HE WHISTLES

Hello, my name is Andy, and I work here at the National Museum.

We've got a new exhibit starting tomorrow about a true

giant of the prehistoric world. Would you like to see it?

Come on, then, I'll show you.

Hello, Jen. Why is it so hot in here?

The heating has gone wrong.

It is stuck...on full power.

-Well, that wouldn't have been a problem for this dinosaur.

-Really?

-Why?

-Well...

JEN STRUGGLES

-Ah, thanks, Andy.

-This is a Spinosaurus.

They used to live in the steamy swamps of North Africa.

-100 million years ago.

-But that's not a Spinosaurus.

-It hasn't got any spines.

-These are the spines.

I found them in the storeroom.

I think they've been there for a while.

JEN SNEEZES

I better put this on the model. I wouldn't want to break it.

There we go. The spines were used to control their temperatures

-so they wouldn't get so hot.

-They would be useful in here today, then.

-I'm roasting.

-Of course, they were much bigger than this in real life.

Spinosaurus was the largest carnivore to ever walk the planet.

Even bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex.

I would love to have a full-size version in here.

-You'd never get it through the door, though.

-Don't worry, Andy.

I've got a solution for that. Come on.

I scanned every fossil of a Spinosaurus ever discovered to

create a full-size computer model.

I've got it stored here on this data stick.

All I have to do is download the link onto my computer

and we'll have a full-size Spinosaurus standing right here.

Jen, that's amazing.

It's funny how something so big can fit into something so small.

-HE SNEEZES

-Ah! Uh!

Oh, no. Oh. Sorry.

Don't worry, Andy. These things are pretty tough.

I'm sure it will still work.

Downloading link.

COMPUTER BEEPS

Come on.

Behold the mighty Spinosaurus.

Oh. I guess the data stick must be

broken after all.

And I told Mrs Pickles we would have something spectacular to show her.

-Can you fix it?

-I would have to rescan all the fossils.

There isn't enough time.

CLOCK CHIMES

SQUAWKING

Time. That's it. Jen, you stay here, try sort the heating out.

I'll be back soon with a new scan of a Spinosaurus.

Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!

But, Andy, where are you going to find a...

Spinosaurus?

Waistcoat. Hat. Backpack, gizmo.

To the time of Spinosaurus!

Woohoo! Ah!!!

Woohoo!

ROAR

Whoa!

ROAR

I've definitely travelled back 100 million years to North Africa.

That is a Carcharodontosaurus.

Another huge predator dinosaur that lived at the same

time as Spinosaurus. ROAR

I think I better get out of here.

Maybe there's a Spinosaurus in this forest.

Wow, look. A herd of Ouranosaurus.

No need to be scared, though, they eat plants, not people.

Hello.

Oh, no. The Carcharodontosaurus has followed me.

I'm much too small to out run a big dinosaur like that. Um.

Hmm!

But these Ouranosaurus aren't.

Maybe I can catch a ride.

Hello!

Um, excuse me.

There's a hungry Carcharodontosaurus creeping up on us.

Ya! Ya! Whoa! Whoa!

Head for that mist - he won't be able to spot us in there! Woohoo!

Whoa!

GROWLING

Ah!

Ah! Good. I think we've lost him.

Well done, you lot. Good job.

Look down there.

It's a Spinosaurus footprint. Ho-ho!

Imagine how big it must be.

I wonder if Spinosaurus likes to hunt Ouranosaurus.

I'm going to stick with him, see if one turns up.

This swampy forest is really hot and sticky.

I could do with a nice cold shower.

They don't seem to mind the heat, though.

And neither does he!

It's a Spinosaurus at last.

Whoa. And he's massive!

Right. I just need to get close enough to scan it with my gizmo.

Hey. Where is he off to?

Guess he's not hunting these Ouranosaurus after all.

Come on, let's follow him.

Oh!

It can be hot work keeping up with a Spinosaurus.

I think he must be hot, too. Look, he's stopped for a drink.

I still don't know how I'm going to get close enough to get my scan.

Without ending up as dinner.

Whoa! Look.

It didn't stop for a drink, it stopped to go fishing. Of course.

Spinosaurus didn't just hunt on land, they hunted in the water, too.

Hmm! That gives me an idea.

I may not be able to sneak up on a Spinosaurus on dry land,...

..but underwater, it's a different story.

Oh! This is a great way to keep cool.

Right, just need to wait for Spinosaurus to go for a swim.

Oh, here he comes. Now's my chance. Ready.

Got it!

Goodbye, Spinosaurus!

CLOCK CHIMES

The clock. Oh, no.

Mrs Pickles will be arriving at the museum to see the exhibit.

I need to get back, and fast!

Wow. It's so hot. Look.

I've almost dried off.

And it is starting to get really steamy now.

How am I going to be able to find the clock

if I can't see where I'm going? Um...

Think...

My backpack!

It's always full of useful things.

Wooden spoon. Hmm.

Phone charger?

What's this?

Jen's fan? Hang on.

Maybe I can use the fan to blow the steam away.

It's got to be worth a try.

BUZZING

No, it's not strong enough.

But if I connect it to my gizmo, then I should have enough power.

OK. Full power.

Here goes.

BUZZING

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh!

Whoa! Ha-ha! Whoa!

Look, it's the clock! Ha-ha!

Oh, look, the power lead has come loose. Uh?

Whoa...!

Oh, no, Mrs Pickles!

-Good morning, Mrs Pickles.

-Good morning, Jen.

Ah, Jen, I'm very excited to see

what this big surprise is you've got for me.

Finished.

Actually, Mrs Pickles, it might not be that big after all.

Hello, Andy.

Ah, I see you found the old Spinosaurus model

from the store room.

But where's your spectacular surprise, Jen?

Uh, it's OK, Jen, you can show Mrs Pickles.

Oh! Another Spinosaurus.

Incredible. What a fantastic addition to the museum.

Well done, you two. It's just as big as a real one.

Although, if you were this close to a real Spinosaurus,

you'd be in hot water.

Actually, it was rather cold. See you next time.
