As an aside, and a shameles plug, I am finalizing a paleontology exhibit to debut at the Old County Courthouse Museum in Santa Ana, CA the first week of February. Thecolection includes one specimen from an American Lion, now extinct. These lions were BIGGER than their almost indentical African cousins. They lived at the same time as the Sabre Toothed Cat, so prevelant in the nearby Le Brea Tar Pits. Considering the bison and rhinos who lived here, along with Imperial Mammoths and Mastodons, the LA basin was quite a wild safari land 15,000 years ago!

Thanks for the notice. It sounds like something great to attend.
