The Bear That Was As Large As The Allosaurus

Through old studies and numerous paleo media depictions, the Andrewsarchus has gained a reputation of being the undisputed largest mammalian land predator and carnivore ever. However, this is almost 100% not the case, as another lesser known mammal has a much more solid claim to the throne, Arctotherium sometimes known as the giant short faced bear

To put it into perspective, if Arctotherium stood on its hind legs, it could right hook a giraffe in the face. Addendum: at the 2040 kilogram upper estimate, Arcotherium also outweighs a bull giraffe by a small margin, and outweighs a white rhino to boot.

@@kitchengun1175 a bear that big, probably only 1 bone per kick. Your point still stands of course tho. Girraffes can take a WALLOP to the head and sway their necks to absorb huge damage if needed, I doubt a right hook from anything would be enough to put a giraffe down, save a wrecking ball. Only way that bear is getting it's prey without taking way too much damage is if it tackles it's back from behind, which would probably break it's back with a 3,600 lb bear. If not, it could break the neck with a bite from the same angle. But head on? That bear is gonna die, either during the fight itself or from injuries afterwards.

@@troygillis6801My guardians have worked in African Game Lodges my entire life, and I've spent thousands of hours in them. I have seen giraffes, and have touched them, and have been licked by them. My living room has a giraffe skull from a bull who died of natural causes. I have some idea of what I'm talking about. Giraffes can kick and do kick with astonishing force. They are megafauna in their own right and getting kicked by one is a death sentence. The impact force would easily decapitate a human - there are some anecdotes of them doing the same to the far more robust lioness. The right hook would not kill a giraffe. They regularly slam their skulls into other giraffes in truly astonishing intra-species combat. It's horrifically brutal to witness in person. However, giraffes are also hunted by lions, and there are prides who specialise in hunting giraffes. Some use truly ingenious tactics like running the giraffe into rocky, unstable terrain, and causing the giraffe to break its legs in the fissures. I still choose Angustidens. Evicting giant ground sloths - who weigh twice that of a bull giraffe, rear nearly as high, and have knives for hands - is an exceptionally impressive feat. Giant ground sloths pummelled rock into caves. That is an impressive punch to survive. Further, Angustidens has an equally impressive punch. They too had significant intra-species combat, and if it's anything like modern bears, it involves a lot of repeated punches to the head and torso from an animal which can lift hundreds of kilos with each arm. Angustidens isn't going to be killed by giraffe's kicks any sooner that it can kill a giraffe.

Why kick you, when they can spot you're a mile away, and then kick the ground till you're a mile and a half away? A giraffe is no where near as scary to me on a game walk as a water buffalo, or an elephant, or - God forbid - a rhino.

The change in environment is a theory that is expressed as to why all of the large carnivorous mammals went extinct such as the short face bear, smilodon, and dire wolves died out but smaller predators such as gray wolves and grizzlies survived. A belief on how when the likes of woolly mammoths and giant ground sloths disappeared, it made things harder for larger predators to survive as they required larger amounts of meat than gray wolves and grizzlies.

@ChickensAndGardening 2 ай бұрын

Yes, in North America anyway, most of the megafauna went extinct towards the end of the last Ice Age (20KYA). This included woolly camels, native horses, glyptodons, mastodons, mammoths, ground sloths, giant beavers. Roughly around the time that humans entered from Asia and started hunting them to extinction.

The iconic short-faced bear (Arctodus simus), also known as the bulldog bear, is a species of bear that originally inhabited North America during the Pleistocene epoch from about 1.8 Mya until 11,000 years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by what scientists are now duing to bring back the mammoth and has since been reintroduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands of North and south America also including alaska and yellowstone to help boost biodiversity. It is one of the most common North American bears and among the most abundant in California. The short-faced bear is often considered to be one of the largest known terrestrial mammalian carnivores that has ever existed, although the Andrewsarchus is much larger. The short-faced bear can weigh about 900 kg (1 short ton) on average, however, the largest male being around 957 kg (2,110 lb) is not uncommon. When walking on all fours, a shiort-faced bear can stand about 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 m) high at the shoulder, tall enough to look an adult human in the eye. When standing on its back legs, the male short-faced bear can stand up to 12 feet (3.66 m) tall. The short-faced bear is the most carnivorous of all living bears, being able to hunt animals as big as or bigger than itself, making the short-faced bear a brutish predator that overwhelms large mammals with its great physical strength. However, it usually feeds on pigs, peccaries, and other animals smaller than itself, as its limbs, despite being strong, are too gracile for such an attack strategy most of its time. Because its long legs enable it to run at speeds of 50-70 km/h (30-40 mph), it can also hunt by running down herbivores such as wild horses, saiga antelopes, and even prey such as baby mammoths. However, during pursuit of speedy game animals, the bear's sheer physical mass and plantigrade gait is a handicap; brown bears can run at the same speed but quickly tire and cannot keep up a chase for long. The short-faced bear's skeletons do not articulate in a way that would allow for quick turns - an ability required of any predator that survives by chasing down agile prey. It moves in a pacing motion like other living bears, making it built more for endurance than for great speed. The conservation status of the short-faced bear is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts to bring the animal back and return the the short-faced bear's to there wide natural areas.

The very highest mass estimates for Arctotherium angustidens are questionable for several reasons; they came from a limb element that had fractured then healed, leading to the bone being much greater in diameter (which is the relevant parameter for gauging weight in land mammals) than it should have been, and the equation used to calculate the mass of the animal was based on obese brown bears in captive setting rather than individuals with a healthy body weight, so that also led to an overestimate. A. angustidens was more likely around 800kg, smaller than large male northern Arctodus individuals (though still larger than any living bear on average)

Just curious, where can I find more info on the way they estimated the mass?

Interesting comment about mammals versus dinosaurs. I have to admit, I fit that bill before. Only recently have I been talking to my kids about the now extinct mammals with some awe. It’s an entire group I’ve overlooked.

Climate change and human colonization will always spell "extinction" for every species.

Great video! could you please elaborate further on why arctotherium elongated limbs become a hindrance? It puzzles me why is that case.

I would love to see different forms of Andrewsachus could have been and arguments for it. I always thought of it as an Entelodont like animal.

Never heard of the toxodontids. Looking that up next.

Fasolasuchus is considered to be the largest terrestrial non dinosaur carnivore though. That's much more interesting than the category of "since the dinosaurs" in my opinion. To the non dinosaur list you could also put inostrancevia I guess. But in terms of largest mammalian carnivores, daeodon should also be in the discussion with andrewsarchus and arctotherium.

What about _really_ carnivores (hypercarnivore?) Megistotherium's gotta take it right?

@Bandersnatch41 2 ай бұрын

I like how you made this video with that title even. Though just a month ago in your other video you said those terrestrial crocodiles were the largest land carnivores since the time of the dinosaurs.

If you really want to find large predatory mammals you gotta go to sea. The Blue Whale is not only the largest Ocean Mammal alive today, it is also the largest known predatory mammal. No foolin. It eats Krill in huge schools. Krill, for those who don't know, are tiny shrimps. Also, the Sperm Whale is the largest Macropreadatory sea mammal alive today.

That’s just mind boggling

@FroggoDaman 2 ай бұрын

honestly considering it was that heavy and tall, it could probably be a serious predator to elephants given an ambush, and elephants would be very scared to fight something of its size, not knowing whether or not this bear will end its life.

@tatumergo3931 2 ай бұрын

That's probably why elephants of that time period were of equivalent size, power and dimensions.
