ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - D - THE LEOPARD (Panthera pardus)

[brotherbear]

I feel that we are discussing this topic at the wrong place perhaps. But then, we are talking about the late Pliocene - early Pleistocene leopards prey here. Australopithicus did not likely use fire. I believe that honor began with Homo erectus. The Australopithicus 'people' might have thrown objects such as sticks and rocks. But, even this was probably clumsy by modern standards. They were probably more of a prey species than predator, but they had to have had some form of survival strategy. Reply
