I would also hope we can maintain our current megafauna from going extinct. This can be done if each individual US state would focus on one particular exotic megafauna animal, bred them exclusively in sanctuaries. This is, in a way, already happening in Texas with the Tiger. There are as many tigers in Texas as they are in the wild. Imagine how much this would help such animals live for another 100 years rather than 10-20 years tops. This would be a very good idea to keep animals alive, revenue, and pride. They tried making California the state of the elephants about 3-6 years ago but that plan was scrapped. Might come back?

About the same time that these mega fauna died out, there were comets that hit North America, South America parts of Asia and Europe. People became cave dwellers to survive. Interesting most of the first nation creation stories start from their exiting the caves. The event was called the Younger dryas. Comets or asteroids hit, followed by mass burn off and a cooling off or long winter..Although it's not a main stream idea, yet, there is certainly enough anthropological, and geological evidence to make it a highly probable idea, that ties this all together at the end of the pleistocene era. It's such a pity we lost so many of these amazing creatures. Want to see some truly amazing beasts check out Australian mega fauna.

[@drawmelikeafrenchgirl]

I don’t think there’s anything conspiratory about suggesting early ancestors started in caves. Humans require shelter to survive, and before fire and tools and increased problem-solving changes took place - caves offered insulation and protection from the “outside”. For example, would you sleep in the middle of the forest if a 15 foot bear was walking around at night? So considering the natives of the Americas didn’t have the European influence of Christianity to work with - their pragmatic conclusion that “we came from caves” makes all the sense in the world.

[@threezysworld8089]

We base our idea of how big the short-faced bears were on a few skeletons. We don't know whether those skeletons are/were big ,small, or somewhere in-between. I would have to think they got bigger than the skeletons that we have because of the prey they were hunting. The odds that that one (or handful) of short-faced bear skeleton(s) we've found being among the biggest to exist is highly, highly unlikely. Think of how common it is nowadays to see the largest bear of a certain type. First you have to be someone who likely spends enough time in the woods/wilderness. You already eliminate most of the world population right there. You'd have to be one of those people, one who physically laid eyes on a bear out there, making the person now a person in a subset, within a subset, etc. Now I'm just explaining how low the odds are of coming across the largest bear out there, mind you- talking about LIVING bears. Now think about how low those odds get with fossilized skeletons.

[@francesbernard2445]

[@velociagrooms1507]

According to isotopic analysis of short faced bear bones found at La Brea tar pits, the bears ate nothing but meat meaning they were a hyper carnivore. They ate Bison, Horse, Giant Sloth, Mammoth, and Mastodon. Their leg bones were long and thin. Running wasn’t their style. The force of impact on a sharp turn would break their bones. They moved more like a Camel does today. In sweeping arcs, allowing for more locomotive efficiency. They got so big so they can intimidate other predators of their time. Their short faces also allowed the bear to eat bones, which in turn allowed them to eat the nutritious marrow inside

Lesser Short-faced Bear refers to Artodus pristinus.

Arctodus and Arctotherium are considered examples convergent evolution. The modern Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus) is often referred to as the the Andean Short-faced Bear and supposed to be closer related to the extinct Florida Speckled Bear, Tremarctos floridanus, (also known as the Florida Cave Bear & Florida Short-faced Bear) and to Arctotherium species than to Arctodus species. The Spectacled Bear is arboreal & prefer higher up the sides of mountain and are only less herbivorous than Giant Pandas though known to rarely kill cattle. Remebering the big arguments over where T-rex was a predator or a scavenger; hyenas could not bring down their own prey thus forced to scavenge off kills of lion & other predators and the claim Smilodon couldn't chase prey long distances because of its bobtail citing cheetahs using their long tails for balance, it is important to realize many so-called Scientists have big egos (& usually low self-esteem that accompany it) which helps them to latch on to an idea and often ignore evidence to the contrary.

Many so-call "scientist" ignore the facts continuing to argue there position. The discovery that hyenas are very effective predators & lions far more often scavenge off of hyena kills than hyenas scavenge off lion kills. Almost all scavengers (including vultures) are also predators. This information which newer evidence that T-rex was faster & did capture prey means the T-rex was not just a scavenger. There for the probability the Arctodus simus (Giant Short-face Bear) probably hunt prey as well. As far as Smilodon's bobtail preventing it from chasing prey one can look film of Canadian lynx or bobcat chasing prey anyone tell, despite the missing long tails of cheetahs and cougars, none of the Lynx genus have a problem with quick turns and neither does white-tail deer. There actual seems to be some commonality in the body forms of Lynx and Smilodon. While the closeness been the extinct Florida Speckled Cave Bear (Tremarctos floridanus) and the modern Andean Speckled Short-faced Bear (Tremarctos ornatus) seem to go against the host's notion that Short-faced Bears grew larger in the north (Arctodus) & shrunk in the south (Arctotherium). To say the host's notion is only to not look at the full evidence. I am getting tried but hope to find this thread later.

Theres bears like that now that can run 40 miles per hour & no diffrence from the short face bear a grizzly or Kodak bear would absolutely destroy you

[@jamesstreet228]

The thing is, they were big, yes, but their bone structure was very light. They could break their legs by trying to change directions too fast when running. So they couldn't have been very formidable in fighting with large prey or other predators. A broken limb could be a death sentence. The Smilodon on the other hand was tailor made for taking down large prey many times it's size. If the GSFB were alive today I doubt it would relish the chance to grapple with a large Kodiak bear that would have a much hardier bone structure and weigh as much as the GSFB.

The north American short faced bear would have surely died out when the us government ordered the kill off of most of the bison a few centuries ago.

[@matthewwelsh294]

Alaska and Northern Canada might be hiding them. Very remote

[@bradp.3770]

I would love for these bears too be around

[@gabe608]

The short face bear sounds like the legends of human faced bears that hunt and killed people in the very far north. They made a show including one but was more a magical creature.

[@danielhennigar4444]

Just reading a book by Wolf D. Storl called "Myth.Aninal.Icon.Bear". He briefly brings this species up and I had to KZbin it and found a video made all but 2 hours ago. What a coincidence

[@Goldarr1900]

I live in Tx. when I was a young kid many decades ago, there was this hole that was dug up by the phone company,to about seven feet deep and ten feet wide. Me and my cousin went to look inside, to our amazement there was this big femur 🦴 so my cousin being more agile, went in there and got it out. We took it to my house, only to be sent back and leave it where it was by our mothers 😩 I will never forget the big femur 🦴 I know where it is, but now there is a sidewalk.

[@Goldarr1900]

@Icy Purple We were kids.. not even teenagers.We had to obey our mothers.My mother and her sister grew up in a superstitious family.They thought it was probably human, but it was too big to be human.I don’t think it was a burial, it was too deep. Like 7 or 8 feet deep.The place where we lived flooded a lot, maybe all those bones from thousands of years were washed up there, and eventually collected for thousands of years.🤷‍♂️

The descriptions of the so called "dogman" match the skeletons of the short faced bear, as shown in a museum of extinct animals, it stood on 2 legs and walked bipedal any of the smaller short faced bears live in trees like Coalas and there was / is a giant variety that has overly long legs especially the front feet with really long claws for climbing I assume, it has hands much like a racoon for grasping and it climbs trees, as a person who claims to have seen what they thought was a dogman in a tree, it scared the life out of them, and a girl playing in her tree house also saw it up in the tree looking at them it used it's clawed hand to climb and hang on to the branches. it walks upright and runs also bipedal. the skeleton had those features described by eye wittnesses to these strange sightings. it is furred all over but it's body sort of looks like a man but the hind legs are like a canine this is the exact anatomy of the giant short faced bear from the museum of extinct animals. so as far as I'm concerned the giant short faced bear is alive, well and thriving. So people need to look outside the sudeo scientific box that has been built around us by narrow minded so called scientists, who poo poo anyone who steps even a micro inch out of the lines they in their powerful little clique have placed in front of us. well I for one will step outside every time, I'm convinced they know of the existence of these and other not extinct creatures but to keep up their carefully scripted evolutionists extinction of species narrative, they have to quash all disent. People ignore these little overly arrogant people who tell you and I what they want us to believe, and warehouse every piece of evidence the contradicts their script. there are still unexplored paces on earth, where as natives who live in near those areas testify of seeing creatures we are told no longer exist, yet they are seen by eye witnesses, and have documented sightings in the last centuries when the news and media were not censored and it was reuteen for reports to come in of creatures we are now told do not exist or went extinct.

Where did you see the dogman in the tree? Well said!

[@silverslug9561]

Honestly thought the same thing while about half way through the video, you know with the skeletal construct similarities. I don’t think they are the same thing though, based off the ways the ears are described as being German shepherd or Doberman like. If you want to see photo evidence of an alleged dogman the best one taken is from a man in Australia he has a KZbin channel too, it’s a very small channel but he has gone back to investigate to see if he can see it again.

[@slayerfan209]

Yes dogmen exist but they are different than the short faced bear. Sasquatches are real also and get larger than people think the do. I’m talking 11-12ft, maybe taller

One of the first things we need to realize is that had the short-faced bear not went extinct it would almost certainly be smaller in size because there are no megafauna to support a predator of that size.

We would have never settled America's if this beast was still around. This animal was one of the most common animals in North America. 12,800 years ago a comet fell in Greenland and wiped 65% of biomass from the North America, South America and Europe Continents. That comet also sunk the Atlantean Homeland and sprung the story of Noah.

@@carldrogo9492Only a fool would think that humans are a “threat” to a planet that has endured what this planet has endured - for BILLIONS of years prior to humans ever even entering the picture. If you think Earth went through unprotected solar storms and cosmic radiation, meteors and asteroids, super storms/hurricanes/tornadoes that lasted for thousands of years, MULTIPLE super volcanoes that were each more devastating than every nuclear bomb combined, disease/sickness, multiple extinction events, ice ages and hot ages galore…. No. Humans aren’t even a speck of a thought of an “interaction” for this planet. We have been here for one fraction of one second of one day relative to the life of the planet. The earth will go on being earth for another 7.5 billion years - 7.49 billion of which will likely not include “humans”. We’ve been here all of 200,000 years on a planet that’s 4.5 billion years old: .004% of the planet’s life has included “humans”. Do you even understand how astronomically insignificant human’s are on the cosmic scale?
