Residents in Pembrokeshire were baffled after waking up to find giant dinosaur footprints dotted along their local beach. A trail made up of 64 T. rex footprints, each a metre long, appeared along the golden sands of Traeth Llyfn, leaving beachgoers stunned.
A team of 10 sand artists worked with palaeontologists to design the prints, and spent more than four hours creating the 50-metre-long prehistoric trail. The installation, which brought the Pembrokeshire beach back to the Late Cretaceous era, was created to mark the launch of the Apple TV+ series Prehistoric Planet today (May 23rd), which is narrated by Sir David Attenborough and features music composed by Hans Zimmer.
Passer-by Anna Hatton, aged 72, said: “I saw these giant footprints from up on the cliff path and came down to take a look. It’s amazing how big they are up close.”
