Add The New York Post on Google Archaeologists in North Dakota have unearthed the first set of footprints of a running T-Rex — after a schoolteacher led them to the “incredibly rare’’ find.

The four giant three-toed footprints of a massive 66-million-year-old T-Rex cover 23 feet and were found in the Hell Creek Formation in the state’s Badlands, The Sun reported Friday .

“Bones tell us an enormous amount about these animals, but footprints capture a moment of behavior,” said Tyler Lyson, senior curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, to the outlet.
