Horses of the Ice Age

[Still Waters]

During the upper Palaeolithic (that is, between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago), prehistoric people in Europe and Asia (and elsewhere) depicted the animals they saw in thousands of piece of cave art. They drew, sculpted and painted rhinos, mammoths, giant deer and lions, but they also produced illustrations of less exotic beasts, like owls, mustelids and rabbits.

Comparisons made with living animals and fossils reveal that these depictions are, on the whole, biologically accurate and often result from informed observation.
