Giant ground sloths the size of a car, elephantine herbivores and a deerlike animal with an elongated snout are depicted in rock paintings in the Colombian Amazon rainforest, according to a new study. But some archaeologists say the art is more recent.
These extinct giants are among many animals immortalized in an 8-mile-long (13-kilometer-long) frieze of rock paintings at Serranía de la Lindosa in the Colombian Amazon rainforest -- art created by some of the earliest humans to live in the region, according to a new study.
