Papo Dinosaurs Cave bear 55066

The cave bear is today an extinct species but has long coexisted with the brown bears that we know today. While the two species were similar in some respects, the cave bear was physically more imposing, reaching up to 1.30 meters on its four legs and 3.50 meters when standing. It weighed three times the weight of a brown bear, or 450 kg. Solitary in nature, the cave bear spent the spring feeding and was thus able to hibernate throughout the winter. It was not uncommon for some to perish during this period from lack of food. Many bones have also been found at the bottom of caves, hence their name “cave bear”.
