"The Queensland tracks were probably made by giant carnosaurs -- the group that includes the Allosaurus. At the time, these were probably some of the largest predatory dinosaurs on the planet." "These tracks were made by dinosaurs walking through the swamp-forests that once occupied much of the landscape of what is now southern Queensland," he said.

But it lived off of plants and favored ferns, based on the contents of its stomach. The researchers compared the contents of its stomach with fossil leaf studies from the same time period and region.
