+ | [[File:Shortfacedbear.jpg|thumb|''Arctodus simus'']]The '''short-faced bear''' is an extinct bear that inhabited [[North Americ]]a during the Pleistocene epoch from about 1.8 Mya until 11,000 years ago. It was the most common early North American bear and was most abundant in [[California]]. There are two recognized species: ''Arctodus pristinus'' and ''Arctodus simus'', with the latter considered one of the largest known terrestrial mammalian carnivores. It has been hypothesized that their extinction coincides with the Younger Dryas period of global cooling. |
