Four footprints reveal how an adult T. rex walked

A team of researchers discovered four dinosaur footprints in the Hell Creek formation, in North Dakota, United States, which may represent the first known trackway attributed to an adult T. rex. Each footprint is approximately one meter in length and displays the characteristic three-toed mark consistent with the predator. The rarity of dinosaur traces in this geological formation makes this discovery particularly significant for understanding the locomotion patterns and behavior of adult tyrannosaurs.
