From: Sabertooth carcass consumption behavior and the dynamics of Pleistocene large carnivoran guilds
Examples of African warthog carcasses consumed by modern lions (A–C). Carcasses are completely defleshed by lions (B). Bone breakage is frequent on femora (both ends) and proximal humeri and tibiae (A, C). Radii are commonly more intact, with variable modification of the ulnar olecranon. Compare to the pattern seen on the Platygonus carcasses modified by Xenosmilus (Fig. 1).
