Dinosaur footprints have puzzled scientists for many years, but a new Al app is now helping to solve these mysteries. The app, called DinoTracker, looks at pictures of fossilized footprints and uses artificial intelligence to predict what kind of dinosaur made them. It works so well that its results are almost as accurate as those from human experts who study fossils for a living.

As DinoTracker analyzed thousands of footprints, it made an exciting discovery.

Some of the tracks looked very similar to the footprints of modern birds, even though they were more than 200 million years old. These bird-like tracks were found in rocks that formed long before scientists thought birds existed.

This discovery could change what we know about the history of birds. It suggests that the ancestors of birds may have appeared much earlier than we once believed.

Thanks to new technology like DinoTracker, scientists are finding new ways to learn about the ancient world and better understand how animals evolved over time.
