INCREDIBLE dinosaur leg fossil is discovered! 🦖 Dinosaurs: The Final Day with Attenborough - BBC 

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.

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

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

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.

@@b.a.erlebacher1139 Sounds lovely to do! Everyone should too! I see I wasn't the only one "growing up" with him as a source for learning

I am lucky enough to be old enough to remember Marlin Perkins hosting Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom as well as Sir David's documentaries. He was just as entertaining and enthusiastic as Sir David.

@@davidroberts7808 omg yeah your right. I am 51 so I remember too. And Cousteau.

@@ashlingofAsh7580 WOW if THAT didn't bring back a flood of memories..... I always wanted to become a marine biologist because of Jacques Cousteau and growing up in Florida. Yes How could I forget the fantastic Frenchman?

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!!!!

as a kid o felt they were without knowing it

No way

Wow, I had to look that up. Amazing

I'm absolutely speachless

@@anthonyontv1061 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.

I'd lick it.

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

@@ReptileAIDS 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.

Nonsense

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 RU-vid 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!…

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

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. It's great now with spring, summer, and fall ahead to find more here.

@@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.

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

Strange that you mention Richard Attenborough on a dinosaur video and not mention his role as John Hammond. 🤔

I believe having watch David's late brother Richard, that at some points playing John Hammond in the original Jurassic Park films, he did a performance that was both a mimic and a homage, to his enthusiasm natural history loving younger brother. ❤️
