similar story in the NYTimes had this illustration:

A modern horse with leopard spots like those seen in France's Pech-Merle cave. Comparing DNA from the present and the Stone Age convinced scientists that those spotted depictions were based on existing animals. [Thomas Hackmann]

I never saw a horse that looked like that. Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Someone stirred the zebra’s paint.

Looks like the perfect coat for a snowy terrain dotted with rocks and snow-draped evergreens. Until it warmed up that is.

  Thanks, Civ       The cave paintings at Lascaux , in the Dordogne region of France are magnificent. The design, slavish relationships, color, and realistic quality make them seem bright and alive 17,300 years later.
