Whilst ambushing them however, a log falls in his path which he trips over and ends up breaking something in his right foot. Later the dry season comes, and Al is attempting to hunt a flock of Dryosaurus. Al is lucky enough to escape from the ensuing fight with his life, although he sustains injuries to his right arm as well as smashed ribs. She is not interested, but Al's inexperience shows, and the female turns hostile when he gets too close.
Away from the pond, he discovers the scent of a nearby female Allosaurus and issues a mating call.
His presence however makes other dinosaurs around the pond nervous and the smell of blood he brings with him puts off a pair of Stegosaurus that were attempting to mate. Al takes some remnants of the carcass for himself and leaves, trying to find a safer place to eat.Ī year passes by, and Al, now 33 feet (10 metres) long with the crests over his eyes reddening, is shown drinking at a pond. Though they feed, within the hour an adult female Allosaurus scavenges the kill. The pack decides to wait for a few hours until the Diplodocus is brought down by heat exhaustion and his illness. But as the Allosaurus gather for the kill, Al is struck down by the neck of the Diplodocus. Al, now 30 feet (9 meters) long, is joined by several other Allosaurus and they manage to panic the herd into leaving a weakened sick individual behind. Three years pass, and a herd of Diplodocus are migrating across the prehistoric salt lake. Unable to escape, the trapped Allosaurus pair die of exhaustion, their corpses left to Anurognathus. Al luckily avoids the same fate as he had learnt to avoid carrion and the large carnivores that it usually attracts. She struggles to free herself, but fails. Meanwhile, a female Allosaurus, attracted to the Stegosaurus carcass, also gets stuck. Al comes across a dead Stegosaurus and an Allosaurus waiting for death in a pit of sticky mud, which forms a predator trap. Later, he snatches a lizard from a branch to keep him satisfied. He has not yet learned how to ambush so he fails to kill one of the swifter, smaller dinosaurs. When the mother leaves the hatchlings temporarily, a year-old Allosaurus comes out of hiding and kills one of them (luckily, the victim was not Al).Īl is then shown at the age of two years. She brings them to a river bank and the hatchlings start to hunt for insects. Al and his siblings hatch and are helped out of the nest by their mother. After the ghost of Big Al wanders the museum passing by his own skeleton and a nest of fossilized eggs, the film then travels back in time to 145 Mya showing a similar nest. The special begins at the University of Wyoming, showing the bones of a sauropod followed by an Allosaurus named Big Al.
