Archaeologists have discovered the world's oldest known animal cave painting in Indonesia - a wild pig - believed to be drawn 45,500 years ago.
Painted using dark red ochre pigment, the life-sized picture of the Sulawesi warty pig appears to be part of a narrative scene.
The picture was found in the Leang Tedongnge cave in a remote valley on the island of Sulawesi.
The central Indonesian Island, which occupies an area of over 174,000 sq. km. is situated between Asia & Australia and has a long history of human occupation.
It provides the earliest evidence of human settlement of the region.
