In answer to your question regarding cavepainting, Robot was the name of the dog who discovered the cavepaintings at Lascaux (fell into hole and was found barking at the paintings).
The Upper Paleolithic cavepaintings consist mostly of realistic images of large animals, including aurochs, most of which are known from fossil evidence to have lived in the area at the time.
The cave was closed to the public in 1963, in order to preserve the art.
AINTINGS OF Over-life-size animals on the wall of Cueva Pintada are typical of the ancient paintings of the Sierrade San Francisco in central Baja California.
The painted rock-shelters were known to Spanish missionaries; those recorded by Meighan are between San Ignacio mission, founded in 1728, and Mission Santa Gertrudis, founded to north in 1751.
The paintings were begun by outlining the figure, usually in white but sometimes in fl, after which it was filled in with red, fl, or both.
