T-rex vs pliosaur 🦖 | Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster - BBC

T-rex vs pliosaur, who would win? 🤔

Sir David Attenborough investigates the discovery of a lifetime: the giant skull of a prehistoric sea monster, known as a pliosaur – the Tyrannosaurus rex of the seas!

Who wins the fight? Surely it depends on if its on land or sea? 😂😂😂

An adult Tyrannosaurus rex had no rival. The true king 🦖👑

David Attenborough is a living legend in nature documentary films!

[randykirk]

I could listen to David Attenborough talk all day!

Amazing what we can do now with our technology, when reconstructing fossil evidence into an animation. 🦖🦕❤

[LAXTender]

What an opportunity to chat with someone so rad! This David fellow is lucky.

[williamrobinson]

It's certainly interesting to see the aquatic equivalent of Tyrannosaurus Rex, which I suppose this must be. Always a delight to see Sir David and his distinguished paleontologist colleagues discussing these things. ⭐⭐👍

I get why the question is asked because people genuinely would ask this or at least think it. However, the scenario is flawed since there is no way that this is a fair fight since one lived on land and the other in the seas… where the battle were to happen would be the deciding factor of victory. So this question doesn’t really serve any scientific or useful purpose… David Attenborough is great tho.

[The_Story_Of_Us]

It is true. The only fight a Pliosaur and a T-Rex (rather perhaps an era-equivalent to T-Rex since T-Rex came long after these monsters) is happening in the water and that is not a fair fight. And given a chance, a giant pliosaur’s jaws put those of T-Rex to shame.

I really hope that an apology is issued soon by the BBC to Philip, whose name they completely airbrushed from the documentary. They used his footage, but it was not made clear who found the original piece of snout. Absolutely terrible!

Sir David Attenborough is My Hero and He's National Treasure ❤🥹🥲

[vineshen]

Kong 🦍 will bet them both. Movies never lie.

[negativeindustrial]

Wait, is Attenborough still alive?!? This guy has been old since before I was born and now I’m old and he’s still old?

[jamallaidley]

Nice One 🤭 y'all too wild for me🤷🏾‍♂️

[davidreid]

One in a million too a billion means he has no fuckin idea what he is talking about 😂

[hfdennycheng]

IN OUR OWN LANGUAGE, THE NAME OF THIS TWO PREHISTORIC ANIMALS ARE SO SIMPLE

T-REX=暴龍
PLIOSAURS=上龍

暴=BRUTAL
上=UP
龍=DRAGON

THIS 3 WORDS ARE THE COMMON CHINESE CHARACTERS AND SO THE MEANING OF THEIR NAME CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY THE COMMON PEOPLE EASILY. WE ARE CHINESE

[TimothyAsbridge_TENOR]

*In an Attenborough voice* "and behold, here we essentially have a real life dinosaur of our cultural heritage talking about dinosaurs of our biological heritage"

[starofdabloc]

Of course it’s going to win because the T-Rex would have to be in the water and out of its element smh. Now if that was on land the T-Rex would destroy it! 🦖

[tscottshea]

Correct me if I'm wrong though; T Rex was in his prime near the end of the Cretaceous, right, so--didn't this pliosaur exist tens of millions of years before T Rex? Were there equally formidable pliosaurs in T Rex''s time?

The supercomputer at the center of the Earth is very clever. It has created creatures of dozens of crustmotion-glacial seasons .🌋☃🌎🌍
