It is widely theorized that due to the radically changing climate and environment at the end of the last ice-age there began a mass extinction of megafauna especially large prey animals here in the Americas. Coincidentally, the Clovis people were also in the midst of their migration into the new world at about that time. The combination of the loss of prey, competition with other super predators and contention with humans lead to the demise of the American lion, along with the extinction of an enormous percentage of megafauna in the Americas. the lion, in general, all over the world has lost more ground than any other living animal in history. Once they ruled and inhabited every continent except for Australia, Antarctica and the extreme Artic.
