Cupules and a four-legged animal carved into a boulder.

Cupules are a type of petroglyph. They are circular depressions ground into stone which may have been created to extract a powder to use as a mineral supplement. If you look at the photo, you will see several of these. Amidst the cupules, you can also see a figure with four legs. What type of animal might this be?
