The link above is for the previous part of the episode. This part is shorter than the previous part as the previous part was quite long itself. Now to finish the episode.

The group in the past was looking for a place to set up camp for the night as it was getting dark when they stumbled upon a pretty interesting finding a snake track but with tiny feet prints on each side. They decide to make camp near them. But it turned out to be a bad idea as something else was lurking in the dark watching them. The group was getting the lights off as the animal made its way into the camp not to move through but for food a weird bird like noise was heard before acryallo felt something bite onto hammock and rip it apart before looking the cause straight in the eye. Terrified he kicked it in the head as he got up and alerted everyone else. The predator in the camp let out a high pitch hiss as the lights were turned on in the camp temporarily blinding the predator. The group was able to see that the predator in question was a ceratosaurus and it was not happy at all. The ceratosaurus blinded from the lights in its eyes stumbled around the camp. While it stumbled aimlessly the ceratosaurus eventually hit its head hard on the jeep stunning it

The group sedated the ceratosaurus and set up the time portal. But as soon as the ceratosaurus dropped a chirping noise was heard from some nearby plants. The group decided to look into what was making the noise only to find a nest with ceratosaurus hatchlings in it. Now knowing that they were in the nesting area for this ceratosaurus it was decided to bring the babies back as well instead of just leaving them to fend for themselves. When they were brought back it was night in the park and most of the staff were not expecting to get a new creature this late as it was a little after midnight.

While the capture group was gone the rex got cleared to finally get moved into its permanent residence nicknamed the rex woods. Which is a area of the park where there is open terrain as well as planted trees. Back to the ceratosaurus and its babies. The ceratosaurus woke up and went to its babies and once near the babies it settled down until a veterinary staff member went into the pen thinking that it was the one that the saurophaganax was knocked out in after it ate a metal clip that was attached to its food that was supposed to break off but didn't. The baby ceratosaurus were curious about the human that was in their pen but the mother as it was figured out to be a female was being protective and chased the veterinary staff member out of the pen. The group left in the morning to the Morrison Formation and was happy to find a different sight then large carnivorous therapod dinosaurs. They were in a wooded area and went looking for something small animals until they found a skeleton of an allosaurus and a snake in the skull they caught it without getting injured but once they returned to camp to put it in a place to keep it safe they found it damaged with small three toed footprints of a small therapod except there was one problem the tracks nail print was off. But in one of the tents they found the cause one of the tents that wasn't destroyed and a dryosaurus was seen eating the group's food they brought. They were able to catch the dryosaurus and brought both the dryosaurus and the snake to the park where they were put into different holding pens except the snake which was identified as a diablophis was brought to the small animal building.

The group returned and stumbled across a rare sight a gargoylesaurus a very primitive ankylosaur ancestor the group decided to get one for the park. It was not easy getting the gargoylesaurus but they were able to get it by just luring it through with food.

The group went back to the formation for the last time for this expedition and they caught a species of lung fish called ceratodus and a prehistoric species related to the tuatara. But when they were packing up to return to the park. One of the scouts reported two stuck animals in a dried lake a pair ornitholestes they were successful in getting them unstuck but sadly one died from stress not wanting the other to die as well they sedated the other one. But in the nearby woods a moaning noise was heard as the group tried to get there and did and found the cause a injured stegosaurus with a huge chunk taken from its shoulder from a predator with a tooth lodged in the wound. The group decided to try and bring it back they tied ropes to the plates and front ankles to pull the stegosaurus through the time portal. The group decided that they were done with the Morrison Formation for a while. They were able to get the stegosaurus help and moving again. The ornitholestes was put in the small animal building along with the ceratodus and tuatara relative which was identified as a opisthiamimus.

The park's animal residents a few weeks later were all in their permanent residences and the park was opened for guided tours to help fund the park's efforts.

Next time the group goes after two of the largest crocodilians ever and runs into a little problem
