Grotte Chauvet discovery Google Doodle | History of Chauvet Cave



Google is showing an animated doodle in some countries on 8th December 2020, for the 26th Anniversary of the Grotte Chauvet Discovery.

In French, Grotte means Cave. On this day in 1994, three speleologists discovered the Chauvet Cave. As illustrated in the Doodle, the cave features depictions of 14 different species— from horses and lions to dangerous prehistoric creatures like the long-extinct wooly rhinoceros and mammoth.

In addition to the paintings, the cave is also home to human footprints and some 4,000 prehistoric animal fossils.

In recognition of the site’s vast significance to the human story, UNESCO inscribed the Chauvet Cave onto the World Heritage List in 2014.
