The animal's tails and their bridles are depicted with studded with spikes along their length. Cattle are still quite common, but they are more and more stylized. At the very end of the period the animals became completely stylized. Dromedarys, cattle, and horses appear much like large toothed combs. Rock Art in Chad Now Extinct Today, bored young shepherds still draw stylized animals on the same walls their ancestors did, but they now use animal dung instead of paints.
Rock art is now, by any real standards, totally extinct in Chad.
Rock Art Rock Art Location Much of the rock art in Chad is found in the Ennedi hills in north-eastern Chad. These hills are a massif, somewhat triangular, of sandstone on top of a granite base. Erosion has carved the hills into terraces, with high plains dropping to steep gorges. The region has regular rainfall during the summer, with rivers flowing a few times a year. The rock art was produced over a long period of time and evolved considerably, having no less than fifteen distinct styles.
