Millions of years ago, one of the largest animals to ever exist strutted around what is now the Gobi desert. And it left behind some massive footprints.
The Gobi desert has long been a popular place for paleontologists to search for dinosaur bones. Since the 1920s, scientists have trekked to the central Asian desert to scrounge up fossilized skeletons. Recently, a joint group of researchers from Japan’s Okayama University of Science and the Mongolian Academy of Science came across a massive footprint that may have been left behind by a long-dead titanosaur, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports.
