One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Archeologist Mary Leakey showed me the exact spot where she discovered Zinjanthropus in Tanzania. She kindly picked me up when she came across my compact car stranded on a rocky dirt road in the Serengeti with two flat tires surrounded by hungry lions. She took me to her home where she had my tires repaired. She introduced me to several giraffes and other animals that lived at her home and compound. She asked that I keep our meeting confidential at the time because she feared the government might deport her. She tried to keep a low profile.

Mary Leakey me enseno donde descubrio Zinjanthropus en Tanzania en Africa Oriental.
