I couldn't find the answer anywhere Spectacled bears are NOT extinct. They are Threatened and need to be protected. For more information with photos and more, go to: http://www.squidoo.com/spectacled-bears
most scientists believe that the cause of this was climate change or maybe lack of food
about 12 years ago because i saw them when i went to the zoo when i was 4 and i am now 16
The cave bear became extinct about 27,500 years ago. This was during the Last Glacial Maximum, or the last glacial period.
The short face bear lived during the Pleistocene epoch, which was approximately 11,000 years ago, in what is now North America. The scientific name for this type of bear is Arctodus sinus.
The short-faced bear was the largest carnivore in North America during the Ice Age. The short-faced bear lived in the high grasslands west of the Mississippi, from Alaska to Mexico.
simply it diddn't but it was the top predator near the end of the ice age as Sabre tooths came extinct
The biggest short faced bears were Agriotherium Africanum at 650 kg, Arctodus Simus at 700 - 800 kg( large males could weigh a tonne) and Arctotherium angustidens at 1000 kg, eventhough large males could get to 1500 kg.
Frozen extinct species living in only certain time periods in the same parts of the world. For example, mammoths, saber tooths, short-faced bear, peccaries, etc.
well a polar bear can get to about 50 years of age before death
It depends where you live. In some places there are no restrictions, in other they are totally prohibited.
Obviously they survived! What do you actually mean? They had a long struggle, kept warm,snuggled up in firs with each other, slept with the dogs, ate meat, built fires, grunted at each other and waited for the SPRING AGE!
Umm, you should continue to live your life. You aren't going to die if you are short for your age. I'll admit, I am VERY short, but I'm still breathin'!
A brown bear lives a naturally long life. Males commonly live to 25 in the wild and females about 37. The species can live to 48 years in captivity.
Smarter than the A-ver-AGE bear.
White bears or polar bears have a relatively low life expectancy compared to humans. Usually, polar bears do not live past 25 years old. The oldest known polar bear age was a female at 43.
grizzly bears usually live for about 40 years in captivity
the can grow to be 100yrs in age
