0:01:04 > 0:01:06HE WHISTLES
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Hi, I'm Andy. I'm in charge of the prehistoric gallery
0:01:26 > 0:01:28at the National Museum.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I'm working on a display about an enormous sea creature.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I've got a few more things to put in place then I'm finished.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Hi, Andy.- Hi, Jen.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- I think I've worked out what this new display is.- Go on.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49It's the tail fluke of a whale.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Yes, how did you know?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Easy, I calculated the dimensions
0:01:54 > 0:01:58then cross referenced the results with the museum's online index.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Right. And that means...?- I looked it up on the internet.- Oh. Ha-ha!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06But, Andy, why a whale display in the prehistoric gallery?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Aren't whales are still around today?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Yes, but this is the tail of a prehistoric whale
0:02:12 > 0:02:13called a Basilosaurus.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Oh, I see. So, why have you got these bumps on it?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Well, these bumps are called barnacle shells -
0:02:20 > 0:02:24tiny marine creatures that live on the skin of whales.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Mrs Pickles gave me these. - Oh, fascinating.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Oh, Andy, I know something else about whales.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Go on.- Some of them like to sing. - You're right.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35# La-la-la-la-la. #
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Maybe not like that though.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Ha-ha! These are humpback whales.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42They communicate by singing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Their songs are one of the loudest in the animal kingdom.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Would you like to hear one? - Yes, please.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'll just access the museum's PA system.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54WHALE SONG PLAYS
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Whoa.- Oh.- Oh, whoa.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Oh, turn it off, Jen. - Pretty loud, eh?- Ah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Too loud. Ah, look, it's shaken off the barnacle shells.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Be careful. We don't want to break them.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14These are the only ones we have. We can just stick them back on.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- I need stronger glue though. - Don't worry.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19There's some glue in the store cupboard.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21OK, come on, let's take a look.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- There are lots of types of whale. - Really?- Big blue whale,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27sperm whale, even the great Jen whale.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Really?- Only kidding.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35CRACK
0:03:36 > 0:03:38CRACK
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Huh?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57The barnacles, they've gone.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- What's happened?- Oh, no, Mrs Pickles is not going to be happy.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04They were the only ones we had.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06We can go to the seaside for more.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Mrs Pickles is coming early tomorrow morning.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10There's not enough time.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12CLOCK CHIMES
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'll make time.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Jen, you stay here. I'll go get some more barnacles.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Time to go on a prehistoric adventure.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Andy? Where's he always going off by himself? Oh.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Waistcoat, hat, backpack, gizmo.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58To the time of Basilosaurus.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15HE CHEERS
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I've landed in a mangrove swamp.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Oh!
0:05:34 > 0:05:38But how far have I travelled back in time?
0:05:38 > 0:05:4036 million years,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42to the time of Basilosaurus.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Hmm, my feet are soaking wet.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I should have worn my wellies. Ha!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52SCREECHING What's that?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Oh.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00That noisy bunch are called apidium,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02prehistoric primates.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Well, they know how to keep their feet dry.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Maybe I should join them.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Arg! I just need to get that little bit higher. Ooh, ah!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Whoa! Oh. Ah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26That's better. Now I can look for some barnacles
0:06:26 > 0:06:28without getting wet.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Oh, it's a fantastic view up here. Ooh.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Huh?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Well, I can't see any barnacles but I can see something.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It looks like a Basilosaurus.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Oh, but it's too little.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53According to my gizmo,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56it's a Dorudon, a small prehistoric whale
0:06:56 > 0:06:59that used to be hunted by Basilosaurus.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Well, if I follow him, hopefully, I'll be able to find
0:07:03 > 0:07:07a Basilosaurus and replace the barnacles that Mrs Pickles gave me.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Right...
0:07:09 > 0:07:13so, it looks like I'm going to get wet after all.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I'm going to need my scuba helmet.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Excuse me.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Look out below. Whoa.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Now, where's those Dorudon?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33They were here somewhere.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41There!
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Wait for me!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Fantastic, there are loads of them.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58And where there are Dorudon, there has to be...
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Basilosaurus!
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Oh, what a stonking, great, big whale. Oh.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'm going to grab onto their tail.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I don't want to get gobbled up by mistake.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I've got to time this just right.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Ready...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26..almost there,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28nearly...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Now!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Whoa! Hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's a bit of a wavy, bumpy ride...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43..but it's a brilliant.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Woohoo! Oh, hang on, barnacles.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55These would be perfect for the display.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Urg!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I just can't get them off.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Huh? What's she doing? Urg!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14She's having a scratch on the seabed.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Brilliant.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23She's scratched off all the barnacles.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Brilliant. Perfect for my display.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45CLOCK CHIMES
0:09:49 > 0:09:52The clock. It's just in time to head back to the museum.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Basilosaurus.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Huh? Oh, no, I've been carried miles away from land.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16How am I going to get back to the clock?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24He-hello? Basilosaurus?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27You couldn't give me a lift back to dry land?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31It's no good. She can't understand me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Hang on. Whales communicate in song.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37If I play the song of a humpback whale from my gizmo,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39it should get her attention.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44WHALE SONG PLAYS
0:10:47 > 0:10:51It's no good. It's too quiet.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56What am I going to do? My backpack is always full of useful things.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01A spade? No.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07A flask? What?
0:11:15 > 0:11:16A funnel?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18How is this going to help me?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Unless...I could use this as a megaphone.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27That should work. I hope, anyway.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29WHALE SONG PLAYS
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's working. She's coming.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40She's coming straight for me. Whoa!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Woohoo!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Ah. Going up.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Whoaaaaa!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Oh!
0:12:01 > 0:12:05That was, like, the best fairground ride ever. Oh.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Time to head back.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Jen, wake up.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47What? Where? Who? Andy?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Have you been swimming?- No time to explain. Mrs Pickles is on her way.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Where's that glue?- Oh, the glue, yeah.- Brilliant.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- I've got the barnacles. We just need to stick them on.- OK.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Hello, you two.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I thought I'd pop in to check on the new display.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Oh, that's magnificent.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18A full-size Basilosaurus tail.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Ooh, and I see you've added the barnacles I gave you, Andy.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Did you know that whales like Basilosaurus probably scraped off
0:13:27 > 0:13:31the barnacles by rubbing their bodies along the sandy seabed?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Er, yes, I've heard that before, Mrs Pickles.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44See you next time.
