New evidence from a team of scientists at the University of Bristol suggests that even the largest dinosaurs could swim. The team studied the fossilized footprints of a titanosaurus found in the Cretaceous rocks of England. The footprints show that the titanosaurus was walking in water that was at least 1.5 meters deep. This suggests that the titanosaurus was able to support its own weight in water and may have been able to swim.
The team also studied the bones of the titanosaurus. They found that the bones were hollow, which would have made them more buoyant. This suggests that the titanosaurus may have been able to float more easily in water.
The team's findings suggest that the largest dinosaurs were not as limited in their movement as previously thought. They may have been able to travel long distances across land and water, which would have helped them to survive and thrive in a variety of environments.
Here are some of the key findings of the study:
* The titanosaurus footprints were found in Cretaceous rocks that were deposited in a shallow marine environment.
* The footprints show that the titanosaurus was walking in water that was at least 1.5 meters deep.
* The bones of the titanosaurus were hollow, which would have made them more buoyant.
* The team's findings suggest that the largest dinosaurs were able to swim and may have been able to travel long distances across land and water.
