Cave Bear Hand & Foot With Sharp Claws. Ursus spelaeus, the Cave Bear, was the largest bear that ever lived, standing over ten feet tall, and has only been extinct for 10,000 years. These complete hand and feet bones are solid and light brown in color, and were found in the Bihor mountains of Romania, where they lived between 25,000-35,000 years ago. Both are extremely large, with the hand being 11" long and 6" wide and the foot 11½" long and 5" wide. Both have sharp claws up to 1½" long, which gives us some idea of the ferocity of these huge bears. Add $25 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
