Short-Faced Bear Skull BC-114 $550.00 Order This / View Your Cart Arctodus simus (Cope-1897), which is more closely related to the Andean Bears, Tremarctos than to Ursus, have been found in several locations from Mexico to Alaska. Those specimens from Alaska, known as Arctodus simus yukonensis, are typically more robust than those specimens found in more southern latitudes. These bears were extremely large and weight estimates have been in excess of 1300 lbs. Notably, their limbs were very long and would have dwarfed both the modern Kodiak bear along with the Pleistocene European cave bear. This specimen was approximately five feet at the hip and stood about 12 feet tall. This specimen died approx. 28,000 years ago. Arctodus simus became extinct 10-12,000 years ago. We are grateful to the Babiarz Institute of Paleontological Studies for the opportunity to cast this individual. Upper canines removable, as shown in the insert. A stand, S-BC-114, shown here with the skull, is available for an additional $45.00. See related products below.
