Giant vs Buffalo Fossil Find Near Pretoria
From Johannesburg, news arrives of fossilized bones showing a giant man and a buffalo found side by side. Roadmakers at Springbok Flats north of Pretoria reported the discovery, later moved to the Transvaal Museum for analysis. The buffalo is estimated at 11 feet, and evidence suggests a violent death likely ending a hunt. The joint death hints at a prehistoric struggle between human and animal power.
