0:00:56 > 0:01:00# Dinosaur, Dinosaur Adventures! #

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Hi, I work in the Dinosaur Gallery here in the National Museum.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25I'm off to see Hatty's brand-new exhibit all about fossils.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27- I can't wait to see it. - GROWLING

0:01:27 > 0:01:30And also to find out why she wanted this box.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33There's some very strange sounds coming from it.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Aww, what a great painting!

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Really nice! What's that?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Hatty?

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Hello, Andy. I'm just putting the finishing touches

0:01:46 > 0:01:49to my latest display. What do you think?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's great. What's this down here, Hatty?

0:01:51 > 0:01:57That...is a large pile...of poo.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Ah.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Or, as we fossil-hunters call it - dung.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Dinosaur dung.- Hmm. - Well, not actual dinosaur dung,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09it's really just something I made from mud and straw.

0:02:09 > 0:02:14Very last thing, to make it look even more realistic... Close your eyes.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Prepare to be...amazed.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Oh, it's a beetle. - Not just any beetle!

0:02:25 > 0:02:29This beetle feeds on the dung of all sorts of different animals -

0:02:29 > 0:02:34elephants, cows, bison, which is why it's called...

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- A dung beetle!- Exactly.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Dung beetles have been around for millions of years,

0:02:41 > 0:02:48and they even fed on the dung of our delightful diplodocus here.

0:02:48 > 0:02:55Some beetles find the dung using their sense of smell,

0:02:55 > 0:02:58while others hitch a ride on an animal

0:02:58 > 0:03:00then hop off when the dinosaur does a poo.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02But they are all...

0:03:02 > 0:03:05BEETLE BUZZES AWAY ..excellent flyers.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Oh, where's it gone?- Oh...

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Uhh...

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Not here.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17BUZZING

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Not here.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22BUZZING CONTINUES

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Here it is!- You've found it?

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Oh, eh, my chicken sandwich.- Ah.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Thought I'd lost it.- What am I going to do? The museum opens soon.

0:03:34 > 0:03:39I suppose I could try to find a pet shop, or maybe call a zoo, or...

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Hatty, I'll sort it out. - But you don't have time.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44GRANDFATHER CLOCK TOLLS

0:03:45 > 0:03:48SCREECHING

0:03:50 > 0:03:56- I'll make time!- Thanks, Andy, I knew I could count on you.- Always.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Right.

0:03:58 > 0:04:06All I need is Hatty's backpack...the bug box...and my chicken sandwich.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Now it's time to go on a dinosaur adventure!

0:04:16 > 0:04:20'Waistcoat. Gizmo. Hat.'

0:04:32 > 0:04:34To the time of diplodocus!

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Yeah!

0:04:57 > 0:04:59DINOSAUR SQUAWKS

0:05:06 > 0:05:08I've made it!

0:05:08 > 0:05:12I've travelled back in time 152 million years,

0:05:12 > 0:05:15to the time of diplodocus.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18All I need to do is find myself a dung beetle,

0:05:18 > 0:05:22and the best way to do that is to find diplodocus dung.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Erm...

0:05:25 > 0:05:27HE SNIFFS

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Hmm, there's definitely an air of it over here.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45HE CONTINUES SNIFFING

0:05:50 > 0:05:52HE SIGHS

0:05:52 > 0:05:57Well, I can't find any diplodocus, or any dung for that matter.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01So strange, I thought I was on the right track.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- DINOSAUR SQUEAKS - Hang on, what's going on?

0:06:09 > 0:06:10What's happening?

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Incredible - a whole load of baby diplodocus!

0:06:19 > 0:06:21It says here that the adults used to lay

0:06:21 > 0:06:24the eggs in the ground to keep them safe and warm,

0:06:24 > 0:06:29and then when the babies hatched, they would pop out, just like this.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Hello.

0:06:37 > 0:06:42Welcome to the world. I never thought I'd get to see this.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47This is great, but I need to find a dung beetle.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51These babies are too new, they wouldn't have had time to eat yet.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55If they haven't eaten, they can't produce any dung.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58But they've got to eat soon.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04BABY DIPLODOCUS GRUNT

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm following the babies to find food.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18I'm keeping nice and low, just in case they get a bit scared.

0:07:18 > 0:07:23It also means I've got a better chance of finding a dung beetle.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27Diplodocus are plant eaters, although this lot are quite fussy.

0:07:27 > 0:07:33There are some plants there. No? How about over there? No?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37They seem to be in a bit of a hurry.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- HE GASPS - And I think I know why!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Ornitholestes.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03It says here that it used to be a really fast runner,

0:08:03 > 0:08:05especially when hunting.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Now, luckily, I'm too big for its dinner.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14It could easily gobble up these baby diplodocus.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I know!

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Here, look.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Sandwich?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33It's working! Run, diplodo... Huh?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Where've they gone?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38LONG GROWL

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Yes!

0:08:57 > 0:09:03It's an adult diplodocus, and I THINK it's going for a poo.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05If it is, the dung beetles should smell it,

0:09:05 > 0:09:08and they'll be here in seconds.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13Hang on, that's not dung, that's...

0:09:13 > 0:09:14That's an egg!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Oh, I can't believe I'm seeing this!

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Which means he is a she!

0:09:21 > 0:09:25What she'll do now is bury the egg to keep it safe and warm,

0:09:25 > 0:09:28and then the egg will hatch just like the others did.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33This is great, but I still need to find some dung!

0:09:37 > 0:09:40I think the best thing to do is to stay with her.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43The only thing is, when she goes to join the herd,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45it's going to be hard to keep up.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47DIPLODOCUS ROARS

0:09:47 > 0:09:48Unless...

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Now this is what I call travelling in style.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56What a view.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59PFFRT!

0:09:59 > 0:10:04Hang on, what's that? Is that what I think it is? Ho-ho-ho!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Oh...whoa, easy!

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Dinosaur poo. Peuuww!

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Thanks for that.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oh...

0:10:20 > 0:10:23That's incredible!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I knew that dung beetles had a great sense of smell, but...

0:10:26 > 0:10:30these ones have got here before I did. Brilliant.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'll just pick one up and put it in the bug box.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Right.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41Which one?

0:10:43 > 0:10:48Hoo. Ooh. Oops.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49- Er... - SQUELCH

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Ooh.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54How about this one?

0:11:01 > 0:11:05There we are! Ha-ha!

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Right. Hatty's going to be pleased with that.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12GRANDFATHER CLOCK TOLLS

0:11:14 > 0:11:19The clock... I've got no more time, I've got to get back to the museum!

0:11:19 > 0:11:20All right.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21SQUELCHING

0:11:24 > 0:11:29Oh, no, I'm stuck in the dinosaur poo!

0:11:29 > 0:11:33Aww, what am I going to do?

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Hatty's backpack - it's always full of useful things.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43An umbrella? What's that going to do?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48PFFRT!

0:11:48 > 0:11:49Whoaaaah!

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Ho-ho, see you later, diplodocus!

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Whoaaah!

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Ugh! Oh...

0:12:09 > 0:12:13Well, that wasn't the landing I was after.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Time to head back.

0:12:21 > 0:12:22Ohh!

0:12:52 > 0:12:54GRANDFATHER CLOCK TOLLS

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Fellow explorers, come this way.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18That is the diplodocus, one of the longest dinosaurs that ever lived.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23And this is some of its dung that turned to stone

0:13:23 > 0:13:25over millions of years.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Don't worry, it doesn't smell. - (Unlike the real thing.)

0:13:29 > 0:13:33And this is what it might have looked like all those years ago.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38With a delightful little dung beetle on it.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Thanks, Andy, I don't know where you found him.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43BUZZING

0:13:43 > 0:13:45He seems to have found a friend.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Shh. See you next time.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07# One, two, three, four!
