Gerry!! Behistun and Persepolis are entirely different places, and the Behistun inscriptions are from the late 6th century BC. John mentioned a 3rd-millennium relief!

 

The onagers sports a pair of very long ears, and wears only a tuft of hair at the tip of its tail.

Thanks John.  Yes, the depiction in question is the Behistun relief at
Persepolis.  Is this the one you are referring to?  I have a question:  how
can the observer of a relief differentiate betwen  a horse and an onager?

Best wishes,
Gerry
