@GrizzlyClaws :

About #612: Indeed yes ! Was there also a significant body size shift during this period that lasted 1 million years (between the middle and the late Pleistocene) and the if I am not mistaken ?

Thank you for reporting this fact.

Thank you for reporting this fact.

The earliest known form of the European Cave lion (fossilis) was estimated to be about 700 kya, and the late version (spelaea) whose earliest known fossil was estimated to be 300 kya.

The transition from fossil is to early spelaea showed a slight size decrease, while transiting from early spelaea to the late spelaea showed a signifciant size decrease.

For more elaborate details, @tigerluver could be there for more help.

This one is more than 3 cm longer than the replica from Bone Clone.

And the skull replica in the Bone Clone is about 38 cm, and this one could be at least on par with the magnitude of the 47 cm Panthera atrox skull replica.
