A cave lion
is a very dangerous predator that lived in Eurasia in the Quaternary period
(170-10 thousand years ago) among other amazing animals such as wooly mammoths,
cave bears, bisons, and giant deer. Its prey was mostly large ungulates and
sometimes caves lion cubs. In Russia skulls and partial remains of cave lions
were found at different times. There are images of these animals depicted by
ancient artists. A cave lion is a close relative of modern lions.
