At Prehistoric New Mexico, Nigel and his crew have caught lucky break. At last, several dinosaurs have been attracted to the river.

These consist of several ankylosaurs, several pachycephalosaurs, and, surprisingly, a heard of Parasaurolophus, but with a different crest design from the pair at the park.

"Well, here they come," remarks Nigel. "It's almost midday, so these creatures must be looking for something to sooth their thirst under the midday sun."

"I think the ankylosaurs are Nodocephalosaurus, the pachycephalosaurs are Stegoceras and Sphaerotholus goodwini, and Parasaurolophus tubicen. Hey, didn't you say we already had Sphaerotholus and Parasaurolophus at the park?"

"Yes, but these are different species. With the parasaurs, this is the most obvious: these ones have giant crests compared to the ones at the park."

"Good point. So, how do we rescue these?"

"Well, maybe we could do what you did early-"

Before Nigel can finish his thoughts, a loud growl sounds through the air. Turning away from the herbivores, Nigel and crew find its source: a tyrannosaur.

Nigel and Tristan recognize it immediately.

"Bistahieversor," remark both of them.

They're right about the name of this tyrant. And right now, he's hungry.

His arrival surprises and panics the herbivores, as well as a few crocodiles basking on the river banks.

For Nigel and his team, this is the opportunity they've been waiting for. Nigel gets to work setting up the portal, while Tristan takes out a flag and starts waving it.

While cautious of the humans, the herbivores are far more afraid of the tyrannosaur and start running toward Tristan.

As they are almost on him, the portal opens, sending the herbivores (and the spooked crocodilians) to the safety of the present/ They're are soon followed by Nigel and his team.

The tyrannosaur, however, refuses to follow.

In the present, the newest arrivals are being cared for. They also provide the new vets a chance to start examining some of their charges.

While this is happening, Suzanne informs Nigel of the good news.

"So, we have breeding oviraptorids now?" asks Nigel.

"Yes, we do. Isn't that wonderful?!" remarks Suzanne.

"It is. Oh yes it is," replies Nigel.

The rest of the away team, however, is just resting after the chase.

Meanwhile, Bob is working with one of the parks more troublesome residents: the male Troodon.

"I nicknamed 'im Rascal, after all the trouble he caused and how he acts. This feller used to try and escape from any trap I put him into, but now, he's calmed down for some reason. He keeps trying to take me tools, though, and put 'em in his nest. Not sure why, though."

Luckily, Bob is about to find an answer for that.

Out of the undergrowth emerges the female Troodon that Nigel rescued in his very first mission. The minute she appears, Rascal gets in his nest and starts cawing. She seems enticed by this. Then, he offers her a piece of meat.

"Now I get it. Rascal's been getting ready to mate. He must have been building up his nest to impress Troody. That's what we named the other one. Anyway, this is like bower birds in Africa. The males make nests, then the females decide if the nest is good enough."

And, based on the fact Troody is nuzzling Rascal, it seems that she approves.

Nearby, another resident is enjoying the park.

Terence is still out of his exhibit. As it is not yet his feeding time, his escape has yet to be noticed. Right now, he's by the elephant's territory, searching for water.

He soon finds it. Unfortunately, though, the elephants are drinking from it.

Terence, unfazed by this, merely walks up right next to Martha and starts drinking. The mammoth notices, but her only reaction is to back away slightly. After all, if Terence is making himself plainly visible to the herd, he probably isn't going to attack them.

Nearby, the Elasmotherium, Arsinerotherium and Toxodon watch the strange spectacle for a moment, then return to eating.

AN: Well, that's done.

Just so you know, the Troodon scene is based on the one in March of the Dinosaurs.

As for Terence drinking from a watering hole and being within spitting distance from Martha without any hostility, there have been several cases of predators and prey being in close proximity with no animosity at all.
