Tape script

Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Prehistoric Animal Museum. I'm Ann Anderson, your guide, and I'm going to tell you about some amazing huge creatures such as woolly rhinos, mammoths and sabre-toothed cats. Feel free to ask questions. Well, let's start here. You can see what the Earth looked like about 10 thousand years ago. There was ice and snow everywhere. These animals look like elephants. Look! They're eating leaves. They are mammoths. They were really huge animals and had long thick hair. Oh! Is it a cat? Or is it a tiger? It has big teeth. Why are they so big? It's a sabre-toothed tiger. Its teeth are just huge, very frightening. They were dangerous angry animals and ate meat. And I think it's a beautiful animal. Even the teeth. And where are the dinosaurs? I can't see any. It's because dinosaurs disappeared long before that time. Mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers lived at the same time as early man. People hunted and ate mammoths. And I'm sure they were afraid of sabre-toothed tigers. Now let's look at this exhibit. Can you name it? It looks like a rhinoceros, doesn't it? In fact, it's a woolly rhinoceros. It lived in Siberia.
