Cave bear (SciiFii)

The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) is a species of bear that originally lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and was once extinct since 24,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. The cave bear resembles a slightly bulkier version of the brown bear (Ursus arctos), but it is slightly larger in size, growing on average to be about 9.1 feet (2.8 meters) in length and weighing between 300 and 800 kilograms. When standing on all fours, a cave bear is about 4.7 feet (1.5 meters) at the shoulders, but on its back legs, it can reach to be about 11.50 feet (3.5 meters) tall. Interestingly, the cave bear is among the most herbivorous of the bears, feeding on a wide range of vegetation, including grasses, tubers, fruits, and among other plant materials, however, the cave bear can occasionally feed on dead animals to supplement its diet. Unlike most bears, the cave bears are peaceful and docile animals towards most other animals apart from carnivores such as cave lions, tigers, and among other predators, however, the cave bear may attack natural predators if there are young cave bears nearby like any other bear species, but strangely, cave bears do not exhibit this behavior towards humans nor do they attack people who wake them in their hibernations, and that may be due to genetic engineering. The conservation status of the cave bear is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the cave bear's wide natural range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
