The Chamber of Felines extends over a length of approximately 25 meters. André Glory identified more than 80 figures within this gallery. Among the 51 animal depictions, horses are by far the most prevalent, with twenty-nine individuals, followed by bison (nine), ibexes (four), and deer (three). Notably, no aurochs are present. Felines hold a more prominent place here than in the rest of the cave, with six representations. The distribution of figures is uneven, with 90% located within the first few meters of the passage, which is also the narrowest section of this area.
