1 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:20,200 Over 66 million years ago... 2 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,640 SCREECHING 3 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,480 ..our world... 4 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,160 ..was ruled... 5 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,440 ..by dinosaurs... 6 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,520 SNARLS 7 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,080 ..the largest animals 8 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,320 that have ever walked the Earth. 9 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:54,160 Today, dinosaur experts across the globe 10 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,480 are uncovering the bones they left behind... 11 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,720 ..allowing us to imagine 12 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,320 how these extraordinary creatures may have lived... 13 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,400 ..so that we can tell their stories... 14 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,200 ..and they... 15 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,400 ..can walk again. 16 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,440 ROARS 17 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880 Amongst the jagged mountain peaks... 18 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,720 ..majestic valleys... 19 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,200 ..and scattered hill towns of central Portugal... 20 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,920 ..an astonishing discovery has been made... 21 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,280 A find so remarkable 22 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,840 it's drawn a team of dinosaur hunters 23 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,800 from across Europe. 24 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Buried here are the remains 25 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,880 of a colossus. 26 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,600 A monumental long-necked Lusotitan. 27 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,040 Known as Old Grande... 28 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,640 ..he's one of the largest dinosaurs 29 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,880 ever to have lived. 30 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:05,800 And using his bones, 31 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,840 we can begin to imagine this giant's story. 32 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,360 In the Late Jurassic, 33 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,280 our planet looks very different. 34 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,120 Amongst its shifting continents, 35 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,360 a small landmass known as the Iberian Meseta, 36 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,680 that one day will include Portugal, 37 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,760 lies surrounded by ocean. 38 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,600 An island cut off from the rest of the world. 39 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,520 CHIRPING 40 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,240 Dense coniferous forest covers much of the land... 41 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,080 ..giving way to windswept beaches on the coast. 42 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,280 SQUAWKING 43 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800 MUNCHING 44 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,840 Here, if you're in luck... 45 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,440 ..an easy lunch can be found. 46 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:41,520 For torvosaurus, the island's top predator, 47 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880 it's an opportunity 48 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,360 worth fighting for. 49 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,400 SNARLS 50 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,440 LOW GROWLING 51 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,960 THUDDING 52 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,280 But even these four-tonne carnivores... 53 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,120 ..are no match 54 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,040 for the enormous Lusotitan - 55 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120 Old Grande. 56 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,480 LOW GRUNTING 57 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,320 At a staggering 40 tonnes... 58 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,000 ..he is the undisputed king of the island. 59 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,160 But as a herbivore, 60 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,560 he isn't on the hunt for food. 61 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,960 He's been drawn to the beach by the allure... 62 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,840 BELLOWS GENTLY 63 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,280 ..of a female. 64 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,360 BELLOWS GENTLY 65 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200 As an ageing male, 66 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400 this may be his last chance to mate. 67 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,760 But female Lusotitans are only receptive 68 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920 for a few weeks of the year... 69 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,800 ..so he doesn't have long to make an impression. 70 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,480 150 million years later... 71 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,720 ..the true scale of Old Grande is emerging 72 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,720 from deep beneath the ground. 73 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,080 As the most complete Lusotitan ever found, 74 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,080 his remains allow the team, 75 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,760 led by Professor Francisco Ortega 76 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,000 and Drs Elisabete Malafaia 77 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,720 and Pedro Mocho... 78 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,960 ..to piece together the extraordinary dimensions 79 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,520 of this animal. 80 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080 They're starting with how tall he was... 81 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,040 ..which they can estimate 82 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000 using the bones from his gigantic front limb. 83 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,160 Their calculations make Old Grande 84 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,800 one of the tallest of his species ever discovered... 85 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,200 ..which is certainly one way to impress a mate. 86 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,120 Female Lusotitans may have been most attracted 87 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,960 to the biggest males... 88 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,000 SNORTS 89 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,240 ..a sign their offspring will be healthy and strong. 90 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,720 So it should be easy for Old Grande to make his mark. 91 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,960 But it's not all about him. 92 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,080 Before they will mate, 93 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,000 female Lusotitans must first wait for the seasonal rains... 94 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,600 ..making sure there is enough fresh vegetation 95 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,040 for their young. 96 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,640 And this year, the rains are late. 97 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,280 Old Grande has no choice but to wait. 98 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,560 He must guard her closely 99 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:03,440 and hope there is no other suitor close by. 100 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,520 LOWING 101 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,600 But love rarely runs smoothly. 102 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,920 Three miles from where Old Grande was found, 103 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,080 the team has made an important discovery. 104 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,360 The fossilised rib is a similar size to Old Grande's. 105 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,160 But given its distance from the main dig, 106 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,000 it's unlikely to be his. 107 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Unearthing two Lusotitans so close together 108 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,840 is unheard of. 109 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:38,080 So the team is keen to learn more. 110 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,680 They cover the sections of rib in a layer of plaster... 111 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,160 ..so they can be removed safely... 112 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,560 ..and examined in one piece, 113 00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,240 which is a massive 3m long. 114 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,200 Like elephants and rhinos today, 115 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,480 Lusotitan bulls were likely solitary 116 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,400 and very territorial. 117 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,840 Just like Old Grande, 118 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,000 this rival male would have been searching for a mate, 119 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,640 creating the potential... 120 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,760 ..for a dangerous confrontation. 121 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,200 LOW GROWL 122 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,560 Although this contender may be younger than Old Grande... 123 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,800 ..he's not afraid to challenge him 124 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,200 for the attentions of the female. 125 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,200 GROWLS 126 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,040 GROWLS 127 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,640 Old Grande is a seasoned fighter 128 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,160 and the largest bull on the island. 129 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,560 A stern warning... 130 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,680 ..should be enough to make this upstart back off. 131 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,680 But all is fair in love... 132 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,360 ..and war. 133 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,080 BELLOWING 134 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,240 The surprise attack leaves Old Grande seriously hurt... 135 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,320 GRUNTING 136 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,560 ..his leg badly injured. 137 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,480 Struggling under his colossal weight... 138 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,000 ..he is unable to right himself. 139 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,840 He can only watch... 140 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,200 ..as the rival takes his place at the female's side. 141 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,000 For a dinosaur of his size, 142 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,240 a badly damaged leg could mean the end of the road. 143 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,040 So could a Lusotitan survive this kind of injury? 144 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,360 On the coast, a significant piece of evidence might...
