NELSON (New Zealand) - SCIENTISTS have discovered the first evidence that dinosaurs roamed the South Island of New Zealand with 70-million-year-old footprints found in six locations. They are the first dinosaur footprints found in the country although bones, mostly vertebrae, have been discovered in two North Island locations.

The footprints were found by scientist Greg Browne in the remote Whanganui Inlet in the north-west of Nelson at the top of the South Island. They are spread over 10km and in one area there are up to 20 footprints, Dr Browne said.
