A lot of people have pointed out that children will step in someone else's footprints for fun, but there is another aspect to it. Sometimes ground can be uncertain, but, if you've just seen someone else bigger than you step there without any problems of slipping or sinking, then that is a safe place for you to step as well.

The phenomenon of tree trunks turned into "caves" is quite common in the copious lava flows of Mauna Loa and Kīlauea Volcanoes on Hawai‘i Island. They are called tree molds, you can find them all over the place! I've even found a perfect impression of a hala (pandanus) fruit in lava rock.

It's fascinating to see the lava engulf some trees and harden in place before the trees can burn up, and then footage of a while later after the trees had completely burned away leaving just some tree shaped holes.

Walking through something loose and bulky like snow (or presumably ash) is easier when you can step into the prints of someone breaking trail. Out on long walks through the snow we would take turns breaking trail while the rest followed in the tracks for a more restful hike. It's also good because if there is a risk of stepping in a covered hole or something sharp, the tracks of the one in front are essentially guaranteed to be ok.

Stepping in other people's footprints also has 2 interesting characteristics. 1) It's easier. Any rough or unstable ground you have to do more force stepping and removing your feet, so stepping on already compressed ground requires less effort. 2) you can hide your presence. Tracking footprints are a classical way of finding your prey. Along other reasons.

As soon as you mentioned pillow lava, I knew that poor rhino didn’t go the way of Gollum. It makes you feel less sad than the fossils from pyroclastic flows and ash falls.

Pretty sure I saw Rhino Death Cave at a music festival back in the '90s.

Like if you want to be instantly covered in a hot but not too hot pyroclastic flow, leaving your impression inside the rock for the future generations to study.

"Rhino, go on. Now! Throw it in the fire ! Rhino hesitate "What are you waiting for? Just let it go!" Rhino : "The Ring is mine!" And then Golum and the rhino plunges into the fire. Tolkien edited the story later because he had no need for a rhino-shaped cave.

10:12 At this point I was expecting to hear about dinosaur footprints in Koytendag mountains in Turkmenistan. They look better preserved. The footprints are speculated to be of T-Rex.
