Really Old Deer

I'm sorry this faded image of a deer isn't clearer, but what can you expect from an ancient pictograph drawn by local natives hundreds of years ago. You might ask why the drawing is so simple or childlike and without any perspective. The answer is most likely that the artist was mainly interested in conveying an idea with the resemblance of the animal rather than sketching a realistic representation. I found several other likewise fascinating pictures painted into the wall at the mouth of Pictograph Cave near Bend, Oregon, on an afternoon hike.

Tapir and Friends Animal Store believes of course in fostering a love for living animals, but encourages its "friends" to enjoy other scientific pursuits as well, such as paleontology, archeology, geology, and anthropology. We have a large selection of realistic plastic extinct animals and plastic and stuffed hoofed animals. including deer jewelry and deer eyeglass holders (peeper keepers), plastic elk and plastic caribou. These plastic animals are educational and fun and fit nicely into a diorama or are useful for any school science project.
