Illustration and photo-reconstruction of an Eastern Siberian, or Beringian cave, lion (Panthera spelaea vereshchagini). This animal lived in the late Pleistocene in Yakutia, Alaska and the Yukon. The skeletal remains of Eastern Siberian lions were found together with the fossils of typical Ice Age fauna. The relatively large size of the lion suggests that it may have hunted large prey, including horses, reindeer, musk oxen, and the now-extinct steppe bison. | |
