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.

So, what can we conclude as concerns the American lion ? Was he a more sociable cat than the european cave lion ?
I also think in this way. From my own research and tigerluver's, we can all agree the conclusion that the American lions appeared to bear a lot of more resemblance with the African lions, unlike the Cave lions that resembled more like the Amur tigers.
The only reason could stand with this fact is that the Cave lions might have abandoned the traditional social structure of the lion, they evolved in a different way.
The other hypothesis could also suggest that the Cave lion was the earliest lion branch that diverged from other lions, thus they were the most different looking one.
