More attention should be accorded to the genus Agriotherium. Honestly i have no precise idea about the range size of Agriotherium but it is for sure a large bear, probably able to reach and even surpass 500kg (Sorkin 2007), with an extremely powerful bite.
The partial mandible presented in the paper is quite impressive.
