What are facts about the cave bear?

Answer 1

the short faced bear or arctodus simus is an extinct species of bear, it was the largest land predator of it's time, the largest bear known to science and lived in the americas. estimates on it's size range from 1300 pounds to as much as a ton, on all fours it was six feet high at the shoulders and may have been 12 feet high when standing upright. though larger than it's contemporay the grizzly bear, the short faced bear had a more graceful build with longer limbs in proportion to it's body, it's feet pointed forward as opposed to the pigeon toed gait and stance of the brown bear and it may have been adapted to a more active predatorial existence. it is thought to have been a purely carnivorous animal as opposed to it's omnivorous brown bear cousin. the short faced bear also called the bulldog faced bear had a much shorter face than other bears, structured more like a feline's. it's jaw muscles were exceptionally powerful and it may have regularly crushed the bones of it's prey to get at the nutrient and fat rich marrow. predator versus scavenger is a popular debate among experts, with some saying that it was adapted to run down it's prey and was therefore an active hunter, others say that the shear size of the beast would have limited it to bullying other predators off their kills. it probably did both. the mass extinction of megafauna at the end of the last ice-age resulting in loss of food resourse, competition with it's more adaptable brown bear cousins, and contention with humans probably lead to the short faced bear's extinction. it's closest living relative is the spectacled bears.
