This member of the Australopithecus group could be seen roaming around Kenya Tanzania Ethiopia all in east Africa.They have walked these lands for 1.1 million years which was 1.2-2.3 million years ago. You might find these criminals running away from the predators: lion’s, leopards and hyenas. While the boisei’s are constantly targeted by predators they prefer to eat roots, nuts, rough vegetables and sometimes meat from small reptiles and birds, this categorizes them as omnivores, which is good in case a certain food source is scarce the can diet on one that is not. They constantly forage for these on the floors as they pass through areas in which they might inhabit. For instance: wetlands, Grasslands, Rivers and lakes. Boisei’s like a habitat that has many things for it to live off and raise its offspring too. At the time the boisei walked the earth was cooling and major climate change and ecological change was happening. There were changed rainfall patterns and unpredictable changes in temperature which is thought to be the reason why Boisei couldn’t survive. The earth’s moisture decreased and the tropical landscape dried up making it harder to find a good food source and places to raise their offspring. Food was scarce as was water and their travels searching for a new habitat that supplied them with the essentials was disappointing and unrewarding.
