You're right. The short face gave a greater bite force allowing it to crush bone and toe be able to fight off other animals that had made the kill so they could take it away. It had an excellent smell, so it could smell a kill far away and then run swiftly on its long legs to exploit the situation. It must have been a magnificent creature to behold.
Why did they and so many other animals die off around 11,000 years ago? That's just 6,500 years before the pyramids were built.
It must have been an absolutely terrifying animal to behold. Anyone who saw this coming at them would definitely shit themselves.
@@denizmetint.462 there is a theory about a comet striking the laurentide I e sheet and basically melting it over night, right at 12,700 years ago and another at 11,000 years ago......lots of evidence for it
So in other words they’re face we’re like a bulldog or pit bull with short muzzle lock jaws
@@denizmetint.462 Probably the Younger Dryas extinction event
I heard speculation that one reason Grizzlies are somewhat shy and easily spooked is they lived with and feared the short faced bears.
Nope . They are shy and spooked because of us. Yes the short faced bear is scary . But humans are deadly and show no mercy.
Amazingly there's new talk and research to show that they are now starting to think that it was infact the brown bear 🐻 that's responsible for causing the downfall of the short faced bear 🐻 . It's smaller size playing to its advantage! By being smaller it required less food. It was faster and more manoeuvrable, enabling it to reach carcasses faster than the short faced bear 🐻. On the occasions the brown bear 🐻 hunted, the odds of it being more successful than the short faced bear 🐻 were much higher due to the advantages the brown bear had by being faster and able to change direction far quicker to his furry counterpart!
Hope this is helpful or at least gives you something to ponder over,
Merry Christmas and wishing you happiness, health and wealth for the New Year 🎅
@@valenwood6299yea because a bear is just gonna think "well do I have to rip this guy apart and see what's in his organs 🎉"
@rylin_west ????? Mate. They shy and spooked because we were destroying them..... we definitely wiped the short faced bear off the face of the planet..... the short faced bear had no enemies besides us..... no lil one... humans are 10000000x more scarier and deadly . Mate do you not realize we are big daddy? Aka we are the apex predator for the last 200 thousand years.......
Do any of these speculators and talkers consider HOW an animal that died out thousands of years ago could affect the behaviour of modern grizzlies? Do Mummy bears tell bedtime stories to their cubs, warning them of the dangers of short-faced bears? Do me a favour!
Imagine you and your family were walking from Asia and you ran into one of these...after dodging packs of beefy, cave hyenas; quite a conundrum.

I’m proud that I could pick out that subtle Skyrim music in the background, good video!
Well the shows you are a true skyrim player! Thanks for watching!
I used to not believe in evolution like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee
@@CalebBlock lol
I'm shocked that you're literally proud of that.
@@hulkmeister23 lol I know right. Its a pretty popular game series
Short faces bears were essentially a super scavenger. They had a short face because it was more effective for crushing bones to get at the nutritious marrow
So in other words they’re face we’re like a bulldog or pit bull with short muzzle lock jaws
I love how you use Skyrim music in this video, when it seems like one of my primary activities in Skyrim is killing bears who randomly attack me. ^_^
Biographies on Godzilla-sized bears, with Skyrim sounds and Joe Rogan's perspective - that's a win/win/win in my book.
The sagittal crest for muscle attachment and the zygomatic arch on the skull at 2:33 really give an impression of how huge the masticatory muscles must have been and the potential bite force of these incredible animals.
Is that skyrim music in the background, loves it
Yep! Thanks for watching!
if you seen a short-faced bear out in the woods you`d crap yourself so much
I wonder how early humans felt about these large species of bears,it must be intimidating.
I bet, I would not want to come face to face with one of these behemoths. Thanks for watching and I hope your subscribe for more!
NORTH 02 I’ve been subscribed since this channel was created :)
The Draco King oh yeah you changed your profile pic didn’t you?
NORTH 02 yea I kinda made my older and I decided to make a new one,a more goofy look.
"Must be"? Dude do you see the size of that thing? I'd freeze in fear and probably except death. 3 times the size of a grizzly just baffles me. Hard to even comprehend some of the animals that used to exist. It's fascinating
I appreciate you admitting your similarities to establish channels as well as you inviting people to check them out 😍
If these short faced bears ever ate fallen fermented fruit, they became the shit-faced bears.
Clever, sounds like a new Twilight zone episode.... Thanks for watching!
Haha
I've finally gotten around to watching this video! It's as good as all your others, North!
I’m a new subscriber, I love trey too, I’ve been binging your videos “ ancient animals” very impressed! Love you
Hey lad. Not sure if you’ll see this comment, but I found your channel in the past year and it’s so awesome to see the quality of your new videos and how they’ve evolved. Your detail has been the same since day one obviously.
I stumbled across the short faced bear and looked at a couple other videos and yours if by far the most informative including videos that are made a year or two after this one.
Anyway, love your content keep going strong
Your videos keep getting better. Keep up the good work. Like the length of your videos and they are packed with information.
I think that it is Spectacled
as in eye glasses (spectacles) rather then speckeled and there seems to be _speculation_ about the short face thing but yeah cool bear.
This animal has been talked about in a lot of documentaries like monsters we meet/land of lost monsters prehistoric predators etc. they talk about the South American counterpart Someday
lol I have seen them all, thats why I like this animal so much!
The one documentary that the dead wrong about the short face bear was Jurassic fight club It said that on four legs it was 12 feet tall at the shoulder that’s way too big
Hi North, really love your work, it's interesting, enjoyable and I've gained knowledge myself through your presentations.
I'm currently working through your videos, and I'm trying to do it in order but when UA-cam throw them out randomly I find it almost impossible to resist opening them!!!
Also from starting at the beginning of your videos. I have become aware of the journey that you yourself are on - in terms of you gaining experience with each video, your confidence and delivery of the videos, the content and your ever growing family of subscribers!! I think that you're progress is just going from strength to strength and you should be proud of your achievement!
That was really interesting. Go in please!
Now this video I like the best so far on this animal. Much more informative. Keep up the good work I'm glad I subscribe to this channel till I make my own and I'll still watch your videos
I am a huge fan of the husband and wife authors W.Michael Gear and Kathleen Gear. They an incredible Native American book series. They make references to the short faced bear and the dire wolf quite often.
This shows that neither animal died out that long ago
I seriously thought I had skyrim playing on my pC XD. Subbed to your channel. THis stuff is very interesting.
Lol that funny, Thanks for watching I have a bunch of other videos like that one!
Love your ancient animals series bc my son loves watching then with me. Def a better choice then the video game walk thrus he likes so much (for games he doesn't play🙃)
Great video, thanks for sharing
I'm pretty newbie but, I'm loving your channel. I used to be into video games a lot. But, now where I'm living I need to change my name to Old fossil hunter chick 😆. I'm in my mid 60s so I have a lot of catching up to do. Being in the South Central Texas area I have found so many Cretaceous fossils it's great fun. Dig a little hole anywhere
on the property and your gonna find some thing cool. My main trouble is the I find real great stuff that has been chewed on 😆. Anyway thanks for your videos. Maybe I can ID some of the rocks I find. Ms Michal
🙃☕💖💖🐚💎🇺🇸
This video was so interesting and well done!
"What the F* am I doing here?" Had me in stitches! Still, it is a good point. Seeing one of these bears back in the day would have been like encountering a legendary monster.
I love when You put the Skyrim bso to the prehistoric mamals videos
It somehow seems perfect for these videos
So short faced bears have been recovered here in southeast Alaska on prince of Wales island!😳
I'm watching your old videos, and am pretty impressed! Trying to add a comment to each one to boost them and appease the Almighty Algorithm! 😁😄
Probably a good thing these things went extinct. The ones we have are endangered enough, and endanger us enough, as it is.
The freaking raccoons they're related to (relationship tree shown at the beginning) could go extinct, too, IMO. I detest the little _bleeping bleeps!_
So good, I just found these
Great video keep up the great work
Thanks, I will!
Imagine domesticating and riding one of those into battle
It would suck. They are awful runners and can't even take turns lmao.
Awesome video dude :)
Thanks for watching!
With the longer limbs and shorter snout and flat out huge size they would make a better candidate for being mistaken as bigfoot than a regular brown or black bear.
Good job mate. Loved the details and especially independent hypothesis as to why the face was short. Subscribed
Yeah thanks for watching! I feel like it is a reasonable hypothesis but more research might help.
So in other words they’re face we’re like a bulldog or pit bull with short muzzle lock jaws
Great video!
Thanks!
much better information in this video, with lots of factual evidence (such as phylogeny) to support the Ursidae family tree.
Im glad you can appreciate my work!
That skyrim soundtrack is so relaxing
Also depends what grizzly your talking about. The inland grizzly averages 600 pounds but the coastal grizzlies are allot bigger. It was about 900-1,200 pounds average size and has a whopping 1,500 pounds maxed.
Dizzy Rose the has only been on grizzly bear know to be that big and most are much smaller, the point I was making was that it was huge.
Joe Rogan, so funny~ Love the take
i wish trey still did paleontology content
Yeah but I still love his anthropology content, he is prolly my favorite channel and hopefully I can collaborate with him sometime.
@@NORTH02 how dıd arctotherium was 4500 pounds ıt looks a bıt sketchy
Great content
Good vid!
Cool video!
Thanks I am glad you like it! I hope you subscribe for more weekly content!
Spectacled Bear, not Speckled Bear. They're named for the pattern on their face that looks like glasses or spectacles
Yeah I realized I said it wrong in the video so I put the corrected word in the video, I hope you subscribe for more weekly content!
Love the sky r music
Thanks man!
A super scavenger, like the trex or the daeodon. Of course, a lot of these animals were also built to hunt.
The theropoda was a titan and some argue that it was too slow to hunt, but it was a theropoda so its stamina was better then y ours thanks to airsacs, and with its massive powerful nostrils you had no where to hide unless you climb
Thanks for watching!
No terrestrial tetrapod is a pure scavenger
The Scavenger theory has already debunked
@@jross9553yeah
Okay hear me out... A lot of the megalithic structures are now thought to be older than 12,000 years ago. The animals that lived at this time were all massive and no one knows how those big blocks were moved miles to their build sites. What if the people from this time domesticated some of the giant animals and used them to move stones?
Remember we base everything off fossil evidencr even tho 99.99999% of all fossils never made it to today. So we really know very little. So id say ur assumption is just as possible as anything. If u can train bears and elephants today why not short face bears or mammoths
@@DEADG6D exactly. Who knows… a couple mammoths could move a ton
There are no megalithic man-made structures from 12,000 years ago, what on Earth are you talking about here? Where did you read this "fact" that most of them are over 12,000 years old? The most advanced structure made by humans 12,000 years ago is in Turkey and it's a temple.
The great pyramids of Giza were built some 4.700 years ago. The pyramids were 8,000 years in the future for the humans living 12,000 years ago.
That being said you should probably watch 10,000BC because that movie has the same dumb and unscientific idea that you had.
@@dandrechesterfield5411 A couple of Mammoths could move a ton, but so could 50 humans. We already know how the Egyptians moved those huge blocks, they used man-power and used water in front of the stone blocks to make the ground wet and make it easier to move the blocks.
Not to mention at the time the great pyramids were being built, Mammoths were mostly extinct and only a small group of them were alive on a island.
@@DEADG6D "99.99999% of all fossils never made it to today."
It's actually more like 1% and not 0.00001%
And for the building of what structure are you actually referring to? Because 12,000 years ago humans were not building mega-structures. The most advanced being a temple in Turkey.
It is highly highly unlikely that humans 12,000 years ago could domesticate giants such as Mammoths. And it is basically impossible for them to domesticate short faced bears or any type of large predator.
"If u can train bears and elephants today why not short face bears or mammoths"
Because training a caged bear to do certain tasks is very different to training one twice it's size in an open environment and only using primitive spears and sticks.
That elder scrolls music is great haha
Which Rogan episode is your clip from?
Short faced bear have almost the same proportions of skull like modern brown bear - his 'shortface' is optical illusion becouse his body was shorter then 'normal bears' and had really long legs so skull looks relatively short but in fact it wasnt.

And I don’t know why I found this funny 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Damn bear, Yoo scerry.
Why are some of the images blurred out? Great informative video none the less.
It's bite was like bolt cutters. A lot of leverage.
The 'speckled' bear is actually the spectacled bear.
A 4500lb Bear !!! That's a frickin' Hippo !!!!!
During it's time this has got to be the most feared animal in N.America. I can't imagine what it would be like to come across it in the wild...I'd feel a lot better if I had a Wetherby high powered rifle with me..that's an elephant weapon of immense kill power. If I had no weapon I would probably just try to stand as still as possible and/ or step backwards very slowly or lay down and hide if at a long distance from it, yet it's sense of smell would maybe detect me...depending on wind direction. Bears have some of the keenest sense of smell known. Playing dead is what experts say and never ever!.....make direct eye contact with it...they say if you do all bears take that as a sign of a threat to them and they will respond. I cannot imagine playing dead around it with it sniffing me all over. The nerve that would take without panicking would be incredible, yet with life on line we do what we have to do.....Bear Spray on this monster??......I would not trust it with this species...too wild and just too much kill spirited probably. Just the intake of lbs of meat it would require to live would be incredible. Any other animals would never get any where near it. It probably scavenged often like most bears and any animal over it's kill would leave except for maybe the N American lion which would unwisely hold it's ground the first time around and not after if it lived from a previous encounter with this bear. I have read in other articles---the predicted speed of this bear is incredible...it simply had it all for a carnivore of it's era. A friend of mine thinks the "Terror Bird" was so very dangeous as well and would put up a good offense vs this bear.....🤣.....one swipe of this bear's paw 👀 would be all that was needed as the head of this bird would be laying at it's feet!......Thanks for all of your videos...they are smartly crafted and well scripted....now I'm going out in back for some more firewood ( I live very near and next to a forest ).....after viewing this I'm a little nervous 😳.
Wasn't it bad at making sharp turns right?
It didn’t have counter balance (tail) so yes
@@NORTH02 Lynxes family dont have that{tails} either, nor the current days bears. It was not after animals making sharp turns anyway, plus those enormous front legs would mitigate this problem if there was one easy.
@@louiechidwick6034 so would they have to hunt big bulky prey, like bison? I'm sure their big size helped them take large feline and canids kills.
I've gone to several natural history museums, recently to dc and Dallas, Just by looking at skeletal reconstructions I'm pretty certain cave bears didn't mess with ground sloths. Aside from bison idk what else these bears could have caught themselves in their habitat.
@@louiechidwick6034 so they had chicken legs
Some say it didn’t have a short face and it’s large size dwarfed it
Others say it is used to help Crush bones.
I wish I could have a Short Faced Bear.
4,500lbs?! Oh my damn
THANK YOU for arguing this animal was an omnivore, not a specialist predator or scavenger.
Though that raises questions to why it went extinct, given that it should have been adaptable enough to survive either human colonization or major climatic changes.
Yeah lol thanks for appreciating it, I watched some documentary a long time ago that said it was a specialist predator and I though this until I did some research.
I think they went extinct for the same reason all the other North America mega fauna died. This reason is not completely figured out yet but I haven’t done a lot of research.
NORTH 02
It would make sense for this bear to go extinct from the same general cause as the other megafauna, but its adaptability should have given it some protection against human beings and even more so against climatic changes, which are the two most likely answers to that question. It’s one of the most frustrating extinctions to puzzle out.
The best sources for this topic are probably scientific papers that have been published online. For books, The End of the Megafauna is a decent read that covers the problems with both climatic change and humans as a general cause of megafauna collapse.
Yup
@@bkjeong4302 Add into the equation this animals large size. Being that big required a lot of calories. Grasslands in S. America are mostly gone, and this animal was def. not a pute herbivore, it needed meat.
Being big gives you temporary success but in the long haul it is a recipe for extinction, especially if you require meat in your diet.
I say figuring out why wild horses went extinct in north is a far bigger puzzle then this behemoth
In.
Real life brother bear
Take a drink every time he says Short faced bear
"I used to be a short face bear, but then I took an arrow to the knee"
Some how hilarious that you found decent info on something, anything from Joe Rogan 🤣
@3:28 this bear look like scooby doo
lol kinda does
I would love to have 1 as a pet
Try breaking into my house and seeing that thing running at you😳😳😕😕
Edit: Did he just say these things grow 4500 pounds?
That's bigger than a truck
The south american short faced bear could have grown to that size .
Your videos are a armchair paleontologists treasure trove
Hey,, hope that you don't mind the observation but it's actually a "SPECTACLED BEAR" not a "SPECKLED BEAR"!
Anyway loving the videos still, so please don't think about stopping any time soon 😀
Short faced bears are Omnivores, they ate grass, fruit and animal carcasses.
they also eat berries
They also ate live animals
However it’s not as hyper omnivorous as the grizzly
@@tyrannotherium7873 yeah it could be slightly carnivorous
Could you do Mega Lion vs Short Faces Hyena. Please I love the Mega Lion.
I look into it. sorry it took so long to get back to you...
@@NORTH02 did you make it yet ???
monster sized bears do exist once
4500 lbs he was know bear, he was a monster. Even the kodiak, brown and grizzly bear would cross the street if the short faced was coming there way.
Wasn't expecting the f word in this video
the short face may come from feeding on bones
In the presence of smilodon.....arctodis was just another food item...
lol the short faced bear was untouchable back then.... it was the apex predator of it's time.
I feel sorry for the Prey in South America back then.
I’ll take a pride of American lion’s any day!
A ton
4:46 Its a cave bear skeleton!
yeah lol your right it came up when I was searching it so I didn't notice until now my bad.
NORTH 02 no problem, man! Every body mistakes! It a normal thing!
Some people think that short faced bears are still alive today. 😬
2:45 they most likely had a larger chest than that.
19:02.
If only ancient humans knew better about the environment & natives fauna they affected for colonization. Then we still have some species today.
Spectacles...another word for optical correction device (glasses)...It is the SPECTACLED bear...looks like he's wearing spectacles in hair pattern around the eyes...NOT speckled as in bird's egg...my laugh for today, Master
3:25 looks like Scooby Doo
He's right, North America must've really really sucked for humans at first lmao
Very interesting.... but you might want to talk even faster
The avg. weight of a grizzly is 600lbs.? Are you high?
Is this the Skyrim soundtrack? Lol
The short faced bear didn’t actually have a short face. Its head was just disproportionate compared to its relatively long legs.
I heard that there is some species of short face bear that used to live in Africa
Yeh called Argithotheriun
Well Ryan yes because there 2 bear species in Africa Argithotherium and Atlas Bear
Could Arctotherium or Arctodus take down a giant ground sloth? Say like Megatherium or Eremotherium sized?
Hard to say, Arctotherium weighed like 3500 pounds if I remember correctly and megatherium weighed 7500. I dont know much about megatherium but I heard it had bony plates in it skin or something. Either way I think its pure size would let it fend off the attack long enough to get away. Thanks for watching!
NORTH 02 Ya just found your channel it’s awesome. For a vs battle you should do Megistotherium vs Ampicyhon or Dinoyhus vs Arctodus.
No, Arctodus was the size of a Kodiak Bear, but weaker, and Arctotherium could barely surpass a Grizzly Bear. A Megatherium will crush both at once
@@superitaly7645 At leats both of them can crush 2 Cave Bears at once.
Well Today Bears kills Prey bigger than Themselves imagine a Prehistoric Bear killing his prey. But Megatherium haven't natural enemies maybe the Megalonyx would ghet preyed
