Hey, it looks like they used the same writing system, too! ;^)

"Some marks were left by Palaeolithic hunters when removing skins, but there are also those that can be associated only with dividing the carcass into smaller portions."
He added: "Bones of herbivores usually dominate within human settlements from this period, because they were probably more eagerly consumed.
"But it seems understandable that in the case of hunting a wolf, discarding meat was a considerable loss, especially during periods of lower availability of food. Therefore, it seems that all parts of the predators' body were used."
In Pavlov, in addition to the remains of small and medium-sized predatory animals, researchers also found bones and teeth of the largest predators of the Pleistocene mammoth steppe: the cave lion and cave and brown bears
Wojtal said: "Although the remains of lions and bears are not very numerous, they also bear traces confirming that the hunters of that time used the carcasses of killed carnivores. As in the case of wolves, wolverines and foxes, the traces of cuts on the bones of lions and bears also indicate removing the skins and dividing the carcass', the researcher points out.
"Therefore, the meat of these large predators was also eaten by Palaeolithic hunters."

Dry erase came years later
It would be newsworthy if they did not.
Some days you eat the wolf
Some days the wolf eats you.
LOL!
When hunting/gathering is your only source of food you eat anything you happen to kill. Including other humans at times.
Humans established themselves as the pinnacle predator early.
Including other humans at times.

That’s why running was such a prized and constantly practiced ability.
They sure as heck weren’t running down animals.
“Can’t catch me! Can’t eat me!”
Kinda the way I was thinking, they ate anything they could get their hands on. The wolf was a threat and a competitor they’d kill every one they could.
I'd say, tell it to Ulrich von Gradwitz, but it's probably already too late.
It would be surprising if they didn’t....
I thought the bush people ran down their prey? Persistence hunting? Seems like we can run a really long way over time and most animals can’t.

Spaghetti and Pete's balls; for dessert, lady fingers.
My question is why would they NOT eat the wolf after the wolf failed in eating them?
Probably didn’t taste good, but then again, Ice Age. No grocery stores.
Well, walk them down any way.
That was how they used to catch wild horses. They would walk up to a herd and spook them. The horses would run to the next water hole, the hunters would walk up and spook them again. They would just keep doing this until the herd was exhausted and pick out the horse they wanted and lead it away.
They also capture cheetahs this way.
Animals have great speed but humans have endurance.

Kind of Slim Pickings there. :)
