The last cave lions in Europe become extinct. Remains dating to this last era were found in Spain (Cantabria) in a cave inhabited by humans, along with bone remains of red deer, brown bear, fox, hyena, horse, and aurochs. The lion bone remains are marked in such a way that it is believed the animal’s fur has been removed. The remains were found more than 130 meters inside the cave, in an area adorned with cave paintings on the walls, evidently illuminated by fires and torches.
