Cave Bear (NHMW-Geo 2022/0019/0001)3D Model
3D scan of a skull of a fully-grown cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) that was found in the Výpustek cave in Czechia. Until cave bears died out during the last Ice Age about 24,000 years ago, they were widely spread over Europe.
The whole skeleton of the adult bear can be found in the Ice Age (Eiszeit) corridor of the NHM Vienna, together with the only complete skeleton of a juvenile cave bear. They are number 31 of the NHM Top 100.
