The animals were used in the "venatio" which was an animal hunt, a sort of extra added attraction to the gladiator games. They were separate from the gladiator bouts and were held in the morning of the day of the combats. The men who fought them were called "venatores" and were completely different from the sword and armor gladiators that fought in the afternoon. The animals came from the wild parts of the empire, bears from the north, bulls from Spain, but most of them came from Africa, as the big cats such as leopards and lions were popular in the hunts.
