0:00:25 > 0:00:27Yeah, you can come, too.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30We will see woolly mammoths, dinosaurs, cavemen and more
0:00:30 > 0:00:33when I jump into the old museum's clock to explore.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36"Take me off to prehistoric times," I say.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hold on tight, shut your eyes and then we fly away.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40One, two, three, four!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13HE WHISTLES
0:01:14 > 0:01:16DOOR LOCKS
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Hi, I'm Andy. I work here at the National Museum.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And I'm putting together a display
0:01:35 > 0:01:38all about a supersized prehistoric animal.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42You won't believe what I've got in this box! Come on, I'll show you.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Hi, Jen.- Oh, hello, Andy.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Ooo, what's in the box? - Something very special.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Sloth dung!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Dung?! You mean...poo?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- That's right. - Urgh, Andy, that's disgusting.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Oh, it doesn't pong any more. Look, smell.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05SHE SNIFFS See?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Mrs Pickles found it in a desert cave. It's over 10,000 years old.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12A sloth, just like this...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- left it there.- Fascinating(!)
0:02:15 > 0:02:18But what would Mrs Pickles want with some dried-up old sloth poo?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22You can find a lot out about an animal from its dung.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26For example, this particular sloth was called Nothrotheriops
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and its dung is full of seeds from desert plants.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- That's how we know what it liked to eat.- That's very clever.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, speaking of clever,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38did you manage to make the computer model I asked for?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I certainly did. Let me show you.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48There you go, one sloth.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Ah... Well, this is a fully sized sloth today.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- But the prehistoric sloths were much bigger than this.- Really?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- How much bigger? - Well, Nothrotheriops was...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04bigger than me. About 2½ metres tall when standing up.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Some other species of sloth were even bigger than that.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10In that case, I need to recalculate.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19That's better, look at that! A fully sized Nothrotheriops.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Mrs Pickles will be very impressed.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26THEY BOTH SNIFF
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Can you smell something? - Yeah, it smells a little...
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Pooey!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34No! What's happened to the dung?!
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Oh... What're we going to do?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Um, we could get some cow dung from a farm?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42No, Mrs Pickles will know the difference.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44It needs to be prehistoric Nothrotheriops dung!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Well, we definitely won't find that at the farm.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm afraid we're out of luck this time.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54CLOCK CHIMES
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Time!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Jen, that's it, you stay here, I'll go find us some Nothrotheriops dung!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Time to go on a Prehistoric Adventure!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08But, Andy...
0:04:08 > 0:04:12where are you going to find prehistoric poo?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Waistcoat, hat, backpack, gizmo.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37To the time of Nothrotheriops!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39CLOCK WHIRLS FRANTICALLY
0:04:47 > 0:04:54HE YELLS EXCITEDLY
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I've made it!
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I've travelled back in time 15,000 years to the time of Nothrotheriops.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18And I've landed in the perfect place to spot giant sloths!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Look at this view.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I might have to find another way down, though. It's a bit steep.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27LOUD GROWL
0:05:28 > 0:05:30HE GASPS
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It's OK, kitty cat, come on now... HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
0:05:33 > 0:05:35CAT ROARS
0:05:36 > 0:05:42Oh...! HE YELLS
0:05:48 > 0:05:49CAT ROARS IN DISTANCE
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Well, that's one way of escaping a sabre-toothed cat!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56They were the top predators of their time.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00So I think it's a good idea if I stay as far away as possible
0:06:00 > 0:06:02from their sharp, pointy teeth.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I think I'll look over here for a Nothrotheriops.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Uh-oh! It's that sabre-toothed cat again!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Oh, that is one persistent pussycat. Um...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I'll hide behind those rocks over there.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34LOW RUMBLE
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Sh, something's coming!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39And it sounds much bigger than the sabre-toothed cat.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40LOUD TRUMPETING
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Whoa!
0:06:42 > 0:06:47It's the Columbian mammoth! What a whopper!
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Right, mammoths stayed safe from predators by living
0:06:52 > 0:06:53together in herds.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Maybe I'll join them until the sabre-toothed cat goes away.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Excuse me! Can I have a lift?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I may be safe riding with the mammoths,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16but I still need to find some Nothrotheriops poo.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Nope. No sign of the sabre-toothed cat.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30But there's a desert over there,
0:07:30 > 0:07:34the perfect place to find some dried-up dung!
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Right, time to get off. LOUD TRUMPETING
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Whoa!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Thanks a lot, mammoths!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, wow, it's really hot here.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57If I don't find that dung soon, I'M going to dry out.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Hang on a minute!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Yes! It's a Nothrotheriops!
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Exactly like the sloths in our time, only a lot bigger.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Look, he's having something to eat.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17That's good. Now all I need to do is follow him
0:08:17 > 0:08:20and when he goes to the toilet, I'll have my dung!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Oh, no! It's that sabre-toothed cat again!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Doesn't he ever give up?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41SLOTH ROARS
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Be careful!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yes!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52SLOTH ROARS
0:08:52 > 0:08:54These giant sloths may be slow,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58but they're still quick enough to see off a sabre-toothed cat.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Thanks, Nothrotheriops!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm safe now.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Where's he off to? Hang on!
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I think he's heading for that cave up there. Cave...
0:09:16 > 0:09:20That's where Mrs Pickles said that she found the dung! Come on!
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Oh, there is an almighty pong in here! It must be the dung!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48LOUD GRUMBLING What was that?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Oh, I hope it's not the sabre-toothed cat again!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55LOUD SNORING
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Oh, look! HE LAUGHS
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's a snoring sloth!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04He must have tired himself out walking up here.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Right...
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I need to find some... LOUD SQUELCH
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Oh, yuck!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Whoa!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21That is one big pile of plop! Eurgh!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, hang on. This piece is dried out!
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Yes! This will be perfect for the display.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36CLOCK BELL CHIMES
0:10:38 > 0:10:42The clock! Oh, no, I've got to get back to the museum,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Mrs Pickles will be arriving any moment!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I'll just pop this in my bag.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Oh... The clock is all the way up there!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00How am I going to get there in time?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Think...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05My backpack! It's always full of useful things.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Right, what have we got in here?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11What's this? Hair curlers.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Oh, these aren't mine... HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Pencil case!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Extra thick honey.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Extra thick honey.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Extra sticky honey...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Extra sticky honey!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37That gives me an idea!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Oh...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I put the honey on the bottom of my shoes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55This stuff really is sticky!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Ah, right!
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Oh, no! I'm stuck!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Right, let's try that again!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Time to head back!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27CLOCK CHIMES Oh, Mrs Pickles!

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Why haven't you got your boots on?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01No time to explain. Mrs Pickles is on her way.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- We need to get everything ready!- OK.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Oh, I say!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20What a marvellous display.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Nothrotheriops, if I'm not mistaken. - That's right, Mrs Pickles!
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Oh, and you found a spot for the prehistoric poo I collected.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32You'd never think it was over 10,000 years old.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34It looks almost fresh!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43You might want to put your boots back on, Andy.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I think your socks are a bit whiffy!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50(Sh! See you next time!)
