0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hello, I'm Andy and I work in a dinosaur gallery

0:01:18 > 0:01:21at the National Museum.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hatty's working on a brand-new displays today,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26all about a dinosaur called Allosaurus.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30I can't wait to see it. She's asked me to bring her this bag of...

0:01:30 > 0:01:34actually, I don't know what it is...let's find out.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45What is that?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47It looks a bit like snow.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51It's not snow, it's salt.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Oh, salt! Well, there's a lot of it!

0:01:54 > 0:01:57It's what's called a salt flat, where the sea dries up

0:01:57 > 0:01:59and only salt is left.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Ah, it looks amazing, it looks a bit like the surface of the moon!

0:02:03 > 0:02:07You actually find them in deserts all over the world

0:02:07 > 0:02:12and in a few of them, you can find something really special.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Wow, what's this?

0:02:15 > 0:02:19This is the footprint of an Allosaurus.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22A fierce dinosaur that, occasionally,

0:02:22 > 0:02:26crossed the salt flats of North America.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28That's where I found this footprint.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31What do you think?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33I think it's got pretty big feet!

0:02:33 > 0:02:36You would, too, if you were five-metres high.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40five-metres high? That's like the size of a giraffe!

0:02:40 > 0:02:43And weighed almost a tonne and a half.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Almost as much as a car!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48That's why Allosaurus was scary.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51By hunting in packs, they could bring down plant-eating

0:02:51 > 0:02:55dinosaurs that were even bigger than they were.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58THEY GROWL

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Hatty, you seem to know a lot about Allosaurus.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04That's because so many Allosaurus fossils have been found.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07More than any other big, hunting dinosaur.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11So, scientists have been able to learn an awful lot about them.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Really? So, are you going to put anything around this footprint?

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Looks a little bit lonely. - Yes, I was going to add the salt,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21to make it look like it's sitting in a salt flat.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Salt, that's what's in the bag! - Yes, thanks for bringing it.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29Could you pour the salt all over? I really want it covered.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Right.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35OK...oh!

0:03:35 > 0:03:37This is a funny-coloured salt.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39HE SNEEZES

0:03:40 > 0:03:43That's not salt, that's...

0:03:43 > 0:03:45- SHE SNEEZES - ..pepper!- Oh, no!

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Someone's delivered the wrong bag. - HE SNEEZES

0:03:48 > 0:03:51What are we going to do? The museum opens soon.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- We can't have a room full of... - SHE SNEEZES

0:03:54 > 0:03:56..sneezing children!

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Maybe I could call... - SHE SNEEZES

0:03:58 > 0:04:01..the delivery company or see if there's any in the...

0:04:01 > 0:04:05- THEY BOTH SNEEZE - Cupboard?- ..cafe.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Don't worry about it, Hatty, I'll try and sort it out.

0:04:08 > 0:04:14But there's no...time.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17SHE SNEEZES

0:04:17 > 0:04:20CLOCK BELL RINGS

0:04:22 > 0:04:25DINOSAUR SQUAWKS

0:04:27 > 0:04:28I'll make time!

0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Oh, thanks, Andy! I knew I could count on you.- Always!

0:04:34 > 0:04:36SHE SNEEZES

0:04:38 > 0:04:42You know what this means? It's time to go on a dinosaur adventure!

0:04:42 > 0:04:44- HE SNEEZES - Sorry!

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Right, waistcoat, gismo, hat

0:04:57 > 0:05:00and last, but not least, Hatty's backpack!

0:05:17 > 0:05:20To the time of Allosaurus!

0:05:52 > 0:05:54I made it!

0:05:54 > 0:05:57I've travelled back in time 145 million years,

0:05:57 > 0:06:00to the time of Allosaurus!

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Wow...and there's one now!

0:06:06 > 0:06:10He seems to be more interested in that poo down there, than me.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18ALLOSAURUS SHRIEKS

0:06:18 > 0:06:20What's he doing?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25ALLOSAURUS ROARS

0:06:26 > 0:06:30That's the call it makes when there's another Allosaurus nearby.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37ALLOSAURUS ROARS

0:06:38 > 0:06:40And there it is.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Oh, he looks a lot bigger than he does.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Uh-oh, be careful!

0:06:50 > 0:06:52ALLOSAURUS ROARS

0:06:52 > 0:06:54I think he's trying to scare him off.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59He's not giving up.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'd watch out!

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Ooh!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19That must have hurt!

0:07:19 > 0:07:21THEY ROAR AND SHRIEK

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Where's he off to?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Wait for me.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I'm going to follow him, he might lead me to some salt flats.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57We're not going to get very far at this speed!

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Huh? Why's he limping?

0:08:15 > 0:08:20Oh, of course, poor thing, he must have hurt himself in the fight.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Oh, no...wait a minute.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32That's why he's limping, he's got a thorn stuck in his foot.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40If he lets me get close enough, I can probably help him.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45OK, easy...just trying to help.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55There we go. How's that?

0:08:57 > 0:09:01It might be sore for a while, but it should get better soon.

0:09:01 > 0:09:06Oh...my feet are feeling pretty sore too. I could do with a lift.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Thank goodness his foot is better!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20And look what we found!

0:09:20 > 0:09:24A whole herd of Diplodocus.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Look at them swishing their tails around.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32THEY BELLOW

0:09:33 > 0:09:38Uh-oh, it looks like the Allosaurus is back...with a friend.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44Erm, excuse me, erm, Allosaurus, could you put me down at all?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Wow...slow down! Hang on!

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Stop!

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Wow!... Whey!... Argh!

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Where do you think you're going?

0:09:59 > 0:10:02One thing's for sure, his foot's better.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Wow...oh...huh!

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Mind that tail!

0:10:09 > 0:10:11And the head!

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Argh!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Oh...ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Watch out for that tail.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Hoo-hoo!

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Ouch!

0:10:31 > 0:10:33HE GROANS

0:10:37 > 0:10:43I might have lost my ride, but I found the salt for Hatty's display!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51CLOCK BELL RINGS

0:10:51 > 0:10:55The clock...I've got to get back to the museum before it opens

0:10:55 > 0:10:57and the clock is miles away.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Hatty's backpack, it's always full of useful things.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07What's this?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10It looks like a kite.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13How's that going to help me here.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Unless...

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Woo-hoo-hoo!

0:11:29 > 0:11:33Ha-ha-ha! Wow!

0:11:33 > 0:11:36This is incredible, I can see everything up here.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Wow!

0:11:40 > 0:11:41The clock.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Time to head back.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34CLOCK BELL RINGS

0:13:09 > 0:13:13This is the footprint of one of the greatest hunters of them all,

0:13:13 > 0:13:15an Allosaurus.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19I found its footprint in the salt flats of North America.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Just near the footprints of some huge Diplodocus.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27From the looks of it, they were travelling quite fast.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28(They weren't the only ones!)

0:13:28 > 0:13:33But we don't need to, so take your time and have a good look around.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Thanks, Andy!

0:13:36 > 0:13:40I don't know how you did it, but that salt flat looks brilliant!

0:13:40 > 0:13:44Almost as if you'd been there yourself.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Ssh!

0:13:51 > 0:13:52See you next time.
