Cave Bear's (Ursus spelaeus) bones were found in many caves all over the Europe. It was a big bear wich lived during Pleistocene and became extincted near 20.000/18.000 years ago, for unknown reasons.

The morphology and etology of these bears are very well understood by scientists thanks to the large amount of findings coming from the european caves.

It was a very big bear: a big male could reach 800 Kilos.

Althought it belonged to the group of Carnivorous it was adapted to a quite complete vegetarian diet.  He stayed in the caves during the winter in hibernation.

In the Caverna Generosa more than 40.000 cave bear's bones were found.
