  This summer, 60 percent of the U.S. state of Texas was hit by severe drought. Much of the river in Dinosaur Valley State Park is completely dry, revealing the footprints of dinosaurs that used to be submerged in the water. Park spokesman Garcia said: "The dinosaur footprints found in the park are really exciting. These footprints belong to Acrocanthosaurus, an adult dinosaur that could reach 4.5 meters in height and weigh nearly 7 tons. It lived 113 million years ago. before." Not only Dinosaur Valley State Park, but Poseidonosaurus tracks were also found in another park. It is reported that Poseidon Dragon is about 18 meters tall and weighs 44 tons.

  However, if the local rain falls in the future, the dinosaur tracks may be submerged again. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, as it protects hundreds of millions of years of ancient traces from weathering and erosion.
