    There has been some insane dinosaur news coming out of Asia in recent times, and the latest is pretty cool – especially because it comes with some visuals.

    In the Gobi desert, a team of Japanese and Mongolian palaeontologists just discovered the largest dinosaur footprint ever found in the Mongolian region.

    As big as a fully grown person, the footprint measures 1.06 metres long and 0.76 metres wide, and apparently belongs to a titanosaur.

    Herbivores with very long necks, titanosaurs could weigh up to 90 tonnes and measure 19 metres tall. They are the largest land-living animal ever to be discovered, and their remains have also been found in Argentina.

    The Okayama University of Science, who was involved in the study, released a statement:

    This is a very rare discovery as it’s a well-preserved fossil footprint that is more than a meter long with imprints of its claws. We believe it’s likely we will find more giant dinosaur skeletons, though we’re getting close to finding the biggest fossils out there.

    Imagine living in a world with creatures that big? Thank the high heavens they are only found in the ocean these days.
