Prehistoric Reindeer Art and Cave Paintings

@OiOi,

Prehistoric reindeer may not go back to the Jurassic, but that have a stellar role in many of the worldest oldest cave paintings. That makes em' paleolithic reindeer.

1.  A reindeer carved on the walls of Cathole Cave in Gower is the oldest known rock art in Britain. See here.

2. Sadly in the celebrated Lascaux Cave in France, there are no images of reindeer, even though that was the principal food of these prehistoric artists. See here.

3. But the second oldest known cave art in Chauvet France does have reindeer images. See here.

4. Finally, reindeer are the only mammals known to see in the ultraviolet, an amazing and unique ability.

For all the above reasons, villagers should demand that prehistoric reindeer join the roster of tundra dinos without delay! My village absolutely needs a dino-reindeer with x-ray vision!
