Pre-Dinosaur Footprints Found by Scientists.
Fossilized footprints of an ancient giant amphibian that existed over 250 million years ago have been discovered in South Africa. The rhinesuchid temnospondyls existed during the late Permian Period and had bodies similar to crocodiles or massive salamanders. The footprints show that the creature swam like a crocodile and tucked its feet while swimming. This discovery provides insight into Earth's earlier days and helps fill in gaps about this period.
