00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.

00:10In a mine in the UK, hundreds of dinosaur footprints were discovered.

00:14It paved the way for a deeper study of the dinosaurs that have ruled our planet for millions of years.

00:22There are findings in the Oxfordshire, UK, that caught the attention of experts.

00:31These are not minerals, but the footprints of dinosaurs.

00:35Since its discovery, researchers have found at least 200 footprints from Oxford and Birmingham Universities,

00:44which are believed to date back to the Middle Jurassic Era.

00:48This means that these footprints are more than 160 million years old.

00:51What's more, these footprints were discovered not by one person, but by five trackways that were used by dinosaurs.

01:00The longest trackway is 150 meters long.

01:03That's why the Dinosaur Highway in Oxfordshire is now considered to be one of the largest dinosaur track sites in the world.

01:09So this is really unusual. We don't find these preservation, these very extensive trackways very commonly.

01:14So this is a really special place.

01:16But what kind of dinosaur left these footprints?

01:22Kuya Kim, what now?

01:24There are five trackways that were discovered in Dewar's Farm Quarry.

01:27Of these four, only the remains of a gigantic herbivorous dinosaur with a very long neck were believed to have been left,

01:33like the Setiosaurus.

01:35And because there are only three footprints on the fifth trackway,

01:39this is from a carnivorous theropod dinosaur, which is called Megalosaurus.

01:44Did you know that Megalosaurus is the first scientifically named dinosaur?

01:48It was discovered in 1824.

01:50And from this discovery, the public's interest in dinosaur science was discovered.

01:55To those who are wondering if it is possible for you to have discovered a dinosaur track in the Philippines,

01:59the answer is

02:00it's a mystery.

02:01Until now, there are still no dinosaurs that have been discovered here in the Philippines.

02:05Experts believe that when dinosaurs were still alive,

02:08the land of the Philippines was still under water and it was not yet formed.

02:12Do you know where the world's largest dinosaur fossil site can be found?

02:21Kapuso, we are now here at Shandong Fossil Bone Beds in Shucheng City, China,

02:26which holds the Guinness World Record for the largest dinosaur fossil site.

02:30Since its discovery in 2008, more than 7,600 fossils have been discovered here

02:35since the late Cretaceous Period.

02:38That's how many!

02:40Meanwhile, to know the trivia behind the news,
