About this picture …

This cave in Kirkdale, North Yorkshire, had people baffled when early 19th century scientists identified the remains of animals such as zebra and antelope. One theory was that they had been swept there in Noah’s Flood, but William Buckland, Dean of Christ Church and Professor of Geology at Oxford, showed that the cave had been the den of a hyena, and that these typically sub-Saharan creatures had once roamed Yorkshire.
