Isotopic analysis on cave lions by Hervé Bocherens and colleagues lead them to suggest that cave lions may have been solitary, due to cave lions shifting their diets after the disappearance of cave hyenas, carcasses being consumed the cave hyenas as well, suggests they were at a competitive disadvantage, and the scattering of isotopic data ...
Cave lions are large extinct carnivorous felids that are classified either as subspecies of the lion (Panthera leo), or as distinct but closely related species, depending on the authority. The subspecies or species known by this name include: Panthera spelaea formerly P. leo spelaea, the Eurasian or European cave lion

The American lion (Panthera atrox (/ ˈ p æ n θ ər ə ˈ æ t r ɒ k s /), with the species name meaning "savage" or "cruel", also called the North American lion) is an extinct pantherine cat native to North America during the Late Pleistocene from around 130,000 to 12,800 years ago.
Cave lions became extinct around 14,000 years ago at the end of the Pleistocene. [7] During the early-middle Holocene (from around 8,000-6,000 years ago) modern lions colonised Southeast and parts of Central and Eastern Europe, [8] before becoming extinct in Europe likely during classical times [9] (or perhaps as late as the Middle Ages [8]).
