I'M BAAAAAAAAAAACK!

There is something missing from this 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.

His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present, and give them a second chance.

This time, Nigel goes back 314 million years to rescue some of the earliest sharks known.

Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary.

Welcome... to Prehistoric Park!

After several successful missions, Prehistoric Park has been a true haven for extinct species, ranging from dinosaurs no larger than turkeys to tortoises the size of cows.

Now, though, Nigel wants to turn his attention back to the oceans.

Nigel and his marine crew are standing on the Ancient Mariner out beyond the park's aquatic pens. Below them, several dark shapes are cruising through the water. Though they come in many different sizes, one feature unites them all: heads shaped like giant Ts.

"These hammerhead sharks are probably some of the most famous sharks in the world; only the great white is more famous. Today, sharks are some of the most ferocious predators to exist, but when they first appeared over three hundred million years ago, most weren't very large at all. But while they may be small, those prehistoric sharks would make excellent additions to the park."

Nigel's plan is to once again travel to Arizona, this time 314 million years in the past. Here, there was an amazing diversity of early sharks, but most weren't any bigger than the average person!

While Nigel heads back to the shore, the rest of the away team is getting Sean and Elise ready for the mission.

Beneath the surface of the waves, Elise and Sean are gliding over the ocean floor. Suddenly, a giant shape moves past them, kicking up a huge cloud of sand. As the debris finally settles down, the two gain a closer look at the giant, and are stunned by what they see: before them is the giant shape of a Megalodon. Specifically, it's Jaws (though some of the staff have started calling him Bruce as well). And he's way too close for comfort.

Before the siblings can react, though, the giant sharks swims past them, heading for a small head of coral. Within the coral, Alice and Lucas watch as tiny shrimps begin to crawl out of their hiding places, meticulously meandering their way toward the shark, which has slowed down to practically a crawl. The minute the shrimps reach Bruce, they begin their work, chipping away at dead skin and parasites, to the visible relief of the mega-shark.

As the shrimps continue to clean one of the largest sharks to ever live, an odd noise fills the water. While neither shark nor shrimp notices, Sean and Elise recognize the sound and turn their attention back toward the coral. To their surprise, the sounds are coming from Lucas, who has pulled out a camera and begun snapping photos of the scene before them. He does this for about ten seconds, at which point Alice taps on him and points upwards. There, the rest of the away team has begun to head back toward the shore, to which the quartet follows, albeit reluctantly in Lucas' case.

Five minutes later, the team has arrived at the main dock for boats headed out into the marine exhibits. The team has already loosened their wetsuits and are taking quite a few deep breaths. Lucas, meanwhile, is trying to show Alice the photos he took.

"Really?" begins Elise, breaking the silence that had filled the air. "Our initiation for the marine exhibits was to swim through the Megalodon exhibit?!"

"Yes," responded Tristan, "because once you do that, well, you're ready for anything."

Elise and Sean respond by glaring daggers into their brother but soon their expressions soften: after all, it was an interesting swim.

"So, what's are target today?" asks Sean, eager to know what their quarry will be.

"Carboniferous sharks, so mostly small fry," responds Aileen. "The Devonian Extinction killed off the giant placoderms, and quite a few other animals, and it took some time for the oceans to recover. Easy mission if you ask me."

"Well, how long until we have to set off?" questions Elise.

"We leave when Nigel gets back, which should be soon," replies Adrian.

"How do you know that," responds Sean.

"Because I can see his ship coming toward us," is his brother's response, along with a point of his left hand.

Sure enough, Nigel is indeed with sight of the dock.

"...Huh. Speak of the devil."

Nigel's plan will take the tteam back to a time when the largest predators on land were no larger than crocodiles, and where the sharks hardly be larger than they are. For once, it seems they have an easy mission!

On the other side of the portal lies the Carboniferous Ocean. The group has arrived in a what could best be described as a mangrove swamp, even though those trees haven't evolved yet! Here, the lands meets the sea, giving the group a chance to look for both freshwater and saltwater sharks, along with other ancient fish.

Not wasting any time, Nigel heads out midway into between the swamp and the open ocean, before donning a wetsuit. The rest of the team is already suited up, eager to find a shark. After finishing putting on their suits and buddying up, the team brace their masks and take the plunge.

Beneath the waves, the ocean is fully of life, primarily in the form of clans that grow on anything they can find. In the distance, though, the team notices a school of fish gathering in search of food. After taking sending a few samples of the bivalves back to the present, the team swims after the fish: after all, most of their targets are fish eaters...
