Description A successor to fav.me/da973jh

It's 80,000 years ago, and we're 200m below the ground, in PeΘ™tera UrΘ™ilor, a cave in the Apuseni mountains in what will one day be Romania.
It is winter time, and in the absence of forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), a male Eurasian cave lion (Panthera spelaea spelaea) seeks an alternative meal. As was done by his ancestors before him, his nose leads him into the cave, high in the mountains. In total darkness, he navigates his way into the cave, and blindly sense the presence of prey. The quarry is a dormant Gamssulzen cave bear sow (Ursus (Spelaearctos) ingressus), and her cub.

Citations may come soon enough....

This is probably my last deviation is a while, before I start school...

Panthera spaelea spaelea, does that mean there is another subspecies of the Cave lion?

The name is arbitrarily added by me (and used by Marciszak et al. 2014 ) to distinguish the earlier Middle Pleistocene Mosbach lion Panthera spelaea fossilis (previously Panthera leo fossilis, but mitogenomics changed that) and its descendant, the Mid-Late Pleistocene Eurasian cave lion Panthera spelaea spelaea.
Kinda like Homo sapiens idaltu and Homo sapiens sapiens.

I guess. Still, those are technically just arbitrary manmade labels to help us sort out living beings.

I feel bad for those bears, it's nature I know but eating a family in their sleep seems so low.
