Presumably adults normally went after prey large enough to satisfy their appetite, but push come to shove would have eaten smaller prey too, just as a modern lion prefers a decent meal like a zebra but will still eat anything from a rodent on up if it's hungry or an easy chance presents itself.

The "can't see adults going after these" seems a sloppy throw-away comment, not based on any evidence, and ignoring common sense!
