210-mn-yr-old bird-like footprints of 3-toed animal found in Africa

Animals with bird-like feet, which were likely three-toed, roamed Earth 210 million years ago, scientists have found. The ancient footprints found in Africa indicate bird-like feet evolved possibly 60 million years earlier than previously thought. These footprints exhibit two characteristics: some resembling non-bird dinosaur tracks and others mirroring modern-day bird footprints.
