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.

Interesting finding, the other hypothesis is that the Cave lion was descended from an ancient group of the maneless African lion.

At the time when the Asian lion used to split away from the African lion at 100kya, the lion had already developed a maned form, the maneless Cave lion could split much earlier than that.

However, this article seems to be quite old which is 2007, and does this study still stand by now?
