Bears' Cave (Romanian: Peștera Urșilor, Hungarian: Medve-barlang) is located in the western Apuseni Mountains, on the outskirts of Chișcău village, Bihor County, northwestern Romania. It was discovered in 1975 by Speodava, an amateur spelaeologist group.
The cave features rare minerals, such as mirabilite and anthodites, being second in Romania in value of anthodites, after the Peștera Vântului in the Pădurea Craiului Mountains. [2] In 1986, geologists have found cave bear and brown bear bones in the cave. A few bones were transformed by the Palaeolithic man, who inhabited the cave, in tools.
The cave bear had a very broad, domed skull with a steep forehead; its stout body had long thighs, massive shins and in-turning feet, making it similar in skeletal structure to the brown bear. [15] Cave bears were comparable in size to, or larger than, the largest modern-day bears, measuring up to 2 m (6.6 ft) in length. [16]
