The painting is tens of thousands of years old and, yes, it's of a penguin.

SeánanForbes said at 7:14 p.m. on Jan 10, 2008: You're right about the penguins. South Africa is coastal and Botswana is land-locked. I don't know whether the water was then in Botswana or whether the people who lived then trekked to the coast. Couldn't have been a short journey on foot.

SeánanForbes said at 6:33 p.m. on Jan 24, 2008: Yes. That would make sense. Still, it will strike wonder into me that I am looking at art so old, made by human hands so long returned to earth.
