Cave Bears and the Devil's Cave

Despite the large size and ferocious appearance of the cave bear, it probably had the same sort of omnivorous diet that modern bears have, feeding on meat, berries, nuts, or whatever was available. Some paleontologists believe that it was a vegetarian.

You can read my husband Geoff Habiger's description of our visit at "A Visit to Devil's Cave" for more information about the geology of the Teufelshohle, and how to get there.

(Cave bear photograph is taken from a postcard available at the Teufelshohle.)
