T. rex Returns
Episode 1
In episode one of this series Nigel goes back to a time just before Chicxulub impact to rescue the most famous predator of ancient times, the tyrannosaurus rex, but ends up with more than he bargains for when he sends home an adolescent triceratops and a herd of ornithomimus.

A Mammoth Undertaking
Episode 2
In episode two of this series Nigel rescues an injured mammoth from early cro-magnon hunters only to find it won't eat when he gets it back to the park. Upon returning to the past in an attempt to gather food samples for the ill-fated mammoth, he decides to bring back an elasmotherium (a woolly rhino).

Dinobirds
Episode 3
In episode three of this series Nigel endeavors to save some microraptors from an exploding volcano in prehistoric China and ends up rescuing a herd of borealosaurus (referred to as titanosaur) in the process. Back at the park, staff deal with a heatwave, an expectant mom, and a pair of unruly tyrannosaurs.

Saving the Sabretooth
Episode 4
In episode four of this series Nigel attempts to save both a phorusrhacos (a giant ten foot tall bird-like creature) and a smilodon populator (a saber-tooth cat) while staff look on over the very first dinosaur births in the park.

The Bug House
Episode 5
In Episode five of this series Nigel goes back to rescue an arthropleura (a man-sized millepede), a meganeura (a giant dragonfly), and a pulmonoscorpius (a huge scorpion). Park staff tend to an injured tyrannosaur while building an oxygen-rich bug enclosure for their upcoming arrivals.

Bear Necessities
Episode 2
Episode two of this series discuses the linage of the bear species from the dawn bear (a raccoon-sized tree dweller that lived in a subtropical Europe 10 to 20 million years ago) to the evolutionary branching (the brown, black, polar, and panda species) we see throughout the world today.

Dino Turkey
Episode 3
Episode three of this series explores fossil evidence that suggests a velociraptor species of dinosaur escaped its demise during the Chicxulub impact event to evolve into a species which became the predecessor to today's modern bird populations.

Water

Deep Earth
Episode 2
Episode two of this series discuses the relationship between areas where civilizations choose to take root, the fault lines and volcanic regions that generally surround them, and the naturally occurring resource-rich fallout which attracts us to these potentially and often hazardous locations in the first place.

Wind
Episode 3
Episode three of this series explains the winds, weather patterns, and jet-streams circling our planet, how slight changes in their influence create torrential rains in certain areas and droughts in others, and how Christopher Columbus unwittingly utilized these forces while navigating the perimeter of the Atlantic.

Fire
Episode 4
Episode four of this series discuses mankind's discovery and dependance on fire, and how, from the first of our early ancestors who might have re-breathed life into a pile of hot embers leftover from a wildfire, we managed to transport, to our extreme benefit, the sun's energy to the dark side of the planet.

Human Planet
Episode 5
Episode five of this series explores how we, as an independent force outside of nature, have been changing the geography and Earth-systems of the planet to suite our own environmental needs and desires, while examining some of the detrimental and/or beneficial impacts we've created thus far.
