Crocs take a bite out of claims of ancient stone-tool use

Reptiles with big bites complicate claims of Stone Age butchery.

Crocodiles in East Africa around 2.5 million years ago had teeth capable of gouging chunks out of prey animals’ bones. A horse’s leg bone, also dating to 2.5 million years ago from East Africa, bears marks more like those of croc bites than butchery with stone tools, as previously suspected, a new study finds.
