0:01:04 > 0:01:06HE WHISTLES

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Hi! I'm Andy. I'm in charge of the Prehistoric Gallery

0:01:23 > 0:01:24here at the National Museum.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27We're putting the final touches on a new display

0:01:27 > 0:01:30about some truly massive animals.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Come on, I'll show you.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Hi, Jen.- Oh, hi, Andy.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43I've got the projector working, but I'm not sure the data is right.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45These footprints look really strange.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48That's because the feet that made them

0:01:48 > 0:01:52- belong to prehistoric animals that don't exist now.- Ah, I see!

0:01:52 > 0:01:55I wanted to show the visitors how big their feet were

0:01:55 > 0:01:58by comparing their own foot size. See?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01That's a great idea, Andy!

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Oh, hang on. I've forgotten to add the Paraceratherium footprint.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07The Paracera...what?

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Paraceratherium. The largest land mammals to have ever lived.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13I told Mrs Pickles I'd add them to the display.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17How can I forget something as big as a Paraceratherium?

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Probably all those syllables.- Yeah.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I stored the footprint on my laptop somewhere.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25There we go.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Taller than a double-decker bus, and heavier than five rhinoceroses

0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Five rhinos? Whoa, it was a whopper! - It was.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Now, we just need to load it up to your projector

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- and we're finished.- Great.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Ah! Hello, you two. - BOTH: Evening, Mrs Pickles.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Just checking in on the new footprint display.- Oh, yes.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51- It will all be finished by tomorrow morning.- I can't wait!

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Don't forget the Paraceratherium footprint.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's one of my favourite animals.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- We were just about to add it to the display now.- Excellent.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I knew I could count on you both. - BOTH: Always!

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- See you tomorrow. - Goodnight, Mrs Pickles!

0:03:05 > 0:03:09All right, we need to sort that footprint out.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Oh!

0:03:12 > 0:03:14On three, ready?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17One...two...three.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21LAPTOP BEEPS

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Oh, no, my laptop!

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Um...

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Oh, no, it looks like the primary storage drive

0:03:33 > 0:03:37and the secondary backup mechanism have been corrupted.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Does that mean it's...? - Broken. I'm afraid so.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Where will we find a scan

0:03:42 > 0:03:45- of a Paraceratherium footprint by tomorrow morning?- Um...

0:03:45 > 0:03:48We could add five rhino footprints together!

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Mrs Pickles would know the difference.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54We'd better think fast. We're running out of time.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56CLOCK CHIMES

0:03:59 > 0:04:01SQUAWKING

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Time!

0:04:03 > 0:04:07That's it! Jen, you stay here and find another laptop.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'll be back soon with another scan.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!

0:04:13 > 0:04:19Andy, where are you going to find a Para-ther-mor...thingy?

0:04:26 > 0:04:31Waistcoat, hat, backpack and, last but not least, gizmo!

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Check!

0:04:45 > 0:04:48To the time of Paraceratherium!

0:04:49 > 0:04:52WHIRRING

0:04:58 > 0:05:00BOOM!

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Woohoo!

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Aaahhhh!

0:05:08 > 0:05:09Woohoo!

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Whoa! Whoa!

0:05:17 > 0:05:21I've made it! Well, I almost didn't.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25I travelled back in time 30 million years

0:05:25 > 0:05:28to the time of Paraceratherium.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33And I'm in Mongolia, a part of Asia.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37So this is where Paraceratherium used to live.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38Oh!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42What a view! DISTANT SQUAWKING

0:05:42 > 0:05:46OK, I need to find that footprint and scan it with my gizmo.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Hang on...

0:05:52 > 0:05:54That! Paraceratherium!

0:05:54 > 0:05:57A mother and a calf.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01All right. We need to get to the bottom of this canyon

0:06:01 > 0:06:04so I can join them. Um...

0:06:04 > 0:06:06All right.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15WIND HOWLS Crikey! It's a long way down.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I'd better be careful.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Whoa! My hat!

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Oh!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Oh! I took so long climbing down from there

0:06:32 > 0:06:35that the Paraceratherium have just gone.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38I can't see any footprints that I can scan.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's too dry and dusty.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42My hat!

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Oh! Here it is.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50Hmm, and it looks like something very large has trodden on it.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56I wonder where they've gone. I'll try this way.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02What's that behind the tree?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04SNORTS

0:07:04 > 0:07:07It's the baby Paraceratherium!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09SNORTS

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Oh, sorry. Come back!

0:07:12 > 0:07:13Oh, well.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15The babies are pretty big.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19But I need a footprint from a fully-sized Paraceratherium.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Like the mother.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Um...

0:07:22 > 0:07:24FAINT ROAR

0:07:24 > 0:07:27That didn't sound too far away.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31HE PANTS

0:07:33 > 0:07:35The watering hole.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39I'm sure that this is where the roar came from.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Hang on. What's that down there?

0:07:44 > 0:07:49A family of Amphicyonidae. They are having a drink!

0:07:50 > 0:07:52They are also known as bear dogs -

0:07:52 > 0:07:56carnivores that existed for millions of years.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57Wow!

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Look, it's the mother Paraceratherium!

0:08:02 > 0:08:04SHE GROWLS

0:08:04 > 0:08:07BEAR DOG WHINES

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Oh, so that's what she was doing.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12She's coming to the watering hole for a drink.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15The mud down by the water will be a perfect place

0:08:15 > 0:08:17for me to get a clear footprint.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24SQUELCHING

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Look at this!

0:08:26 > 0:08:30There are loads of great footprints here, and they're enormous!

0:08:30 > 0:08:33What was that? GRUNTING

0:08:34 > 0:08:37It's a terror pig.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Oh. Not a very friendly character at all.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43I need to get my scan before he notices me.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46All right, shouldn't take long.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48SQUELCHING

0:08:50 > 0:08:53There we go.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Excellent. All done.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57SCREECHING

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Oh, no. He's snuck up on me!

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Easy now. Easy!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04SNORTING AND SCREECHING

0:09:04 > 0:09:06What? Hang on a minute!

0:09:06 > 0:09:08They're not after me.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Terror pigs are very territorial.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13They're fighting to see who's boss.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Oh!

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh, what a battle!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20SCREECHING

0:09:23 > 0:09:25HE SPITS Oh!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's over.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Now the loser is off to lick his wounds,

0:09:34 > 0:09:39which leaves this terror pig to turn his attention back to...

0:09:39 > 0:09:41back to me!

0:09:41 > 0:09:43GROWLS Oh, no.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46How am I going to get out of this one? Um...

0:09:46 > 0:09:50The Paraceratherium! She's not threatened by a terror pig.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54SCREECHES

0:09:54 > 0:09:57If I stay with her, I should be safe.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59You don't mind, do you?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01TERROR PIG SNORTS

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Whoa! Ho-ho. And I'm up!

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Thanks, old girl.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12SHE ROARS Whoa! And we're off!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Pff! Phew!

0:10:46 > 0:10:51Aw! The baby has been waiting for a while for a feed,

0:10:51 > 0:10:55and now Mum has come along he can have a nice drink of milk.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00CLOCK CHIMES

0:11:01 > 0:11:06The clock! Mrs Pickles will be making her way to the display!

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Oh, but the clock is all the way up there.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11How am I going to get back in time?

0:11:11 > 0:11:16Um...my backpack! It's always full of useful things.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20Scarf?

0:11:22 > 0:11:23Um...

0:11:34 > 0:11:36It's a ladder!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43It's a big ladder.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Whoa.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Oh. This ladder is never going to be tall enough

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Oh, Mrs Pickles!

0:12:38 > 0:12:42Morning, Jen. I'm off to see the new display.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I want to compare foot sizes with a Paraceratherium.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51I need to load it into the projector.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Laptop! Nice one, Jen.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Wouldn't you prefer to start with the smallest foot size

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- and work your way up? - No, straight to the biggest for me!

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Quickly. Come on!

0:13:05 > 0:13:09I wonder what shoe size a Paraceratherium would have been.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11BEEP Great.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Oh, dear.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19No footprints. That's a shame.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Oh.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Oh, marvellous!

0:13:25 > 0:13:29Oh, my goodness!

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Look at the size of that Paraceratherium footprint!

0:13:32 > 0:13:35You wouldn't think a foot that size

0:13:35 > 0:13:37once stomped across the earth.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40You wouldn't believe what I went through to get it.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42See you next time!
