[edit] Location

The reference implies that the remains were found somewhere close to Yukon, whereas the text mentions NE China. Is this because of tectonic plate movement over the course of 350,000 years, or am I reading too much into this?  freshofftheufoΓΛĿЌ  23:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

No, the title of the reference refers to Panthera atrox (the American lion), who was found near Yukon. A part of the refered article has info on Panthera youngi. Peter Maas 15:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
