15you'll see brachiosaurus was taller because it had a longer neck.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18So it could eat the leaves of the tallest trees.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Like this incredible monkey puzzle tree.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Monkey puzzle tree, that's a strange name.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28It certainly is, but then it's a very strange tree. It can grow 40m tall

0:02:28 > 0:02:31and its leaves are super sharp and pointy.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34That's why it's called a monkey puzzle tree,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36cos a monkey would be puzzled climbing it.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Now, you've brought the box I asked for, excellent.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42I've got a branch in here

0:02:42 > 0:02:46that I found in the forests of South America

0:02:46 > 0:02:49and I want to put it in the brachiosaurus mouth

0:02:49 > 0:02:53before the museum opens. I haven't seen this in a long time.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Possibly too long.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Erm...

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Is it meant to look like that?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11- It's meant to be green.- Ah.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I suppose I could try to make another one

0:03:18 > 0:03:22or see if they have any at the garden centre or...

0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Don't worry, Hatty, I'll sort it out.- But there's hardly any time.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28The museum opens in a moment.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31CLOCK CHIMES

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- I'll make time.- Thanks, Andy.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- I knew I could count on you.- Always!

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Time to go on a dinosaur adventure.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Waistcoat, gizmo, hat

0:03:58 > 0:04:01and, last but not least, Hatty's backpack.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15To the time of brachiosaurus!

0:04:17 > 0:04:20CLOCK WHIZZES

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Whoa!

0:04:39 > 0:04:41DINOSAUR GROANS

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I made it!

0:04:48 > 0:04:52I've travelled back in time 150 million years,

0:04:52 > 0:04:54to the time of brachiosaurus.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59Hmmm... I don't see any monkey puzzle trees around here, though.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Come to think of it,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03I don't see any trees at all.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Time for a walk, I think.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Look at this!

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Two young diplodocus having a drink.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Oh, look!

0:05:27 > 0:05:31But I think they're too small to reach the top of a monkey puzzle.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36But THEY'RE not.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40A whole heard of adult diplodocus!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Right, I'm going to join them.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49DINOSAUR GROANS

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Finally, I've caught up with them.

0:05:55 > 0:06:00They may be lumbering giants, but they take ginormous footsteps.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Whoa, what's he doing there?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06It says here that the males sometimes stood up

0:06:06 > 0:06:10on their back legs to impress the females.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14That must be what he's doing now.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16There's another one doing it too.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Uh-oh.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Things are heating up here.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Come on, you two, we can sort this out,

0:06:28 > 0:06:31no need to get angry. Before someone get hurt.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Like me.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38That's it, just walk away. That's a sensible thing to do...

0:06:38 > 0:06:39Whoa!

0:06:41 > 0:06:42And no name-calling.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Did you see that? He stomped his foot and the whole ground shook.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00It says here that they do that when they like each other.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Let's see if they do it again.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08He did do it again, they do like each other.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Whoa!

0:07:11 > 0:07:15Forgot about the tails. I'm going to make a move in case I get hurt.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22What's that?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's an allosaurus.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Oh, and it's got its hungry eyes on that diplodocus over there.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Oh, be careful!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39That's it, stand as tall as you can!

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Whoa! Where did that come from?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I said you had to watch their tales.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Right, I'm going to follow that herd down there.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58They're walking to some trees,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02I might find some monkey puzzle trees there.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Monkey puzzle trees, and they're everywhere!

0:08:23 > 0:08:26I've just got to get to those branches up there.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Whoa!

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Hatty was right.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46These monkey puzzle trees are really hard to climb.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50It's because there are no low branches to hold on to.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52And if I can't climb the trunk,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55how on Earth am I going to get to the top?

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Whoa.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Whoa! It's a huge brachiosaurus!

0:09:03 > 0:09:07It's the tallest dinosaur I've ever seen.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12That one's munching on top of the monkey puzzle tree.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22That gives me an idea.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32This is incredible, look how high up I am!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37What a view!

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Now I just need to get one of these branches, then I can head back.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Right...

0:09:51 > 0:09:53- BOING! - Ouch!

0:09:53 > 0:09:56They really are sharp. Erm...

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Ah! Got an idea.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Look at that!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Brilliant!

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Time to go down now.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Who-a-a-a!

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Yeah!

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Perfect. Now I'm going to take a shortcut through the woods

0:10:33 > 0:10:36and I should get back to the museum just in time.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Uh-oh.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45There's a mist coming and it's getting thicker.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47And thicker.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Oh!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Can't even see the end of my nose.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Oh, there it is.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57No, it's gone again.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00If I can't see anything, how am I going to get out of the forest?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Erm...

0:11:02 > 0:11:06Oh, Hatty's backpack, it's always full of useful things.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Erm...

0:11:10 > 0:11:12What's this?

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Sounds funny.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19There's a rope attached.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Wait a minute, is this a weather balloon?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Whoa! Agh!

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Ho-ho! This view is incredible.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Look at them all down there.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42See you later, brachiosaurus!

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Time to head back!

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Whoa!

0:12:09 > 0:12:12CLOCK CHIMES

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Hurry along now.

0:12:46 > 0:12:51This is the skull of a brachiosaurus, a plant-eating dinosaur

0:12:51 > 0:12:56that lived in North America and grew to around 26m long.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59It had a very long neck, which was perfect for reaching

0:12:59 > 0:13:04- up to the tops of the trees. - And even better for sliding down.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07As you can see,

0:13:07 > 0:13:11they loved eating the extraordinary branches of the monkey puzzle tree.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17Thanks, Andy. The branch of that monkey puzzle tree looks fantastic.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Oh, I'm glad you like it.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21What's puzzling me,

0:13:21 > 0:13:24is how you got it so quickly.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Shush!

0:13:27 > 0:13:28See you next time.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43# 1, 2, 3, 4!
