And what is the tooth-based link between North America and East Asia? Shara tells comedians Jo Firestone, Charlie Hankin, and Shalewa Sharpe all that and more. Hosted by Chris Duffy. Produced by Pretty Good Friends."

▫Discovered recently in 1994, this cave has many scenes of prehistoric life both painted and etched onto the cave walls. In the same year as discovery, the cave was sealed off to any but the lucky few scientists who have ever been inside. The charcoal art had been dated to between 32,000 - 30,000 years old and depicts wildlife of the time in mesmerizing detail.
▫What we see here are carefully and accurately created life-size replicas of the art in a purpose built structure very near the actual cave. We see the Horses lined up, fighting Rhinos, a bear, Reindeer and various other animals in vivid and dramatic detail.
