Nimrod holds a cave bear tooth. (DW: Ghost Light)

Cave bears were a type of large, prehistoric bear that died out about 10,000 years prior to the 20th century.

Nimrod's Neanderthal tribe considered the cave bear to be holy and the tooth of one was thought to be a sign of great wisdom. Producing the tooth of a cave bear from his own pocket, the Seventh Doctor roused Nimrod from a state of unconsciousness. This also sparked Nimrod's recollection of the life he had led in his tribe.
