More than 25% bigger than today's African lions, the cave lion was itself an impressive predator, one that may have specialised in hunting cave bears for food.
Hard to believe a large predator would specialize in hunting even larger predators for food.

Sounds like they would attack in winter, when the bears were hibernating and other prey would be scarce. Very likely they could kill the bear before it ever woke up.

Yeah but the cave Lions and cave Bears got their butts kicked by the cave Packers.
