HE WHISTLES

DOOR LOCKS

Hi, I'm Andy and I run the Prehistory Gallery

here at the National Museum. I'm very excited cos tomorrow morning

we're opening a brand-new exhibit about two very special dinosaurs.

Just about to bring in the final piece now.

I wonder how Jen's getting on.

Jen? Jen?

-Oh, hello, Andy.

-Oh, what you doing being there?

-I'm playing hide and seek.

-Right.

-Who with?

-I don't know, I haven't found them yet.

Wow! What's that?

-It looks like a giant toothpick.

-This is a thagomizer -

a bony spike that belonged to the tail of a Stegosaurus,

a huge plant-eating dinosaur that lived around 150 million years ago.

It was used - Whoom! - to protect itself from predators.

I better put this on the tail. I don't want to break it.

There we go. Perfect.

Right, how are you getting on with your display?

I've loaded all the data you gave me onto my computer

-and came up with this.

-BEEPING

Whoa!

It's a Camptosaurus,

another large plant-eating dinosaur that lived alongside Stegosaurus.

And this is how I think they might have sounded.

CAMPTOSAURUS CALLS

I made it by mixing lots of different animal sounds together.

-Jen, that is good!

-Yay!

ANDY SNIFFS

Is that what you think Camptosaurus might have smelled like?

-SHE SNIFFS

-Um, no, that's my chicken soup.

Oh, right. Scientists have uncovered lots of Camptosaurus footprints

right beside Stegosaurus footprints.

That's how we know they lived alongside each other.

-I'm just not sure why.

-Perhaps they were just friends.

-Perhaps.

Maybe Mrs Pickles knows.

I can't wait to show her the display tomorrow. And the thagomizer.

Ooh!

VARIOUS ANIMAL NOISES

What on Earth is that racket?

-SHE SNIFFS

-You two got a chicken in here?

HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

Oh, no, Mrs Pickles, we're just finishing off the exhibit.

Oh, splendid. I'm coming to see it first thing in the morning.

-We'll make sure it's ready.

-Excellent.

Carry on!

Oh, no, my Camptosaurus call has gone all wrong.

What are we going to do?

-Can you make a new one?

-Not by tomorrow morning.

There isn't enough time.

CLOCK CHIMES IN DISTANCE

SCREECHING

I'll make time.

I know exactly where I can get a Camptosaurus call.

Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!

But, Andy, how will you...?

Waistcoat. Gizmo. Hat.

Backpack.

CLOCK CHIMES

To the time of Camptosaurus!

WHOOSHING

Ohhh!

Oh!

HE LAUGHS

Ahhh!

Whoo-hoo!

I've made it!

I've travelled back in time 150 million years,

to the time of Camptosaurus.

GROWLING

What was that?

Doesn't sound like a Camptosaurus call.

Whoa!

It's an Allosaurus!

LOW GROWLING

They had large, serrated teeth.

They were the top predators of their time.

And this one's pretty hungry.

HE EXHALES That was a close one.

It's hard to see anything sneaking up on you

with all these rocks around.

BEEPING

Wait - they're not rocks, they're termite mounds!

Giant pillars of earth built by tiny insects.

If I climb one, I might be able to spot a Camptosaurus.

HE GROANS

Ah...

Ah! That's better.

GASPS: Hang on.

It looks like the right shape.

Wha...? Wait a second.

HE GASPS

That's a Pterosaur!

And he's heading this way!

That gives me an idea.

Whoa! Oof!

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah! Whoa!

I can see for miles up here.

Look! A whole herd of Stegosaurus.

I'd recognise those giant backplates anywhere.

Head over there, Pterosaur.

There are Camptosaurus down there, too.

So they do live alongside each other!

Next stop, please!

Thanks for the lift! PTEROSAUR SQUAWKS

Now, all I need to do is wait for a Camptosaurus to call out

and I can record it on my gizmo.

STEGOSAUR GRUNTS

Whoa!

Ho-ho! Careful!

I wouldn't want to get hit with that spiky thagomizer.

I wonder which one will call first.

Hm, maybe not this one. He's too busy eating.

Oh...he's up. He's seen something.

ANDY GASPS

Oh, no. It's that Allosaurus!

And he still looks hungry.

Quick, warn the herd!

CAMPTOSAURUS WAILS Yes!

He's giving an alarm to the rest of the herd. I need to record this.

Come on!

CAMPTOSAURUS WAILS

Whoa!

HE GASPS

The Allosaurus has chased all the Camptosaurus away.

It's a good thing I got my recording when I did.

I'm going to head back to the clock.

GROWLING Oh, no.

He's coming back.

And the Stegosaurus, he's not quick enough to run away from him.

And neither am I.

ALLOSAURUS GROWLS

Now that they've been warned, the Stegosaurus are getting ready

to protect themselves with their spiky thagomizers.

Ooh! Go on, Stegosaurus!

ALLOSAURUS GROANS Ooh! I bet that hurt!

That's it, Allosaurus, off you go.

Oh, maybe that's why Camptosaurus

and Stegosaurus used to live together -

Camptosaurus would act as a lookout and Stegosaurus would provide

protection against the predators.

CLOCK CHIMES

The clock!

Mrs Pickles will be arriving back at the museum any moment now.

Right, time to head back. See you later.

Oh, no!

That hungry Allosaurus is still hanging around.

He's right in between me and the clock.

How am I going to get past him?

My backpack - it's always full of useful things.

Right, what have we got in here?

Earmuffs?

Compass? How's this going to help me? I already know where I'm going.

A dressing gown? What's that doing in here?

Hang on.

That gives me an idea.

GROWLING

Shhh! Oh!

Shhh! It's me, Andy! I'm pretending to be a termite mound.

GROWLING

This is just like Jen's game of hide and seek.

Only, if I lose, I become dinner.

ROARING

GROWLING

Yes! It worked, he's gone.

Time to head back!

BIRDS CHIRP

CLOCK CHIMES

Oof! Oh...

Quick! Mrs Pickles!

-Good morning, Mrs Pickles.

-Morning, Jen.

I'm very excited about the new exhibit.

Would that be the Stegosaurs part or the Camptosaurus part?

-All of it, Jen. All of it!

-Ah...

BEEPING

Uh...the Camptosaurus call might sound a little strange, Mrs Pickles.

CAMPTOSAURUS CALLS

That's amazing!

Where's Andy?

Here I am, Mrs Pickles. So, what do you think?

This is fantastic. Two wonderful displays!

I particularly like the call of the Camptosaurus. Nice touch!

Remind me again, Andy, why did Stegosaurus and Camptosaurus

-live side-by-side?

-Well, they lived side-by-side

to protect each other against predators.

Ah, yes, that's right. Of course.

Is that your dressing gown, Andy?

Uh, yes. Uh...

We were here all night finishing the exhibit. Weren't we, Jen?

Yes. Yes, yes, we were, Mrs Pickles.

Now that's the kind of dedication I like to see.

Well done, you two.

Shhh! See you next time.
