Why hello Titanosaur! Meet Sir David Attenborough
I am an original wildlife documentary nerd. It didn’t matter if the documentary is about long gone animals such as dinosaurs or more recently-departed megafauna or animals very much alive in the here and now, I will watch it and watch it avidly, lost in a world far beyond Continue Reading
First impressions: Superstore
