The remains of Europe's largest ever land-based predator - a 10-metre long dinosaur - have been discovered near England's south coast.

Palaeontologists say the prehistoric bones have surfaced because of coastal erosion on the Isle of Wight.

Those remnants are believed to belong to a two-legged, crocodile-faced dinosaur, which lived 125-million years ago.

University of Southampton researcher Dr Neil Gostling spoke to Susie Ferguson.
