Huge T-Rex tracks appeared on a Welsh beach this weekend as Traeth Llyfn in Pembrokeshire was transported back to the Late Cretaceous by a team of 10 sand artists, to celebrate the unearthed fact that Tyrannosaurus rex could swim. The installation celebrates the launch of TV Apple TV+ series Prehistoric Planet.
Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, and with music composed by Hans Zimmer, the series brings a natural history lens to the prehistoric world. Sand artists spent over 4 hours creating the 50-metre-long prehistoric trail. 64 Dinosaur footprints crossed the Welsh beach - which was used as a filming location in the ground-breaking series.
Local passer-by Anna Hatton, aged 72, said: “I saw these giant footprints from up on the cliff path and came down to take look. It’s amazing how big they are up close.”
