The Cave Lion (Panthera spelaea) was a large prehistoric feline that roamed Europe, Asia, and North America during the Pleistocene epoch. It is known for its impressive size, with some individuals weighing up to 600 pounds. The species is characterized by its robust build, large skull, and distinctive mane, which may have been more pronounced in males. Cave lions primarily hunted large herbivores, such as woolly mammoths and reindeer. They lived in a variety of habitats, including open grasslands and rocky areas. The species went extinct around 14,000 years ago, likely due to climate change and human hunting pressures.
