Otjihaenamparero, Prehistoric tracks protected area near Kalkfeld, Namibia
The protected site contains over 30 individual three-toed dinosaur footprints preserved in sandstone, measuring between 7 and 15 centimeters in length.
Scientists first identified the dinosaur tracks in 1925, leading to the designation of Otjihaenamparero as a national monument of Namibia in 1951.
The site represents a geological time capsule that demonstrates the presence of large bipedal dinosaurs in southern Africa 200 million years ago.
Visitors can access the site for a fee of 20 Namibian dollars and combine their trip with a visit to the nearby Etosha National Park.
The tracks form two crossing paths extending up to 32 meters in length and belong to different species of the scientific classification Saurichnium.
