Desperately, the giant temnospondyl heaved itself out of the water, trying to escape the oncoming rush of snow. All around it, other creatures tried to escape the white wall of doom in their own ways - the nearby sharks tried to swim out of the danger zone, whilst terrestrial creatures tried to run away, some looking for burrows to hide in. Of course, normally, this would all be in vain - these creatures were simply not fast enough to escape the oncoming wall of icy doom.
But then, these weren't normal circumstances.
As the amphibian rushed toward the shoreline, a group of newly arrived bipeds began to set up a pair of sticks in the group. Moments later, a strange light appeared, to the momentary confusion of the various animals in the area. Was the light a danger? Would it eat them?
Unfortuantely for these creatures, the light blocked the only path to escape the avalanche. So, with great reluctance, the various animals bolted toward the portal, and in moments vanished through it.
Unnoticed by these charging vertebrates and large flying insects, the bipeds were heading toward the snow wall, stopping only when they were at the water to snatch up all of the swimmers within, after which they retreated to the light, with the avalanche just on their heels. The minute they inside, the portal closed, though not before a tiny rush of snow flew through the portal.

The Eryops felt its eyes sting as it arrived in the park. The first thing it noticed was that everything was much warmer than before. Then it saw the barren trees, the dirt, and the strange fluffy fliers resting on those trees.
Then it saw the sickle clawed creature feeding on some fruit in front of it. Before either could react, though, the advance of the other terrified critters forced Rascal to retreat, taking his meal with him.
Soon, the newcomers were herded into their own holding pens, while the rescue team looked on, happy to have rescued so many critters. A look of puzzlement soon followed when they felt something moving in their packs. Examining them, the team was very, very surprised by what they discovered.

Hours later, the new arrivals were all settled in - the sail backs had been moved to a mix of coniferous forest and open scrub, nearby Mammoth Mount so that some snow came. The amphibians and fish, meanwhile, had been moved to a set of warm lakes, though with room to swim toward colder regions, if that was necessary for breeding.
Lastly, the hitchhikers had been moved into a small woodland, where they were busy trying to find leaves, bugs, and smaller critters to feast upon.
Worn out from their journey, and carrying several rather large hitchhikers, the team was eager to call it a day.

Next time, the team goes back seventy five million years to the most dangerous sea of all time...

..To face some of the most ferocious sea monsters ever...
(Shot of a mosasaur trying to attack Nigel, only to get body slammed by an very angry elasmosaur)
...and find that even the land is not safe...
(Shot of the team retreating from a mosasaur onto land, only for the giant lizard to be hoisted into the air by a dryptosaur)
Back at the park, the sail backs adjust to their new home...

...whilst some of the other residents get more amorous...

All next time on Prehistoric Park: Hell's Aquarium
