Footprints from at least three species of dinosaurs, possibly more, can be found at this site.<\/p>\n<p>In the preserved tracks, you can see that some had five toes on their feet, while others had three. By placing their hands down on the rocks, a visitor can instantly bridge the gap between the Cretaceous and the present.<\/p>\n<p>Know Before You Go The Subeng River rises quickly during the rainy summer months, obscuring several varieties of prints altogether. If possible, it&#8217;s best to plan your visit during the dry wintertime. Bring a pair of boots if you have them, or a towel if you plan on going barefoot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
