A series of camel sculptures carved into rock faces in Saudi Arabia are likely to be the oldest large-scale animal reliefs in the world, a study says.
When the carvings were first discovered in 2018, researchers estimated they were created about 2,000 years ago.
This was based on their similarity to reliefs at Jordan's famous ancient city of Petra.
But a fresh study puts the camels at between 7,000-8,000 old.
