Move over, Jurassic Park—Fujian just dropped a real-life dinosaur drama! 🌊 Scientists have uncovered the world’s largest deinonychus footprints, dating back millions of years, in Longyan’s Longxian track site. The discovery has led to the naming of a new species: Fujianipus yingliangi. Talk about walking into history! 👣
A global team from the China University of Geosciences and the Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum announced the find on May 6. The site is a dino-lover’s paradise, with footprints from at least eight dinosaur species—think giant sauropods, speedy theropods, and these newly identified two-toed deinonychosaurs. Twelve of their tracks were spotted, some as long as dinner plates! 🍽️
Why does this matter? These tracks are like ancient TikTok videos frozen in stone—offering clues about how these predators moved and coexisted. The discovery highlights Fujian’s role as a prehistoric hotspot, rewriting what we know about dinosaur diversity in Asia. 🧪🔍
