[PAR] [TLE] Panthera youngi [SEP] Panthera youngi is known from Choukoutien, northeastern China and Japan, and lived about 350,000 years ago in the Pleistocene epoch.  Fossils found in Japan were originally regarded to belong to those of tigers, but being discovered later that at least some belong to lions.  Harington, 1969 suggested that the American lion, the Eurasian cave lion and the large Chinese "Panthera youngi" are conspecific. [PAR] [TLE] American lion [SEP] The American lion ("Panthera leo atrox" or "P. atrox" ) – also known as the North American lion, Naegele’s giant jaguar or American cave lion – is an extinct lion of the family Felidae, endemic to North America during the Pleistocene epoch (340,000 to 11,000 years ago), existing for about 0.33 million years.  It has been shown by genetic analysis to be a sister lineage to the Eurasian cave lion ("Panthera leo spelaea" or "P. spelaea").  It was part of the abundant Pleistocene megafauna, a wide variety of very large mammals that lived at the time.  The most abundant remains have come from the La Brea Tar Pits.
