"The Unnatural History of Dr. MedusaSaurus Ph.D." is the second segment of the twenty-fourth episode of the Disney Channel animated series, Hamster & Gretel.
Synopsis[]
Gretel and Bailey meet a strange paleontologist at a museum.
Plot[]
Bailey brings Gretel to the Horsegobble Natural History Museum to see fossils, much to the latter's disinterest. However, the aliens mistakenly awaken paleontologist Dr. MedusaSaurus and animate dinosaur fossils, with which she terrorizes the museum. Kevin sends Hamster to help Gretel once he learns about the situation and informs her that he will come along later on.
When Hamster arrives, he and Gretel get to work defeating the dinosaur fossils, but they prove to be too difficult for them. Gretel then calls Kevin, who informs her that the metal plates used to connect the fossils are magnetic. Hamster and Bailey use a giant magnet powered by the minivan's battery to catch the fossils, rendering Kevin unable to assist them. Dr. MedusaSaurus reveals that her plan was to seek revenge on the museum founder, Melvin Horsegobble, she was the one who discovered the fossils, and that her real name is Julie Jennings while Horsegobble was merely her intern who had knocked her into a tar pit contaminated with toxic waste and left her in suspended animation for the past 30 years. Realizing his mistake, Horsegobble has the museum renamed after her and his findings relinquished to her.

Trivia[]
- Gretel managed to distract the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton by tossing one of its own bones to fetch, just like Rexy from Night at the Museum.
- The species of the bear Hamster used to fight the raptor skeletons was labeled "Ursa major", which is actually a constellation.
- The way the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton breathed at Horsegobble when it cornered him was similar to how the Tyrannosaurus from Jurassic Park did to Alan Grant and Lex Hammond.
