Remains of an extinct breed of Bronze Age cattle have been discovered by archaeologists in a cave in the Yorkshire Dales.
Researchers working with cave explorers uncovered the remnants of an auroch while surveying a number of caverns and sinkholes near Ingleborough.
The team also found evidence of the area being used as a human burial site during the Neolithic period.
A spokesperson said the discoveries had helped shed light on how the caves were used by those who lived and farmed in the Dales prehistory.
Aurochs were once found across Europe before habitat loss and hunting wiped them out in the 17th Century. They are regarded as the wild ancestor of modern cattle.
