As the herbivores proceeded to panic, Nigel ran toward the carcass. The distracted predators failed to notice him tie the rope around the head of the dead rhino, then start running away.

"Open the portal!" He shouted.

Wasting no time, the group did as he ordered. Just in time, too. The herbivores finally decided to bolt, as did the drinkin carnivores. Shortly thereafter, the hyaenodonts and entelodonts realized their carcass was being stolen and followed the stampede toward the portal.

On the other side, a recently arrived Bob could only watch as a titanic group of animals bursted through the portal. Unknown to him, the wooly thing was also watching, absolutely confused by the bizarre turn of events.

It wasn't alone: the other wooly rhinos had also escaped their exhibit and had witnessed the insanity that had just occurred.

Meanwhile, Bob had calmed down , put the new arrivals in holding pens and was asking Nigel where he wanted the animals. He was interrupted, though, when he saw the wooly rhinos interacting with the rhinos Nigel had rescued.

The hairy beasts stared at their smaller kin for a moment. Then, they started grunting at each other. This continued on for a moment, then the unicorn rhino used his horn unlatch the gate for the mini rhinos' pen. The mini rhinos joined with their giant cousins and started to walk away.

"Well, I guess we know where to keep those fellers," remarked Bob.

Soon, the animals were sorted into their new homes. Nigel decided to take a rest for the day and let the crew get settled into their new homes. After they did so, they had dinner and prepared for bed.

Before they went to sleep though, Tristan had a surprised for them. He took them out to the ocean pens, avoiding the sharks and giant sea monsters, until the reached an empty exhibit.

Tai was the one to ask the obvious question.

"What's going on?"

He was answered when something flew through the sky, then exploded in a brilliant starburst. It was followed by many, many more.

All over the park, everyone watched the brilliant plumes explode across the sky. Even the bugs, amphibians and fish managed to see the blasts.

"I got Nigel's permission to use an empty tank for this," remarked Tristan. "Happy Fourth of July!
