Description
Cave bear hand replica measures 10.3 x 6.0 x 3.5 inches. The Ursus spelaeus hand is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a private collector. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
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.
Cave bears were comparable in size to the largest modern-day bears. The average weight for males was 770 to 1,320 lb. while females weighed 495 to 550 lb. Of cave bear skeletons in museums, 90 percent are male due to a misconception that the female skeletons were merely “dwarfs”.
Cave bears grew larger during glaciations and smaller during interglacials, probably to adjust heat loss rate.
