I love nature and wildlife. Sir Richard Attenborough is the voice of my education. It's terrifying to think he might not be here one day. He is the loveliest man.

I certainly agree abundantly be lost without him be lost without that person. Wonderful.

Imagine a Subnautica game with these creatures, megalodon, etc... 😱

Fossils were one of Sir David's first interests.

So now the extraordinary Sir Attenborough is back with...... a Jurassic sea monster? Let me tell you, that creature reminds me of a childhood nightmare because it looks like a super-sized Liopleurodon.

He so brave I would not be on that boat with that underneath me

Sounds like my biology professor 😂

i found a vertebrae of one these walking my dogs

Imagine getting chased down by a pliosaur in open water.... Happy nightmares!

That reminds me, I think some of us happen to be waiting for Prehistoric Planet 1 & 2 to be released on DVD In America for the last couple years. That goes double for the 2nd Volume of Deadly Dinosaurs with Steve Backshall. There’s been nothing but Volume 1 featuring 5 episodes for the last 6 years. If I remember correctly Deadly Dinosaurs with Steve Backshall featured 10 episodes. Therefore, there’s been nothing but Volume 1. Deadly Dinosaurs with Steve Backshall should’ve been released as a 2 Disc DVD Set in America like the UK release.

A Marine reptile that big would chew that boat up.

I'm happy to hear Attenborough cite an accurate size estimate of 10 meters for a giant Pliosaurus. That's the confirmed max size range for giant pliosaurs going from the Late Jurassic up to the Mid Cretaceous. Several known giant specimens (such as two remarkably well-preserved skeletons from Colombia) might be subadults, so they could have theoretically grown a little bigger, which along with some fragmentary fossils suggest possible lengths of over 12 meters, and (very optimistically) maybe 15 meters, but certainly nothing close to the monstrously oversized portrayal in Walking with Dinosaurs. But even at just 10 meters, pliosaurs were the undisputed top predators of their domains and the largest marine reptiles of their time, the latter mosasaurs grew longer but also weren't as hefty nor did they have such huge skulls.

Nice!

Has this species been named yet? I'm very curious about it.

thay look a lot bigger than a double dekker bus to me.

im confused at how he knew it was in the rock?

It looks like the Meg underwater

Looks similar to mosasaur
