New research indicates that dinosaurs traversed a common route between Africa and South America approximately 120 million years ago, prior to the continents drifting apart. Over 260 dinosaur footprints from the Early Cretaceous Period have been discovered in present-day Brazil and Cameroon. These regions are now separated by over 6,000 km across the Atlantic Ocean.
