Among the animals described in the prehistoric Egypt paintings, ie the period before 3,100 BC, experts from the University of Bristol (England) counted that there were lions, wild dogs, elephants, types of antelopes, giraffes.
Besides artistic value, these paintings also act as scientific documents, in addition to fossil evidence obtained in the area.
Based on valuable data, researchers have created a detailed timeline of ecology, whereby extinction cases have a chain effect in the biological community, according to the PNAS report. .
'Once a rich and diverse mammal community is now extremely different,' said team leader Justin Yeakel.
As the number of animals decreases, especially small-size herbivores, the predators that depend on them are also severely affected and disappear with the extinction of those species.
