Wildlife of the Pleistocene era
Wildlife of the Pleistocene era. This illustration depicts wildlife believed to have existed in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain. These include wild boar (Sus scrofa, left) and the long-legged bison (Bison voigtstedtensis, right). A large species of deer (Eucladocerus giulii) is seen grazing in the distance. The Atapuerca region contains the Gran Dolina archeological site in which remains of Homo antecessor have been found. The animals depicted here may have been hunted by this hominid

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the Pleistocene era, specifically the Sierra de Atapuerca region in Spain. The illustration showcases an array of fascinating wildlife that once roamed these lands. On the left side, we see a powerful wild boar (Sus scrofa) standing tall and proud, representing its dominance in this ancient ecosystem. On the right side stands the majestic long-legged bison (Bison voigtstedtensis), exuding grace and strength as it grazes peacefully. In the distance, a large species of deer known as Eucladocerus giulii can be seen gracefully feeding on vegetation. These animals were part of an intricate web of life that thrived during this prehistoric period. It is believed that Homo antecessor, whose remains have been discovered at the Gran Dolina archaeological site within Atapuerca, may have hunted these magnificent creatures for survival. The artwork beautifully captures not only the diversity but also the harmony between these different species within their natural habitat. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our connection to nature's past and how it has shaped our present world. This photograph serves as a testament to both biological and paleontological studies while igniting our curiosity about Earth's rich history and evolution over millions of years.
