Arctodus, the Short-Faced Bear

(image source: https://paleo-media.fandom.com/wiki/Arctodus)
Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Arctodus, a big, scary bear that would have wiped out humanity had it invented guns first, so thank God it didn’t. From the Late Pleistocene, this 12-foot bear was actually closely related to the modern spectacled bear, which is not the relative I would have expected. I would think it was more related to the one Joaquin Phoenix killed in that Disney cartoon no one remembers. I remember it, at least. It was all right.
