Mating Females sometimes mate with more than one male, so there was a chance that one litter would have different fathers. Mating could take many days, and they would mate twenty to forty times a day It can take one hundred to one hundred twenty days for the babies to be born, and there were usually four cubs 80% of cubs died before the age of two New male leaders would usually kill the previous master’s cubs.
Time Frame About 300,00 years ago (that’s the ice age)
Enemies I could not find any enemies, but I would assume the weather change or humans.
Extinction I could not find any information on exactly when it went extinct, but my guess is hunters or a shortage of habitat. And if cubs were killed, the mom could not have any more, so that could also have been a problem.
