Bolivia opens up its own 'Jurassic Park'
Length: 4:21
Description: Bolivian palaentologists have found the footprints of dinosaurs who roamed the area just outside the present day city of Sucre thousands of years ago. At a site called Cal Orcko, the ancient footprints were first spotted imprinted on a rocky outcrop by men working in the local cement quarry. The site has now been converted into a dinosaur theme park.
"It is one of the greatest palaeontological deposits in the world, and they have found more than five thousand footprints, at the last count in 1994, but this number is being added to constantly," says guide Marcela Manzano.
This amazing find boasts not only a huge quantity of footprints, but those from a wide variety of dinosaur species, of varying sizes and ages, that could give important clues into the evolution of these great creatures.
