North America

The **Arctodus Simus**, also known as the **giant short-faced bear**, is an extinct bear species of the genus Arctodus that inhabited North America during the Pleistocene epoch from about 1.8 Mya until 11,000 years ago. It was the most common early North American bear and was most abundant in California. Its one of the two species of the tremarctine bear genus Arctodus, the other one being *Arctodus pristinus*, also known as the **lesser short faced bear**. It has been hypothesized that their extinction coincides with the Younger Dryas period of global cooling commencing around 10,900 BC.

## Description

The giant Short-Faced Bear lived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch and went extinct about 11.000 years ago. It was one of the largest mammalian predators that ever lived, reaching 10.21 meters in length, nearly 13.5 meters at the shoulders and about 13.23 meters when standing on its hind legs. Short-Faced Bears weighed up to one ton. They were mostly scavengers, stealing prey from other carnivores like Sabertooth-Cats, Dire Wolves and American Lions.

## History

### Fight with Woolly Rhino

Note: This contains spoilers

A Woolly Rhino was drinking water, but unknown to it, it invaded the territory of the Short Faced Bear. It roars at the Rhino before it charges at the rock. The Rhino clashes with the rock and as the bear tries to slash it, the Rhino was able to break free. The Short Faced bear was able to jump off and faced it's opponent. As the Woolly Rhino charges, Short Faced Bear was able to get a grip on it before biting the back.

Woolly Rhino was able to break free before ramming the bear. When the Woolly Rhino charges, the Bear uses the log to knock it down. Before it can slash the Rhino, it breaks free again and slashes the belly with it's horn. Running away, the bear follows it and was able to gain upon it and knock it down. With the Woolly Rhino in the river, the Short Faced Bear lands a killing bite at the neck. Roaring in victory, it leaves the area.

### Fight with Woolly Mammoth

A different individual was seen eating it's prey. Before seeing another bear wandering by. The mammoth looks at the bear before walking off. The bear decided to go in front of it and try to lift it, but it's too heavy so the mammoth just pushes it aside to a tree, causing it to get knocked down. Once regaining consciousness, the bear follows the mammoth and attacks it. The Mammot panics and slams down tree before throwing the bear off. The mammoth charges at the bear, but it dodges but the mammoth thinks fast and the tusk slams into the back of the bear.

Knocking it down, after the bear gets up it runs to the trees, with the mammoth following it. Then the mammoth gets stuck between two trees, before getting it's trunk on the Bear's leg and slamming it to a rock. It slams the bear on the ground several times before a bear slams the rock on the Mammoth face. Moving back, the mammoth breaks one of the trees and attacks the bear. The trunk pushes the bear off the cliff and causing it to land on water. It's unknown what happened to the bear.

### Fight with Smilodon

The episode begins with the flashback from the Woolly Mammoth fight, with the bear's first-person view. Then, during the water scene, it bumps into rocks before getting knocked out. It cuts to the shoreline of the river, with the Arctodus barely surviving. As it walks to the new land, trying to find its way back up there. A Smilodon sees the intruder and jumps in front of it. It roars and the Short-faced Bear seems not to be bothered. Not before a second one arrives (Possibly mate or sibling), walks up from behind. The giant bear looks to both enemies. The other Smilodon charges but gets kicked. Pissed off, the other Smilodon charges but gets swiped at the face before hitting the ground hard. Not before they both got up and fled towards the bushes. Confused the Short Faced Bear, looks around and after hearing a sound, nothing was behind it. It was revealed one of them climbed a tree. The Smilodon jumps off and attacks the leg of the massive Short Faced Bear. Now out in the open, the Smilodon was about to get killed but the other one bites the shoulder and knocks the bear to the ground.

The two cats stared down the bear before attacking, by slashing it. They attacked again but Arctodus slams one's head to the ground, killing it. The other attacks and they both rolled. It shows the cat lands the killing blow on the throat and walks off from the corpse. Smilodon senses its brother to see if it's still alive, but it wasn't and lets a roar, mourning over the death of its brother.

### Fight with Ankylosaurus

The two Arctodus Simus rolled in the savannah. The male attemps to slash at the female, but he missed. The female kicks him on the ground she then stands up. They both stared at each other, they let out a roar as they charged and wrestled them until a portal appears and an Ankylosaurus came out, jumping out of the portal. The Ankylosaurus trampled the piece of bone on the ground as the fight stopped as the Arctodus quickly saw Ankylosaurus, who was lifting one foot. Both bears stand on their hindlegs then they roar and run towards the Ankylosaurus on all fours. The Ankylosaurus notices them as the bears jump toward it but the dinosaur retaliates by swinging its club at them which knocks the bears back. The Ankylosaurus swings at them again but the bears dodge the attack and the Ankylosaurus is now in between the bears. Both Arctodus walk towards the Ankylosaurus as the stand on their hind legs, and the Ankylosaurus tries to hit the female with its club but the male manages to grab it. The Ankylosaurus tries to shake the bear off, but the female bear smacks into it and pushes the dinosaur aside. The Ankylosaurus bellows and runs towards the pair, it jumps and curls itself into a ball and begins rolling towards the bears. The bears jump out of the way as the dinosaur continues rolling, it then rolls back towards the female Arctodus. The female Arctodus uses its paws and stops the rolling Ankylosaurus for a few moments before it gets pushed to the ground. The Ankylosaurus rolls forward then takes a turn and rolls towards the female, only for the male to jump into place and stops the rolling dinosaur with his paws. The female helps him out, stopping the dinosaur in place as it keeps rolling, then the male Arctodus uses its right paw and claws at the Ankylosaurus' side which frees it from its curl and causes it to launch into the air. The female Arctodus gets on the male's back and jumps toward the dinosaur and smacks it in the face with its right paw. The Ankylosaurus falls to the ground and the bears jump towards it. As the Ankylosaurus gets back up, the male Arctodus grabs it by the tail while the female Arctodus grabs the dinosaur into a headlock position. The Ankylosaurus tries to free itself as both bears are restraining it. Finally, the female Arctodus uses its strength and manages to snap the Ankylosaurus' neck, killing the dinosaur instantly. Both bears have won the fight and they let go on their foes' lifeless body. They soon stare at one another and get back into fighting each other just like in the biggening as the male leaps towards the female and the battle ends.

### Fight with Titanoboa

The Titanoboa was holding a Macrauchenia but the arctodus simuses bumped into him. Then the arctodus simuses bumped into themselves. But the two arctodus simuses again started fighting. Arctodus 1 threw arctodus 2 into the titanoboa. Arctodus 2 hit the arctodus 1 in head. The titanoboa wanted to hit them but they dodged. They both threw each other. Arctodus 2 kicked arctodus 1 into the titanoboa. Titanoboa waked up and hit arctodus 2. Titanoboa coiled around the bear and threw him. Then he attacked arctodus 1. The bears were now serious about the snake. The titanoboa tried to attack them but they dodged. Titanoboa tried to attack arctodus 1 but he was opening and closing the snake's mouth. Arctodus 2 tried to attack Titanoboa but he dodged. Arctodus 1 kicked the other towards Titanoboa and the bear holded the snake. Titanoboa attacked arctodus 1. He hit the arctodus 2 to the ground 3 times. Then he hit the bear on the other. Arctodus 2 opens and closes the snake's mouth. Arctodus 1 hit him. He now threw the arctodus 1 away. Arctodus 2 held the snake's tail. The snake threw him to the ground. Arctodus 1 crashed the snake's head with a rock. The snake threw him to the ground. But Titanoboa didn't win. It probably was a draw

### Fight with Edmontonia

Before the battle, there is a flashback which shows the Arctodus Simus duo getting knocked out by Titanoboa (during Titanoboa vs Arctodus Simus). The duo wake up and charge at each other. The two bears roll through many places (snowy forest, dark canyon and savannah respectively) and make their way through the top of a gorge.

Two Edmontonias (pink and teal) are walking near the edge of the gorge. The pink one sees the two bears and stand up on its hind legs. In the process of that the teal Edmontonia falls off the cliff. This event causes the Edmontonia vs Acrocanthosaurus fight. The Arctodus simus pair start wrestling. Edmontonia walks up to the pair and tries to smack them with its tail, but the pair dodge the attack.

The bears jump towards the Edmontonia who tries to attack the pair with its tail but the pair dodges its attack. The pair is on either side of Edmontonia at this point, and they both start walking towards it. The pair jumps towards the Edmontonia attempting to attack its face with their hands, but Edmontonia jumps right up in the air, does a backflip and lands on its front legs hoping to crush the pair, but they backflip partially and hold themselves up with their hands. They launch themselves at the dinosaur and kick it in the side and it collapses. The pair then slashes at its side with their claws. The Edmontonia roars in agony and collapses.

One Arctodus simus picks Edmontonia's leg and tries to take the dinosaur away but to its dismay the other Arctodus is trying to take it away by its tail. The two engage in a tug-of-war but the Edmontonia wakes up and slams the pair together. Edmontonia then jumps towards the pair but one of them jumps and the other wrestles the dinosaur. It jumps and kicks Edmontonia's neck and the dinosaur is standing on its hind legs losing its balance. The other Arctodus in the air falls down, cups its hands and slams Edmontonia hard on the ground. Edmontonia roars in pain and collapses, dead. The two bears look at each other and start wrestling with their heads.

### Fight with Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus

After killing the Pink Edmontonia in Edmontonia VS Arctodus simus, the Arctodus simus duo started to fight again and ended up rolling from the top of the Ravine to the Volcano , the 2 bears ended up bumping into the T-Rex's leg (the T-Rex from the T-Rex VS Spinosaurus match), as the duo started to get up, the dinosaur starts to look at both of them, as the duo sees the T-Rex, the big dinosaur starts charging at them, but the T-Rex was actually charging at the Spinosaurus who somehow survived getting crashed by the meteor in T-Rex Vs Spinosaurus, they both start to fight and the Arctodus simuses watch them battle each other, the T-Rex trips the Spino and the spinosaurid fell on the floor and dodged T-Rex's tail attack, the Spino roars and runs at the T-Rex and bit the neck of the tyrant lizard king and the 2 dinos start rolling, The Arctodus Simus duo dodged the attack and then the T-Rex and Spino stop rolling. The bear with the scar on the chest climbs onto the T-Rex while the bear with a scar on the face climbs onto the Spino. The T-Rex roars and rushes at the Spino and the Spino does the same. The dinosaurs have the brawl of the century. A minute later, a portal is forming and the Spino slashes the Rex. The two bears fall and look at the portal. The T-Rex bites the Spinosaurus' arm and the two roll. The Arctodus, T-Rex, and Spinosaurus all go into the portal and then they fall as they are in the Pitch Black Galaxy.
