We still dont know if cave lions hunted in prides or not. Some reports say yes, some reports say cave lions were more solitary or hunted only in pairs of two. Am more inclined for the second option, my reasoning is the successful killing of adult male lions by even female cave bears.

Shaggygod is a great site for information. I been on there a few times. Have you posted there as well? I have been an active member until my social and busy life took over.

Mosbach lion (Panthera fossilis Reichenau, 1906)Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Time period: Early Middle Pleistocene of Eurasia (700 000 – 340 000 years ago) Size: 2.5 m in length, 135 cm in height, 200 - 350+ kg of weight. Panthera leo fossilis, also known as the Early Middle Pleistocene European cave lion, is an extinct feline of the Pleistocene epoch. It is generally considered to be an early subspecies of the lion (Panthera leo). With a maximum head and body length of 2.40 meters, which is about half a meter longer than today's African lions, Panthera leo fossilis was almost as big as the American lion from the Upper Pleistocene. Many bone-fragments of this cat are known from Mosbach in Germany, a small village, which is included in the town Wiesbaden today. A nearly complete skull was found at Mauer, near Heidelberg (Germany). In the same sediment as the lion-skull was a 550,000-year-old lower jaw from the early hominid Homo heidelbergensis. The oldest records of Panthera leo fossilis in Europe are from Isernia at Italy and are about 700,000 years old. A 1.75 million- year-old lion-jaw from Olduvai in Kenya shows a striking similarity to those of Europe. From Panthera leo fossilis derived the Upper Pleistocene European cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea), which is recorded for the first time about 300,000 years ago. prehistoric-fauna.com/Panthera-leo-fossilis

04 of 10 The Cave Bear Is a Distant Cousin of the Brown Bear "Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see? I see a Cave Bear looking at me!" Well, that's not exactly how the children's book goes, but as far as evolutionary biologists can tell, the Brown Bear and the Cave Bear shared a common ancestor, the Etruscan Bear, that lived about a million years ago, during the middle Pleistocene epoch. The modern Brown Bear is about the same size as Ursus spelaeus, and also pursues a mostly vegetarian diet, sometimes supplemented by fish and insects. 05 of 10 Cave Bears Were Preyed on by Cave Lions Food was scarce on the ground during the brutal winters of late Pleistocene Europe, meaning that the fearsome Cave Lion occasionally had to venture outside its usual comfort zone in search of prey. The scattered skeletons of Cave Lions have been discovered in Cave Bear dens, the only logical explanation being that packs of Panthera leo spelaea occasionally hunted hibernating Cave Bears—and were surprised to find some of their would-be victims wide awake.

Damn nice, that cave bear overpowered that lion and killed him. That is a nice recreation.

Cave lions do not seem to be as sociable as their African and Barbary lion counterparts.

Cave lions do not seem to be as sociable as their African and Barbary lion counterparts. We do not know how social prehistoric cat species were. A lot of guesswork. Also, the "American lion" is only distantly related to true lions.

Consider; every single video creation from the professionals show the bear killing the big cat. And still the fan-boys can not man-up to the truth.

Reply # 68, most likely a hibernating cave bear.

Reply # 68, most likely a hibernating cave bear. I agree; from the size either a she-bear or a sub-adult bear. There are ( to date ) no recorded evidence of a mature male cave bear killed by lions. Nor a brown bear -

A hibernating female or sub adult cave bear. That’s what is is.

We have no evidence concerning cave lion relations with grizzlies in Pleistocene Europe, but we do know that they preyed on juvenile cave bears and sometimes had terrible battles with adult female cave bears.

Yeah, and we have couple of reliable reports from Researchgate that adult male cave lions were killed even by hibernating cave bears. Plenty of lion bones found in those caves.
