Raising the Dinosaur Giant | Preview

Season 34 Episode 11 | 41s

Have scientists discovered the biggest animal to have ever walked the planet? Deep in a South American desert, a giant is being awakened after 101 million years of sleep. Paleontologists have discovered a giant femur – the largest dinosaur bone that has ever been unearthed. Sir David Attenborough will guide us through the remarkable journey of waking the giant as it happens.
