The land kept thousands of dinosaur footprints for 80 million years
Many people call this area the Bolivian Jurassic park. Torotoro National Park, located in the Andes Mountains, holds thousands of dinosaur footprints from 80 million years ago.
Over millions of years, dinosaur footprints appear on the surface again.
This land was once located near a large bay. The mud then hardened into stone and Earth's crust moved. Over millions of years, dinosaur footprints appear on the surface again.
This used to be a residence of a giant herbivore who likes to live in wetlands. In addition, the dinosaurs bordering the tail mace Ankylosaurus and the hollow-tailed dinosaur, carnivores that may have been ancestors of birds, also lived in ancient Torotoro.
Paleontologist Ricardo Céspedes said: " We need to study Torotoro more carefully because that could help better understand what happened when the dinosaurs became extinct and mammals appeared".
The locals hope Torotoro with large amounts of dinosaurs and spectacular limestone scenery will bring them an important source of income from tourism.
