Description
A Picture I took in October of the skeleton of a Short-faced Bear Arctodus at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto. The Short Faced Bear was the largest predator of the ice age, standing close to 11 feet when it reared up on 2 feet. This vicious predator died out at the end of the Ice Age when its prey, the American Mega Fauna, went extinct and it had to compete with early humans.
In front of it are skulls of both modern and giant ice age equivalents of an alligator and a lion, as well as an ice age bison.
