Paleoworld-101 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Great find, congratulations! I love those little teeth. "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
