There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

How about both leo and spelaea/fossilis being directly evolved from shawi?
The African subspecies of shawi had been evolved into leo, while the Eurasian subspecies had been evolved into spelaea/fossilis. Is really necessary to put a transitional form between shawi and leo-spelaea-fossilis?
Also, isn't the Beringian lion just a subspecies of the Cave lion? The Eurasian subspecies is usually the nominated one known as Panthera spelaea spelaea, while the Beringian subspecies should be Panthera spelaea vereshchagini.
