For the first time ever, a fossil print of a two-toed carnivorous dinosaur has been discovered in Korea.
A researcher from the Korea National University of Education made the discovery in South Gyeongsang Province.
The length of the footprint was roughly 15.5 centimeters and the width 8.4 centimeters. It dates back almost 100 million years.
Researchers believe the two toed meat-eater is from the same family as some of the dinosaurs featured in the popular film "Jurassic Park."
Until now scientists thought there were only large carnivorous dinosaurs on the Korean Peninsula, but this proves that small carnivorous dinosaurs existed as well.
Before this discovery similar footprints were found only in China and the U.S.
