Prehistoric Earth: A Natural History Wiki

This series follows a team of zoologists that travel through a time portal to various geological time periods and bring live specimens of extinct animals back to the present day, where they are exhibited in a wildlife park named Prehistoric Earth.

## Premise

Rebecca Slatters, a talented veterinarian, is wrongly blamed for the death of a family pet belonging to a wealthy patient and forced to resign. Out of a job for months, she is then recruited by Allen Johnson, a well-known zoologist and animal wrangler, and hired to work at Prehistoric Earth, a wildlife park created for various animals, including prehistoric animals. When finally shown the reality of Prehistoric Earth, Rebecca joins Allen and a team of adventurous zoologists on missions to find and collect extinct animals from the distant primeval past by use of a time portal.

## Locations

### Saber-Tooth Rock

Saber-Tooth Rock is an exhibit where Half-Tooth and his pride of Smilodon resides.

### Sauropod Savannah

Sauropod Savannah is an enclosure where many different species of sauropod dinosaurs resides. The enclosure consists of open savannahs with scattered tree. The exhibit is located next to the Ape-Man Jungle enclosure which a large lake separates the two enclosures but allows the animals in both enclosures to drink from it.

### Mammoth Tundra

Mammoth Tundra is an enclosure where many of the park's Ice Age herbivores resides most notably Martha and her herd of Woolly Mammoths, however a number of modern day animals live there such as the African Elephant, a modern day relative of mammoths. The exhibit includes a tundra environment with open grassland and patches of forest.

### Ape-Man Jungle

Ape-Man Jungle is an enclosure home to many of the park primates including the earliest ape ancestors of humans, however other animals resides there as well such as chalicotheres, rhinos, and antelopes. The enclosure consist of dense jungle with a patch of open savanna. The enclosure is located next to Sauropod Savannah which the two enclosures are separated by a large lake.
