Animals (beasts) were released from cages into the arena where thy were hunted by specially trained beast fighters called bestiarii in Latin. They relied upon their thrusting spar and their agility to avoid injury. By the end all of the animals and occasionally the hunters had been killed and were then disposed off. The Romans were pretty gruesome. The lion would always be the last animal out.
