THE BBC HAS released 3D-footage of David Attenborough coming into close contact with a Titanosaur.
The dinosaur is the biggest animal ever to walk Earth.
“If I was on an ordinary television programme, I’d say that it was about 40 metres long – which is as long as three double-decker buses in line, and that it could reach up to the top of a five-storey building,” the veteran nature broadcaster tells us before we get to see the dinosaur.
It weighed 70 tonnes, as much as 15 African bull elephants.
Attenborough goes on to describe the dinosaur’s huge skeleton and heart – which would have weighed three times more than the presenter and could circulate 90 litres of blood with a single beat.
“It truly was an extaordinary creature. Who know how many more await discovery lying in the earth – or, indeed, are still around,” Attenborough says.
The footage is the first mixed reality 360° film made by the BBC.

Would love a job from them
Me too!
As would I! I spend enough money on it…
Meant to post the above comment on our Cufflinks profile !
We use ETSY for our Cufflinks & the majority of sales come from the US on ETSY. Its is a very popular with shoppers in the states & seems to be growing at a good rate. For small shop owners in Ireland who cannot afford a website, nor have the knowledge having ETSY setting up in Ireland is very positive as they be encouraged to set up a shop. Ireland needs money & ETSY can help craft makers in Ireland export their goods. Has to be positive?
Never heard of them before… but having such a huge company come to Ireland is brilliant
No Pat Rabbitte they didn’t come because of highly skilled workforce they came to dodge taxes , the highly skilled workforce is a bonus
The ability to poach experienced staff from the likes of eBay and Amazons EMEA hq’s is reason enough to move here. If it was just the tax rate they’d be in Luxemburg.
The function of any company is to increase shareholder value. That’s no conspiracy, it’s common sense. If Ireland is able to offer effective incentives to entice companies to set up shop here, then good. Of course a company will choose where it sets up shop based on the benefits that country offers. Again, common sense. Job creation = good. A company and it’s employees contributing to the Irish economy = good. I can understand that people are less than happy in this country, but Ai don’t understand what people persist in trying to find a dark cloud behind every silver lining. Do people want this country to fail and to never recover? Can anyone give me an example of where griping bitterness and universal pessimism lead to either a economic or emotional upturn in a country?
We’re Irish. We’re good at doing misery, with all the wailing and gnashing to teeth that goes along with it. Point proved. But it’s not going to help us any. It’s just begrudgery to the point where we’re blinded by anything good in our lives at all. Could we all just call a truce and agree to avoid the directionless whinging?
Here here!
