0:01:16 > 0:01:19ANDY WHISTLES
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Hi, I'm Andy and I work here at the National Museum.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Today, I've been making a display all about the tiny,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38prehistoric animal called a Leptictidium.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42I brought a juicy-looking fruit, in case it gets hungry.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh, hi, Jen.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Oh, hello, Andy.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Oh, wow! What's that?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59This? It's a Leptictidium.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Not that, that.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, it's a fig.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Mm. I thought so.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I love figs. They're delicious. I don't suppose I could, erm...
0:02:07 > 0:02:09You're not going to want to try that, Jen.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13It's a model of a prehistoric fig that grew 50 million years ago.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- I made it using paper, water and glue.- Paper, water and glue?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Yuck! Who'd want to eat that? - Well, no-one.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24But Leptictidiums, they used to eat the REAL prehistoric figs.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Come on, I'll show you.- OK.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'll just put this down here.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Wow.- They were small, furry mammals, that used to
0:02:33 > 0:02:36roam around the forests of Europe, searching for food.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40It looks a bit like a tiny kangaroo.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Well, that's why scientists believe
0:02:42 > 0:02:44they were very good at jumping,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- especially when chasing after lizards.- Oh, lizards.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- It ate them, too? - Yes. Leptictidium were omnivores,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54which means they ate all kinds of things.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57So, I've included lots of their favourite foods on here.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Lizards, insects, plants.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04I just have to add the prehistoric fig and I'm finished.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Then, we can go and get some food of our own.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Oh, no!
0:03:10 > 0:03:11My fig, it's ruined!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I needed that to finish the display.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I wanted it to be just perfect for Mrs Pickles when she comes tomorrow.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Erm, we could stick it back together?- Oh, I doubt it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I know! You could go and pick a real one.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26A real one?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Jen, it's prehistoric.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30If I wanted a real one
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I'd have to go back in time 15 million years.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34CLOCK CHIMES
0:03:37 > 0:03:38PTEROSAUR SQUAWKS
0:03:41 > 0:03:42That's it!
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Jen, you're a genius.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47You go and get yourself some food, I'll be back soon with a new fig.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Time to go on a prehistoric adventure!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Erm, Andy, shall I get you something to eat?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Don't worry!
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Waistcoat, gizmo,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08hat, backpack.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20To the time of Leptictidium.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54I made it!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I've travelled back in time 15 million years.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03All the way to somewhere in Europe, to the time of Leptictidium.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Now, all I have to do is find one and then follow them.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13And, hopefully, they'll lead me to a lovely fig tree.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Now, which way do I go?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Erm...
0:05:19 > 0:05:20That way!
0:05:20 > 0:05:21It's as good as any.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27ANDY WHISTLES
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Oh.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42This forest goes on for miles and miles.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45How am I going to search it all for a Leptictidium?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49The only thing I've seen so far are these dragonflies.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Hang on a minute.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59That gives me a good idea.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01To the size of a dragonfly!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Right, now to hitch a lift.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Erm...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Excuse me.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Woo-hoo-hoo!
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Giddy-up!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Ha-ha, come on!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Whoa. Whoa-ho-ho-ho!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Whoa!!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Thanks for the ride.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Have a safe trip, dragonfly.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Well...
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I've searched the whole forest now for a Leptictidium
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and I can't find one anywhere.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Maybe they're just not...
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Whoa!
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Whoa!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Put me down!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Ah!
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Urgh!
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I think she finally realised that I'm not dinner.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Thanks for that.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Although, just to be sure, I might make myself a bit bigger.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Not too big, though.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I don't want to scare her off.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Size of a Leptictidium.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31There, that's better.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Now I can follow her,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34without being eaten.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Hey, wait for me!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Well, she didn't lead me to a fig tree,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57but look what she has led me to.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's her family!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02And it looks like she's teaching them how to hunt,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07using that incredible, amazing, super-sensitive nose of hers.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21She's allowing her babies to smell the insects that she's caught.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24By doing that, she's showing them what's good to eat
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and what's not good to eat.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Although, I think they still need a bit of a practise.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33DEEP RUMBLING
0:08:33 > 0:08:35What was that?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36MORE RUMBLING
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's a Gastornis!
0:08:40 > 0:08:45A giant bird that loves eating tiny mammals like Leptictidiums.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49And like me!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52RUMBLING BIRD CALL
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Run! Quickly!
0:09:06 > 0:09:07GASTORNIS CALLS
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Oh!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That was a close call.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15And look!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I'm under a fig tree.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Now, all I have to do is find a fig to replace the one that I made.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Oh, but I can't see any up there.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Maybe there's a few down here, underneath the leaves.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35And I know exactly who can help me search.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Leptictidiums!
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Come on, the coast is clear! Out you come.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48They can use their amazing noses to unearth some lovely figs for me.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55Oh, they're having a good sniff around.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Hang on.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Have you found something?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Oh, yes!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Prehistoric figs!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Oh, thank you, Mum.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Oh, well, that's far too big to fit in this backpack.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I know.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Back to normal size.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Great.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'll just pop this in here.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42CLOCK CHIMES
0:10:42 > 0:10:43The clock.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I've got just enough time.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Uh-oh.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56What is that?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It's an Ambulocetus.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03An ancient relative to the whale...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and a dangerous predator.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Oh, no!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I've got to get back to the clock.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10How am I going to get round him?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12My backpack.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's always full of useful things.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Candle?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25An elastic-band ball?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28AMBULOCETUS GROWLS
0:11:30 > 0:11:32A ukulele?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35None of these things are going to help me.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Unless...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's got to be worth a try.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48# Go to sleep, Ambulocetus
0:11:49 > 0:11:52# Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
0:11:52 > 0:11:55# Please don't eat me. #
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It's working.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10AMBULOCETUS GROWLS

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Quick, Mrs Pickles!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Jen, I've got the fig! - Oh, brilliant.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Quick, Mrs Pickles is on her way.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Good morning, you two.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Morning, Mrs Pickles.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13So, what do you think?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Oh, yes, this is wonderful work.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21I see you've even included some of the Leptictidium's favourite foods.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24That prehistoric fig looks particularly realistic.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27In fact, it looks so good it's making me hungry.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I think I'll go and get some breakfast.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31See you later.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34And I think I'll go and get last night's dinner.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Shh.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37See you next time.
