How did australopithicus hunt?

Australopithecus likely did not engage in hunting in the way modern humans do, as they primarily foraged for fruits, nuts, and other plant materials. However, they may have opportunistically scavenged meat from carcasses left by predators. Evidence suggests they had some social structure, which might have allowed them to work together to access food resources. Their dietary habits indicate a flexible approach to food sources rather than organized hunting strategies.
