Hello, I'm Andy.

I work here in the dinosaur gallery of the National Museum.

Hatty, our dinosaur expert, is working on a brand new display today

all about life in the time of Tyrannosaurus rex.

My favourite dinosaur!

I don't know why she wants a CD, but I'm sure we'll find out.

That looks good.

I love a display with a Tyrannosaurus rex on it.

Hmm... I wonder what this does.

Ah, there you are!

Sounds like Hatty.

That's because it is Hatty. I'm right here.

Whoa! Sorry, Hatty, I'm a bit jumpy today. Hatty?

-Did you bring that CD I asked for?

-Yeah.

I thought you were the button.

-What's on it?

-Let me show you.

Now, press the button.

T-REX ROARS

A Tyrannosaurus rex!

Not a real Tyrannosaurs rex, of course,

because no-one was alive to hear her, let alone record her.

But, I think it's probably pretty close.

I made it by mixing the trumpet of an elephant and the bark of a dog.

-Pretty good, don't you think?

-It sounds great!

Scientists think that dinosaurs made all sorts of peculiar sounds.

The fossils of some dinosaurs,

like this Lambeosaurus, for instance,

show that they had crests on top of their heads.

These crests would fill with air when the dinosaur breathed in.

If they wanted to make a sound,

they'd just push the air back out again.

Hoooooo!

Like a trombone! Wooo!

Exactly! You see, many dinosaurs lived in groups.

And animals that live in groups, like monkeys or lions,

need to make noises that the rest of the group can hear.

-Like cries for help.

-Or, noises to scare off an attacker.

Or, warning signs when danger is coming.

Or, in the case of Tyrannosaurus rex,

to show who's boss.

Because T-rex was definitely the boss in his neighbourhood.

ROARING

Sorry, Hatty, you surprised me again.

That's all right, I should've warned you.

MUFFLED ROARS

Must have got scratched.

It has! There's no way it's going to work now and the museum opens soon.

You could record my voice, I could roar.

ROOAAAR!

I think we'll need something else. Uh...

maybe I could go to the zoo and try to record another elephant, or...

Erm!

-Don't worry, Hatty, I'll sort it out.

-But there's no time.

BELL CHIMES

CUCKOO CLOCK SQUAWKS

I'll make time.

-Thanks, Andy, I knew I could count on you.

-Oh, always.

You know what this means, time to go on a dinosaur adventure!

Right, waistcoat.

Gizmo. Hat.

And last but not least, Hatty's backpack.

To the time of Tyrannosaurus rex!

CLOCK CHIMES

DINOSAURS GRUNT

I've made it!

I travelled back in time 65 million years

to the time of Tyrannosaurus rex.

Now, all I need to do is find a T-rex,

and record its incredible roar on my gizmo.

DINOSAUR ROARS

What was that?

T-REX ROARS

It's a T-rex!

T-REX ROARS

It's quite far away.

But, I can still hear it.

T-REX ROARS

T-REX ROARS

Oh, it's far too quiet.

I'm going to need to get closer.

Was that...that sounded close.

I think it might be coming from over there.

DINOSAUR ROARS

It's a group of Anatotitans.

It says here that they're plant eaters.

I can't see much plant life around here.

All there is is lots of ash from the volcanoes.

It also says that

they could have been a favourite food of the T-rex.

In that case, I'll stick with them in case one turns up and roars.

Yeah, a bit like that, only a lot louder.

This is more like it.

Anatotitans used to live in areas where there was lots of water,

just like this.

And, with lots of delicious green leaves to eat.

DINOSAUR ROARS

What was that?

It's not a huge Tyrannosaurus rex, but it is a huge pterosaur.

It's a Quetzalcoatlus.

I think he's coming in to land.

Oh, not before he's had some lunch, though.

Look at that! It's enormous!

Those wings must be about 10 meters from tip to tip.

Easily the largest flying animal ever.

DINOSAUR ROARS

This mist is getting thicker.

Come on, T-rex, where are you? Uh...what's that?

I hope I'm going the right way. Hmm...

I think I'm close.

Oh! Ouch!

Who put that there?

Oh, what's this?

OK, I'm going to sit on this rock till the mist clears.

Ah...well, this rock feels like it's moving.

What's that noise? I'm obviously hungrier than I thought.

Ah, the mist has cleared, I can see things now.

Like that T-rex I was after.

Oh!

T-rex! Two of them. And they're both asleep.

All I have to do is wake them up, get them to roar at me,

I can record it on my gizmo, then run back to the clock.

Right...

How do you wake a T-rex up?

Umm...

Ooh-ee!

HE WHISTLES

Wakey, wakey!

-HE CLAPS

-Come on now, up you get!

Umm... UP! Get up! Wake up!

What am I going to do? This isn't working.

Oh!

ROCK RICOCHETS

All right, that's what we're talking about. I just need to...

Well, where are you going? Now, if one of you could just...

T-REX ROARS

OK.

I think I've got it.

You can stop now.

I better go! Whoa!

I think I've lost them.

Oh, no! How did they get there?

They must have overtaken me.

How am I going to get past them to the clock?

CLOCK CHIMES

The museum, it's going to open soon.

Um...

Hatty's backpack. It's always full of useful things.

T-REX ROARS

A rescue flare? Who's going to help me here?

There's not going to be anybody around here to rescue me

for the next 65 million years!

Um...

Unless...

Yes, it's working.

They're distracted by the smoke.

All right, here I go!

Time to head back! Whoa!

T-REX GRUNTS

Whoa!

CLOCK CHIMES

CLOCK CHIMES

Almost there, almost there.

All right, hurry along now.

Done!

We don't want to turn into dinosaurs ourselves, do we?

Nobody knows for sure, but we think that dinosaurs

probably made lots of different sounds, just like modern animals do.

Although, a little bit scarier.

If Andy presses that red button you should hear what I think

a Tyrannosaurus rex sounded like 65 million years ago.

T-REX ROARS

T-REX ROARS

Thanks, Andy.

I don't know how you did it, but those roars sounds so realistic.

-It's almost as if you were right there with one.

-Yeah.

Shh! See you next time!
