In South Africa, scientists have announced the discovery of dinosaur tracks on the coast, estimated to be around 132 million years old. These footprints were found in ancient rocks formed long before humans appeared on Earth.
The tracks are imprints left by dinosaurs walking on soft ground such as mud or sand. Over millions of years, these marks were covered and preserved in rock, allowing scientists to study them today.
This discovery is important because it helps researchers better understand how dinosaurs moved and lived in ancient environments. It also adds new knowledge about the natural history of Africa, which has many rich fossil sites.
For scientists, each footprint is like a message from the past. It tells a story about life on Earth millions of years before humans existed.
