The animal that was MOST LIKELY found painted in the Lascaux Cave is the oreindeer. Lascaux Cave features paintings of several large herbivores, and reindeer (often spelled as "roe deer" in some contexts) were common in the region during the time when the cave was painted. The other animals listed, such as the bison and camel, are not typically associated with the cave's artwork. Turtles are also less likely since they are not large game animals that were typically depicted in Paleolithic art.
