In the Dinosaur Valley National Park in Texas, almost all water bodies dried up due to the heat, and new traces of ancient dinosaurs were found at the bottom of one of the rivers - no one had seen them before. They belong to the predatory Acrocanthosaurus and the herbivorous Sauroposeidon. Animals left footprints 113 million years ago. An adult Acrocanthosaurus weighed about 6.5 tons, was 4.5 meters tall and reached 11.5 meters in length. The predator lived in the Cretaceous period in what is now the United States. Sauroposeidon weighed about 44 tons and could raise its head to a height of 17-18 meters. The tracks are well preserved under the silt, but after heavy rains they will disappear under water again.
