Synopsis:
150 million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the land but the oceans were dominated by a mysterious sea monster: the pliosaur, the Tyrannosaurus rex of the seas. Now, a giant skull has been found in the cliffs of Dorset…
Attenborough and the Jurassic Sea Monster follows Sir David Attenborough as he investigates this discovery of a lifetime, following a perilous expedition to excavate the skull from a treacherous cliff face. Sir David has been an avid fossil collector since he was a young boy, but has never come across a find quite like this.
An international team of experts search for clues about this fearsome beast – believing it could be a completely new species of pliosaur - while cutting-edge visual effects sequences bring the sea monster to life.
The programme combines ground-breaking science and gripping storytelling, to explore the tale of the most formidable predator of the Jurassic world - one that hunted in the seas just off the coast of Britain, 150 million years ago…
