I couldn't come up with a good enough title

A successor to fav.me/da973jh

It's 80,000 years ago, and we're 200m below the ground, in Peștera Urșilor, a cave in the Apuseni mountains in what will one day be Romania.
It is winter time, and in the absence of forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), a male Eurasian cave lion (Panthera spelaea spelaea) seeks an alternative meal. As was done by his ancestors before him, his nose leads him into the cave, high in the mountains. In total darkness, he navigates his way into the cave, and blindly sense the presence of prey. The quarry is a dormant Gamssulzen cave bear sow (Ursus (Spelaearctos) ingressus), and her cub.

Citations may come soon enough....

This is probably my last deviation is a while, before I start school...
