So if I am getting this right from what I've read so far....Pleistocene lions in Africa were larger than the large subspecies of the tigers, and equal or larger than both the Cave and American lions in size?
The pictures of skulls/root canal sizes I've seen from the African Pleistocene lions were quite impressive and seem to indicate a much bigger frame than almost any tiger, but tigers still seem to have a more slightly robust build (Manchurians, Trinil, and Ngandong versions much more so).
