Pre-Historic Habitats in Malta (Ghar Dalam) By Maya Zammit

Edward Caruana Dingli painting of pre-historic animals in Malta

Ghar Dalam Cave where many of the pre-historic animal bones were found

Stalagmite in Ghar Dalam The stalagmite forms on the floor by dripping of water from the ceiling of the cave .

Stalactite in Ghar Dalam The Stalactite hangs down from the top of the cave and it is formed by the dripping of water.

The following pictures show bones and remains of animals which have lived in Ghar Dalam long ago in pre-historic times

Giant swan leg bone

Different teeth from animal remains

Elephant Tusk

Hippopotamus jaw with molars

Hippopotamus hip bone

Maltese dwarf elephant

Molars from different animals
