Cool. Now that they have found the tracks, I guess it won't be long before one will be able to take the Carnivorous Dinosaur Train into Sydney for the opera.

Judging from the lack of photos, it ate the guy with the camera.

...large dinosaurs were living in a polar environment during the Cretaceous Period, when Australia was still joined to Antarctica and close to the South Pole.

Terrible thing that global warming. Even the dinosaurs suffered from it. Then again we have our current dinosaur, Al, causing us to suffer.

lol. When I read the headline I had this mental image of police roping off the carnivorous foot prints.

Carnivorous dinosaurs from Australia?

For those with truly obscure fetishes for political history, I give you this photograph:

I heard that did that to some dino tracks in a Hill Country river in Texas. It is private property and I guess the owners got tired of people coming down into their river to see them. There is a state park in north Texas where you can still see dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy River.

Does this mean that these large carnivores were living in a frigid South Polar environment? What did they eat? Does it mean that they had to be warm blooded to survive in such an environment?

I don't think there were any frigid areas in that period. But then came Gorasaurus. Inexplicably, everywhere Gorasaurus went it became suddenly cold.
