Where found: Europe, Asia
The cave bear was a stone age relative of living brown bears, and a member of the bear family, Ursidae. Its scientific name is Ursus spelaeus. With a body length of up to 3 m / (9 ft 10 in), the cave bear was a similar size to the polar bear, the largest of the living bears. It was found in Europe and Asia.
Cave bear fossils have been found in caves, suggesting that the species lived and hibernated in caves (which is how the species got its name). The size and structure of its teeth suggests that its diet was mainly herbivorous.
