Hana ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona Cave Lion no nā hale hōʻikeʻike a me nā hale kiʻi

No ke aha i kapa ʻia ai he liona ana?

Panthera spelaea, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka liona ana ʻo Eurasia,

I kēia manawa ua hana ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona o lākou no ka hōʻikeʻike hale hōʻikeʻike e Blue Lizard Company.

Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka liona ana kekahi o nā ʻano liona nui loa, me ke kiʻekiʻe o ka poʻohiwi ma kahi o 4 kapuaʻi, a ʻo ka lōʻihi (koe ka huelo) kokoke i 7 kapuaʻi.

ʻO ka liona ana ʻEulopa a i ʻole ka liona steppe, he ʻano ʻano Panthera i pau i ʻike ʻia ma ʻEulopa ma hope o ke kolu o ke kolu o ka Cromerian interglacial stage, ma lalo o 600,000 mau makahiki i hala. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka loiloi phylogenetic o nā iwi mōʻalihaʻi he ʻokoʻa loa ia a hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai ka liona hou (Panthera leo) e kū nei ma ʻApelika a me ʻAsia.

Kākoʻo ka ʻikepili o nā ʻokoʻa morphological a me ka ʻikepili mitochondrial i ka ʻike ʻauhau o Panthera spelaea ma ke ʻano he ʻano ʻokoʻa i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai ka liona ma kahi o 1.9 miliona mau makahiki i hala. Hōʻike nā hōʻike genomic nuklea i kahi kaʻawale hou aʻe ma kahi o 500,000 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, me ka hoʻohui ʻole ʻana me nā kūpuna o ka liona hou. Ua pau ia ma kahi o 13,000 makahiki aku nei.

ʻO ka liona ana ʻo ʻEurasia kekahi mea ʻaihue ʻino i ka bea ana (Ursus spelaeus); ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua loaʻa ka inoa o kēia pōpoki ʻaʻole no kona noho ʻana i loko o nā ana, akā no ka nui o nā iwi i ʻike ʻia i loko o nā wahi noho bea. Ua ʻai nā liona ana ʻo Eurasia i ka manawa kūpono i nā bea ana e moe ana, a he manaʻo maikaʻi paha ia a hiki i ka ala ʻana o ka poʻe i manaʻo ʻia.

I kēia manawa no ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana i kēia mau mea momona Ice Age, ua hana ʻo Blue Lizard Company i ke ʻano hoʻohālike liona ana animatronic no nā hale hōʻikeʻike a me nā hale kiʻi kiʻi! Welina mai e hoʻokaʻaʻike no ka hana ʻana i nā holoholona.
