Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis)
Habitat & Distribution
Resided in both dense woodlands and grasslands
Found primarily in east Africa
The species lived between 3.7 and 3 million years ago
Physical Description
Weight: Likely about 44.6 kg (98 lb) for males and 29.3 kg (65 lb) for females
Height: Likely about 151 cm (4 ft 11 in) for males and 105 cm (3 ft 5 in) for females
Both sexes were likely covered in fine, dark hair and had stout bodies; like many simian primates, they had long arms and a thick, domed head
Behaviour
A. afarensis was likely an omnivore, consuming grasses, leaves, fruits, and roots; they may have also eaten meat, likely that of smaller mammals and fowl
Likely predators included hyenas, lions, and leopards
Like other primates, A. afarensis was highly social, and likely lived in family groups or in a hierarchy of females dominated by a male
Key Advantages
A strong climber, and likely quite agile among the trees
May have used rudimentary stone tools
See where they stand in the May Mammal Madness Tournament here!
