The Greatest Dinosaur Find Of The 20th Century | Our World

Subscribe to Our World: https://bit.ly/3xnPuGL When palaeontologist Roland T Bird stumbled upon the greatest dinosaur find of the 20th Century - fossilised dinosaur footprints that, like the scene of a crime, suggested that a hunt and a kill had taken place - no one believed him. Bird set out to reconstruct their life-and-death encounter from the footprints alone. But fellow scientists said it couldn't be done and Bird died in 1978, his theory still unproven. Now, with the aid of computer technology, an unlikely pair of dinosaur detectives take a fresh look at the evidence. Jim Farlow is a professor at Indiana-Purdue University. His partner, Dave Thomas, is not an academic; he's a sculptor who specialises in crafting scientifically accurate, life-size reproductions of just one kind of animal: dinosaurs. The film reveals many new facts about dinosaur locomotion, bio-mechanics, metabolism and vision. And each time, the answers lead back to Bird's original theory, proving one thing over and over again: he had been right all along This film was first broadcast: 1 Aug 1999 Watch More Documentaries Our Life - https://bit.ly/3A8xRMJ Our History - https://bit.ly/3rUpdhL Our World - https://bit.ly/3ftuckM Our Stories - https://bit.ly/3ynfFyk Our Taste - bit.ly/3OZoDcV Explore Our World and watch some of the most successful nature documentary series about the environment and the wonders and dangers nature has to offer.
