2001: A Space Odyssey
Clarke sets the environment of what life may have been like 3 million years ago in Pleistocene Africa. He describes an attack on White Hair’s tribe by a leopard. White Hair was described as being “old”, possibly of the same generation as Old One. Kubrick calls him “One-Eye”.

Leopard attacks were frequent, even amongst members of Moon-Watcher’s own tribe. One of his own mates had been injured by a leapord, but survived the attack, and was given a “berry-covered branch” in hopes of helping.
