Cave lion cub

[GuateGojira]

Check the first picture of @tigerluver, it clearly shows a male without a mane. In fact, is an accepted fact that the cave lions do not had manes at all (Yamaguchi et al., 2004).

About the group hunting lions, there is great doubt about if the picture shows an actual hunt, or just a religious point of view, or vision, of these animals, after all, it is the only one depicted in group. It was stated that the cave "lions" hunted reindeer, horses and other type of animals and did not needed to hunt in groups.

There are several facts that are unknown by most of the people, primary because the popular books do not take in count the new findings. Even the name "cave lion" is incorrect, as Dr Diedrich stated many times that these great cats do no lived in caves, but in the savanna like habitat, so he call them the "steppe lion", which is correct.

Also, check that the image of Vogelherd shows spots and faint stripes.

The images of Persian lions are NOT comparable with those of the cave "lions", they are not even the same species, and are thousands of years of difference, made by modern humans. They are clearly manned modern lions. Reply
