Indonesian rock art is decaying at an alarming rate due to the effects of climate change, researchers said.
This includes a picture of a wild pig drawn 45,500 years ago on the island of Sulawesi - said to be the world's oldest animal cave painting.
Other cave motifs in the region depicting hunting scenes and supernatural beings have also crumbled faster as temperatures increase.
The findings signal that more needs to be done to preserve the priceless art.
