  • Introduction to Video Content
  • The Natural History Museum in London is set to display the largest dinosaur ever to walk the Earth. The titanosaur, dubbed Patagotitan, has made an epic journey from Argentina to inspire and educate visitors. Measuring at a staggering 37 meters in length and 14 meters in height, this gigantic herbivore roamed the Earth around 100 million years ago. Its discovery in Argentina's Patagonia region has generated a renewed conversation about large creatures that once thrived on our planet. The exhibition aims to showcase the awe-inspiring scale of this dinosaur, while also educating visitors on topics such as evolution, adaptations, and ecosystems. The Patagotitan's size is made possible by various adaptations, including strong legs and powerful hips that help support its weight. Additionally, it had a powerful heart and efficient lungs to sustain its massive body. With its arrival, the Natural History Museum hopes to captivate audiences and remind us of the wonders of the natural world.
  • Subtitles section
  • It is not the kind of advertising campaign you'd usually expect from a capital city, but Amsterdam's council has warned rowdy British tourists to stay away.
  • The online advert shows a young man staggering in the street and being arrested by police, and will pop up when Brits search for terms like stag party or pub crawl in Amsterdam.
  • Or in Amsterdam, perish the thought.
  • Now finally, they may have been extinct for more than 60 million years, but our fascination with dinosaurs shows no sign of dying out.
  • One of the largest creatures ever to walk the face of the earth, the titanosaur, of course it would be called that, is going on display at London's Natural History Museum.
  • Just how big is it?
  • Well, the clue is in the name, you might say, but to give you an idea, whilst elephants and giraffes may be the tallest animals we can expect to see, they'd be dwarfed by a dinosaur you may be more familiar with,
  • The diplodocus.
  • And the dinosaur that we're talking about would cast a shadow even that, standing at 14 metres tall, and a whole 37 metres long.
  • Even in the dinosaur world, it's a bit of a big deal.
  • And now a full-sized cast of Argentina's Patagotitan skeleton has made the epic journey to London to inspire and educate a new generation of visitors.
  • I think the first thing everyone experiences when they come into this space is they go, oh my gosh, it's so big, and that sense of awe and wonder at the scale of what the natural world can produce is incredible.
  • We know loads of people love dinosaurs and they're a great way into learning about things like evolution, adaptations, ecosystems, and so we hope that people will really learn lots about those sorts of topics that help us understand the natural world today.
  • The fossilised remains of the beast were discovered when a rancher in Argentina's Patagonia region, hence Patagotitan's name, found himself staring at a single bone as big as he was, sticking out of the ground in the desert.
  • Paleontologists were brought in to recover and preserve as much of the skeleton as possible.
  • This giant herbivore walked the earth around 100 million years ago.
  • It's thought to be four times the size and weight of Dippy, the Natural History Museum's beloved diplodocus, and 12 metres longer than a blue whale.
  • So animals like this have a number of adaptations that help them to thrive at this large body size.
  • Their legs act like huge, strong pillars to hold up that weight, powered by gigantic muscles attached to very wide, powerful hips that help keep the animal stable.
  • In addition, we also know they have powerful hearts for pumping huge amounts of blood around the body and very complicated, efficient lungs that would have been able to deliver oxygen even to such a large body.
  • The exhibition organisers hope Patagotitan's arrival will generate a renewed conversation around the earth's surviving large creatures, as well as making the little kid in all of us look up and say, wow.
