It opens with a dinosaur opening its eye. Near the end shows the massive Titanosaurs in love.

The music is excellent, but cannot tell if they are saying Great Wide World or saying Great Wild World.

There is one big mistake though in this commercial. The Pterosaur shown flying, those giraffe sized dinosaurs never flew in their life. They used those appendages to boat sail swim on water and ate mostly fish. Any aeronautical engineer will tell you the same. You simply cannot fly a giraffe sized animal.

Actually, I do not know which is the worst anti-science of paleontology, whether David Attenborough plugging the kook idea of a tiger with saber teeth, when they were walrus tusks that the tiger preyed upon.

Or the astounding kook anti-science of having pterosaurs fly in the air when all they did was use their appendages to boat sail on water.

Both, are antiscience designed to get youngsters into museums, but teaching them a fraud and deception. I find it deplorable to show this on PBS, of the anti-science insanity. Gluing on Walrus teeth to upper jaw of cat. And pretending Giraffe sized animals could ever fly.
