How to play
Tap her to make her look round; drag to turn her.
Notes
Cave lions lived in Europe and Asia in the Ice Age and were larger than lions today. Cave paintings show them without manes.
Tap her and she looks one way, then the other, then back. Drag to circle it and look at the whiskers, the fur and the watching eyes.
