            Rhinos.

            Rhinos and hippos are more common as engravings than paintings. Both the black and white rhinos are represented.
            Some are so carefully engraved so that the characteristic folds of their skin are depicted.             Twyfelfontein 534 XII

            Elephants, Giraffes.

            Elephants are fairly frequently painted and engraved in certain regions.The paintings may be in red, black or white. Sometimes elephants are shown being hunted by a large party of men.
            There are also therianthropes with elephant heads and trunks: it is thus possible that they were part of a shaman’s vision. According to the! Kung elephants have remarkable potency. Some of the most interesting paintings of elephants are in the Western Cape, and they are shown surrounded by zigzags and crenellated lines.             Twyfelfontein 534 XII
