How does one get to be an old dinosaur? It might seem like an offensive question to ask Sir David Attenborough, but he's delighted to explain. 'I didn't get any warning, you know. I wandered into the Natural History Museum one day, and the head of the palaeontology department came up and said, "Congratulations!"
It transpires that a dinosaur, the Attenborosaurus, has been named after Sir David. New names, he explains, are always being required for plants and animals - even ones that haven't lived on this Earth for thousands of years.
