Reply 111. I always thought the Arctotherium is bigger than the Arctodus looks like I got it wrong. The strongest bear pound to pound would be Ursus Spalaseus and the weakest pound to pound will be the Agotherium Africanum.

The slow-moving contest: "Biggest of the Biggest Bears" must remain unanswered until when-or-if more fossil evidence can be discovered. At this point, we have three heavyweight contenders: ( 1 ) Ursus ingressus, ( 2 ) Arctotherium angustidens, and ( 3 ) Arctodus simus. All three contenders are larger than the Kodiak bear, the polar bear, Agriotherium africanum, or the classic cave bear. All three contenders are within the weight range of today's largest bovine species. *Note: With more fossil discoveries ( if ever ) Ursus maritimus tyrannus might possibly fall into this contest.

Ursus ingressus, Ursus priscus, and Ursus maritimus tyrannus are all three possible rivals to the two species of giant short-faced bears for the title of Biggest of the Biggest Bears. Simply put; more fossil discoveries must be found before we can know for sure. Of course, I am speaking of weight. No Ursus bear will top the giant short-faced bears in height.

"Ursus Ingressus" by Prehistoric Fauna. Ursus Ingressus - a cave bear the size of a Cape buffalo. Next time you watch a pride of lions stalking a buffalo, remember, that's how big this cave bear was.

If that is anywhere near accurate as far as size comparison goes that is a huge Bear and have to believe any hypothetical collision of these two would end with the Bear being the victor.

Ursus Pricus and Ursus Maritimus Tyranus might be one and the same. The giant short faced bear will definitely be the tallest of all bears.

Reply #117:
Yeah exactly. Difference is the bear is a predator, so just imagine. Same shoulder height, but most likely heavier also, at least at max weights.

How it Monarch the 1750 pounds california grizzly died. Did he died a nature death or was he pitted.

It also hangs on the wall of the California capital building.

IF a classic cave bear were cloned or otherwise brought into our time, and then released on Kodiak Island, how long would it take before a biologist discovered the "different one"? Of course, we cannot be sure that a cave bear had the same type of fur as a brown bear nor sure that they had the same basic color as a brown bear. There might possibly have been something in their appearance that would easily grab your attention.

Still some brown bears have cave bear genes in them.

Still some brown bears have cave bear genes in them. You are correct OldGreenGrolar. In fact, unless I misunderstand, all brown bears possess a certain amount of cave bear genes; perhaps some subspecies more than others.

Since I started in these wild animal forum, the biggest bear ever has went through some changes (in peoples minds). When I first started, the giant North American short-faced bear was the biggest bear ever. A few years later, the giant tyrant polar bear took his place as the biggest bear ever. But, after a year or two, the North American giant short-faced bear regained his throne. But then, a year or two later, here comes the giant South American short-faced bear who usurped the throne as the biggest bear ever. But then, a year or two later, Arctodus simus once again regained his throne. The only other contender today is Ursus Ingressus, the giant cave bear. He was huge! Probably the biggest bear ever of the family Ursidae. However, I don't believe that he will ever take the throne from Arctodus.

brobear I think this is the one you've been waiting for all the time: The biggest bear ever meets the biggest cave bear. Beautifully done. Note: the cave bear pictured was much bigger than 'Bart the Bear'.

In the beautiful artwork above, all are Ursus bears with the exception of Agriotherium. I am curious as to who is truly the biggest of the Ursus bears; is it U. ingressus, U. arctos priscus, or U. (?) tyrannus?
