Is it free?
Not available In Canada :(
Not available in my country.
"sorry this video is not available in your region" Bro, this is so disappointing, and this is why people pirate stuff. I mean we can't get it legally even if we wanted too :(
That looks like the dolphins cousin that just got out of prison
😅😂🤣
LMAOOOOO
Really ever heard about the Hardcore gangster - shonisaurus
Or Mafia Lord - Shastasaurus 😂😂😂😂😂😎
I prefer to describe them as pshyco murder dolphin fish lizards
That's convergent evolution for ya
David Attenborough + dinosaurs= yet again another good dinosaur obsessed night (next one of you say "nOt a DinoSauR" Im going to call it a one just to piss you all off, my comment is a general statement)
Not a dinosaur lmao
@UniqueGuy24 They really spared no expense.
I myself very much pretty obsessed by dinosaurs. Never get bored.
Math Desm i see what you did there
@UniqueGuy24 Yup hammond the jurassic Park Genuis
He was a middle aged man when I was a boy and I am now 54 David Attenborough you are an amazing man and your documentaries are truly legendary keep up the great work so the generations ahead can enjoy animals in the future.
I remember that.
Yeah only through his documentaries.
I had to watch twice. The size comparison between the man and that massive beast was unreal and put into perspective just how ungodly big those things were. How I wish we could have seen them alive. I'm so awed that they even existed at all.
To be fair a white shark can be quite large as well and they're still around to this day! The same goes for orcas but they don't quite have the mouth that the white shark has or the temnodontosaurus. It sure resembles a dolphin! We shouldn't forget the blue whale which dwarfs many creatures on this planet - but of course they mostly only eat krill I believe?
You have seen them alive. Actually you might have been them for a while
This guy could make reading the phonebook interesting.
Yeah! They should use him for more science and wildlife films.
lol at “this guy”. David Attenborough is so renowned that even my spell check knows his name.
This guy is but just "this guy"
*Uptown* that’s Sir David Attenborough to you, peasant
"This Guy" has worked decades in this industry.He's currently 93
I’m going to miss Attenborough when he’s gone. What a legend.
Thought you meant Richard Attenborough for a moment there before I stopped being stupid.
The Pizzo bloody oath ! Yes 👍
The Pizzo not if you go first
Isaac H put me out of my misery
*mr not miss
I been watch David Attenborough since I was a kids. Love his voice and his passion in nature, you're the best no one can ever replace you!
Sir David Attenborough's voice is audible nectar to my ears.
So soothing to hear him narrate.
And here I am, scared of the seaweed that touches my leg.
Now imagine that thing touching your leg
Imagine Joe Biden touching your leg
@@TamponTea He already has 🥺😭😭
@Antonio Monte now imagine swimming in the evening at the beach, almost pitch black, and bumping your feet into a sea weed.

I wanna thank all the archaeologists and paleontologists for their hard work in finding and studying these fossils.
@Semih Sahin Most certainly are!

There’s nothing better than hearing someone with a British accent say the word “flesh.” It’s like scratching an itch you can’t reach.
F-lésh
Your just weird
Luke D - fuck off.
English accent, ENGLISH!
We grew up watching Sir David Attenborough. An absolute treasure.
Not in the UK Government's eyes. They just cancelled him (or rather, the last program of his current series, which comes to the same thing - you never work for an operation that disrespectful again) for daring to criticise them. The string they pulled was the BBC Director General's corrupt appointment - which they were in complete cahoots on.
If this man passes away Nature will never be the same!! Love this guy. Much respect for his knolege on our past and present sea and land creature!! I been watching this show since i was a teen and passed it on to my kids. Thank you.
"IF" 🤨
He will eventually
Can you people stop talking about his eternal sleep. Smh.
Unless we figure out a way to reverse ageing before he dies!
He is ninety-four 😳😔
This thing looks like a killer dolphin. No wonder sharks are still afraid of dolphins. lol
xD
Dolphins are one of the most intelligent sea species amongst whales and octopuses, knowing where to hit a shark in the stomach to instantly kill it. Recognizing their selves, getting high of puffer fish, showing emotion. There has to be empathy to every creature humanity shares this planet with.
If you want a true killer dolphin look up zygophyseter
The fact that Icthyosaurs were neither mammals nor fish, but reptiles is amazing to me. They just look like sharks/dolphins because of convergent evolution. Wild stuff, man...
@@falcoperegrinus82 look up carcinizaion. its even crazier and happens all the time.
This man is a legend. One of my favorite human beings. It's sad that hes getting so old. It will truly be a sad day for humanity when his time comes.
All those helicopter flights are keeping him hyper energized and ready to rumble in the jungle, he could be with us for another 14 years, so don't worry.
Fun Fact: When this fossil was discovered Archaeologists Timothy Drake and Stephen Ward were swinging their pick axes into the ancient clay when Drake lifted his axe and as he did Stephen saw fossilized bone. He immediately screamed, “Tim! No! Don’t!” and that is how it got it’s name.
Tim No Don’t asaurus.
😆
😂
Nice😂👏🏻
_I could listen to David Attenborough speak all day_
I love watching David and his passion for these creatures. And ALL animals for that matter. He really breaths life into every documentary he does. A true professional and gentleman.
Dave is getting old now.. I'm happy I grew up getting to listen to him narrate all the great episodes he did.🙂
Wow, this takes me back to when David did a series about fossils back in the 90s called 'Lost Worlds, Vanished Lives'. I still have the DVD set, bought from the BBC directly. Don't ever stop, David!
15000000 years later, someone, somewhere:
This specimen found alongside huge reptile fossils is Attenboroughsaurus
Omg sir david just died
@@tgmtf5963 really?
@@darthnhullificius6242 he died alongside the reptile fossil
😂
Curiously, there *is* a prehistoric marine reptile, specifically a basal pliosauroid (short necked plesiosaur), called Attenborosaurus.
Literally grew up watching documentaries narrated by Attenborough. I’m gonna miss him when he’s gone
Don’t think about that, just appreciate him while he’s here
You're assuming he'll go before you do.
'Literally grew up'? So...grew up, you mean? Idiot.
@@markfox1545 who hurt you mark?
Imagine if he's your grandpa and reads you a book every night
You would never want to goto sleep because the stories are too good
Tucked in? Good. I have a new book i want to read...and its called....Tarzan meets Sinbad 😱😱
Why would a dinosaur read me books at night?
I WOULD LOVE HIM TO BE MY GRANDPA!!!
Infact, im a Dino-nerd for some reason😐
Never mind reading a book every night, I would have him narrate my life.
"And now we watch as he pauses his current TH-cam video to focus on the task at hand, wiping his ass."
I'm 20 years old and I'm so lucky I witnessed this man growing up he made history and natural world sound more incredible
I really like this guys voice.
@Randominator Oh, look, you took time to correct grammar on the internet. You must feel so proud of yourself for doing so. Tell me, do you get paid to correct grammar because if you don't perhaps you should get a job correcting the grammar of professional writers.

Thank you!
He is over 90 years old in this video
Oh god, I worked in this hallways when I was younger. 😍😍😍 Löwentormuseum in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. Such a beautiful museum. Its awesome to see it again....
In the past few days, I have seen several videos about ichthyosaurs. I had never before heard them called "sea dragons," and I did not realize they were so interesting. I see more ichthyosaurs in my immediate future.
I’d like to take a moment to appreciate David’s work. He is another one of my favorites.
note to self: when time machine is functioning, do not pet the dolphins.
Hahahahaha
What i love most about films like this is when they allude to or even explain the questions that even the scientists who created this film don't know yet. It makes this world feel so much more undiscovered from behind this pixelated wall... i gotta get out more
Sir David Attenborough is a treasure of the English speaking world.
Sir David Attenborough is a treasure of the world period!
Ever heard of subtitles bro? The man's a legend worldwide.
@@hyperspacejester7377 it is not just what he says, but how he says it. So much is lost in subtitles. While he has written nearly 200 books, he is most know for his raido and television work.
I sencerely hope that there is a David Attenborough in every modern language.
You mean a treasure of planet Earth
and he has great legs too!
David is the only good thing left at the BBC
Most intelligent thing said this century goes to you!
David’s a legend like fr . The voice brings you back to those old videos you can tell he loved marine monsters and Cretaceous monsters
Every time I have trouble of sleeping, I play David’s soft gentle voice on youtube. I always fall a sleep afterward. The man is a legend.

I LOVE listening to Mr. Attenborough's voice, his voice has SO MUCH CHARACTER AND TEXTURE. It's like listening to a bedtime story when he speaks. 🥰
I love that his brother played John Hammond in Jurassic Park, and now he is doing a piece on dinosaurs 🦕
I live in Stuttgart and i can say, you should visit this museum when you love such stuff. Just amazing
So it was basically the Jurassic equivalent of a killer whale? Awesome.
No a panda bear actually
Exactly, but with no echolocation, they relied primarily on their sight which had to make hunting harder over all. They could probably hunt on moonlit nights when nothing else could see it coming. They also were not warm blooded but may have had ways to deal with that issue making it only a little problem.
@@cadenrolland5250 Pandas don't need echolocation to find bamboo.
@@FlintSparkedStudios It couldn't hurt

This man has talked me to sleep during many afternoon naps. David Attenborough = quality naps.
And I suggest, there should be a special channel for Sir Attenborough commentaries. He's always my favorite.
Sir David, I’m fairly certain you are one of the most loved and appreciated gentleman, in the history of our planet and likely the most diversely knowledgable about said planet. I think most would agree that we don’t quite know how to thank you for opening our minds, eyes and hearts. Your voice will live on forever. 🥰🇨🇦
I love David. My dad and I, along with my brothers, would always watch "Nerd Shows" as we call them, and he's voiced almost all of them.
It still blows my mind to contemplate the incomprehensibly large amount of time ago that these creatures lived. All of human existence could fit 100 times over into the time since these magnificent beasts lived, and modern humans 1000 times or more.
And yet I still feel some sympathy for that baby icthyosaur, just minding its own business tens of millions of years ago, when this massive beast chewed it up and ended its life. I wonder if they felt fear or pain? Whenever I hear of a prehistoric creature that died with another creature in its belly, I always wonder what the predator died of.
Probably died halfway trough digesting (could have been diseases or old age) and fossilized with stuff still in its stomach
If he called and asked me about my vehicle's extended warranty,.. I would give him my pin numbers.
Mad that it was found in Stuttgart, and when you look at how far inland Stuttgart is. Fascinating !
David sir is just like a old grandpa telling stories to their grandchildren.....
Those giant monsters that lived so long ago both scare and fascinate me.
Yes , they would be at the top of the food chain even today !
Just love the way he is explains and telling about the animal, and he haves a relaxing voice
My favorite story teller! Live well and be happy David Attenborough !
"With eyes the size of footballs..."
That doesn't really sound impressive.
**Remembers I'm an American watching BBC programming**
Oh...
Shiiiiiit, football as in football everywhere else. this never crossed my mind and i am scared
American pro-size footballs are still big. But yeah he's talking futballs
@@croakingfrog3173 no he’s talking about footballs, asin a foot ball, not a hand egg
@@croakingfrog3173 ya like what? An eye the size of an American football is massive!
@@TehDawg What you talking bout mang? Whether its a football or a football its still a huge eye!
As a German I am very happy that he pronounced Stuttgart correctly. Thank you for not butchering it, love from Germany 🖤❤💛
David Attenborough can do no wrong!
@@sicklysloth4362 yes he is a legend
such a great person, love his describes about wild life, my favorite documentary.
Its crazy to imagine what life would be like if these things were still swimming around
Today we have great white sharks and orcas the same size that can eat you alive.
He has that voice that is so believable. If this guy was to narrate about unicorns, then they must of existed.
Or dragons
"These were sea-dragons", Attenborough said on this video! So I happily hold it in my heart that once upon a time dragons did exist! 😀😁😁
Most impressive was the mouse hiding in the cave.
I'm 41 years old and I remember as a kid watching Trials of life VCR tapes with David Attenborough. Amazing!
there's nothing I can say other than amazing. and the narrative is perfect.
Ever since I was a kid I've loved the subject of dinosaurs. The only thing I didn't like about the subject was all the overly technical names the scientist gave them. It's like they were all trying to one-up each other to see who could give their find the most science-jargon name they could think of.
Why couldn't they just be honest and name them something like, "Stumbledontosaurus" or "Luckyfindasaurus" or maybe "Governmentgrantasaurus" or something like that.
"Unexpectedlydiscoveredsomewhereinthedesertbypurechanceopteryx"
Dude this isn't the 20th century anymore. You have many people naming new species, these days, in more creative ways. Kaikaifilu, a marine reptile named after a sea serpent in Australasian mythology. Gelae belae, literally named after "jelly belly".
There's a dinosaur named Thanos. (True scientific name is Thanos Simonnatoi)
The names range from Mei long, a species of Troodontid the size of a duck who's name translates into "sleeping dragon", to Opisthocoelicaudia skarzynskii, a sauropod named after the fact that it would have been thicker than a bowl of oatmeal
Well ichthyosaurs aren’t dinosaurs actually. And they do the same thing with modern animals. It’s just that most people generally refer to them by their common name.
And with the naming part you seem to not understand. It’s just scientific standard. Look up taxonomy and you’ll understand. Essentially when a new species is discovered they must be classified, put into a kingdom, phylum, order, class, family, genus and species. What they will then refer to them by is there genus and species name. Take the Tyrannosaurus Rex example. Most words have actual meanings. Usually coming from Greek or Latin. Tyrannosaurus means tyrant lizard and Rex means king. So, the T. Rex’s name literally means king of the tyrant lizards.
Most prehistoric animals are just referred to by their genus name such as Spinosaur, ankylosuar, triceratops.
These fossils are real works of art; even if one knows nothing about them, one can still enjoy just looking at them!
@TH-cam Sucks ass how so
@TH-cam Sucks ass yes, At least like 99% of it. But still pretty cool.
We should find a way so David Attenborough lives forever I really need him... His documentaries are the best
Just love the voice of Altenborrow
Love this man. I have learned so much from his shows.
I remeber hearing this guys brother was the guy who played the owner of jurassic park..
Chue Lor wow really! That’s wild
No way!! Haha
yes, thats right, the film actor and director richard attenborough. davids brother.
Yeah, Richard Attenborough , his brother. Guy won an oscar for directing 'Ghandi' , i believe.
He passed away recently though. David has lost his wife as well, kinda sad.
..yeah Richard Attenborough, great actor, director and humanitarian.. or, lord Attenborough as he became known.. 🙂
Fun fact. This is the David Attenborough. His brother, Richard Attenborough, played “John Hammond” in Jurassic Park.
Great info
I love this so much, thank you DA for all you contribute to education.
dang it...gotta have a membershipt to watch the whole thing.
That's one huge Dolphin
Too bad its more closly related to a lizard than a dolphin
@Please Complete All Fields Yes it's a great example of convergent evolution. Like crocodiles and phytosaurs.
Please Complete All Fields well yes it’s all programmed in by the ET’s how every creature should evolve when they carried life to this planet. There are ultimate designs every species eventually evolves into.
Dieter Gaudlitz the extra chunk of brain mammals have is due to heightened sense of smell compared to other classes of animals.
@@razatiger22 not by a lot, to call these lizard is a huge stretch, but they were diapside reptiles yes, but they branched away from the lizard lineage not long after the diapsid branched away of synapsids.
oml that fossil of the dinosaurs backbone all mangled and the other small bones in its stomach is jsut so cool, like how did it die like that and be so pristine… it’s amazing
I always get so hyped the moment I hear David's voice
Sir David single-handedly shaped my perception of planet Earth and all its inhabitants, past and current - and I’m certain there are millions like me. Him and Jacques Cousteau. I was lucky to have a father who shares their love for nature to make it personal for me by taking me exploring, investigating and diving. Without them, I would be another person today.
So, about that eye...was it bigger than a colossal squid's ?
I think he meant the biggest eye of anything alive at the time.
@@mikes5637 or in proportion? i think your right
If it was the size of a soccer ball (thats whats europeans mean when they say football right?) then yes it was way way bigger.
@@mr.mercury4247 colossals eye was as big as dinner plates
@@stillatin well then it's really close. A good way to know which was bigger would be to weigh them, but it's not like we have any ichthyosaur eyeballs to weigh so it will most likely just remain a mystery.
Was about to scroll past this but saw David Attenborough and had to click. Coming away with dinosaur knowledge I didn't plan on learning but I'm glad I did.
I just love how you talk
Funny to think the teeth aren’t shaped like blades. The blades are shaped like the teeth. Haha
The Blades are the sworn protectors of the Emperor
For some reason I thought the title said “Jurassic Park killer”
Truly a blessing when Attenborough narrates a documentary on the first animals to exist on Earth
Not the firsrt ones, that title belongs to tiny seaworms
The footage of the dinosaur swimming, the ambient SFX sound exactly like a Command & Conquer Tiberium briefing cutscene. :P
Of course, it goes without saying that the great David Attenborough had a Temnodontosaurus as a pet when he was young.
I don't think he's quite THAT old.
PBS did a great job by selecting David Attenborough as the host of this show
His voice is really amazing and it feels as if he does all this effortlessly even at the age of 92 !
I hope they save Attenborough's voice so they can still continue to give us documentaries with his narration long after he's gone. And give the money to his family. Legend.
that presentation was spectaculair !
they almost look like a sturgeon, we have them here in Idaho, and they get big too,
Convergent evolution. A long, thin snout is excellent for eating fish, which is why you see them in everything from reptiles and fish to dolphins and herons.
Sturgeon do look prehistoric, don't they? But, I think they are really good eating. I just hope they don't get as large as ol' temnodontosaurus. (I wonder. If ichthyosaurs existed today, would they be on the menu?)
@@jasondaniel918 I'm sure people would eat them, just like they do with whales and turtles. Maybe they dodged a bullet there.
@Gi Gi Oh, farts and buggers! I lOVE caviar. It is the part of sturgeon I like best. But, I admit, I will think twice before I buy sturgeon caviar again.
It’s a little weird how this video about an ancient ichthyosaur is getting recommended to everyone just now lol
TH-cam recs bringing us all together to watch old videos yet again.
@@shaunkeith7097 do you fucking mind?
But this video us from this year...
@@shaunkeith7097 lmao fucking creep
As a german, I like how he pronounced Stuttgart correctly.
Great video very insightful and interesting 👍👍
These creatures are scary even after death; why I don't go play in the beach water.
Ryan gst you think this things bad, you should’ve seen Levithan Melowani
The teeth of this animal wren’t exactly made for slicing. They had strong roots, in which indicates that it used its teeth to crush its prey.
The shape of the teeth (bladed and sharply pointed) indicates a slicing function. Having reinforced roots isn't remotely the only adaptation for crushing-the teeth have to be stout all the way to the tip.
If crushing was the mechanism, it’s teeth would be flat. Sharp teeth in animals implies slicing. Give me an example of an animal with sharp teeth, that “crushes” it’s prey.
Döla Freundlich No I disagree many species like temnodontosaurus eurycephalus had very robust jaws, and the back of the jaw packed small robust teeth.
Döla Freundlich One of them is T. rex, the other is livyatan, and another one is an ichthyosaur called Omphalosaurus.
Bk Jeong look at the jaws of temnodontosaurus eurycephalus.
I truly enjoy Sir David!
I have just watched this documentary...absolutely fascinating! 👍
He could talk about anything and I would feel like I was learning.
We're living on borrowed lands... Earth is temporary.
TheJennyWalaShow yup
we are temporary
Right on cool video!!😊
Wow! David Attenborough is wonderful. What a gem of a man. Incredible life this man lives.
The fact that a reptile can end up looking so dolphin/shark-like is amazing to me. Convergent evolution is a hell of a drug!
Dolphins/Sharks look Temnodontosaurus-like, not the other way around.
@@looksirdroids9134 Why?
They don't, they aren't , and it isn't.
@@falcoperegrinus82 Because dolphins are way younger, btw sharks are even older than any marine reptile.
@@darklight6013 the sharks during ichyosaur reign were pretty low on the food chain though. They weren't apex predators like they are today

This is awesome! I would love to visit Germany to see this museum. I would have to spend about a month because of all the things there I want to see…such as, everything.
