Bigger Than A Blue Whale? A Giant 'Sea Dragon'

The story of Dr Dean Lomax and his research on Ichthyosaurs, including discovering some that were possibly bigger than a blue whale, is truly fascinating and inspiring. I hope you enjoy learning about his journey into the science!

Thank you to Dean for helping me make this video!
