It’s a really nice cave drawing for sure. It even has a bit of a Disney vibe to it. I think it’s because of the little ears.

Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the bare necessities That’s why a bear can rest at ease With just the bare necessities of life

If i came across a bear, i’d sure remember it.

In fact, the word “brown” is the morph of the original word for bear. Whatever humans used for brown was overshadowed long ago by the very experience of bear itself and the color became a permanent warning against that thing that the single most terrifying brown in existence.

Well, maybe. There’s also a competing hypothesis that says it’s the other way around, i.e. “bear” is derived from “brown”; the old word for “bear” became taboo, possibility for fear that speaking the beast’s name would summon it. Either way, the fear of bears has certainly left a mark on the Germanic languages.

What we see probably isn’t even the full image, either. They probably put more details and colors on it and stuff, that’s just the outline. How else do you teach your buddies about what bears look like?
ItsMeForRealNow@lemmy.world 7 months ago
They definitely practiced. Someone taught them. Damn.

Is banana for scale a thing in lemmy? Maybe it’s bear sized and some cave owner painted his wall with an outline using his natural bear spirograph.

How do we know it was by memory? What if the bear held that person hostage for a very flattering painting

This drawing predates the invention of the pickinick basket by at least 10 years. At least.

I immediately thought this poor artist was in the cave for days, periodically poking his head out, and the bear was still there, just waiting.
They got many close looks at that bear and had nothing to do but draw the thing that would finally kill them when they got desperate enough to make a run for it.
This painting might be like someone writing Jeff on the tile floor in their own blood. Or they became friends like in a Disney movie. I see no middle alternative.
Joking aside, that’s a phenomenal likeness.
