The cub is made just before it is able to open its eyes. When building I assumed that these animals were slightly bigger than modern lions.

Also, in this case the scientific guidance is done by Mr. Dick Mol. I used a skull cast made by BoneClones,
Grosse tieranatomie, Gottfried Bammes,
Animal anatomy for artists, E. Goldfinger,
Kleine encyclopedie, D. Mol, J.E. Vos, R. Bakker e.a.,
The art of the big cats, John Bellucci,
National geographic artikelen,
Internet en eigen studies van opgezette en overleden leeuwenwelpen.
