Ursus spelaeus Pleistocene Carpathian Mountains, Romania Discovered in the Carpathian Mountains, this is one of the largest Ursus spelaeus skulls ever found. Cave Bears inhabited Europe, Eastern Europe and parts of Asia until they went extinct at the end of the last Ice Age. As shown by the archaeological record, they were contemporaries of modern humans: many cave sites show signs of competition between Cave Bears and humans as the two species battled for shelter for thousands of years. Evidence shows that both Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons hunted Cave Bears; scientists deduce that the demise of the Cave Bear may have been, in part, due to human hunting. Measures 19 3/4in long
