Scientists discovered dozens of dinosaur footprints in South Africa that are 132 million years old—and they're the youngest dinosaur tracks ever found in that whole region! For a really long time, people thought all the dinosaur evidence had been wiped away by ancient lava flows, but these amazing footprints prove dinosaurs were walking around there much longer than anyone thought. Imagine stepping in the exact same spot where a dinosaur walked when your great-great-great ancestors hadn't even been born yet!
