Grotte Chauvet - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, France

L'ours des cavernes ((Ursus spelaeus) a fréquenté la grotte Chauvet entre -47.000 et -33.000 ans environ. Probablement induite par une variation climatique et un changement environnemental, sa disparition est datée à environ -25.000 ans.
