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.

No problem with me. The bears hibernate and probably that is when the Lions went from cave to cave for dinner. If you and I have a fight and I wait until you are sleeping, I win.
