Homo Habilis Foot with Crocodile Bite Marks — Foot of a *Homo habilis* individual designated OH 8, found at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania by Louis and Mary Leakey, probably dating to around 1.8 million years ago. The bones show extensive damage caused by a crocodile – in fact, the whole foot appears to have been bitten off at the heel.
