A preserved leg from a dinosaur that was killed on the day a giant asteroid hit Earth, wiping out the prehistoric creatures, has been discovered at the site visited by the BBC for David Attenborough's latest documentary. The incredible discovery of the limb, which still has skin intact, was discovered at the Tanis site in North Dakota, in the United States.
The leg is just one of many fascinating finds that have been unearthed at the Tanis site. Scientists believe that the dinosaurs who lived in that area were killed on the exact day an asteroid hit Earth, putting an abrupt and fiery end to the reign of the creatures, The Mirror reports.
On Friday, April 15, David Attenborough will be lending his voice to 'Dinosaurs: The Final Day with David Attenborough' at 6:30pm on BBC One. The BBC has spent three years filming for the paleo-doc at the Tanis site, which has also been the site of several other very impressive discoveries.
