cave bear
usually written using kana alone
An extinct species of bear (Ursus spelaeus) that lived in Eurasia during the Pleistocene. The term is a direct translation of the English name and is used in paleontological contexts.
The cave bear went extinct about 24,000 years ago.
I saw a skeletal specimen of a cave bear at the museum.
