Altri dettagli

Research has identified countless claw marks and bear wallows left by cave bears before human intervention.

About 13,000 years ago, these galleries were decorated with 158 mammoths associated with woolly rhinoceroses, bison, horses and ibex. The figures are deeply engraved or painted in black. Four human figures and tectiform signs are also present.
