"During the Pleistocene, the lion had a geographic range that extended south to the 21st parallel and east to 87º E, from Gujarat to Bengale. There is no archaeological evidence of its existence east of Bengale (22°59′12.32″N; 87°51′17.91″E) or in the south (Manamendra‐Arachchi et al. 2005). During historical times, lions at no time colonised the south as far as the Narbada River (22°43′14.70″N; 77° 3′10.06″E) and the Bengal region (Pocock 1930)."

So during Pleistocene, they lived in Bengal but not east Bengal. Here 'East Bengal,' is it referring what today we know as the entire country of Bangladesh or just the eastern part of Bangladesh?
