So, this P. leo/tigris spelaea is the plausible source for the P. leo atrox.

According to some maps I've seen, the late Ice Age range of Panthera leo spelaea extended all the way across subarctic Eurasia -- from the Atlantic and the British Isles to Beringia. Even Groiss assigns all the northern "lion or tiger" fossils to a single species, though he renames it as P. tigris spelaea.

Well, I'm not a paleontologist, but I think the relationship between American Lion and tiger is most plausible, because I think there's no fossil of lions in Northern Asia.
