Description: The cave bear is an extinct species of bear from Europe. It lived during the Pleistocene era and became extinct approximately 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last glacial period. This animal's scientific name, Ursus spelaeus, is derived from the fact that many of the bear's skeletons have been found in caves. These bears seemed to have spent more time in caves, using them for hibernation, raising young, and dying in them.

Cave bears are similar to brown bears, but some notable differences are present. They were larger than current European brown bears (30%), had higher foreheads and were primarily vegetarian.
