Two weeks after the rescue of TyrannosaurusRex, the time has come for the park to stock up their newly designed Carboniferous themed bio-dome building with animals from the Carboniferous period. Naturally, this means capturing a decent number of prehistoric invertebrates, much to Leon's trepidation. But over the course of the shenanigans that ensue, it soon becomes clear that unnerving invertebrates could well be the least of the rescue team's problems. Meanwhile, back at the park, life continues to unfold happily, but not without several new characters and potential big plans being brought into the fold.
