Arctodus

BearThe short-faced bear (Arctodus) is an extinct bear genus that inhabited North America during the Pleistocene epoch from about 1.8 million years ago until 11,000 years ago. The giant short-faced bear is one of the largest known terrestrial mammalian carnivores that has ever existed. This incredible bear stood 12 feet tall on its hind legs and could run 40 miles per hour despite weighing over 1500 pounds. Based on the chemical ratios, it is estimated that seals made up 16%-22% of the Arctodus’ diet, while bison and/or camel made up the rest. Truly a terrifying creature.

But like all bears, it went extinct. Stonks only go up. GME TO THE FUCKING MOON BABY!!!!

When I saw the title I had a feeling. Well said.

But like all bears, it went extinct. 

Sorry you didn’t get the memo, but all bears aren’t currently extinct.
