Panthera spelaea (GOLDFUSS 1810) from North-western Croatia

The comparative analysis of the cave lion teeth (M1 and P4) from North-western Croatian Pleistocene sites (Veternica, Velika peaina and Vindija caves) indicated the presence of Middle and Upper Pleistocene forms of this species. Considering some common characteristics of stratigraphic younger populations of the cave lion from the North-western Croatia and Repolusthöhle population it could be supposed that Croatian populations belong to the Westeuropean lineage with special characteristics.
