After checking to be sure that the hadrosaur is going to be alright, Njgel and his team head back through the portal. This time, they won't come back without their quarry.

The manage to find the tyrannosaur track amid all of the tracks from its previous attacks. These veer away from the river and head out onto the open flood plains.

Whatever lead the tyrannosaur this way, Nigel will follow him. Overhead, the sky grows darker and darker.

As the continue following the tracks, Nigel soon notices other tracks. These ones are rounder than the tyrannosaurs, and have more toes.

"I think these are ceratopsian tracks," remarks Tristan.

"You're right," replies Nigel. "Maybe the Bistahieversor was following them."

Whatever lead the tyrannosaur this way, the team will follow it. There is no chance to turn back now.

Meanwhile, Bob is still searching for Terence. He's checked everywhere, but still can't find him. Not even the cameras can find his location.

"This is getting absurd. We're dealing with a seven ton predator, it shouldn't be able to hide this well."

While Bob deals with the elusive tyrannosaur, Suzanne has arrived at Troodon Thicket. She's here to check on Rascal and Troody.

"Bob told me about Rascal's nesting behavior, so I'm trying to get a better look at his best. I don't think that he and Troody have mated yet, because ir seems that she's only just accepted his nest."

Apart from some squabbling over where to sit, the raptors haven't argued much. If this goes well, Prehistoric Park may soon count Troodon as part of the success of it's breeding program.

Nearby, in Titanosaur Treetops, another resident is meeting his neighbors.

Terence is watching the titanosaurs feed. Most are ignorant of him, but one is staring right back at him. So long as Terence keeps his distance, there is no reason for violence between the animals.

Still, the sight is rather odd.

Back in Prehistoric New Mexico, Nigel's tracking has paid off.

The footprints have led in a valley within the flood plains. In the center lies a small, sparking lake.

And surrounding it are many different dinosaurs.

The majority are a type of hadrosaur, but there is also a lone male Stegoceras and, more importantly, a small group of five horned ceratopsians.

"Pentaceratops," remarks Nigel.

"I can see Kritosaurus with them, too," remarks Tristan.

Then, a loud growl sounds theough the air. Turning toward it, the team finds themselves facing a pack of tyrannosaurs. Very hungry tyrannosaurs.

The tyrant reptiles charge toward the herd. Sensing an easy catch, Nigel and crew set up the portal by the lake shore. The ensuing stampede gets all of the animals through the portal.

All except for one.

The tyrannosaur from earlier decides to go after the easier meal: the crew. As it prepares to attach, however, it finds it can't move. It's become stuck in the mud.

"Well, this isn't good," remarks Nigel.

Just then, thunder rumbles ahead. It's followed by a few drops of rain, then a downpour.

This proves problematic for the team. The downpour is rapidly filling up the lake, and the tyrannosaur is tiring fast.

They need to rescue the tyrant fast, or it will drown, and they will drown with it.

AN: Looks like our heroes are in trouble.

Meanwhile, Terence continues to outsmart the staff.

Anyways, the final segment will be up tomorrow.
