Ep 2- A Mammoth Undertaking
There is something missing from our world. The amazing creatures that time has left behind.
But what if we could bring them back? What if extinction didn't have to be forever? We're going on a safari with a difference, as wildlife adventurer, Nigel Marven, plunges into pre-history to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction. His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present and give them a second chance.
This time Nigel travels back 10,000 years ago to Siberia to find out what's truly killing of the last of the mammoths.
Welcome to the ultimate wildlife refuge. Welcome to Prehistoric Park!
Ep 2- A Mammoth Undertaking.
As the midday sun of Isla Nublar beat down on the herd of African Bush Elephants they wade in their own little lake while Hammond, Nigel, and Alex talk about what their second mission would be. "So Nigel, Alex, I expect that you know that your next mission will be bringing back an extinct elephant." said Hammond hiding his computer screen from them. "Well yeah but what kind?" said Alex tapping her foot. "There's so many, mammoths, mastodons, gomphotheres. Come on John tell us!" yelled Nigel scaring some birds in the trees and the African Elephant calf. "Fine, fine, here." said Hammond turning his computer around to reveal a large elephant but this one had much smaller ears and a shaggy coat of dark brown hair. "Wow a Wooly Mammoth! Those were my favorite animals as a child." said Alex. "Okay Alex come on." said Nigel standing up. "Where are we going?" asked Alex. "My office." said Nigel walking away. "I'll stay here and watch the elephants."said Hammond.
Scene: Nigel's bungalow
"So Nigel where are you going to but them?" asked Alex sitting in Nigel's chair and eating an apple. "Right here." said Nigel pointing to the North most part of the island where a man-made snowy area. Just then Muldoon's voice came over the radio. "Calling all personal. King has broken into Terrence and Matilda's paddock!" "Not again. That's the third time this week!" sighed Alex.
Scene: T-Rex Hill
"Watch the hose!" Yelled Muldoon. In the paddock King was facing off Terrence. Even though Terrence was double the size of King he was having trouble grabbing him because King was faster and much more maneuverable. As Terrence tried to bite down on King's tail King jumped back and grabbed Terrence by the neck. Using all his strength King threw him to the ground knocking him out cold. Muldoon shot at King but missed and hit a tree. Unfazed by the thought that he was being shot at King walked over and prepared for the killing bite until out of nowhere Matilda comes running in and slams her head into King's side causing him to fall down hard. You would think that Matilda would go in for the kill but she didn't, instead she walked over to Terrence and heaved him back on his feet and they walked away. Muldoon seeing that he didn't need to shoot Terrence or Matilda he shot King.
"Everything is fine, We are securing the fence and Suzanne is fixing King as we speak." said Muldoon. Nigel, Alex, Hammond, and Muldoon were sitting around Nigel's desk. "All right. Alex go get packed, we're leaving." said Nigel. In a half an hour Nigel and Alex are on their snowmobiles and driving through the portal only to be stopped by a huge conifer. "This is one of the reasons mammoths are going extinct. Their main food source, grass in being taken over my conifers." said Nigel ripping some needles of the tree. As Nigel and Alex drive around trying to find a mammoth and avoid trees they come across a cave. With adventure taking over Nigel walks in but walks back out soon after then turns around and runs. "Run to a tree." yelled Nigel. "What? Why?" asked Alex. Then a roar came out of the cave and a huge bear almost 10 feet at the shoulder comes wobbling out. Alex ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Nigel found a grove and climbed up a tree as fast as he could and Alex did the same. Alex reached the top just as the bear jumped up and nearly grabbed her foot even though the tree was 18 feet the bear stood at least 15 feet when standing up. "Wow Ursus spelaeus, otherwise known as the Cave Bear. These guys should have gone extinct 14,000 years ago!" said Nigel. The Cave Bear hearing him ran over and ripped a hole in the soul of his shoe. Seeing that the bear was distracted Alex jumped from tree to tree until she was blocking the only entrance into and out of the grove. She grabbed the time portals and yelled, "Oi you over here!" The bear turned around and lunged at Alex but she was quicker and set the portal up sending him through.
At Prehistoric Park Bob is trying to watch over the Cave Bear. "When we got him he was malnourished so Suzanne gave him some meat and berries and he just went into his new home. That big lug." Then Bob suddenly left and headed to the garage. At the garage a few of the park's employees are busy building Bob's mystery idea. "At this rate it'll be done by the time Nigel gets back from his little adventure.
Back in Siberia, Nigel and Alex have found the mammoth herd but it's not such a happy scene. The herd consisted of 5 females but one of them wasn't moving. "Nigel the one they are circled around, it's dead!" whispered Alex trying not to spook the mammoths. Just then another one fell next to the dead one but this one was still breathing. "I'm not letting another one die." said Nigel just before he ran over the fallen mammoth. The rest of the females thinking that Nigel was a threat stampeded. Nigel however expected this and opened the portal sending them through. This just left the fallen mammoth. Nigel ran over to the injured mammoth. She didn't even have the strength to act healthy. "Team this is Nigel we have a mammoth that needs veterinary attention. STAT!" Yelled Nigel into his radio. Within 10 minutes the mammoth was getting help. An hour later Jim walked into Nigel's new tent. "Nigel we've found this in the mammoth's skin." he put a sharp piece of flint on the table. "A spear head!" said Alex. "Is she ready to be moved?" "No but if she survives the night then with the antibiotics we've given her than she'll be ready tomorrow." replied Jim
Night couldn't have come any sooner. As the team was having supper a howl came from the woods. "Wolves!" yelled Nigel grabbing a torch. The newly named Martha was being surrounded by wolves. One jumped at her but Nigel yelled at them. The wolves weren't scared of Nigel but of the fire. The pack ran back into the forest. "Nigel look!" said Alex from behind him. She had her flashlight shining in the woods and in the woods were almost 20 pairs of eyes staring back at them. "Wolves and hyenas." whispered Nigel "Keep an eye out for any human activity they'll come back to see if they caught anything." "But won't that be hard since human eyes don't reflect light?" asked Alex this was going to be a long night. Morning was happily greeted by Nigel and Alex who spent all night fighting of wolves and hyenas trying to get a easy meal but thankfully no human sightings this night. As Alex, Jim and the rest of the team tore down came Nigel tried to get Martha on her feet. Nigel opened the portal and held out some hay for her. The food was enticing for a starving mammoth and her hunger urged her on her feet. Now the real tricky part came would Martha leave her dead friend or come back to Prehistoric Park with her living friends. In the time Martha was thinking a herd of Yakutian Horses had stumbled across the portal and wandered through with Nigel knowing. In the present they are rare and could go extinct. Martha then chose, Prehistoric Park was her choice.
In Prehistoric Park Alex and Nigel are both taking naps in their cabins. While they are snoozing Suzanne and Bob are watching the mammoths in their new home. It's a large area with a huge grassland and a small forest with a heated pond in the middle. Martha was reuniting with her herd members named Betty, Mary,and Amy. The Yakutian Horses are living in their stables in the newly named Friendly Forest, this was where animals with domesticated cousins and animals too small for their own paddock go including Scamp. The next day Bob was doing another one of Muldoon's check-ups when the portal flared to life. He ran over to see Nigel drive through and the portal closed. "Bob what happened?" Bob heard behind him. He turned around to see Alex and Suzanne running towards him. "Nigel drove through the portal." "What? without me!" yelled Alex.
160,000 years back in the past Nigel is looking for a mate for the mini-herd. "Wow." said Nigel. He was standing on a hill watching at least 10 herds of mammoths wandering around. Just then Nigel heard a grunting sound behind him. He turned around to see a rhino but this one had only one instead of two but this one was at least 2 meters (6 feet) tall. "Wow Elasmotherium, this species will soon be extinct so I must find a way to rescue this one." Nigel got the portal set up just as he heard a large trumpet behind him. He turned around and jumped to the side just as a male mammoth comes charging over the hill. The mammoth used his tusks to slam into the Elasmotherium. With a loud thud the extinct rhino landed on the ground. Thinking that the Elasmotherium wasn't a threat anymore he went on to the next "threat" the portal! The mammoth stampeded towards the portal hoping to hit it but once he touched it he ran through. Nigel walked over to his snowmobile and turned it on. He was halfway there when he turned around to see the Elasmotherium chasing a family of prehistoric humans.
"Wow Neanderthals! I've got to save them." Nigel drove over and honked his horn at the rhino getting his attention. The Elasmotherium charged after Nigel. He jumped off the snowmobile just as it went through the portal along with the Elasmotherium. "Thank you Nigel for saving us." Nigel turned around to see the troop of prehistoric humans. "Your welcome but how do you know my name and how do you speak my language?" Nigel asked the leader. "A man named Grasshopper has told us that a man will come to rescue us and taught us to speak his language and we believe that that man is you." explained the leader. "Ah would you like to come back with me?" asked Nigel. The Neanderthals agreed and walked back with him. Back at Prehistoric Park everybody is getting used to the fact that their extinct ancestors are living on a island only a few miles away. Nigel had to have a very awkward talk with Bob, Suzanne, and especially Alex. As Nigel was in his bungalow he was confronted by a few of the Neanderthals. "Nigel we would like jobs here.". Nigel agreed and they left. As supper past Hammond, Nigel, and Alex spent the rest of their day watching the mammoths get used to each other. "I expected the herd to hate the male but they seem to be really attached to him." said Alex. "Oi Nigel come over to Triceratops Creek stat." said Bob over the radio. "I bet ya it has something to do with his project." Said Alex.
As the team walked over to Triceratop Creek they see that Suzanne has already gotten their. Alex was about to ask if she knew anything but she didn't have the chance because they heard a loud horn behind them. They turned around to see Bob driving a customized tractor toward them. It had tires around almost all of it and had two bamboo poles as horns. "Bob what have you done?" laughed Nigel. "I've built a solution." replied Bob as Nigel climbed on. "Open the gate!" they yelled at the same time. Suzanne and Alex opened the gates. "Boys" they said at the same time too. As the Trike Tractor drove around the paddock it didn't get much attention besides one or two glares by some male Triceratops. Just then a large thud came from behind them. They turned around to see that the young Triceratops had attacked from behind! Bob turned the tractor around and rammed into the Trike. They did this for almost 10 minutes before they decided they should back off. As they exited, the young Triceratops roared at them as a warning. Nigel jumped off as Bob drove back to the garage, "We'll have to let him win every time so he doesn't hurt himself." explained Nigel. As the sun sets behind them everybody lays down and goes to bed.
Next time on Prehistoric Park:
Nigel goes back 120 Million years back in time to rescue the possible ancestor of most birds
(A small creature glides across the screen)
And comes some big trouble
(a long tail smashes into a tree barely missing Nigel)
And Prehistoric Park has the first dino eggs in 65 million years
(a few large mounds of dirt with leaves on them)
All next time on Prehistoric Park
