The ears were short and
small. Around the cheeks the Caspian tiger was generously furred and the rest of its fur was long

1970.
*CAVE LION: The cave lion, also known as the European or Eurasian cave lion, is an extinct
subspecies of lion known from fossils and a wide variety of prehistoric art. This subspecies was
one of the largest lions. An adult male, which was found in 1985 near Siegsdorf (Germany), had
a shoulder height of around 1.2 m and a length of 2.1 m without a tail, which is about the same
size as a very big modern lion. It apparently went extinct about 10,000 years ago, during the
Würm glaciation, though there are some indications it may have existed as recently as 2,000
years ago, in the Balkans.
