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 Marvin plunges into Prehistory to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction. He palns to bring them back to the safety of the present and give them a second chance. This time, Nigel and his team go back 440 million years to Prehistoric New York, to rescue one of the most terrifying groups of arthropods to ever live. Welcome to the Ultimate Wild Life Sanctuary. Welcome to Prehistoric Park.

After many successful missions, Prehistoric Park is really living up to its title. With a herd of giant Camels, a pair of giant raptors, and some rather small head synapsids, everyone is doing quite well. Now, though, Nigel wants to set his sights on something scarier.

In his den, Nigel is examining a set of pcitures. They appear to be scorpions, but have a unique feature: their rear legs are almost flat.

"These are eurypterids. They're commonly called sea scorpions ,but these creatures are more closely realted to horshoe crabs. These little terros are one of natures great success stories: they evolved in the Silurian and survived unitl the Permian. Now, eurypterids are know from all over the world, but this one, the type genus Eurypterus, is the state fossil of New York, and that's where I'm going.

Meanwhile, at the aquatic exhibit, the team is feeding some of the newer residents.

Dotting the shoreline is a group of Allodesmus. These early pinnipeds act just like their modern relatives, making life easy on the group. Interespersed with them are the hippo-like Desmostylus, who have no modern relatives. These herbivores are mostly content to feed on sea grass, but the occasional cabbage is an appetizing treat.

"So," remarks Vera," what's the next mission going to be?"

"I don't know, just that it'll be to some ancient sea."

"After getting baked under the Permian sun, I couldn't care less where we're headed as long as it is cooler. If it's in the ocean, perfect."

"I get your point. Also, this time, Nigel's only taking the three of us back. Everyone else needs a rest."

"Fine with me."

"Will Tristan Saururs, Allison Caldera and Veranda Siegel please report to the aquatic portal site," remarks a voice from the PA system.

"Well, time to get moving," remarks Tristan.

Nigel better be prepared well for this mission. At this point in history, 440 million years from the present, there were no land animals and barely any air. What else can he expect to find on this amazing adventure?
