Maybe the difference is similar to today's mainland clouded leopard/sunda clouded leopard, chimpanzee/bonobo, eastern/western gorilla.

The owner of the Pleistocene park said he would like to have cave lions at the park just whenever he gets enough herbivores to be at the park and reproduce . Some parts of Canada and Alaska could work too for a habitat but for now it seems like Pleistocene park/Siberia is the ideal place to put them if they are brought back. 

But I don’t know what cave lion they will use to bring them back most of the cubs and tissue they got were cave lions from Siberia and yutika so I’m guessing  those are beringian cave lions. But like 2 cubs are from 40-55,000 years ago I’m guessing those are the Eurasian cave lions but I think it’s interesting we may see cave lion/African lion hybrids in our lifetimes but it will be tough and it’s going to be a long journey we’ve never brought a BIG cat back from extinction. But for now I’m reading a lot about tigers in northern India,lions in South Africa,and jags in the pantanal. Soon I’ll start reading about cougars in Canada and Persian leopards.

Yes, those two cubs are from Beringian cave "lion".

I recomend you to read also about the pumas of Chile, they match the biggest Canada/USA pumas on record.

Yea I’ll read about them too I didn’t think cougars in Central America could reach large sizes I thought only Canadian and American cougars could reach huge sizes . Reply
