Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction, formerly titled Prehistoric Park: Reborn, is a Prehistoric Park fanfic by Flameal15k.The initial plot is the same as the series: Zoologist Nigel Marven travels back in time to rescue animals on the brink of extinction. The plan is to bring them to the safety of the present and give them a second chance.While the initial chapters are merely adaptations of the episodes from the original series, from Chapter 32 onwards, the story is original content.In addition to the main story, there are also two side stories: Inside Their World, which follows the residents of the park when the camera isn't rolling; and The Untold Stories, which follows the lives of the staff off-camera. Additionally, the story has a Spacebattles forum. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: The City of Cactus features antelope in North America. Justified,, though - these are future antelope descendant from the gemsbok, which were introduced to New Mexico and currently have a population of about 3,000 living in that state, as they have no predators to cut down on their numbers. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The story has an explanation for how the time portal was created, though it hasn't been elaborated on that much. It's implied to have something to do with anomalies. Addtionally, the island the park is on was inhabited prior to the park being built, and some of the natives are still living there. The fact they barely react to the presence of dinosaurs hints that they might have something to hide... While in canon Nigel only rescued prehistoric animals, he also brings back several prehistoric plants in this story. It takes one hundred thirty one chapters for the park's nursery to finally show up, though. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_254fb9cb | comment |
Anticlimax: An interesting one — during "The Tale of the Sail", the team goes back to rescue Dimetrodon, and literally encounters one the minute they step out of the portal, along with a small group of Edaphosaurus. They only need a few minutes to bait it into the portal. Downplayed, though, because there are still plenty of other creatures they still need to rescue. Additionally, they still need to rescue more Dimetrodon in order to estabolish a breeding colony]]. A similar example happens during "Sea Lions, Seals, and Walruses, Oh My!", when Elise and Tristan go looking for the Caribbean Monk Seal... only to literally trip over one the minute they step out of the time portal. Once hundred percent Played for Laughs. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The final episode of Sea Monsters referred to the Most Dangerous Sea of All Time (The Western Interior Seaway) as Hell's Aquarium. The name of the chapter in this story where Nigel goes to rescue the creatures of that sea is titled Return to Hell's Aquarium. When Big Al find evidence of a female in his territory, he initially feels amorous, before instantly growing cautious, wit the story noting his previous experiences with the opposite sex were responsible for more than few injuries. In The Ballad of Big Al, his impulsiveness in attempting to charm a female resulted in him almost getting torn apart, resulting in multiple broken ribs and an arm injury. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
The Titanichthys are explicitly noted to be immune to attack due to their large size, as they are both too big to be attacked by most creatures and are also heavily armored. Their size isn't enough to discourage an equally massive Dunkleosteus from giving chase, though. | |

Humans Through Alien Eyes | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_44a893af | comment |
Humans Through Alien Eyes: Humans are frequently noted to be odd in many of the animal POVs, leaving many of the animals unsure about how they should act toward them. This can also be extended to any other prehistoric creature that appears in each chapter, as creatures we can recognize are completely alien to the temporally displaced residents of the park. | |

Hemisphere Bias: Most of the chapters focus on animals from North America. Granted, there are a huge number of well-known fossil sites from North America (including Hell Creek, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the Texas Red Beds, among others), but it is still a rather obvious bias. | |

On the non-paleontological side of things, the author mentions that whenever the team goes diving, they always make a safety stop to let nitrogen gas filter out of their blood so that they do not suffer decompression sickness. According to the author, this is because he has actually been Scuba diving and knows all of the rules associated with it. | |

Never Smile at a Crocodile: The park has not only Deinosuchus, but also Sarcosuchus. According to Word of God, it's the same one from Chased By Dinosaurs. There's also a bunch of smaller prehistoric crocodilians running around the park, such as Brachychampsa, Borealosuchus, Gaviolosuchus, and Thoracosaurus. And that's not including all the land living crocodilians (such as Diplosaurus, Fruitachampsa, and Carnufex) and crocodilian relatives (such as Smilosuchus, Postosuchus, and Vivaron) that have also been rescued. | |

This was the very first time they got the portal to work, and apparently, robots were used to film the creatures. As for all of the inaccuracies, it’s stated that the producers did not want to get criticized for using ideas not supported by paleontology at the time. | |

Swiss-Cheese Security | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_72c07237 | comment |
Swiss-Cheese Security: The park's security teams seem to be rather inept, seeing how they completely fail to notice that Terence and Matilda have escaped their exhibits multiple times. Per Word of God, this is because they are regularly trying to deal with the smaller animals of the park, who tend to escape their exhibits with annoying regularity. They finally catch onto the fences being broken in Chapter 22, and immediately set to work repairing them. That being said, they do tend to place a bit of thought into the enclosures and what goes in them — the tyrannosaur exhibit, at the very least, has a moat around it, in addition to the obvious fencing. Then again, nobody knew that tyrannosaurs could swim. | |

Always a Bigger Fish: A frequent occurrence in the story, where a predator or other creature that is proving to be an obstacle or danger for Nigel and his team is quickly confronted with a larger, more dangerous creature. Nigel often exploits this to rescue both creatures. It happens enough that it gets a Lampshade Hanging in "Rise of the Mammals". | |

Wham Episode: Chapter 135: New Blood Part 1: Not only is it revealed that the events of ''Walking with Dinosaurs actually happened in this series (it was the first time that the time portal was used), but the team actually ends up encountering the dinosaurs from said series, officially making it a crossover with said series. Chapter 140: New Blood Part 6: An anomaly appears, confirming this story is a crossover with Primeval. Additionally, It's also revealed that the natives of the island the park is on are aware of the animalies, and that the stone pillars they have built out of magnetite are meant to contain them. Chapter 144: Dinosaurs from the East 4: just as a hadrosaur is about to be killed by a pack of Dryptosaurus, a Prehistoric Dragon interrupts the hunt. The Land Outside of Time: Where to begin?! Not only do creatures from Monster Hunter and The Witcher show up, but so does Commander Flame and Vivian, confirming this story to be part of the Conquest in the Name of Advancement! Mythos. Interactions with Commander Flame also reveal that the park itself is actually part of a Land Outside of Time. Then, just as they see Flame and Vivian off to finish their business in the Zero Dawn world, a machine unburies itself and knocks them all out. Afer waking up in and subsequently escaping the Sun Ring, the group has to deal with a massive number of portals opening simultaneously when one of Flame's enemeis arrives to tie up loose ends. Finally, the very last part of the chapter confirms that Nigel was at least partially aware of what happened, indicating that the Saurus family patriarch is also aware of his children's misadventures. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A huge amount of this was use to hint at the story being a crossover with Primeval: One of the park's Edestus wanders into an underwater cave and finds the bones of several animals too large to have entered said cave, and also sees a 'lightshow' that scares it away. Several strange pillars show up that are arranged in circles and are made of magnetite. Magnetite is noted as being capable of containing anomalies in the original series. The park has a natural occurring poison filled valley that contains the carcasses of several dead animals...some of which are dinosaurs. It also has people going through it, some in what appear to be half-tracks. | |

Giant Equals Invincible | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_ac7df45e | comment |
Giant Equals Invincible: It's pretty rare for particularly large animals to be threatened by any other creatures in the series. The Alamosaurus from the first chapter are completely unfazed by the appearance of giraffe sized pterosaurs and horse sized raptors. When they see a T. rex, though, they decide to avoid taking their chances. The Sauropods from Dino Birds barely react to Yutyrannus standing right next to them. They were more worried about the nearby volcano erupting. Also Subverted during "Time of the Titans" — the various sauropods present are visibly nervous when they find themselves surrounded by dozens of predators. In "Death of a Dynasty", everything, regardless of size, is running from the meteor impact. The Titanichthys are explicitly noted to be immune to attack due to their large size, as they are both too big to be attacked by most creatures and are also heavily armored. Their size isn't enough to discourage an equally massive Dunkleosteus from giving chase, though. | |

Another meta one, but the author reacted with extreme rage when the story was plagiarized on the Prehistoric Park Fanon wiki. | |

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_cdc4a218 | comment |
Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: To test the effects of the time portal, people are sent back to — among other things — remove infamous dictators from power. When they come back to the present, nothing changed, confirming that the portal doesn't affect their timeline. Instead, it creates alternate timelines. Because of this, the Park can potentially rescue extinct animals, even famous individuals like Big Al, without the risk of causing a paradox or otherwise damaging the time stream. | |

Addtionally, the island the park is on was inhabited prior to the park being built, and some of the natives are still living there. The fact they barely react to the presence of dinosaurs hints that they might have something to hide... | |

Xenofiction: The animals aren't humanized at all in this story, and it shows. A big result of this is that we get to see how strange many modern animals are to extinct ones. This is especially true in the case of Ben, because as an arthropod from the Carboniferous, the only vertebrates he would have seen were (essentially) lizards and amphibians, yet now he is seeing some creatures that are bigger than he is. | |

Improbable Taxonomy Skills | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_e187000b | comment |
Improbable Taxonomy Skills: The end-of-chapter notes tend to include the genus and species name of each creature rescued, something that is usually rather rare, even in the source material and other Prehistoric Park fanfiction. Some chapters include this simply for the sake of keeping things clear to the readers — the mission to rescue dinosaurs from Jurassic North America explicitly lists Big Al as an Allosaurus fragilus. That example, though, was also because all Allosaurus species from that time and location were rescued (for reference, North America has five different species of Allosaurus — A. fragilus, A. lucasi, A. jimmadseni, A. atrox, and A. amplus. And ironically, that example was subject to a retcon when the author found out that Big Al was actually an Allosaurus jimmadseni. | |

Divergent Character Evolution | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_e5d37e0f | comment |
Divergent Character Evolution: In-universe example with the park's Allosaurus, and applied on a species level — since the park rescued multiple species of Allosaurus (some of which are now defunct), they're able to observe the unique nuances that differ between each species in both appearance and behavior. The more common Allosaurus fragilis, for example, really live up to their epithet of being the Lion of the Jurassic, being the Fantastic Fauna Counterpart to lions (including apparently living in prides). A. jimmadseni, meanwhile (the one that Big Al and Alicia belong to) are monogamous and live in mated pairs, though it isn't specified if this is serial monogamy (pairs seek out different partners each season) or a more devoted relationship. Finally, A. lucasi is solitary except during mating season. | |

Big Creepy-Crawlies: In addition to the Carboniferous arthropods rescued in the original series, the park is also home to several types of eurypterids, including the earliest known species, Pentecopterus. Chapter 27 sees the rescue of Websteroprion, an animal from the Devonian period that was essentially a giant Bobbit worm. And while it isn't the focus animal, Chapter 31 has the team save a group of palaeodictyopterans. | |

Crossover | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: With Walking with Dinosaurs, or at least the specials: the Chased by Dinosaurs and Sea Monsters specials are said to have happened in this story, and were apparently practice missions for the actual rescues. Several animals from those series appear in Chapter 3, with the author stating they are the same animals from those specials. Explicitly becomes one in Chapter 135, as at that point the team goes back to rescue Coelophysis, and ends up encountering the Postosuchus from New Blood. The end of Chapter 140 confirms it is also a crossover with Primeval, following the reveal of an anomaly. This was heavily foreshadowed in the previous chapters, though. The end of Chapter 144 confirms it is also a crossover with Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real, following the appearance of a Prehistoric Dragon. Was foreshadowed in earlier chapters with the carcass of a mosasaur having charred bones. | |

Scary Stinging Swarm: A horde of bees ends up chasing Tristan, Pamela, and a Sinocalliopteryx in the first segment of Sea Lions, Seals, and Walruses, Oh My! Instead of Honey Bees, though, they're actually members of the genus Melipona, a type of stingless bee. They do bite, though. They weren't initially interested in the humans or the dinosaur, but the compsognathid ended up tackling Pamela, who collided with Tristan, who then hit the hive. | |

| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_ef56c5be | comment |
Exotic Entree: Inverted. Chapter 171 has Elise and Sean eat red lionfish to help the environment by culling an invasive species' numbers (the fish is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, not the Carribean). | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: It's made very clear in several chapters of this sidestory that many of the prehistoric inhabitants of the park have no idea what to make about each other and the modern residents of the park, leading many to be overly cautious around creatures most people would find familiar. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
Vera and Marcus' Mushroom Samba in Double Crested Lizard appears to be based on Evan Cross' from Primeval: New World, including its cause — being sneezed on by a Pachycephalosaurus that consumed hallucinogenic materials. | |

Running Gag | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In Time of the Titans, whenver an animal falls over, it will usually be trampled by several smaller animals. This happens to a Torvosaurus and a Saurophaganax. The only predator to avert this is a Ceratosaurus. Note that both of the trampled animals survived being trampled by other creatures. The Saurophaganax', in particular, only comes out of being stepped on by a Stegosaurus and a Ceratosaurus'' with a few broken ribs. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Just about every chapter is named after the target animal of the chapter's rescue. The only exception to the rule is The Great American Safari, and even this is a Downplayed example, as there is no real target animal of the episode - it instead focuses on rescuing animals from all over North America. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the fourth segment of Rise of the Mammals, Alice suggests that the time portal could be used to rescue dinosaurs from movies like Jurassic Park, since the group already rescued as prehistoric dragon. While this is more or less treated as a joke In-Universe, this actually happens in the fourth part of Time of the Titans. | |

| Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction (Fanfic) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The author goes to extreme lengths to make sure that each chapter is up to date with recent discoveries in the fossil record. All dinosaurs are accurately feathered. It's explicitly noted that terror birds died out due to climate change and not due to being outcompeted by mammalian predators. Contrary to popular belief, terror birds would not have competed with saber-toothed cats for food, as they are specialized in hunting completely different prey. That being said, the author has admitted to keeping any artistic license that were present in the original series (namely, having Smilodon live side-by-side with Phorusrhacos when the latter disappeared before the former evolved, and having Nyctosaurus, Deinosuchus and Albertosaurus appear in the same mission). On the non-paleontological side of things, the author mentions that whenever the team goes diving, they always make a safety stop to let nitrogen gas filter out of their blood so that they do not suffer decompression sickness. According to the author, this is because he has actually been Scuba diving and knows all of the rules associated with it. Additionally, after accidentally colliding with a bee hive, Tristan, Pamela, and a ''Sinocalliopteryx immediately run toward a nearby cave. Hiding in a dark place is one of the recommendations when being chased by bees, who depend heavily on sight in addition to smell. | |
