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.

Probably like Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
Although the Cave lion wasn't a subspecies of the African lion like the Asiatic lion, but they still belong to the lion lineage, since the lion lineage isn't only exclusively limited to Panthera leo, but with several other lion species as well.
The Cave lion is probably the earliest offshoot of the lion family, they probably split from the African lion even earlier than the American lion, since the American lion resembles to the African lion much more than to the Cave lion.
