Good afternoon, stay tuned for amazing fossil find, sinking chairs | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
and your say about what is going on at man United. I think David Moyes | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
has been making the club go completely wrong. Let's start with | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
one of the most amazing fossil discoveries of recent years. A | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
graveyard full of whale bones more than 5 million years old found in a | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
desert in South America. For years scientists have wondered why they | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
died and how so many were perfectly preserved. Now they think they have | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
the answer. Cerro Ballena, Spanish for 'Whale Hill', in Chile's Atacama | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Dessert. This area is well known for its fossils. But the huge discovery | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
of 2011 was on another level. Scientists were left baffled after | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
uncovering skeletons of over 40 whales, as well as other animals, | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
dating back more than five million years. Now experts think they've | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
worked out such a large number of the mammals ended up in the same | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
spot. They think it was caused by whales getting stranded on four | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
separate occasions. The evidence suggests they died at sea after | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
swallowing toxic algae - a group of tiny plant-like creatures. The dead | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
mammals were then washed towards the coast, where they became buried by | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
sand and preserved over time. This is one of the best find we have had | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
for a long time. We have young animals and old animals and | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
everything in between. This is a cross-section of the population of | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
animals and it is a rare opportunity to examine the way the population | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
may have looked. Researchers scanned the bones with the latest 3D | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
technology, which means they can print them in plastic to study them | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
further. It should help us learn new things about whales and other | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
species on Earth. Seal pups that were orphaned after a tidal surge | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
hit the east coast in December have been released back into the wild. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
They were brought to the wildlife Hospital in Norfolk. Three months | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
on, eight seals deemed strong enough to survive have gone back into the | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
North Sea. Now to the question that has got loads of you talking to day. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
What is going on at Manchester United? Last night they lost 2-0 to | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
the worst team left in the Champions League. Ricky has been investigating | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
the mystery of what has happened. For the last 20 odd years Manchester | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
United have dominated English football. They have won 13 Premier | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
league titles, five FA Cup 's, automatically cups and two Champions | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
League trophies. Last season they won the title by a whopping 11 point | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
margin. But fast forward less than 12 months and contrast is extreme. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
They are currently sixth in the Premier league, out of the FA Cup, | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
out of the Capital One cup and are on the verge of exiting the | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
Champions League. After 27 years last year former boss Sir Alex | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Ferguson retired and David Moyes took over. I am disappointed we have | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
not won more games. We did not get it on the day. So I need more | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
evidence, more experts to help me. I am here with my friends to talk | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
about the subject of Manchester United. What has gone wrong? David | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Moyes has made the club go wrong. Ever since he has become manager we | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
have been losing every game. I do not think it is him, I think the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
players are not putting effort into the game. Over to some more | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
supporters. He needs new players. Some say it is the manager, others | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
say it is the players or the tactics, but why they're bad form | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
continues and the reasons for their rapid fall from grace remains a | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
mystery. You have been having your say on this. | :04:26. | :04:39. | |
You can tell us what you think about this on the website and you can see | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
my favourite story of the day again. The BBC reporter who disappeared | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
from view live on telly. It has had more than 1 million hits online. You | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
can find out what caused it if you head over to the website. Goodbye. | :05:00. | :05:02. |
