Well, it tells us a lot about the relative size and weight of an animal, plus whether it was wounded at the feet, how many toes/claws and legs it had. and it could tell us how fat it was

What can a paleontologists tell from fossil footprints of a dinosaur?
Paleontologists can determine many things. By the number of toes, their shape, the type of claws, and the size of the footprints, researchers can determine what type of animal the footprint belonged to. By the distance between footprints and the depth of the footprints, they can find out the speed and weight of the animal. By the size of the footprint, they can determine the size of the animal. The footprints can also show us interesting things about an animal's gait, for example, that raptors held their sickle claws up off the ground or that pterosaurs walked on their wings and feet. The presence of many footprints of the same type of animal can reveal that a species lived in groups.
When animal make footprints is the soil moist or dry?

What can you tell from this fossil about where the animal lived and how it moved how could you learn more about the extinct animal?
Fossil footprints can tell us how the animal moved. The stride length, or the distance between two footprints, tell how fast the animal moved. The longer the stride length, the faster the movement was. Footprints give clues about the animal's weight. The deeper the footprint, the heavier the animal would have been. The size and shape of teeth tell us what kind of food the animal ate, which can give clues about where the animal lived. Animals that ate fish would have lived in or near water, for example. The type of rock the fossils were found in tell us what kind of ground the animal walked on. Scientists learn more about extinct animals by studying live animals and using computer models and simulations. They study living animals to see how their muscles move and how their bones fit together. Computer models and simulations help scientists test their ideas, for example about how fast an animal might be able to run.
