Prehistoric Park
Season 2 episode 1: Carnotaurus
Previously on Prehistoric Park: After Nigel managed to get Matilda back into her holding pen, and all the other prehistoric animals back into their pens. They manage to catch the trouble making troodon that cause the breakout in the first place.
Present: Now Nigel has his mind set on another dinosaur he wants to add to his park. He goes into his quarters, and pulls a book from the shelf. The book is about dinosaurs of south america, and he puts the book on his desk. He opens up to a page that mentions an armored predator that lived in south america. Nigel puts his figure on the page "Now this is the one that I'm after. It is known as carnotaurus, its name means meat eating bull" Nige explains. "Now do you see these two horns right on the side of the dinosaur's head? Nobody knows what they were for, and that is also what I'm going to find out" Nigel says to the camera.
With that Nigel gets on his communication device, and calls head keeper Bob. "Bob do you read me over?" Nigel asks into the walkie-talkie. "I read you over" Bob replies as he is feeding the little ornithomimus. "What is it now?" "I need you to start building another paddock for a big carnivore I'll explain on the way to the time portal" Nigel says as he is getting into his jeep. Bob shows up near the time portal, and asks about what Nigel wanted to talk about. "Well you see Bob" Nigel says as he pulls his book about carnotaurus out, and shows Bob the dinosaur. "Are you series Nigel? I mean we have enough trouble with Matilda running wild, and you want to bring in another carnivore?!"Bob says.
"Yes, don't you see how much of a wonderful addition that this dinosaur would make to the park?" Nigel says patting Bob on the back. "I must be working for a madman, alright I'll do it" Bob says as he walks over to a vacant area. Nigel laughs as he gets into the jeep thinking of how over the month that he has given him such a hard time on this park. Nigel then starts up the jeep, and heads towards the portal. The jeep makes it through the portal, and Nigel finds that he is in the middle of a jungle.
Nigel gets out of the jeep, and starts to look around. "Wow would you look at this place. I mean this is all going to be the amazon rain forest in few years, and just wow!" Nigel exclaims Nigel continues to walk when he hears a loud moan in the nearby forest. Nigel puts his hand up a sign for everyone to be quiet. Nigel then walks ahead of the group to see where that moaning came from. He then moves some foliage out of the way, and smiles when he sees what the moaning.
"Come here, come here" Nigel says motioning for the camera man to come where he is at. Nigel then points through the foliage, and then it shows where the loud moaning was coming from a herd of long necked sauropod dinosaurs. "These dinosaurs are known as saltasaurs meaning salt lizard after where it was discovered in argentina" Nigel explains as he is looking into the camera. "Now what we know about these dinosaurs is that they have armor on them see?" Nigel explains as he is pointing at the armor plating on the dinosaur's back. "This armor was made so that way the dinosaurs were protected in case a predator like the one that we are after decided to try, and make a meal out of this dinosaur.
That dinosaur would basically be protected from the attack" Nigel explains "Now the dinosaur that we are after is also armored, see carnotaurus has armor on its back for protection against its own kind. Nigel opens up a book on South American dinosaurs, and turns it to the page featuring the dinosaur carnotaurus. " Now this dinosaur was one of the big carnivores, but it went on to become extinct due to competition from bigger carnivores such as giganotosaurus." Nigel explains. Suddenly a loud roar is heard right behind them, and Nigel tells them to hide.
Nigel gets the cameraman to hide with him in the foliage. When the camera turns back to what had just been about to attack them, they see a strange new animal. This animal is almost built like a t-rex, but smaller. It also has something like armor on its back, and horns like that of a bull on the top of its head near the eyes. The animal growls at the saltasaurus, threatened the saltasaurus rises up on its hind legs to show how much bigger it is. The animals tries to bite at the saltasaurus, but finds that the animal is too big.
The animal decides to give up on going after the big sauropod, with that it lumbers away. "Oh my gosh that was a carnotaurus, that is what we have been looking for! Now we just have to figure out how to get that dinosaur into prehistoric park." Nigel says thinking. Nigel steps out from the foliage, and then begins to follow the carno. "Now from the looks of this carno I'm guessing that since it tried to take on that saltasaurus that this one must be a juvenile, cause if you look you can see that his horns are not quite grown yet." Nigel explains pointing at the horns on top of the carno's head.
The carnotaurus decides to stop, and it smells something. Nigel seeing this decides to hide in the foliage, so that way he doesn't catch his scent. The carnotaurus lifts his head up, and lets out a low growl. Seeing nothing the carno continues walking. Nigel continues to follow the predator, and sees that is leading him right into a pack of carnos.
Nigel hides behind a hill, so that way the rest of the carnos don't see him. Nigel gets out his binoculars, and starts to observe the pack. "Oh, my goodness I was right that one we were just following was a juvenile. Cause if you look at the bigger one she does have her horns are fully grown." "Now look at that." Nigel says as he is pointing at the two younger carnos, the camera shows the two young ones' growling, and snarling at each other. Suddenly they start to press against each other's heads.
"Wow would you look at that" Nigel says as he holds up his binoculars to watch the babies fight like that. "Wow the scientists are actually right on this, see scientists for year have been wondering what the horns on the top of carnotaurus were for. They weren't sure what for, like were they used for showing off, or for killing larger prey. As you can see no, they were more used for showing dominance." Nigel explains. As he is watching them a growl is heard behind him, followed by some thundering footsteps.
"Watch out!" Nigel says to the cameraman as the animal steps into view. Both Nigel, and the cameraman move away to where they can view the animal. They discover that it is another carnotaurus, a male. Upon seeing the male, the two younger carnos hide behind mom, and mom roars at the male. The male roars back, and shows the female the horns on top of him. The mother roars back at him, and begins to charge.
The two carnotaurs begin to butt heads, and the mother growls at the male. "Now this is something that I would have expected I mean that is a male, and he is looking for a female to mate with. See the female is still trying to raise the young here, and she is not having any of what the male has." Nigel explains. The male growls as he is trying to push the mother back, and prove how dominate he really is. The female however proves to be stronger, and knocks him back a little. The younger male growls in defeat, before sulking away in defeat. "Now that was just amazing, and I think we found our target dinosaur. I mean later we might have to build some more pens for these two, but we could make it work." Nigel explains.
"Now the trouble is how are we going to get the mother, and babies into the portal?" Nigel asks himself. Suddenly his eyes light up as he has gotten an idea. Nigel then heads for his jeep, and starts it up. Some of the cameramen start freaking out at what he is doing. One of them manages to make it into the jeep. "Don't worry I'm doing this to get the carnos to chase us to the portal, you see carnos like most predators are attracted towards movement" Nigel explains to the cameraman.
Nigel drives the jeep towards the family of carnotaurus. The mother stares at the jeep unsure of what to do. To get their attention Nigel honks his horn at them, immediately the mother carno roars at him. With that the carno family begins to give chase to Nigel. Nigel begins to drive faster, as he sees that the whole pack is gaining on him.
Nigel is just about to be lunch, when he enters a blinding light. He comes out of the other side of the portal with the carnotaurus family wrecking his jeep. The mother carnotaurus roar in anger at having lost that prey. Nigel manages to lure the carnotaurus into their pens.
Next Time:
Nigel goes back into the Jurassic Period to get the most well known dinosaur of that period, and he meets the most deadliest carnivore of that era as well.
