Time-travelling adventures to bring extinct creatures back to the present day! ""This series sees me throwing myself into a new challenge: going back in time to rescue prehistoric animals from extinction and bringing them back to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Each episode revolves around a different prehistoric adventure as I head backwards in time to save particular creatures. In the process I experience some of Earth's most devastating extinctions and find out what caused them. I witness what killed the mammoths silenced the sabre tooth cats and cause the demise of the dinosaurs. In the Park itself I work with real animals and before the time-travelling adventures I meet with real scientists to gather advice. Once the prehistoric animals are released into the Prehistoric Park their welfare becomes paramount- we even have a full-time vet and park keeper on hand to attend to their every need."" - Nigel Marven
