0:00:55 > 0:00:59# Andy's prehistoric adventures! #

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Hi. I'm Andy.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26I work here in the prehistoric gallery of the National Museum.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30I've spent all day working on a display about a giant dinosaur.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Wish he was here to help me now.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34This bag of sand is really heavy.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Oh.- Hi, Andy!- Oh, hi, Jen.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I've got that fan you asked for.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Oh, could you put pop it over there and plug it in for me?- Mm-hm.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Building a desert can be hot work.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Oh, wow! This looks great. - Oh, thanks, Jen.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57These are dinosaurs called Gigantoraptors.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01They lived in the desert around 85 million years ago.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04They kind of look like giant chickens.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Well, actually, Gigantoraptors and chickens are distant relatives.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Oh. Now I'm confused.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14- I thought you said these were dinosaurs, not birds.- I did.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Some dinosaurs turned into birds. It took a long, long time.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Millions and millions of years, in fact.- Oh, wow.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- I'll never look at a chicken in the same way again.- Right.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29- I just need to put this down here. - Oh, what's this?

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Tumbleweed. An ancient plant that likes to roam around the desert.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36- It still exists today. - But plants don't roam, Andy.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38- They're stuck in one place. - This one can.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41It's shaped like a ball so when the wind blows,

0:02:41 > 0:02:45it breaks from its stem and rolls off, scattering its seeds.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47That's why it's called tumbleweed.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Because it tumbles about in the desert.- Exactly.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I borrowed this from Mrs Pickles' plant collection.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55But don't tell her.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- I'm going to surprise her tomorrow morning.- My lips are sealed.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I think I'm going to get back to work.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Yes, and I think I need a blast of that fan.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Right. Come on then, Jen, let's tidy up, then we can go home.- OK.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Huh?

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Oh... Where's the tumbleweed gone?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Well, it must be in here somewhere.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51- We need to find it.- Um...

0:03:56 > 0:04:00What...? Oh, no, that tumbleweed belonged to Mrs Pickles.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03If we've lost it, then she's going to be really upset.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Can we pick some more?

0:04:05 > 0:04:06There's not enough time.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09CLOCK STRIKES

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Time...

0:04:15 > 0:04:18- That's it!- What's it?

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Jen, you stay here and tidy up.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22I'll be back soon with another tumbleweed.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!

0:04:25 > 0:04:26But Andy, how will you...

0:04:28 > 0:04:30..get more tumbleweed?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Waistcoat.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Check!

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Hat.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44Check!

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Backpack.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Check!

0:04:48 > 0:04:50And last but not least, gizmo.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52GIZMO BEEPS

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Check!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09To the time of Gigantoraptor!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh!

0:05:26 > 0:05:27Ah!

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Woohoo!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yes! I'm here.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47I've travelled back in time 85 million years.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51All the way to Mongolia.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54To the time of Gigantoraptor.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57It's hot here. And dry.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Which is the perfect place to find tumbleweed.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10What is that?

0:06:16 > 0:06:18It's a Saurornithoides,

0:06:18 > 0:06:22a meat-eating dinosaur that used to hunt reptiles and mammals.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27I wonder why she's just sitting there.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30Oh!

0:06:32 > 0:06:33She's on her nest.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oh. Now she's burying the eggs.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Probably to keep them safe from predators

0:06:39 > 0:06:41when she goes to get some food.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46The gizmo said she was a meat eater.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49But she seems to be tucking into those palm leaves.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Oh. Oh, that's clever.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58She's using the palm leaves to disguise her nest.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Ha-ha.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh, she's off.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I've never seen a Saurornithoides egg before.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I think I've got time for a quick peek,

0:07:08 > 0:07:12before I go and get the tumbleweed. Come on!

0:07:16 > 0:07:18There we are.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19All safe and sound.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22DINOSAUR GRUNTS

0:07:23 > 0:07:25What's that?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Hm, it's too small to be a Gigantoraptor.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's an Oviraptor, coming this way.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I'd better take cover!

0:07:38 > 0:07:42Oviraptors look like big birds, but they're actually dinosaurs.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45The name Oviraptor means "egg-snatcher".

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Oh, no! He's spotted the nest.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55If he gets under those palm leaves, he'll gobble everything up.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Where's Mum?

0:08:00 > 0:08:03If she doesn't get back soon, her eggs will be gone.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Uh-oh.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Oh, no, he's got one!

0:08:09 > 0:08:11I've got to do something. Um...

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Shoo! Shoo, egg-snatcher!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Go on. Get out of it!

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Shoo!

0:08:26 > 0:08:27OK. Don't worry.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Go on, back to your brothers and sisters.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Well, I'd say that's one "egg-cellent" result.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Look! Tumbleweed.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Come back here, tumbleweed.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Gigantoraptors!

0:08:53 > 0:08:57These are one of my favourite dinosaurs.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Oh, they're incredible, aren't they?

0:09:02 > 0:09:06They're about five metres tall, and eight metres long.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09And they have these huge feathery wings,

0:09:09 > 0:09:11but they're far too big to fly.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17They use those wings to show off to each other.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Oh, I think she's impressed.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Oh, this is beautiful, look!

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Now they're doing a special type of dance

0:09:35 > 0:09:38to show how much they like each other.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Just like birds do in our day.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Oh, I'll show you.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48These cranes dance to show off to each other too,

0:09:48 > 0:09:51just like the Gigantoraptors.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57You see?

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Gigantoraptors really are the ancient relatives of modern birds.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Well, this is all lovely,

0:10:05 > 0:10:08but it's not going to get me my tumbleweed, is it?

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Hang on. There it is!

0:10:18 > 0:10:19Finally!

0:10:19 > 0:10:22I thought I was never going to catch up with it.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Oh, not again!

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Come back!

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Right.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41I give up.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Can't move another...

0:10:46 > 0:10:47step!

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Finally.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Right, I'd better get this in my backpack

0:10:53 > 0:10:56before it decides to go for another tumble.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Right.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01CLOCK STRIKES

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Perfect timing.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Now I can just head back to the museum.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Whoa, what are you doing?

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Aah!

0:11:13 > 0:11:14Oh!

0:11:14 > 0:11:17How am I going to get out of this one?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh! My backpack!

0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's always full of useful things.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Salt?

0:11:26 > 0:11:27No.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Ketchup!

0:11:30 > 0:11:32No.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Pepper!

0:11:33 > 0:11:36How are these things going to help me?

0:11:36 > 0:11:39I'm not having a picnic!

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Unless... I've got an idea!

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Pepper's also good for making Gigantoraptor...

0:11:45 > 0:11:48SNEEZE!

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Whoa!

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Ah!

0:11:56 > 0:11:57Ugh!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Gigantoraptor snot!

0:12:02 > 0:12:05And I haven't got enough time to clean myself up.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Time to head back!

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Quick! Mrs Pickles!

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Jen!- Oh, Andy, thank goodness you're here!

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Mrs Pickles will be here any second.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47What's that on you?

0:12:47 > 0:12:52Um... Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53Morning, you two.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56BOTH: Morning, Mrs Pickles.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Oh, what a lovely display.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02The perfect setting for those two Gigantoraptors.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Oh, and is that my tumbleweed?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07It looks right at home in that desert.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Nice and hot and dry. You don't look very dry, though, Andy.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- What is that you're covered in? - Um...

0:13:14 > 0:13:18Even if he told you, Mrs Pickles, you wouldn't believe him.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26See you next time. Shh!

0:13:41 > 0:13:42One, two, three, four!

0:13:42 > 0:13:45# Andy's prehistoric adventures

0:13:45 > 0:13:49# Andy's prehistoric adventures! #
