a recent excavation of a cave in the foothills of the pyrenees mountains in spain is suggesting our ancient cousins , the neanderthals , were more in tune with nature that the remains of other canivores including cave bears , hyenas , leopards , wolves and badgers have been found in the cave and were apparently also living there .
while some of the bones may have been brought there by the neanderthals themselves , it seems they were also sharing the cave with these other predators .
