Technology is a wonderful thing!
Drone footage has captured the world's longest dinosaur tracks dating back from 150 million years ago.
These tracks, known as the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Track, stretch 318 ft long with 134 unique steps.
The prehistoric footprints were left by a long-neck sauropod dinosaur.

According to the US Forest Service, the tracks were made by a single dinosaur looping in a 270-degree turn - which shows evidence of the reptile's ability to make a sharp turn.
The aerial footage impressed a lot of viewers, receiving more than 7000,000 views after it was published on the ABC Instagram page on October 6.
Reportedly, these sauropods are the largest animals to have ever lived on land and can be identified by their long neck, sweeping tail and small heads.

You might recognise one sauropod called the Brachiosaurus which found its fame in the iconic 90s film Jurassic Park.
But if the screen doesn't do the beast justice to you, you can visit the real-life public Jurassic Park in Ouray County, Colorado.
Although to get there, you'll need to hike the steep, two-mile-long Silvershield trail, which has a 1,600-foot elevation gain.
The property was owned by the Charles family since 1945. However, according to the Denver Gazette, it wasn't until 2021 that the family discovered that the potholes on their property were actually dinosaur tracks.

After the remarkable discovery, the family reached out to the Forest Service to inquire about acquiring the trail in 2022.
Anita McDonald, daughter of Jack Charles and a trustee of the estate said: "The family is happy to offer this unique trackway to the U.S. Forest Service, ensuring that the land is protected and enjoyed by future generations."
This new discovery is the second-largest sauropod track from the Jurassic period in America as well as the longest continuous sauropod footstep sequence.

Interestingly, it comes as two sets of "almost identical" dinosaur footprints were uncovered 3,700 miles apart in Brazil Cameroon.
While these countries are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, back 120 million years ago, dinosaurs were able to walk freely between the two.
The vast area included today's South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica - all part of an ancient supercontinent called Gondwana.
"We determined that in terms of age, these footprints were similar," said Louis L. Jacobs, a palaeontologist from Southern Methodist University (SMU).

"In their geological and plate tectonic contexts, they were also similar." He concluded: "In terms of their shapes, they are almost identical."
