Cave Bear 2017 (papo)

The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) was a species of bear that lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and became extinct about 24,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Both the word “cave” and the scientific name spelaeus are used because fossils of this species were mostly found in caves. This reflects the views of experts that cave bears may have spent more time in caves than the brown bear, which uses caves only for hibernation.

Papo does everything to arouse kids’ curiosity through the creation of educational toys. The model figures are hand-painted and the extreme attention to detail is universally recognized. Papo has made safety a central priority and this aspect is taken into account from the very first design stages
