Stunning drone footage has revealed the world's longest dinosaur tracks dating back 150 million years. The prehistoric tracks, known as the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Track, are 97 meters long and contain 134 unique prints.
The drone video was posted on ABCNews' Instagram page. In a few days, it gained more than 7000,000 views, TheSun reports.
According to the researchers, the unique footprints were left by sauropods. These dinosaurs had a 15-meter neck and a small head. Scientists called them the largest animals that ever lived on land.
Famous Sauropods include the Apatosaurus, made famous by the movie "Land Before Time," and the Brachiosaurus, known from the cult movie "Jurassic Park."
You can touch the real Jurassic Park in Ouray County, Colorado. The park is open to visitors who want to see the place in person. To do this, you have to conquer a winding road of more than three kilometers (one way), which rises to 490 meters in height. A trail called the Silvershield will lead to a unique place for dinosaur lovers.
Since 1945, this road has been owned by the Charles family, who only discovered in 2021 that the potholes on their property were dinosaur tracks. After making this discovery, in 2022, the family applied to the Forest Service to acquire the land.
"The family is pleased to offer this unique trail to the U.S. Forest Service, ensuring that the land will be protected and enjoyed for generations to come," said Anita MacDonald, Jack Charles' daughter and estate trustee.
This is the second largest place in America where you can see the footprints of Jurassic Sauropods. However, it is the longest in terms of the continuous sequence of sauropod steps.
Experts have also found more than 260 dinosaur footprints in Brazil and Cameroon.
