About This Tool
A study showed that animals painted by humans during the Stone Age were more accurate than modern artists. The error rate of animal patterns on prehistoric murals was only 46.2%, while the error rate of historical depictions in the 19th century exceeded 80%, some animals in the historical depictions are walking or jogging with limbs wrong. Even Leonardo, who was good at drawing anatomical drawings, made mistakes when drawing animal movements.
You could find 28 hilarious wrong historical depictions of animals in this random tool, but it is normal that the ancient drawings are not inaccurate, ancient people may just record these animals by virtue of ancient legends and imagination.
