0:00:59 > 0:01:01OWL HOOTS

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hi, I'm Andy and I work in the prehistoric gallery

0:01:23 > 0:01:25here at the National Museum.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30I've spent all day building a nest for one of my favourite dinosaurs.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33I've got a few more bits to add and then I'm finished.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Hi, Jen.- Hi, Andy.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42One here...

0:01:43 > 0:01:45..and here.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47There you go.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Right... So, what do you think?

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Pretty EGG-cellent, eh?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yes, but what EGGS-actly is it?

0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Well, it's a nest, of course. - Ah. But these eggs are massive.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02The bird that these belong to must've been enormous.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05As tall as a house but it wasn't a bird,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08it was a dinosaur called Gigantoraptor.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12It laid one of the largest eggs of any animal ever.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Wow, that's amazing!

0:02:15 > 0:02:17What's the feather for, then?

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Oh! Mrs Pickles made this.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23It's a model of what she thinks a Gigantoraptor feather

0:02:23 > 0:02:26might have looked like. It's good, isn't it?

0:02:26 > 0:02:27Very good but I thought that

0:02:27 > 0:02:31you said that the Gigantoraptor was a dinosaur, not a bird.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35I did. Some dinosaurs had feathers too, you know, just like birds.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Come on, I'll show you.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Done.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00This is a fossil of a Microraptor,

0:03:00 > 0:03:05one of the earliest feathered dinosaurs to be found.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08They think they may've used their feathers to fly

0:03:08 > 0:03:10just like modern-day birds.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13So could a Gigantoraptor fly as well?

0:03:13 > 0:03:18No, they were too heavy and too big to fly but they did have feathers.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Wow, that's incredible!- That's why I've put the beautiful feather

0:03:22 > 0:03:25that Mrs Pickles made on the display.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Andy...- Mm-hm?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- It's not quite as beautiful as I remember it.- Hm?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Oh, no! What happened?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- What am I going to do now? - We can make another one?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I don't even know how Mrs Pickles made this one.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00There's just not enough time. CLOCK CHIMES

0:04:03 > 0:04:05SQUAWKING

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Time...

0:04:08 > 0:04:09That's it!

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Jen, you stay here and make sure nothing else goes wrong.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15I'll get another Gigantoraptor feather.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Andy, where are you going?

0:04:25 > 0:04:26Waistcoat, hat,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29backpack and last but not least, gizmo.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Check!

0:04:44 > 0:04:46To the time of Gigantoraptor!

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Wahoo!

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Whoa!

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Wahoo!

0:05:14 > 0:05:17I've made it!

0:05:17 > 0:05:20I've travelled back in time 85 million years.

0:05:22 > 0:05:28All the way to Mongolia to the time of Gigantoraptor.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32And it looks like I have landed in the middle of a desert.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Not much going on here.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35SQUAWKING

0:05:35 > 0:05:38But I can hear something. Listen.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40SQUAWKING

0:05:40 > 0:05:44And it seems to be coming from over that sand dune. Come on!

0:05:55 > 0:05:58It's really hot walking up these sand dunes.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01I just hope there's a quicker way...

0:06:01 > 0:06:02down!

0:06:05 > 0:06:08ANDY COUGHS

0:06:09 > 0:06:15Well, it was certainly easier than getting up.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Oh!

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Hey, look!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Oviraptors.

0:06:22 > 0:06:27According to my gizmo, Oviraptors were a kind of dinosaur

0:06:27 > 0:06:30that loved eating other dinosaurs' eggs.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Maybe if I followed them,

0:06:34 > 0:06:37they'll lead me to the nest of a Gigantoraptor.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40And hopefully I can get my feather.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Hey! Wait for me!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53I hope these Oviraptors know where they're going

0:06:53 > 0:06:55because I certainly don't.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59That doesn't seem to be any kind of Gigantoraptor anywhere.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Uh-oh!

0:07:03 > 0:07:05GROWLING

0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's an Alectrosaurus.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10A cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex,

0:07:10 > 0:07:14who loved nothing more than a delicious meaty meal.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Oh, thankfully it didn't notice me.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Oh, wait for me!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37If you thought the Alectrosaurus was big,

0:07:37 > 0:07:40take a look at what we've just found.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42It's a mother Gigantoraptor.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46And she's on her nest.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51Ooh, she's not too happy about the Oviraptors being here.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Oh, look at the size of her!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57And her feathers.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04They look just like the one that Mrs Pickles made.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Whoa! Easy now, Gigantoraptor.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I'm not after your eggs.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13I'm just after a stray...

0:08:13 > 0:08:17GIGANTORAPTOR ROARS

0:08:17 > 0:08:19..feather.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Never get too close to a mum looking after her eggs.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25She can get very angry.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Oh...

0:08:26 > 0:08:30She's not the only one that looks after the nest.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31The dad does too.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh!

0:08:39 > 0:08:43It says here that Gigantoraptor eggs took up to 80 days to hatch,

0:08:43 > 0:08:46that's far too long for one parent to sit all alone

0:08:46 > 0:08:49without anything to eat.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Especially with hungry Alectrosaurus walking around.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Quick, get down!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02There's two of them!

0:09:06 > 0:09:07I think they've seen us!

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Go get 'em!

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Watch out behind you!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Ouch!

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Wow!

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Gigantoraptor kung fu. Hiyah!

0:09:38 > 0:09:43Well done, Dad! That'll teach you to do mess with a Gigantoraptor.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Oh, no!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52An Oviraptor. Quick, come back!

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Quick, before he gets your eggs!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Phew! Safe and sound.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15And even better, look!

0:10:15 > 0:10:16A feather.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yes! It must've fallen off

0:10:20 > 0:10:23when he was fighting the Alectrosaurus.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Ooh, this wind is picking up. I better get back to the clock quick.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Wouldn't want to get caught in a sandstorm.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34See you later, Gigantoraptor! Thanks for the feather.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44This is ridiculous! I can't see anything.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49I can't even see where the clock is.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Oh, at last! It's clearing up.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01CLOCK CHIMES

0:11:01 > 0:11:04And I can see the clock.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08As long as I can get to it, I'm sure I'll be fine.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Oh, no!

0:11:10 > 0:11:11I'm stuck too!

0:11:14 > 0:11:19What am I going to do? I've got to get back to the museum!

0:11:19 > 0:11:23My backpack. It's always full of useful things.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29A map,

0:11:29 > 0:11:31a water bottle,

0:11:31 > 0:11:33what's this?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38A mini vacuum cleaner?

0:11:38 > 0:11:40What's that doing in there?

0:11:42 > 0:11:46Hmm, I wonder...

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Put the feather back in the backpack to keep it safe

0:11:50 > 0:11:52and I'll have a good old clean-up.

0:11:52 > 0:11:57ANDY HUMS

0:12:02 > 0:12:04There, that should do it.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06All right, here goes...

0:12:16 > 0:12:17It worked!

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Time to head back!

0:12:25 > 0:12:28CLOCK CHIMES

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Mrs Pickles, quick!

0:12:40 > 0:12:44- Good morning, Mrs Pickles. - Good morning, Jen.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53I'm on my way to see the new Gigantoraptor display.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56I made a feather for it, you know.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Ah, hello, Andy. - Good morning, Mrs Pickles.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18Oh, what a terrific Gigantoraptor nest.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23And my feather looks wonderful there. So realistic.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26You might want to use a bit less sand next time, Andy,

0:13:26 > 0:13:28you've got it everywhere.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Sorry, Mrs Pickles, I got a bit carried away.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Shh! See you next time.
