Cave Bear Paw. Ursus spelaeus, the famous cave bear, was the largest bear that ever lived. They would have been nine to ten feet tall when standing on their hind legs. This complete paw is between 20,000-150,000 years old and was found in caves in Romania. The paw is 9.5inches long and 5 inches wide complete with all five digits and 1.5 inch claws. The claws would have been even larger and deadlier in life being covered with keratin the same material as in our finger and toe nails. The paw is complete with a light brown color and has been mounted with wires for complete stability and display.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.
