Case Bear Paw. Ursus spelaeus, the famous cave bear, was the largest bear that ever lived. It would have been nine to ten feet tall when standing on its hind legs. This complete paw is between 20,000-150,000 years old and was found in caves in Romania. The paw is 9 inches 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 because they were 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.
