Glaciers covered the mountains Vranica, Vran, \u010cvrsnica, Prenj, Vele\u017e, Bjela\u0161nica, Treskavica, and many others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the remains of mammals like the mammoth, elk, bison, and deer, there are displays of numerous fossils, subfossils, and later bones, which testify to the fact that caves have always been used for shelter. Visitors can see the fossilised tooth of an Upper Pleistocene cave lion (<em>Panthera spelaea<\/em>) found near Bu\u0161ko Blato (Livno).
