Jeremy Clarkson has hinted he may be ready to leave Top Gear after being suspended over a bust-up with a producer.
Writing in his column for the Sun newspaper he appeared to refer to himself as a "dinosaur", explaining that "the day must come when you have to wave goodbye to the big monsters".
He wrote: "Nature made a mistake when it invented the dinosaur. It was too big, too violent ...
"All the dinosaurs died and now, years later, no-one mourns their passing.
"These big, imposing creatures have no place in a world which has moved on."
Clarkson, 54, has been suspended over a row in which he allegedly tried to hit a producer, named in reports as Oisin Tymon.
A petition calling for Clarkson to be reinstated has reached more than 840,000 signatures.
But the controversial presenter wrote: "You can start as many campaigns as you like and call on the support of politicians from all sides, but the day must come when you have to wave goodbye to the big monsters, and move on.
"We lose one animal and get another. The world turns."
He goes on to say: "As you may have heard, I've been suspended by the BBC following a fracas at a North Yorkshire hotel.
"I don't intend to dwell here on what happened then or what will happen in the future. I'm sure you're as fed up with the story as I am.
"One of the things which has cheered me is how many people have expressed support in the last few days. I'm touched and grateful."
Clarkson is being summoned to appear before a BBC disciplinary panel that will decide his fate.
The panel will be chaired by Ken MacQuarrie, the head of BBC Scotland who conducted the investigation into Newsnight's false expose of Lord McAlpine.
The corporation has not revealed when or where the hearing will take place.
:: Read Sky News' interview with a family who say Clarkson launched into an expletive-ridden rant at the producer.
According to reports, he lashed out because he was unable to order a steak at the Simonstone Hall Hotel near Hawes, North Yorkshire, where the production team were staying.
The Sun and Daily Mirror said the hotel's chef had gone home by the time they arrived and they were only offered cold meat platters, although Clarkson had ordered a £21.95 steak.
The papers quoted a source who claimed Clarkson blamed Mr Tymon for not arranging hot food and said there had been a "scuffle".
