Discovering the fossil report 'the bloodiest assassin' lives near him

Scientists have found the largest fossil leopard "blood punch killer" (Acinonyx jubatus) dating back to 1.8 million years, living near ancient people in Dmanisi, Georgia.

Currently, the remaining family of leopards are the fastest living creatures on the ground, long as beautiful as cats, able to run at a speed of 70 mph (113 kph).

This fossil analysis shows that this is the largest extinct newspaper, dating back to 1.8 million years. Based on the limb bones before and after, said the leopard weighs about 220 pounds, which is twice as heavy as the current leopards.

The Dmanisi area used to be forest valleys and grasslands, open spaces for hunting newspapers. Here, these extinct predators are capable of hunting antelopes and horses because they are capable of running as fast as an athlete to the sprint and using their teeth to prey on the prey, the researchers say. know.

Researchers say extinct leopards are capable of growing very strong like a bloody murderer, on average, each leopard hunts 16,500 lbs (7,500 kg) of prey each year, more than any any other predator.

The leopards kill their prey, eat a portion and leave plenty of leftover food for other animals, perhaps even for humans. This discovery has shown more interplay in the context of ancient living environment.

Previously, the oldest Acinonyx jubatus skull skull found in China dates back about 2.2-2.5 million years.
