Attenborough at 100: A Plant-Based Path to Longevity

Sir David Attenborough, who turned 100 in 2026, says his longevity comes in part from a mostly plant-based diet—having reduced red meat intake and occasionally eating cheese and fish—along with staying physically active and spending time in nature. The piece notes research linking lower red meat consumption to lower cancer risk and heart disease, and suggests plant-based protein sources like beans, lentils, tofu and mushrooms as healthy alternatives.

"Unveiling the Resurrected Jurassic Sea Monster with David Attenborough"

Researchers have reconstructed a 30-foot Jurassic pliosaur, a large marine reptile, after excavating its enormous fossilized skull from a U.K. cliff face. The discovery and reconstruction are featured in a new documentary, "Attenborough and the Jurassic Sea Monster," airing on PBS. The pliosaur, a top predator of the Jurassic period, had massive jaws with razor-sharp teeth and lived in warm, shallow seas. The fossilized skull, one of the largest and most complete ever found, was excavated from a cliff face in a challenging three-week operation. Experts at Imperial College London reconstructed the pliosaur's movement using a robotic prototype, and further scientific research is underway to learn more about this extinct animal. Paleontologists are now planning the next phase of excavation to recover the rest of the fossilized body before it is lost to erosion.

"Rare Prehistoric Sea Monster Skull Discovered on England's Jurassic Coast"

The largely intact skull of a pliosaur, a ferocious marine reptile that lived 150 million years ago, has been discovered on England's Jurassic Coast. Measuring 6 feet and equipped with 130 teeth, the skull is believed to have belonged to an underwater T-rex-like creature capable of killing in a single bite. The fossil, one of the most detailed ever found, will be displayed in a museum next year, while scientists believe the rest of the animal is still waiting to be discovered in the cliffs. The discovery will be featured in a BBC documentary with David Attenborough.

"Rare 150-Million-Year-Old Sea Monster Skull Unearthed on UK's Jurassic Coast"

The giant skull of a 150-million-year-old predatory marine reptile, possibly a new species, has been discovered along the Jurassic Coast in the UK. Fossil enthusiasts found the snout, leading to a retrieval mission to uncover the rest of the creature. The skull, measuring 2 meters in length, will be featured in a new documentary called "Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster." Pliosaurs, like this apex predator, were among the largest marine predators in history, using their enormous teeth to prey on creatures such as ichthyosaurs. The skull will eventually be displayed at the Etches Collection Museum in Dorset.

"Unbelievable Discovery: Massive Prehistoric Sea Monster Skull Unearthed on UK's Jurassic Coast"

A fossil enthusiast discovered a two-meter-long pliosaur skull with 130 teeth in the cliffs of Dorset, England. The skull, believed to be 150 million years old, was found by Phil Jacobs on the beach at Kimmeridge Bay and was excavated with the help of fossil expert Steve Etches. The rare find, which will be featured in a David Attenborough documentary, is in remarkably good condition and is attracting scientists from around the world. The pliosaur, an apex predator of the Jurassic period, was larger and more ferocious than a T-Rex.
