He was a middle aged man when I was a boy and I am now 54 David Attenborough you are an amazing man and your documentaries are truly legendary keep up the great work so the generations ahead can enjoy animals in the future.

David Attenborough + dinosaurs= yet again another good dinosaur obsessed night (next one of you say "nOt a DinoSauR" Im going to call it a one just to piss you all off, my comment is a general statement)

[WideAwake-blgw]

I had to watch twice. The size comparison between the man and that massive beast was unreal and put into perspective just how ungodly big those things were. How I wish we could have seen them alive. I'm so awed that they even existed at all.

[KillberZomLD]

I wanna thank all the archaeologists and paleontologists for their hard work in finding and studying these fossils.

Sir David Attenborough's voice is audible nectar to my ears.
So soothing to hear him narrate.

[supergrendel]

And here I am, scared of the seaweed that touches my leg.

We grew up watching Sir David Attenborough. An absolute treasure.

[bolezy]

This man is a legend. One of my favorite human beings. It's sad that hes getting so old. It will truly be a sad day for humanity when his time comes.

[tomtalker]

I love watching David and his passion for these creatures. And ALL animals for that matter. He really breaths life into every documentary he does. A true professional and gentleman.

[sabatino]

There’s nothing better than hearing someone with a British accent say the word “flesh.” It’s like scratching an itch you can’t reach.

[JCarlos.]

_I could listen to David Attenborough speak all day_

[AlexMundraby-zmbs]

I'm 20 years old and I'm so lucky I witnessed this man growing up he made history and natural world sound more incredible

[gratefuldoge]

Fun Fact: When this fossil was discovered Archaeologists Timothy Drake and Stephen Ward were swinging their pick axes into the ancient clay when Drake lifted his axe and as he did Stephen saw fossilized bone. He immediately screamed, “Tim! No! Don’t!” and that is how it got it’s name.

Tim No Don’t asaurus.

This thing looks like a killer dolphin. No wonder sharks are still afraid of dolphins. lol

[rollenswollen]

Dave is getting old now.. I'm happy I grew up getting to listen to him narrate all the great episodes he did.🙂
