I'm here in Patagonia in the southern part of South America because, 00:00:11.794 - 00:00:16.409
a few years ago, a man looking for one of his lost sheep found 00:00:16.473 - 00:00:21.656
a simply gigantic bone sticking out of a rock - 00:00:21.720 - 00:00:25.675
a bone that was going to astonish science. 00:00:26.007 - 00:00:29.330
That first bone led to the discovery of over 200 others. 00:00:30.913 - 00:00:35.230
They were all huge - so big that they could only have come from a dinosaur. 00:00:39.743 - 00:00:45.579
And what a dinosaur it would turn out to be! 00:00:45.728 - 00:00:49.151
One that seems to defy the laws of nature. 00:00:50.940 - 00:00:54.151
These bones are part of a skeleton that has remained hidden 00:00:56.122 - 00:01:00.036
and marvellously preserved for 100 million years. 00:01:00.100 - 00:01:04.359
An international team of scientists assembled to try 00:01:07.753 - 00:01:11.401
and work out what sort of dinosaur it belonged to. 00:01:11.465 - 00:01:14.608
It's like a palaeontological crime scene! 00:01:16.771 - 00:01:19.430
Each bone is an important piece of evidence that can give us 00:01:20.527 - 00:01:24.086
information as to what the living creature was actually like. 00:01:24.150 - 00:01:27.762
We'll use the latest forensic technology, 00:01:28.364 - 00:01:31.270
we'll compare it with how giant animals live today 00:01:32.173 - 00:01:35.266
and we'll build a full-size skeleton of this stupendous creature. 00:01:36.550 - 00:01:41.282
And we will try and work out in detail what it looked like when it was alive. 00:01:43.914 - 00:01:49.867
Absolutely amazing! 00:01:55.519 - 00:01:58.614
Could it really have been the biggest animal ever to walk the earth? 00:01:58.926 - 00:02:03.707
