The cave bear had a very broad, domed skull with a steep forehead. Its stout body had long thighs, massive shins and in-turning feet, making it similar in skeletal structure to the brown bear.

The cave bear was a species of bear that lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and became extinct about 24,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Cave bears exhibit a great degree of size, morphological and genetic variability, and Late Pleistocene cave bears are often considered to be species complex of up to 6 different species.
