Cave Bear (NHMW-Geo 1979/2081/0001)3D Model
3D scan of a skull of a cave bear cub (Ursus spelaeus) that was found in a cave in the Hartelsgraben near Hieflau (Styria, Austria). Until cave bears died out during the last Ice Age about 24,000 years ago, they were widely spread over Europe.
This is the only complete skeleton of a juvenile cave bear ever found. Together with a skeleton of an adult cave bear it can be visited in the Ice Age (Eiszeit) corridor of the NHM Vienna. They are number 31 of the NHM Top 100.
