The carnivorans from Cava Monticino (Faenza, Italy

Among the vertebrates found at Cava Monticino, carnivorans are by far the most abundant of all the large mammals. Five different taxa were recovered: one felid, two hyaenids, one canid and one mustelid. The small-sized felid remains can be attributed to Felis christoli and seems to represent one of...
