Fascinating and fantastic series. When this first came on the BBC in 1999. I was 11 and hooked on every episode. Visually stunning. I know some purists critcised it for being narrated by the actor Ken Branagh rather then someone like David Attenborough or Nigel Marvin. But it is still fantastic. Also loved the Prequels/Sequels Walking with Monsters and Walking With Beasts.
149 million years ago, Oxfordshire was almost entirely submerged in an ocean world, ruled not by dinosaurs but by marine reptiles. This is the story of the violent struggle for life here, as hundreds of Ophthalmosaurus come into the shallows to give birth, attracting predators like the Liopleurodon, the biggest of all the carnivores.
Oh my gosh. Bad time to be in labor, way back then. Unfortunately when a shark is scared away it doesn't mean everything's okay. Jeez how big must that leopluridon be.... O_o
The Trilogy of the Life and my age and I'm really fond of these admire beautiful documentaries. 0:22 for me and great to see the baby born Ophthalmosaurus it's soo cute
And the name's cool to say...leoploridon! I liked dinosaurs but water dinosaurs/mammals were my favorites too. And that really huge crocodile type creature way back then is awesome.
in the making of bit from the DVD they say its calculated from the size of the muscle anchor points, the size of the tooth point and two rare fossils where some muscle tissue has survived
most sharks give live birth. Platypus still lay eggs, and reptiles don't spawn eggs, they are internally fertilized then layed. (assuming you mean they are laid then fertilized when you say spawned) :P
@EvilCleric I think the largest pliosaur is that one they found in Norway informally called "Predator X," and that's only estimated to be about 15 meters long.
once i saw a documentary where they showed a baby dolphin that had just be born, dying drowned before it could get to the surface. I was little and I got traumatized
@ExcaliburRx7 Actually, according to this, it's far from new. I don't think these creatures exist anymore. Other than the shark, of course. Also, some snakes don't lay eggs. Boas and vipers, for example. Some other lizards and chameleons give birth to live offspring as well.
I used to be here when ads werent here on youtube.....it used to be an AWSOME PLACE...but....one day, some-thing stopped my video....it was an ad...the next morning,same thing.......what happened to good old youtube?! "WHY?!"
Ah yes, the stupidly large liopleurodon. BBC"s insistence on having an over-sized liopleurodon has convinced many people that liopleurodons grew this size. The creature in this is about 25 meters. In reality they got to 6-7 meters. And this isn't the first time this has happened. Jurassic Park convinced many people that Velociraptors are 6 foot tall eating machines.
i wonder where does crab comes from..because i saw some crab which believe to be blind in some videos...they live very deep in the sea where there is no light O_O
I've always like this section of Walking with Dinosaurs. Helped boost my love of ancient marine reptiles, so much so that I find the liopleurodon's size exaggeration to be forgivable. If you want an idea of the size of this particular liopleurodon, it's around 25 meters. Not accurate for any species of liopleurodon.
WHAT WAS THAT HUGE THING!!! why do they cut the video off there i wanna know what that awesome thing was it looked like the magical liopluridon on charlie the unicorn. it probally was. That was cool. I wish giant loch ness monsters were still alive.
According to the Bible, (Book of Leviticus), it says that Leviathans walked on the Earth, and in other books of the Bible, they call dinosaurs different names.
Actually, even going by your logic, it's still wrong. Genesis tells that on the third day God made vegetation on the planet yet doesn't even come up with sea life until the sixth day when the evidence clearly shows that the oceans were already teaming with life before the earliest plant life even developed during the late Cambrian period. Also, you would think, even if the 7 days were metaphors, and that the bible mentions sealife, birds, and livestock, that it would clearly mention dinosaurs.

The fact that immediately from birth, they know to go up for air, is amazing.
Fascinating and fantastic series.

Is that the Liopleurodon lurking at 0:51?
0:51
Yep
As a child when I saw this I was just so amazed and even now this is an absolute classic.
I LOVE DINOSAURS
Cute little pups.
Oh my gosh. Bad time to be in labor, way back then.

it's soo cute
I Liopleurodon of this documentary called him sympathy "moby dick" for it's size and ferocity.
And the name's cool to say...leoploridon!
I liked dinosaurs but water dinosaurs/mammals were my favorites too. And that really huge crocodile type creature way back then is awesome.
BBC Earth is currently working on a remake of the original TV series and turning it into a motion picture. It will be released in 2012.
in the making of bit from the DVD they say its calculated from the size of the muscle anchor points, the size of the tooth point and two rare fossils where some muscle tissue has survived
ITS A MAGICAL LIOPLEURODON! :D
It’s going to show us the waaaaaay
most sharks give live birth. Platypus still lay eggs, and reptiles don't spawn eggs, they are internally fertilized then layed. (assuming you mean they are laid then fertilized when you say spawned) :P
@EvilCleric I think the largest pliosaur is that one they found in Norway informally called "Predator X," and that's only estimated to be about 15 meters long.
I think predator x was kronosaurus
does the liopleurodon end EVERYTHING i mean really
Ophthalmosaurus is my favortie SEA Dinosaurs.
“It’s a magical Liopleurodon, Charlie”

No dinosaurs were hurt in the making of this documentary :P
Platypus is a monotreme. Live birth doesn't always equal MAMMALS. Most sharks do give birth, and correct on your last reply, Dudekahedron.
you are so right > evolution is correct !
I used to be here when ads werent here on youtube.....it used to be an AWSOME PLACE...but....one day, some-thing stopped my video....it was an ad...the next morning,same thing.......what happened to good old youtube?! "WHY?!"
How big is that lipluerodon
I think maybe ichtyosaurs cared for their young
Liopleurodon I think. Not sure. Haven't been massively keen on Dinosaurs since I was younge.
is this a movie?
Now I'm suddenly sad seeing that poor cute mom getting eaten like that =(
@GetSumNutz That's the name of the whole series. I have the DVD and this is one of the portions on it.
@Xivix427 there accually is a chance of leopluradons living today. only 1% of all specious in the water has been discovered (I think) ;D
What was that Superbeasto that bit the Opthalmasaurus in two?
Ah yes, the stupidly large liopleurodon. BBC"s insistence on having an over-sized liopleurodon has convinced many people that liopleurodons grew this size. The creature in this is about 25 meters. In reality they got to 6-7 meters. And this isn't the first time this has happened. Jurassic Park convinced many people that Velociraptors are 6 foot tall eating machines.
Ok where'd you get the info on the liopleurodon's bite force?
never forget
poor mom... though that way Liopleurodon will feed his/her children? great movies!
The Liopleurodon is male. The narrator confims it.
i wonder where does crab comes from..because i saw some crab which believe to be blind in some videos...they live very deep in the sea where there is no light O_O
It could get 25 meters long.
This was an fullgrown one.
Charlieee lets go to the candy mountain!!
I've always like this section of Walking with Dinosaurs. Helped boost my love of ancient marine reptiles, so much so that I find the liopleurodon's size exaggeration to be forgivable.

WHAT WAS THAT HUGE THING!!! why do they cut the video off there i wanna know what that awesome thing was it looked like the magical liopluridon on charlie the unicorn. it probally was. That was cool. I wish giant loch ness monsters were still alive.
@KrazyKazooie
That was probably a leopluridon. Not an especially magical one, but a leopluridon none the less.
whats tht thing tht ate the baby?
yicks when that liopleurodon bit her in half!sigh such a short life for the young.never even got see the world.
Oh no! Leo's on fire!
@evilemperordude I know. I'm saying that BBC for some reason had the Liopleurodon's size to be grossly exaggerated.
This was made in 1999
This was like on 2007 but COD5 didn't have the same graphics. =(
adult shark: Looks like meat is back on the MENU BOYYYYS ! GRAAAAWRRRR !
argument: sharks don't. Platypus does... classification doesn't always work. After all things didn't evolve to be classified by us.
j'avais jamais compris que ce truc etait un holodeck allez du cote d eon software il existe une version gratuite
pause at 0:47 in the backround you can see liopuridon
how old are sharks?
is it the lioplurodon on charlie the unicorn.
What the fuck was that monster that ate the mother?! It looked like an underwater T-rex!
An exaggerated Liopleurodon
Id laugh if the baby just cames came out swam away
Very dissapointed with this false title, there was aboslutely NO walking in this with or without dinosaurs :(
what is it??
CGI
aww i felt sad for the mom it got eaten and it was gasping for air =(....and the baby too it had to run from other of those sharks
Man, if only the Liopleurodon were alive today.
But exactly when to give birth to kill ????
I really don't like it when the liopleurodon eats the mommy Opthalmosaurus
It was a leopleurodon
@alicesqueeks how does a turtle know to flee to the water when its born, its called instinct you knob
According to the Bible, (Book of Leviticus), it says that Leviathans walked on the Earth, and in other books of the Bible, they call dinosaurs different names.
Liopleurodon. It was the biggest carnivore of all time.
Yeeeeeeeeh!
Ichthyosaurs were NOT unusual in giving live birth. Most marine reptiles did it-sea turtles are the odd ones out.
any particular reason their calling seafaring fish creature babies pups?
sometimes when im bored i like to cover myself in vaseline and pretend im a marine reptile
Then someone comes in and throws a lighter at you.....
R.I.P.
@ExcaliburRx7 lots of reptiles are live bearers, like some snakes
@VampiretheJackal A MAGICAL LEOPLEURODON!!!
@EvilCleric I know it annoyes me, for ages i thought lio was that big, but still they were some of the meanest bastards around
أشهد أن لآ آله آلآ الله ..و أشهد أن محمد رسول الله..الله يارب ارحمني واغفري لي..
سبحآن الله وبحمده ..سبحان الله العظيم..
الحمدلله على كل حال..
that looks fake i cant tell if its real or not but it looks kinda fake but the water doesnt
that was really weird
sharks spawn egg. Platypus is mammal. it doesnt spawn egg.
natural instinct?
@jin081794 there's no such things, dinosaurs only live on land. These were marine reptiles.
Sea reptile??? if it is a reptile, it should spawn egg. if it is a fish, should still spawn egg.
what is that? that's a mammal.
Poor mama she had know ide that that thing was coming
Actually, even going by your logic, it's still wrong.
Genesis tells that on the third day God made vegetation on the planet yet doesn't even come up with sea life until the sixth day when the evidence clearly shows that the oceans were already teaming with life before the earliest plant life even developed during the late Cambrian period.

whatosaurus?
did the baby escaped in time????
yes
No, it did not.
its sad that the mother got eaten
a reptile gave birth and not layed n egg? thats new :O
i loled at the death of the crappy dolphin
I'll be the second then!
liopleurodon
LOL 1:28!
holy shit
@furstenfeldbruck nope it died
the sea dinosaurs are fucken wiieerrrddddd
IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!!
Search BBC Megaladon to see monster shark :P
