Largest ever sea creature discovered by scientists | BBC News 

Until we find more material, the blue whale remains the largest animal ever known, and to assume anything different would be jumping to conclusions. This title is rather misleading.

Please change title

Blue whale is larger. Incorrect title

A teenager and her father found this fossil

Clickbait, low quality misleading cheesy title. Not from you, BBC.

basically a blue whale that could eat you like a shark... imagine seeing that in real life

Whilst it's very impressive the title is literally clickbait. Largest ever sea creature? Sea creature isn't a scientific term but it implies largest animal/creature that has been discovered. Then it tells us it's actually the largest reptile sea creature. Which is still great. Cool. Absolutely. But not the biggest thing discovered in the sea is it? Again sea here meaning water in general. God it's clickbaity.

Dinosaurs perhaps grew throughout their lives, like crocodiles, eventually their sizes would be terminal. The huge sizes may have been atypical and for most of their lives they were somewhat smaller. It’s a bit like an alien in the future coming to Earth and using a graveyard to conclude that humans had bone problems.

Who cares about the title, they have really old bones from a big thing! People should study more, complain less.

Blue Whale is the largest ever living creature to ever exist

Never expected to get clickbaited by bbc

Misleading title, change it.

Laboon is bigger

25 meters in length giant sea creature sommerset beach icthiasaur. Eating squid prob major extinction event

May have been bigger than a blue whale... May have been smaller than a leedsichthys. Ah click bait title, you got me again.

Thank ypu sir for giving us all the opportunity to experience your great find!

Thanks BBC team for new update. 🙏

Largest ever sea reptile perhaps. Incorrect title BBC. Do better.

Cue the Megaladon shark

Thanks for sharing.

I've rarely heard a Dr with such voice intonation :0!

Correction: largest ever marine reptile discovered. The blue whale is larger even if you use the maximum estimates for the size of these animals, which may have gotten LONGER than a Blue Whale, but not as heavy. Also they should have name-dropped the thing, the animal has been given the very creative name ”Ichthyotitan” a portmanteau meaning ”titanic fish lizard”.

Wasn't the Megaladon bigger than a Blue Whale?

How bigger than blue whale?

Maybe bigger....listen to the narration properly. 🙄

This vasuki biggest snake in indian ocean 🌊

In Swindon of all places.

It is not the largest ever sea creature, a blue whale is much larger. It is the largest ever marine reptile!

Very informative.

And here i thought it was the blue whale as per scientists

How did ( only ) the aquatic dinosaurs die and not the rest of the aquatic life which continued in abundance down till today ......... ?

The title is not clickbait, it's a straight up lie.

This is saying largest sea reptile not sea creature. Clickbait bullshit

why bbc killed it?

Excellent discovery 😃 well done

202 mil years, so I drank 202 chilled beers 🍺

Go Swindon!

Pretty Cool

this shows how little humans really know about earth, hundreds of new species are found EVERY DAY and new fossils are found every now and then aswell. i wouldn't be surprised if dinosaurs aren't extinct after all, how can you possibly know? there are so many jungles and forests that are completely unexplored, so is sea. there could be lot of crazy species living in the sea, not could be, but there are! recently i saw some other video, showing some crazy species living in mariana's trench!

Wow

BUDDHA.. “Mendicants, suppose a person with wounded and festering limbs was to enter a thicket of thorny reeds. The kusa thorns would pierce their feet, and the reed leaves would scratch their limbs. And that would cause that person to experience even more pain and distress. In the same way, some mendicant goes to a village or a wilderness and gets scolded, ‘This venerable, acting like this, behaving like this, is a filthy village thorn.’ Understanding that they’re a thorn, they should understand restraint and lack of restraint. And how is someone unrestrained? Take a mendicant who sees a sight with their eyes. If it’s pleasant they hold on to it, but if it’s unpleasant they dislike it. They live with mindfulness of the body unestablished and their heart restricted. And they don’t truly understand the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where those arisen bad, unskillful qualities cease without anything left over. When they hear a sound with their ears … When they smell an odor with their nose … When they taste a flavor with their tongue … When they feel a touch with their body … When they know an idea with their mind, if it’s pleasant they hold on to it, but if it’s unpleasant they dislike it. They live with mindfulness of the body unestablished and a limited heart. And they don’t truly understand the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where those arisen bad, unskillful qualities cease without anything left over. Suppose a person was to catch six animals, with diverse territories and feeding grounds, and tie them up with a strong rope. They’d catch a snake, a crocodile, a bird, a dog, a jackal, and a monkey, tie each up with a strong rope, then tie a knot in the middle and let them loose. Then those six animals with diverse territories and feeding grounds would each pull towards their own domain and territory. The snake would pull one way, thinking ‘I’m going into an termite mound!’ The crocodile would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the water!’ The bird would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m flying into the sky!’ The dog would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the village!’ The jackal would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the charnel ground!’ The monkey would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the jungle!’ When those six animals became exhausted and worn out, the strongest of them would get their way, and they’d all have to submit to their control. In the same way, when a mendicant has not developed or cultivated mindfulness of the body, their eye pulls towards pleasant sights, but is put off by unpleasant sights. Their ear … nose … tongue … body … mind pulls towards pleasant ideas, but is put off by unpleasant ideas. This is how someone is unrestrained. And how is someone restrained? Take a mendicant who sees a sight with their eyes. If it’s pleasant they don’t hold on to it, and if it’s unpleasant they don’t dislike it. They live with mindfulness of the body established and a limitless heart. And they truly understand the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where those arisen bad, unskillful qualities cease without anything left over. They hear a sound … smell an odor … taste a flavor … feel a touch … know an idea with their mind. If it’s pleasant they don’t hold on to it, and if it’s unpleasant they don’t dislike it. They live with mindfulness of the body established and a limitless heart. And they truly understand the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where those arisen bad, unskillful qualities cease without anything left over. Suppose a person was to catch six animals, with diverse territories and feeding grounds, and tie them up with a strong rope. They’d catch a snake, a crocodile, a bird, a dog, a jackal, and a monkey, tie each up with a strong rope, then tether them to a strong post or pillar. Then those six animals with diverse territories and feeding grounds would each pull towards their own domain and territory. The snake would pull one way, thinking ‘I’m going into an termite mound!’ The crocodile would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the water!’ The bird would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m flying into the sky!’ The dog would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the village!’ The jackal would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the charnel ground!’ The monkey would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the jungle!’ When those six animals became exhausted and worn out, they’d stand or sit or lie down right by that post or pillar. In the same way, when a mendicant has developed and cultivated mindfulness of the body, their eye doesn’t pull towards pleasant sights, and isn’t put off by unpleasant sights. Their ear … nose … tongue … body … mind doesn’t pull towards pleasant ideas, and isn’t put off by unpleasant ideas. This is how someone is restrained. ‘A strong post or pillar’ is a term for mindfulness of the body. So you should train like this: ‘We will develop mindfulness of the body. We’ll cultivate it, make it our vehicle and our basis, keep it up, consolidate it, and properly implement it.’ That’s how you should train.” ( The Simile of Six Animals suttacentral.net/sn35.247/en/sujato?lang=en&layout=plain&reference=none&notes=asterisk&highlight=false&script=latin )

Yes! Jona in the fish was certainly possible!

Only Dr Ross can tell us the truth about this 😂

every month a "largest ever" creature is discovered

really ffinding

For obvious reasons nobody in my village would believe that BIG story. ⛔⛔⛔

clickbait title , downvote

💙

May, could hmm Okay

Nobody tell Alan Davies about this.

A giant whale R I P 🐋🐳

Pretty sure God didn’t create that lol

Can we have a life without the bbc?

Change title bbc, dont click bait, short term gain for a long term reputational loss - do better.

obviously the title is completely wrong, as usual.

Megallodon

not normally one to complain about these things but, aside from the obvious clickbait, it's a bit ridiculous how bad some journalists are these days. do they just find them on the side of the road or something? this voiceover is a prime example. "it may have been bigger than the blue whale, the largest animal ever to have lived". you mean, the largest *known* to have lived? because how is it going to be bigger than something that was supposedly conclusively the largest to have ever lived? 😂

Palestinian fish?

❤ wow

he said it could be as big as a dolphin, a dolphin is way smaller than a blue whale.

Title of video is factually incorrect.

This is a bit of scientific grey area. If 90% of the oceans are unexplored, they cannot possibly know what the biggest sea creature was

Fakkkeee

I didn't know your mama lived in the sea.

Wish I could ride one

Nessie

Isn't this similar to a whale? 🤔

🙄

It should be compared to the average size of blue whale 🐋, and its largest possible size can be calculated by scientists.

I love Jimmy Saville, he really was a nice man. Does that mean I now meet the requirements to not be branded far right by the wonderful BBC?

Largest sea *reptile. Change the headline. The blue whale is the largest sea creature ever.

2 million years ago 🥱

Half fish, half reptile? Did it live at the same time as half man, half biscuit?

Did Steven Seagal go swimming again

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
