Femoral morphology of Cave bears from Croatia

In this paper we present the results of the research performed on the cave bear femora from the Upper Pleistocene layers of the Croatian caves Vindija, Velika pećina, Veternica and Cerovačke pećine. The study, based on femoral biometry, morphology and biomechanics, was performed with aim to answer if there are variations within the species caused by the temporal and/or environmental differences.
