What i find absolutely amazing is that sir David is still doing documentaries.
You could say he’s a bit of a dinosaur in the field of documentaries. Sorry.
...why!? It's his life, always has been...he probably feels a little lost in himself when he isn't doing what his entire life has been built around.
He started making documentaries when my nan was 9 and she turns 80 next year. Incredible longevity.
Don't jinx it.
He was a huge part of my childhood. I'll cry when he's gone
You know what I like about Sir David Attenborough the most? The way he narrates isn't just narration, he truly adores what hes explaining to us.
Amazing how you can sound when you actually love what you do.
It's not just that he loves what he is doing, it's also that he understands the information that he is imparting.
He's not just reading a script.
I heard he does most of it on the toilet.
Yes
Not here for likes, to be honest I couldn't give a crap what any of you say, here for acknowledging an icon of British society. Especially the old "blue planet" DVD case I've still got. Anyway, hope your all not analysing my comment to come back with some whitty comment. Have a good day.
It was an honour to have worked on this. The entire crew knew this was a historic find as it was unfolding. A true privilege to witness Robert’s passion!
Oxygen quickly erodes remarkably preserved organic samples so I was worried being exposed to the elements would deteriorate it. A nice find.
Did you guys extract tissue samples and any other samples to be sent to facilities like South Korea where they are currently trying to clone a mammoth? It's a long shot, but even one cell that is intact with DNA samples would be gold.
why cameraman is at the perfect moment like he is already expecting a find?
@@impulsiveurge5837 They problably used 3 dimensional scanning technology to map the underground before digging up if I had to guess but I wasn't there so I don't know.
once you understand that the first ever identifiable “dinosaur” fossil was found AFTER 1842 when Richard Owens came up with the theory of what these things looked like, based on huge bones/fossils people have been finding since the 1600 to present day. Yet before he came up with the theory no one ever found a full enough fossil to identify it as a “giant lizard” it was only AFTER he came up with the theory of dinosaurs did *paleontologists* and *scentists* started finding large enough fossils that everyone could see what these creatures actually looked like. To this day we still find fossils and large bones but only paleontologists and scientist actually find the full fossils to where you can put together and see them as these giant lizards.
This doesn’t prove or disprove dinosaurs, but you should be skeptical knowing this at the least.
*the theory came before the discovery*
@@luminatrixfanfiction It's a fossil, so everything has been replaced with inorganic minerals/stone
I can only imagine the joy and excitement a paleontologist must be feeling finding something like this!
This has been their fantasy for over a century. It's the paleologist equivalent of NASA finding Planet Nine.
@@selinaarcher184 Nope.
this can be easily fabricated if there is any propaganda value to it
but if these antropologists are well known its probably legit
It’s a hoax. Asteroids don’t exist!!!!
This is exactly how I imagined being an archeologist back when I was a kid lol

@@anthonyontv Not to mention that his hypothesis about them being giant lizards turned out wrong. Basically almost everything about his descriptions of the creatures was wrong, what retained was the name.
Phylogenetically they are as far from lizards as we are from them.
Maybe next time more reading and less cooking up nefarious plots in your head.
@@buragi5441 that’s a stretch, he didn’t classify them as a species of lizard, he identified what they look like by comparing them to something like a “giant lizard like creature” and if you don’t think dinosaurs look like giant lizards with there scales, hands, teeth, and tails than your in denial my friend.
Fake AF
Not fake
Fun fact: David Attenborough's brother was Richard Attenborough, the actor for John Hammond from Jurassic Park.
as a kid o felt they were without knowing it
No way
Wow, I had to look that up. Amazing
I'm absolutely speachless

@@primarytrainer1 Your correct but he still looks like indiana.
This is the Tanis site, one of the most important paleontology sites ever found. It was discovered a few years ago and one amazing fossil after another has come out of it. The dating to the day of the impact is based on the presence of tektites (tiny glass spheres) formed by the impact being found clogging the gills of fish at the site. Ground waves from the impact triggered a seiche which sent an immense wave far up a river valley, carrying all before it. The battered remains of marine, fresh water and land plants and animals were buried in mud as the wave receded, and the fine sediment preserved amazing detail.
This seems like a completely fascinating place to do digs! Wow.
Thank you for that information.
Which is located.....................................where???
@@thedwightguy
In one of the Dakotas...
There's even fragments of _Chicxulub itself._ Truly one of the most important sites in Earth's history.
David Attenborough is a living legend, i wish him more long life and health
In the next video: Paleontologist: “Look at this amazing foot fossil, it belongs to an upright walking creature, and is clearly millions of years old!” Sir David: “Let go of my foot, you idiot.”
🤣🤣🤣
The day we lose Sir Attenborough will be one of the saddest days in memory for me. I'll never get enough of this man. Never.
Sir David is my modern day hero. A life devoted to investigating all life in each of the kingdoms on earth, and then teaching us mere mortals with his docos, I truly believe he deserves a peerage and should take the title: "Lord of all"!! He is one of the very few people of modern times to have visited every country, and both every natural climatic region and environment on earth - and yet for all that, he still cannot drive a car!! 👍
Yeah he's 95, atleast he'll get to say he lived a happy and full life
He could recite the entire Delux paint range in alphabetical order and I'd still be enthralled
Please don't commit suicide you have so much to live for.
@@justicedemocrat9357 He didnt say he was going to?
Lie's , all bs.
Having done a dinosaur dig before and being absolutely chuffed after finding some teeth, plants and shells, I can guarantee that this palaeontologist would be riding this high his entire life. Super exciting stuff!
I once found human remains in my back yard when I was gardening. Turns out the house I bought belonged to a murderer once.
@@chucknutly3290 jesus that must've been horrid to find
@@chucknutly3290 Hey that's really cool. not like you had anything to do with it... right?
@@michaelbecker5995 No but we're in the process of knocking down a few of the non load bearing walls and redecorating and let's just say I'm thinking about moving out and selling the place soon. I won't let anyone in the basement without me and I don't ever go in there alone anymore.
@@TerribleLizards Yes it was. It was horrible. Luckily we don't have any kids or anything. We were going to settle down here but with everything that's happened I don't think it's an option at all. Honestly we're trying to get rid of the place but before that happens we've got to make sure nothing was left behind if you can understand what I'm getting at. We're literally replacing and refitting everything. Then we're selling and getting out of here. Honestly I inherited this place. That's why it's hard to talk about. It belonged to my great grandfather, I never knew him but I don't think I'd like to either. We don't know if it was him or not for sure, it could have even been his father. Either way my old family home is cursed and I have nightmares of me burning it to the ground with myself inside it. We need to get away from here. We must get out.
As astounding as this discovery is, I’m wondering how extensive the fossil deposit is and whether there are other similarly marvelous discoveries to come. I do hope the BBC guys, and others, are actively documenting this unique dig.
This site's pretty well known in paleontological circles the levels of preservation there is unlike any Lagerstätte site and the fact it seems to be of the hours after impact make it that much more significant.
Chances are at this particular fossil site they will be probably digging through the area for decades to come I was speechless and almost lost my breath when I saw the scales and flesh still intact on the fossil I've never seen that before in my entire 26 years on this planet on a dinosaur bone it's amazing even just seeing it through this video on UA-cam I can only imagine how it must be seeing it in real life being the first person to touch it in 65 million years at least! Astonishing.. what's even more peculiar to be is that you can tell how birds are relatives of dinosaurs you can tell that the scales on dinosaurs closely resembled to what we see on birds like if you look at a chicken's foot you can see the scales on their feet almost look identical it's so amazing to me LOL I guess that's because I'm a nerd but let's be honest anyone who would be able to see a discovery like this in person would be blown away as well!…

Tanis has fantastic preservation. Published in the same paper as the Thescalosaurus leg discovery, an azdarchid pterosaur embryo still in the egg pose was found alongside a massive feather that could have fit the ulna pit of a Dakotaraptor or Anzu !!
“66 million years” Bruhhhh 😂 😂 did you asked the bones!!!
They "asked" carbon from the bones with carbon dating
@@miedzianytv8987 You don't carbon-date rocks that old. For rocks that old you use potassium-argon and uranium-lead.
I wonder what the official peer review of this leg will conclude?
Still, and entire leg, with scales and muscles preserved. Amazing!
preserved muscles ? after 65M years...is this an april fool's joke ?
@@kwanchan6745 Cmon' you probably get what he means. The shape is preserved, and of course all tissue is replaced by minerals and rock. Same as 'preserved' dinosaur skin, feathers, bones , pigments and organs.
@@mitkoogrozev your point is the one I was trying to make...the film shows scales surrounded by clay...that isn't the normal "context" in which you find fossils...the original animal following fossilisation/mineralisation is almost indistinguishable from the fossilised sediment that accumulated around it...its the same rock...so this whole video looks fake
When I saw this documentary a short time ago, I had to check the date of broadcast, to make sure it wasn't the first of April. More seriously, I also am waiting for the peer reviews to come through, though this team has form in preferring the media for announcements. I really, really hope these are genuine finds and even that some of the senationalist speculation can be backed up. This seems to be the attitude of the scientific community, so we shall see.
@@susanbooth6793 its seriously fake...when was the last time a fossilised dino was surrounded by clay ? fossilisation makes the creature almost indistinguishable from the rock itself...the only difference is a slight change in the constituent minerals forming the rock facsimile of the original dinosaur, resulting in a subtle difference in colour of the rock
I found the spine of a thesaurus yesterday, my apologies for my contumacious, execrable, garrulous comment...
nice 3 new words for my vocabulary
Eye see what you did there, lol 🤣🤣🤣
So, in other words, you really dig this?
Well done 👏👏👏👏👏

Science fiction?
David was like a odd father to me growing up. I couldn't get enough of all the wild documentary shows on TV. He taught me about the world I'd never see in person. Helped me get away and live for awhile in other countries, in my mind. I wanted to document every horse breed in the world one day. But life for a ordinary child, that never came about. I did however spend half my life working with animals from pet stores, kennels, veterinarian hospitals (forever) to a local zoo in the medical wing. And I did get to dabble in the horse world, with my own beautiful steed. I'm 50 now. And I wish to ever thank him for my broad knowledge of the animal kingdom and love for nature.
Send him a letter, before it's too late. I'm sure he'll enjoy hearing about the influence his work had on your life.

I knew about this fossil bed before watching, but the discoveries made here are absolutely incredible.
Were the other finds at this site maybe much smaller fragments rather than a whole limb thus didn't make world news? I don't see major news and saw a thumbnail photo of this same leg with another video and thought it was click bait and never clicked on it ha! Really though it's sad how much falsity there is with YT videos created to only gather mega clicks. I'm excited to see more info about this find, like a documentary.

@@sa.8208 Hi Flightless Lord! So nice of you to take the time with me! It's sad that major funding and with sudden weather extremes happening that they don't move forward with this on a major scale, but like you say, meanwhile society as we know it crumbles as so much corruption and wars perpetuate. I suppose they approach everyone they can for funding as it always seems Paleontologists, Archaeologists... struggle so for it. I'm only amateur, but are these remains as it appears, almost as soft as butter? That's what it seems to be as they pluck away the soft earth to what appears as almost the same soft earth as the fossils. Such exciting times in the sciences, but also such dire times. I look forward to following your link! Thanks! If you don't have time to reply I fully understand!
@@sa.8208 Because it’s made up, they come to conclusions that are just figments of their imagination. Think to yourself why have they only found just the “leg” of this animal? where are the bones? Why only skin imposed on the mud? How do we know it’s “millions” of years old?
It’s easy to cut out a shape of a leg in dirt and pretend it’s some sort of prehistoric species that for the first time they’ve discovered its skin that somehow survived hundreds of millions of years. It’s a myth.

"Log jam, mass death layer" means massive flooding, and if the location indeed has a crater-like impression, then it looks like more solid evidence for a worldwide flood described in the Bible and in almost every legend of the known civilizations:

It's all nonsensical jargon used to control the minds of the working people in western societal rule.
@@CaBdosdos You should try re reading my post because it seems reading is not a strong part that you have. I gave you evidence outside the Bible!! Yet you are here stating that some crap about religious text. You should try researching the Shroud of Turin. It is not a religious text.
The Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of Christ. Up to 1880, the only thing that you saw on the Shroud was that of a very faint image of a man. With the invention of photography, the negative image of the Shroud produced a positive image of a man and it gives detailed photo of a crucified man exactly like what the Bible claims.
The image was not created by painting or blood but by some energy source which we still cannot properly duplicate. The Shroud was carbon dated in 1988 but the carbon dating came back to 13th century instead of 1st AD, thus the claim that it was fake. Later, the carbon dating was shown to have been done incorrectly because they took samples of the Shroud from one area of the outer side instead of 3 different areas. That one are that they took it from shows that the repair work was done to the shroud because the Shroud being only linen, also contained cotton in the area that was used for Carbon dating.
Every other evidence done by scientist proves that the Shroud is older than 13th century and some test even point to 1st century.
So, the first photography to ever exist in the world and it is of Jesus Christ resurrecting and leaving an image of that evidence.
Unbelievers will try hard to discredit it but the evidence points to the fact that it is the real thing.

Dinosaur skin huh? So much for millions of years…
Don't worry they will soon rewrite science books to say "oh, so the skin CAN survive 66 millions of years'. Just liket hey did when intact blood cells were found in a dinosaur bone. They'll rewrite their books to fit the millions of years narrative rather than consider anything else.

Well, that beats the heck out of the dinosaur bone my father found in Big Bend National Park in 1967. He dug out about 14 in of it before he realized he was digging in a National Park. Left all of his info at the Ranger Station and NEVER heard a word from them. Now, my wife and l live out here and my hope is to try to locate it.
How excited John Hammond (Jurassic Park) would have been also. That part, of course, played by David Attenborough, the elder brother of Richard. Sadly, he passed on at age 90 in 2014.
Amazing find, so basically we're probably looking at just one of the last dinosaurs to ever roam this earth.

It might sound stupid but i am unable to understand what happenned to the rest of the animal and why there is not even a hint of the rest of it. Why is only a leg there? And that too preserved with such immaculate detail.
Who wouldn't love to make a living finding things like this? ❤️
Almost all people.
Things like that happen once in a lifetime, or not even once. For an average archaeologist it ain't nearly as exciting as you might expect from watching this video
@@passerby4507 ...because it is hard, painstaking, dusty, dirty lifelong work and most people don't even like getting sweaty.
@@PavltheRobot They're paleontologist not archaeologists, which is always a more intense endeavour. Besides anyway go on the right beach with the right means, and there are fossils there. This is just a special case where a specific event is being looked for, but even so there are many missing links and yet to be found species and sub species of prehistoric fauna and flora.
Oh it's definitely a good living. These things sell for millions in the black market. You'll be surprised how many well preserved dinosaur fossils have never seen the public light and are just laying on a rich mafia boss living room in a yacht or a house
That's one of the most fascinating discoveries ever made.
With skin and tissues intact, I'd say it is THE most fascinating dinosaur discovery made.
@@tim7052 yes, why no one is making that point. We've discovered numerous fossils, that's not the most remarkable thing but the tissue preserved! Its beyond imagination!
@@mortemoccasus2412 Yes! The tissues and skin preserved is simply stunni g - this fossil would be as rare as unicorn poop!! 👍
@@tim7052 yeah the unicorn (*nervous laughter)
This two part Nova about the last day of the dinosaurs was one of the most exciting, fascinating things I've ever seen. I was riveted, they totally outdid themselves with this one.
Thescelosaurus
Greek meaning, "Godlike Lizard"
was a genus of small bird-hipped (but did not eventually evolve into birds today) dinosaur that appeared at the very end of the Late Cretaceous period in North America.
once you understand that the first ever identifiable “dinosaur” fossil was found AFTER 1842 when Richard Owens came up with the theory of what these things looked like, based on huge bones/fossils people have been finding since the 1600 to present day. Yet before he came up with the theory no one ever found a full enough fossil to identify it as a “giant lizard” it was only AFTER he came up with the theory of dinosaurs did *paleontologists* and *scentists* started finding large enough fossils that everyone could see what these creatures actually looked like. To this day we still find fossils and large bones but only paleontologists and scientist actually find the full fossils to where you can put together and see them as these giant lizards.
This doesn’t prove or disprove dinosaurs, but you should be skeptical knowing this at the least.
*the theory came before the discovery*
Have you ever considered that the soil, close to the bones and skin, could contain residues from feathers or other material that, at the moment, just looks like soil?
An addition:
If you look at soil then what do you find?
Dead tissue and a lot of DNA.
Try that out
The guy that says.. I think we found ourselves a dinosaur 🦖 is a pathetic actor u can tell he just started acting. They should’ve got an experience actor lol
David has been around so long he might have known this dinosaur personally
The only incredible fossil here is Attenborough’s legacy.
Lets say its a baby of? instead of saying it is full grown of? Then We must ask Why is it so close to the surface? And ask ? why is it preserved so well for that many millions of years ? When also wolks, foxes and badgers can dig up to 6 feet down by smelling remains decaying ?
In order for remains to fossilize there must occur veeeeeeery specific environmental conditions, thats why fossils are so rare
@@miedzianytv8987 So rare, yet, whenever a mason wants to find one, he finds one.
Dinosaurs are a hoax.
@@EndFreemasonry you dont have a single proof for that
@@miedzianytv8987 IF? so specific then where is the proof? The BASE ? everything has a base of absolute to start from!
You cant measure if there is no zero?
@@tigerbond4064 ok, then lets think logically, what would they get from lying about dinosaurs?
“It does look just like a drum stick”😂😂😂
How do dinosaur footprints make a fossil when a rainy storm would get rid of it?
How would a storm blow away the remains when a storm could've blown away the remains within the supposed 66 Million years go?
How would the skin remain intact and not decompose?
How did the body of the dinosaur survive the supposed blast of the asteroid?
I can't answer all of those, clearly can't withstand a direct asteroid hit. Then again they only found 1 leg... Getting covered by dirt protects from high temperatures. Things are preserved nicely in swamps and underground with little to no oxygen presence.
This dinosaur being so close to the blast would be instantly covered in layers upon layers of ash and fine rock which would have protected it from storms. The skin doesn’t remain intact, the minerals are gradually replaced by rock over millions of years. Leaving a perfect, rock copy. I think they were worried about this particular storm damaging the remains because they had unearthed and exposed the fossil whereas it was previously covered under ash, dirt and whatever else.
Skin and soft tissue would absolutely decompose after only a few thousand years much less 66 million. Examine the remains of the mummified Egyptian pharaohs.
@@barneybannister8308 Listen to 0.50 onwards, 'that's actually scaly skin' - Not a 'perfect, rock copy' but actual skin.
Regarding the layers of ash and fine rock comment - A storm or flood would easily watch it away.
@@MarkNOTW Exactly!
Dag...all i see is a pile of dirt😮😮😮
Imagine an advanced Dino species making a documentary discovering humans after we destroy each other with nukes.
66 million years and whoa just let me move this little bit of soft clay out of the way and WHOA fully preserved dinosaur leg. Is this a movie? People actually believe this garbage?
Well I don't think they wouldve only been there for 10 minutes . And I'm pretty sure it's at a dig site where other fossils have been found. Sure the way the video is put together makes it a bit questionable but the video has probably been cut down to only show the interesting parts and not the boring searching
weird the rain just disappeared
if this is true, then the last moments of this animal, though brief, must have been unbearable. it almost certainly immediately went blind before the wave of heat turned the air into fire, and only lost consciousness when the shockwave hit. then the ground took its body and kept it safe for 66 million years. sleep well, little one. we know your story now.
ever seen how abortions are carried out

kept it safe? im sure it died on site
@@anthonyontv yes '''dinosaur'' is a Victorian invention
How did air turning to fire not destroy the skin?
What a fabulous and exciting find! Good going guys and congratulations 👍🏻.
I'm supposed to believe this nonsense ?
The devil will take your souls for all the lies
*looks at the thing for about 2 seconds*
- "It's 66 million years old"
sCaYensE
They already know the age of the rock formation, dummy.
What do you do with Dinosaurs bones…???…I’d rather get a In-N-Out Burger…
this dude looks like indiana jones
Sir David is my modern day hero. A life devoted to investigating all life in each of the kingdoms on earth, and then teaching us mere mortals with his docos, I truly believe he deserves a peerage and should take the title: "Lord of all"!! He is one of the very few people of modern times to have visited every country, and both every natural climatic region and environment on earth - and yet for all that, he still cannot drive a car!! 👍

amen to that
This video just created at least one aspiring, young paleontologist. "Dad, can we watch Jurassic Park again tonight?
What I find extraordinary is the fact that people really believe you can find a leg that’s 66 million years old.
66 million years........ in a warm wet place barely under ground...
Exactly. Thank you
Surrounded by fish
... must be asteroid not flood caused......
What I find extraordinary is that you, who has no clue wtf you are talking about, genuinely believe you know better than the world’s leading palaeontologists and geologists, as well as astrophysicists, geneticists, and also plain simple historians, who have often been doing this stuff for between 10-50 years to the point where you are actually comfortable openly mocking them in an online forum.
Nobody is denying Jesus. Fill yourself up with all the love you want. But let the scientists do their job away from the narrow paradigm of the flood myth. There is so much more going on than just a flood and a boat full of dinosaurs (or many, many floods).
@@randopedia1 I don’t see how the OP was mocking anyone. He simply stated that he doesn’t know how anyone can believe that such a well preserved artifact could survive barely underground for over 60 million years. One doesn’t need to be an expert to know that’s preposterous. One thing we’ve learned over the past two years is we can’t always trust what “experts” tell us. We have to verify and think for ourselves.
@@randopedia1 So so salty Mr. Benners.... I didn’t say I knew more than anyone nor did I say that they or you had no idea wtf they were talking about. It seems I have struck a nerve and not sure why comment affected you so badly but I’ll stand by what I said. I dont care how much education a guy has or how smart he thinks he is because common sense isn’t taught in any schools and common sense is all that’s required a lot of times.
There is nothing that will survive 60 million years barely underground not even concrete... but you believe that flesh will? That is insanity sir .. pure ignorance actually. The world we live in is nothing like you see it to be and one day this will be known,as a matter of fact most people with any sense at all have allready figured that out. Tell me how an animal can survive 60 million years yet mountains are turned into sand in less time.. your perception of the world you live in is fabricated for you and you have no idea what your talking about.
I wish we could get BBC player in the US. I want to see the whole documentary : (
vpn my guy!
I usually wait for the Blu-ray or 4K release. It's worth the wait. 😸
Nova has this documentary, if you have PBS you can watch it there.
I'm glad after all this time they were able to find Joe Bidens Father
Great
This will help the fundamentalists,
Show them the ages of the world.... Not 6,000 years old
🤔
You underestimate the power of religious intolerance Michael. They'll find a way to disprove this....one way or another.
@@hopebgood denial, handwaving, whataboutism and bibe passages.
those kind of people been locked away in a padded room with just a bible
You must be very critical of Muslims too, or only Christians ? Pathetic hypocrite
The amazing work of scientists and persistence.
Talk with Institute for Creation Research.. Dr Brian Thomas. And several other scientists working with icr.. they are all at least as qualified as you
More propaganda rubbish
Let me guess, you voted for Trump.
Thescelosaurus
Ah thanks
I dont know rick 🤨🤨
I can already hear the "dInOsAuRs ArNt ReAl" people in my head
You should see a psychiatrist
Right next to the bone was a can of shaving cream.
Oh yea, it is such an honour and privilege to hear and see him, God Bless him. Love him.
66 million years... yeah ok sure
The amount of young earth creationists on here is absurd lmao
Uh do you even know how old earth is or have any understand of geologic time?
Dad's joke by BBC: the paleontologist was absolutely blown away when he found a dinosaur that had also been blown away.
That was an incredibly short video!
wow lovely
