A new DNA analysis of prehistoric horses suggests that the painters
behind the polka-dotted horses painted on cave walls in Pech-Merle,
France, weren’t taking artistic license.

I think it's really awesome that prehistoric horses had polka dots on them. It is sad that they don't have them anymore. I mean, who wouldn't want a leopard print horse? Anyway, I think it's so cool.
Wow! This was a very interesting article. I never would have thought that horses came in leopard print! I'm surprised we didn't figure this out earlier, because we have based so many other things on drawings on walls and stuff. I wonder when horses stopped having spots. I guess for them it would be sort of like a zebra without stripes.

This is very interesting because it shows that there were more adapted animals than dinosaurs back then.
