Both Little Foot and Mrs Ples are important Australopithecine fossils found in South Africa, but Mrs Ples is the nickname for the fossilized skull of an Australopithecus africanus specimen discovered in the Sterkfontein Caves in 1947. Little Foot, on the other hand, is a nearly complete Australopithecus fossil discovered in the Sterkfontein Caves in the 1990s and officially named in 2015. Both fossils provide valuable insights into the evolution of early hominins in Africa.
