Description
Cetiosaurus oxoniensis
Named by Richard Owen, 1842
Diet: Herbivore (Low to medium-high browser)
Type: Sauropodomorph sauropod dinosaur (Cetiosaurid)
Size: 52 feet (16 meters) long and 12 tons (Note: the size is just estimate as it was known from incomplete remains)
Region: Europe (England, UK and possibly France) and possibly North Africa (Morocco)
Age: Middle Jurassic (168.3 to 166.1 million BC; Bathonian)
Enemies: Theropods such as Megalosaurus.
Episode: Walking with Dinosaurs Pilot (vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/w… 41.media.tumblr.com/3e9576a988… )
Info: The first of the sauropods to be discovered and described, this primitive member of a group of giant, long-necked, long-tailed herbivorous dinosaurs that includes the largest creatures that ever lived was described by Sir Richard Owen (who first coined the term "dinosaur" around that time) in which he thought it was a gigantic, aquatic reptile with backbones similar to a whale's (Hence the name, meaning "Whale Lizard"), but it was in 1869 that it was now considered to be a dinosaur. Like Megalosaurus, Cetiosaurus was also considered a so-called 'wastebasket taxon' as many sauropod remains found in Europe were once attributed to it, until they turned out to be different and considered their own genus.

Note: Based on svpow.files.wordpress.com/2014…
The full coloration of it is speculative since only the neck and head of the animal was only shown.

So yeah, Walking with Dinosaurs was made into a pilot by Tim Haines in 1996 that was 6 minutes long and depicts prehistoric fauna from Jurassic England, akin to Cruel Sea: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNgQNZ…
