Nice picture; realistic because the jaguar is cornered. No choice but to go down fighting.

Reply 167. It is interesting to see a short faced bear and jaguar actually interact.

Reply 167. It is interesting to see a short faced bear and jaguar actually interact. In that picture ( typical cat behavior ) the jaguar might ( as seen here ) attempt to bluff the bear with hisses and snarls while slapping with his paws ( slap-and-dodge ). One thing that the big cat will not do is to actually attack the bear. The jaguar will relinquish his kill and retreat.

/\This is because the Arctodus is much larger and heavier than the jaguar too.
This is similar to the way sloth bears drive off leopards.

Especially if the bear is male or a bigger female.

ARCTODUS SIMUS CHASING A YOUNG BISON - beautiful artwork, but not likely realistic. Most authorities agree that Arctodus simus was not likely an active predator who chased down prey. Besides, there were so many predators around, all he had to do was wait for it.

It is not far fetched to say Arctodus sinus lived as a kleptoparasite during its lifetime.

It is not far fetched to say Arctodus sinus lived as a kleptoparasite during its lifetime. True. However, it has been proven through a study of their teeth that Arctodus simus was an omnivore. ( IMO ) as for his meat intake, he was probably a scavenger and a Kleptoparasite. I have little doubt that Arctodus did some hunting too, but did not chase fast running animals. I can visualize him taking down a ground sloth, a giant armadillo, and other large prey which required very little chase.

In the picture above that bear looks like a spectacled bear.
