Educating us at this ripe old age. Grateful for your service Sir David Attenborough 👍
He's a globalist climate cultist schill.
Lizard people
he's repeating the information given to him by paleontologists - he's just the 'marketing agency'
He is a smooth talking bs agent telling you lies.
Imagine disliking this man for his genuine talent in explaining things about our natural world to the masses, despite his decades long career, studying and traveling himself. Sir David Attenborough is a rare gem and the best possible example of human curiosity and charity towards the cultivation of knowledge. Don't mind the haters. Sending love from Los Angeles, CA
Sir David Attenborough is itself a great miracle of human nature.
Well spoken :-)
Since he is probably one of the most respected people on the planet, I wonder if someone, somewhere, is working on using AI to create something that could simulate his voice after he passes away.
Bless him, and may he continue to open the natural world for us!
Good idea! @@Texas40years
Simply an outstanding voice! Very informative and soothing at the same time.
Sir David Attenborough is 97 years old! and still releasing masterpieces, may God add him 10 more years of my life
Imagine! Being that old and still so full of total bs! Amazing!
@@garnet4846what bs is he full of? Do you even know?
@@shanepierce2330 he is full of shyte, of the bull variety. A liar telling lies.
@@garnet4846 So like I assumed, you don’t even know. Got it.
@@shanepierce2330 how many times do you need it explained to you? This stuff is half a step away from being ancient aliens, and it has just as much scientific proof to back it up.
Fantastic! Always a delight to hear Sir David Attenborough as well.

David Attenborough just has so many things to say and he’s the best man to care about nature. Which means the ecosystems will be at even more risk of being destroyed when he’s gone.
Sorry I disagree. The guy prefaces everything he says with a dire warning about climate change. Man, not climate, has done more to alter the course of modern ecosystems. Specifically, population growth has put tremendous pressure on wild animals. For him to harp on climate change and not population growth is a travesty
@@CBCycles I’m sorry, I’m certain everyone has forgotten it’s because of man kind that the animal kingdom was in decline of 60%. Man would poach, overhunt, kill everything. It’s man’s fault millions of species are endangered heavily. Without them, without David, we could lose all the other majestic creatures. Man throws trash into the oceans STILL TO THIS DAY. I’m certain everyone has forgotten about this in today’s generation cuz in all honesty, what left is there to care with this generation?
@@CBCycles - He's not shifting the blame, it's just one step removed: the human population boom and all that comes with it is expediting the climate change. This is common knowledge, and doesn't have to be specified every time you mention it.
He's talking about man-caused climate change, as well as man's other alterations to ecosystems, such as pollution, agriculture, invasive species, and direct overhunting and poaching, etc.@@CBCycles
Does he have any kids, or is he mentoring anyone? Perhaps one or more of them could take up the baton. I am sure that besides the people he works with directly, he has inspired many to study biology, ecology, and wildlife and botanical conservation, as well as ways to reform agricultural and animal husbandry practices.
The man is a marvel. So lucid so endlessly curious. And a voice that is delightful to imitate! Oh how you reveal such beasts and bones to us. We praise you ❤
No matter how fearsome land animals can get, they will never top just how terrifying marine life can be 😨
And there are more marine creatures yet to be discovered.
Right?? It’s terrifying!!!😂🤣🙋♀️♥️I love these videos!!
That's only true if you don't count the small ones - spiders, insects (mantids) etc. They are pretty terrifying as well.
@@blucat4 we’re just in the ocean right now… none of those guys yet, but thanks🤪🙋♀️
@@suecastillo4056 I was replying to @jeremy1860's comment .. 🙄 If I had been replying to your comment, you would have seen your name at the front, like here. That's how RUclips comments work.
I continuously adore you David, may you live a 1000 years
Get a life fanboy.
@@garnet4846 17 years of age, 4chan addiction, not too smart, pitiable combination
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 who are you describing?
@@garnet4846 you
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 lol. I don't think so kid. Stay stupid though.
Ever since the ancient times, oceans have been just big bowls of monster soup. Beautiful and scary at the same time.
Sir David Attenborough is adored worldwide; especially here across the pond.
Earliest I’ve been here and this is new to me. Seeing David doing paleontology is a child dream of mine
He's done it for ages.
@@red_life_redemption and now I’m watching it. Haven’t seen his documentaries for awhile, so it’s time I get back to it
@@riceboycruz1300 Nice
He has plesiosaurs named after him for Pete's sake!
Friendly reminder that the blue whale, on average, is double the length of this beast. Yes it lacks the ferociousness, but arent we lucky to be living amongst such amazing giants?
It's going to be such a terrible day when we eventually lose this amazing man.
Paleontology will always be one of the most fascinating studies ever ❤
I love your work Sir David Attenborough and BBC Earth, thank you 🫡
An amazingly fierce, prehistoric creature.
To be such a massive aquatic predator really shows that during that time. Ferocious animals that were quite large was the norm in that time period
It's rare for pliosaurs to appear in video productions, so I'm glad to see this one.
Lol..
Lol
Lol
It's what makes this find so special :) it will be on display here at our museum from the 2nd January!
@@e4t662 Walking with dinosaurs is the master of paleontological mistakes, and the mistake that i hate the most is depicting the Liopleurodon as a 25 meters titan, when in reality the Liopleurodon was much smaller and only 7,1 meters long, with 5,6 and 6,3 for the typical size
Don't listen to Walking with dinosaurs, is a master of paleontological inaccuracies
Sir David Attenborough is always great as narrator of any documentary wether animal documentary or Dinosaur and prehistoric creature documentary like this one. It's about the great apex predator, one of the ultimate marine reptile during Jurassic ocean, Pliosaur 😊.
JESUS will love him a lot cos HE is an animal lover.
@@liliantan2379 David Attenborough is great narrator all of time. His voice seems completely appreciate the animal, prehistoric creature and nature.
@liliantan2379 except like most intellectuals he is an atheist.
This looks really impressive and really breathtaking and David Attenborough could easily pull it off, just as amazing as Prehistoric Planet.
I could be floating in the ocean with one of these things about to eat me. As long as Sir David Attenborough is narrating the experience, I would be okay with it.
Lmao ur funny, ima subscribe
I always referred to T Rex as the Pliosaurus of the land.
We love this!
Pretty cool David Attenborough is still around. I’m glad.
SIR ATTENBOROUGH IS A LIVING LEGEND ...
One reason to force us to believe is your golden voice. Love you from Nepal.
David's almost 98 years old. Still has his faculties too.
Now take a look at Joe Biden LOL
Brilliant to see Sir David here, and what an amazing creature these guys are digging out here. The graphics make the thing all too real, I mean, just imagine this little fella swimming under YOUR boat..
Happy New Year to Sir David and all the team! ⭐👍
On that ship talking is one of nature’s greatest achievements. A magnificent specimen of academia.
Thank you, such a wonderful find and to have Sir David to narrate it too.
It has all been said about Mr Attenborough! It's all wonderful and true. Thank you sir wherever you are today!
Sir Attenborough could narrate a moving glacier and it's still fascinating.
It is so nice of David Attenborough to teach us about the wildlife that existed when he was a wee lad.
Thank you for your great service and narration Sir. You have been always my favourite forever my Sir David Attenborough ❤️🙏
I love David Attenborough
Something that always kind of terrified me is that most of the ancient sea creatures we know of are air breathers, or surface hunters like megaladon or helicoprion, so we have virtually no knowledge of what lived in the depths and oceanic trenches in ancient times. And chances are, we might never know due to the extreme depths and how difficult it would be to conduct archeological excavations down there.
I love his narration
Sir David is a national treasure
World treasure...a gift to the world
what a fascinating documentary! Attenborough always knows how to captivate us with the wonders of nature. but i can't help but wonder if the portrayal of the giant sea monster might be a bit exaggerated. i mean, wasn't the T-Rex in its own right a fascinating creature too? it's like comparing apples to oranges.
I ❤ David Attenborough.
We need more programs from BBC earth! Great video. Would love to a video from BBC Earth that addresses overpopulation, famine, and the consequences of both.
Much respect to those guys digging out the fossil from the side of a cliff.
❤Ahh, the best Narrator of bbc earth! 🌍 💗🫶🏼
I got 8 of these delivered yesterday to my park in Jurussic World Evolution 2.
If you love dinosaurs/Jurussic Park- the game is a wet dream.
Highly recommend it!!
Unbelieveble,,,i love this video ,history and educational
Without doubt the best programme on television over the festive season 🎉
What a magnificent and terrifying predator! Especially terrifying if you're swimming in the sea.
What species of pliosaur are they talking about? Pliosaurus maybe?
Very nice CGI showing the pliosauer swimming beneath his feet 00:27 - 00:33 and 00:44 - 00:55.
Pliosaurus
I think Pliosaurus is the genus, while Pliosaur is an individual animal. But you made me look. Lol @@raihanfarrelofficial
When I saw that behemoth I thought "is this another Liopleurodon", but this monster makes Liopleurodon look like a Tiger Shark, small in comparison!
Deep water and darkness are some of man's primal fears. Combine them with a scary jaw and you have a nightmare of nightmare proportions.
Just love listening to him ❗️❗️❗️👏👍👍
Short strong neck big teeth .!!! 😂 Basically the prime " Mike Tyson" of the sea
😂
Sir David your a good man
Sir David Attenborough voice alone is something else.
I hope they have his voice prerecorded (with permission if course) so that we can continue to hear his voice in the far future
MY MIND IS TRYING TO COMPREHEND THAT THEY ARE DIGGING IN AN ANCIENT SEA BED WHICH IS NOW A SOLID CLIFFSIDE 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😵💫
time.
Phillip Jacobs conducted the initial find of the snout and then donated the fossil find. Delighted for this content despite the BBC lack of credit for the actually discovery by Phillip and even his photography of the cliff to help identify where the rest of the skull might be.
He has a great story telling voice
Really looking forward to seeing this
Long live sir david attenborough
Shoutout to the camera man 🦖
Hearing Sir David Attenborough talking about the dangerous marine monsters: what cute monsters !😍
I love this man 😭
Beautifully made ❤
What an undertaking...phew.
I want to hug this thing
Lol you lie 😂
@@crusoebower3391 I don't! They look so cute! I want to swim with them! 🐊😋
@@Randy1337 we got some 8meter salt water crocks that would be more than obliged to swim with you. Steve Irwin style
The guy who discovered the bones first should have his name also added to the title
It must be depressing for Sir David Attenborough to have everybody commenting on his immanent death. But it will be a loss for sure.
Um, are double decker busses longer than regular buses? Kinda silly to specify double decker bus (twice) when using it to describe length.
It's probably because buses come in all kinds of lengths. School buses, mini buses, those shorter town buses... whereas a double decker is more standard. You don't get mini double deckers for instance.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. Why a double-decker bus? Maybe a railway carriage.
Masterpiece :)👍
and in other shows, the mosasaur is the ultimate marine hunter, and then tens of millions of years later it was the megalodon, aye Dios mio.
Where did Attenborough get his hands on my wedding video?
I enjoy most his voice ❤
What documentaries series was that?
BBC” The Tyrannosaurus rex of the seas”
Arrives a 60 foot Mosasuraus “Hello I exist, am I a joke to you?”
I love him so much, that I do parodies and mockumentaries about him. You have to love someone, to imitate them well.
There are plenty of people who do great Trump impressions but I gather he’s not all that popular.
Was the only creature in history to effectively handle my wife's meatloaf.
Zu der damaligen Zeit der "Meeres-Monster" wäre sicher kein Mensch auf die Idee gekommen ein bisschen im Meer zu "surfen"... 😂
Best man ever
ultimate marine predator?...mosasaur has entered the chat...
mosasaurus is smaller
also orcas are probably the ultimate marine predator
@@red_life_redemption i mean, they have pack hunting, human-level intelligence, combined with size and strength
@@red_life_redemption - What suggests they were more effective hunters? I don't think their success ratio has been established, but we know how successful orcas are.
@@Ledinosour673 orca's smaller than mosasaur - this is talking about individuals, is it not?
@@zenmaster24 well, the pliosaur is the same size if not bigger than the mosasaur
also the sperm whale is a LOT bigger than the mosasaur
mosasaur: 15 tons
pliosaur: 18 tons
sperm whale: 60 tons
Sir David can narrate a shopping list and make it sound like an exciting nature show.b
Gelungenes und interessantes video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
"Ultimate Marine Predator"
"Half the size of Mosasaurus"
mosasaurus is 15 meters long, not 20
Also Pilosaurus were overall heavier on average despite being not being as long as Mosasaurus (likely due to being related to turtles while Mosa was more closer related to lizards/snakes).
There is no telling what pre historic animals may still exist in the Abyss of the deepest parts of the ocean, the parts where no man has gone
The video is three weeks old now. How did the endeavour end?
David Attenborough’s voice is like the English equivalent of Morgan Freeman. I can listen to his voice all day 👌
I would say it's the other way round ... David has been doing this since the 50's 😊😊..in fact he began a decade before Morgan Freeman ever appeared on film !!!!
@@WyreForestBiker never knew that, very interesting. Either way, as an American, the English accent was always my favorite, Attenborough’s voice is awesome 😁
Amazing. Where is this museum located?
Yes! I love David,lol,he has allways educated me😊 also my hubby with PHD 😊 from mara❤👋👩🦼🙋♀️🤩
This is exactly why the bathtub is as deep as I'll go in water.
I love this 😋☺️
As a big fan of Sir David Attenborough, i will be seeing this documentary. Generally the mosasaur is called as the t-rex of the sea.
may attenborough find a way to live forever
i'm seeing that they have corrected the 12 meter estimate and decreased the size to a smaller 10 meters, wich is a lot closer to the estimates i have obtained from scaling the skull from other pliosaurs
good job BBC!
When i was a child i was on tenerife island beside afrika and on one beach they had a dinoseur skeletton under water 10 meters deep.I remenber it very good its a dyving attaktion and people do not want it in a museum they like it under water on this beach.
I caught the same last time when im fishing at the pond.🙃
biggest bite force of anything that ever lived apparently
Oh! I didn't know Pliosaur Guy wrote all his own captions in his museum, I definitely have to go there if I'm ever in southern England now.
We are well worth a visit! If you want to learn more about our museum check out our RUclips Channel! ruclips.net/channel/UCCUGQckZqlp3o46eAkY_w1w
I need to visit this coast.
What did these evolve into?
For some reason I thought that two the fish in the thumbnail was the eyes of an anime girl with white hair 🤣
God I want to watch this so bad. Anyone know when available in us?
I caught one of these but it snapped my line.
