We were talking about Hyenas and I mentioned they (Cave Hyenas) used to live on the Mendips. So I had to find the evidence. This page about cave life around the Mendips is good. Wookey Hole wiki

''Hyena Den: the cave had been used as a den by spotted hyaenas who had accumulated large numbers of heavily gnawed remains of their prey, most notably those of the woolly rhinoceros. Like many British hyaena dens this site proved to represent the Middle Devensian, when the British mammal fauna was dominated by mammoth, woolly rhinoceros and horse.'' |
