To be fair a white shark can be quite large as well and they're still around to this day! The same goes for orcas but they don't quite have the mouth that the white shark has or the temnodontosaurus. It sure resembles a dolphin! We shouldn't forget the blue whale which dwarfs many creatures on this planet - but of course they mostly only eat krill I believe?

Exactly, but with no echolocation, they relied primarily on their sight which had to make hunting harder over all. They could probably hunt on moonlit nights when nothing else could see it coming.

All of human existence could fit 100 times over into the time since these magnificent beasts lived, and modern humans 1000 times or more. And yet I still feel some sympathy for that baby icthyosaur, just minding its own business tens of millions of years ago, when this massive beast chewed it up and ended its life. I wonder if they felt fear or pain? Whenever I hear of a prehistoric creature that died with another creature in its belly, I always wonder what the predator died of.

Ever since I was a kid I've loved the subject of dinosaurs. The only thing I didn't like about the subject was all the overly technical names the scientist gave them. It's like they were all trying to one-up each other to see who could give their find the most science-jargon name they could think of. Why couldn't they just be honest and name them something like, "Stumbledontosaurus" or "Luckyfindasaurus" or maybe "Governmentgrantasaurus" or something like that.

[@brianisme6498]

Well ichthyosaurs aren’t dinosaurs actually. And they do the same thing with modern animals. It’s just that most people generally refer to them by their common name. And with the naming part you seem to not understand. It’s just scientific standard. Look up taxonomy and you’ll understand. Essentially when a new species is discovered they must be classified, put into a kingdom, phylum, order, class, family, genus and species. What they will then refer to them by is there genus and species name. Take the Tyrannosaurus Rex example. Most words have actual meanings. Usually coming from Greek or Latin. Tyrannosaurus means tyrant lizard and Rex means king. So, the T. Rex’s name literally means king of the tyrant lizards. Most prehistoric animals are just referred to by their genus name such as Spinosaur, ankylosuar, triceratops.

I hope they save Attenborough's voice so they can still continue to give us documentaries with his narration long after he's gone. And give the money to his family. Legend.

Was about to scroll past this but saw David Attenborough and had to click. Coming away with dinosaur knowledge I didn't plan on learning but I'm glad I did.

Wow! David Attenborough is wonderful. What a gem of a man. Incredible life this man lives.

Of course, it goes without saying that the great David Attenborough had a Temnodontosaurus as a pet when he was young.

I don't think he's quite THAT old.
