Time Safari promises to take people back in time so they can hunt prehistoric animals, such as a Tyrannosaurus rex.In order to avoid a time paradox, they are very careful to leave history undisturbed on the principle that even the slightest change can cause major changes in the future. Travellers are only allowed to shoot animals that are already about to die, and they are required to stay on a path which hovers slightly above the ground. Hunting trophies are not taken; no souvenir is allowed except a photograph of the hunter standing next to the dead monster.Plot summaryIn the story, a hunter simply known as ?Eckels? is about to embark on his trip. A democratic man named Keith has just won the presidential election the day before, defeating a Stalin-esque dictator named Deutscher. Eckels seems jittery in the time machine, and when he sees the Tyrannosaurus, he becomes afraid and declares killing the dinosaur impossible. His guide, Travis, who is trying to kill the dinosaur himself, tells Eckels he can leave, but Eckels panics and veers off the path.
