Attenborough and the Sea Dragon

Join Sir David Attenborough as he pieces together the remarkable discovery of the Ichthyosaur, a fearsome fish lizard that lived during the age of dinosaurs.

Witness the discovery of a new ichthyosaur fossil, complete with fossilized skin, but strangely missing a head.

With their giant jaws and razor-blade teeth, the Temnodontosaurus was one of the largest of the ichthyosaurs. This predator grew up to 33 feet long and had the largest eyes known of any animal. Fossils prove that this fierce sea dragon fed on smaller ichthyosaurs.
