During the Ice Age, cave lions likely hunted in packs, similar to modern social big cats, which allowed them to take down larger prey such as horses, reindeer, and bison. They relied on their strength, agility, and keen senses, using ambush tactics to surprise their quarry in the harsh, cold environments. Their hunting strategies would have been adapted to the open landscapes of the time, where they could utilize stealth and teamwork to successfully capture food. Additionally, their ability to traverse snowy terrains would have given them an advantage over prey animals.

There is no question that early humans hunted many of the ice age mammals - we know that even without the cave paintings. But in several places in south and central Europe, there are cave paintings which seem to rely heavily on the theme of "The Hunt", yes.
It is difficult to determine a definite winner between a saber-toothed tiger and a cave lion as both were powerful predators. The outcome of a hypothetical fight would likely depend on factors such as size, age, health, and individual fighting abilities of each animal.
Stone age cave paintings were found in France in the year 1940.
Ice-age hunters left artifacts such as stone tools, animal bones, cave paintings, and personal ornaments in caves. These artifacts provide valuable insights into their hunting practices, beliefs, and daily lives during that time.
Baby lion cubs typically start to become independent from their mothers at around 2 years of age. They gradually learn to hunt and fend for themselves with guidance from the pride.
It started with the cave paintings during the stone age.
Lion cubs typically become fully grown adults by around 3-4 years of age. At this point, they are able to hunt, establish their own territory, and potentially mate and reproduce.
African lions (Panthera leo leo) are found mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, while Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica) are a subspecies limited to the Gir Forest in India. American lions (Panthera leo atrox), now extinct, roamed North America during the Pleistocene era. Mountain lions (Puma concolor), also known as cougars, are not true lions and are found throughout the Americas, while cave lions (Panthera leo spelaea), also extinct, lived in Europe and Asia during the Ice Age. White lions are not a separate species but rather a rare color mutation of the African lion, primarily found in South Africa.

Lion cubs typically start participating in hunts with their pride around 1 to 2 years of age. They first observe and learn from the adults before gradually participating in smaller hunts as they grow and develop their hunting skills.
Yes, cave art originated during the Upper Paleolithic period, which predates the Neolithic age. Neolithic cultures focused more on agriculture and domestication of animals, while cave art is associated with hunter-gatherer societies.
