Many More pics for your viewing pleasure

The History of Lions originates with African Lions at least 2 million years ago & European Cave Lion(Panthera Leo fossilis in France ) in Eastern Europe then Panthera Spelaea with dates ranging from 3.4 Million -500,000 years ago for the beginning with end only 10,000 years ago . All lions are descendants of this first lion including American Lion. All Lions are named for their location due to mutations . Due to fossils being so rare all literature published has very few fossils to base anything on . It is believed to come across the Bering Strait 250,000 years ago to Alaska and down through Alaska along the coast and thru western Canada namely Yukon thru British Columbia all the way to LA , California ,South to Mexico , and then Florida with pieces in S Carolina. Since it came to Alaska almost  its called American lion. A few papers after 2009 put Alaskan items separate but those papers can’t see the forest thru the trees. American lion is from Alaska  then to Canada,  and California , then Mexico(Northern end only) , Iowa and  Florida and the most desired fossil in the world. Florida and LA lions  are same . (Cave lions and African lions were living at same time but different species than today with Ivory Coast Barbary Lions(different Species of African Lion)- only extinct for the last few hundred years , and African lions which still exists . Russian lions also came from Panthera European Cave lion, Russian species is much smaller I have had every extinct lion except a ancient European LIon Moshbacker (a friend had 1 )(not including subspecies) in the universe which no one on the planet can say . As I said researched have partial elements and small samples and conclusions are based on little . Almost all of these lions have very similar features and only differ by size and small DNA differences . In fact American Lion and European lions have  identical DNA . This one was tested 20 years ago by Larry Martin in Kansas at University so it showed similarities with European Lion so he did research way before others on this cat . While those are similar American lion La Brea is almost identical to Alaskan Lions  with only slight mutations on its way there  some.  Everywhere on earth lions are called by where they ended up including American lions. Canada lions right next door miles away were considered American Lions by all as they said they mutated slightly . Atrox is same size of many earlier lions -huge . Glaciers came as far south as Tennessee in east and California is West . In fact the last million years we have had 9 advances of glaciers every 100,000 years (80,000 ice age glaciers and 20,000 years warm) . In 10,000 more years we will be in another ice age. I’ve had American lion and Florida items and bones and skulls are no different than Alaska lions in any way. Modern African lions are much smaller but still basically the same otherwise. The Route these lions took was down thru Alaska into Washington the route to California and Florida . (This is only 1 whole l known in world-even museums outside La Brea) and they all look alike. That shows my qualifications on lions. People who deal in limited fossil material are basing any judgments on minimal sources as Lion is so scarce in Alaska and anywhere else . A few individual fossils does not make a compelling argument compared to seeing these items and mutations always occur to some degree due to environment.  I was in Yukon and they had a pelt from an American Lion at a museum . La Brea lions from California are the same as Alaskan Lions as I’ve talked to them. This lion size is truly a King of Beasts . .My friend is a writer of sabercat books, and I have actually had a number of American Lions partial jaws but that’s all with a few bones. Anyway almost all of mine is from Alaska and Florida except the feet and some inner bones from Europe and the only one in private hands known . No skulls in Florida exist in private collections except mine(I have an upper also) as well as La Brae Tar Pits -all owned by government .This lion is one -of -a -kind as someone can’t get another anywhere . . I‘ve seen so many times google does not have correct info on dinosaurs and mammals so hope this puts to rest any researchers of google .I also know the top lion expert in the world in Africa and Middle East, and he agrees wholeheartedly. All lions have minor differences even in same countries like Africa but all are closely related -Even European spelaea now is almost impossible to find as some were on market a last 10 years but now government controlled areas means no more . The  worth is at least  1/2 million and will rise a lot next 20 years so ones in private hands will never be for sale due to investment . No one has an American Lion for sale anywhere at any time. La Brae Tar pits even said their lion bones are from many different animals -all of them 5 displayed. When I told them I had only 4 lions in one they were amazed.  Yes the feet and some inner bones  are cave  lion because few American lion parts exists and its the same DNA .
