Back in prehistory, the world was populated by some of the most amazing creatures that have ever lived. But today, 99% of them are gone.

What if we could bring back some of them back?

What if extinction didn't have to be forever?

Using his knowledge of today’s animal kingdom and the latest research, wildlife adventurer Nigel Marven uses a time portal to take him into the past, on a quest to rescue these long lost creatures.

Once there, Nigel must find out what they eat, how they live and why they become extinct, as well as try to bring them back to the present day, so that they can live once again, in Prehistoric Park.
