Tyrannosaurus rex ( IMO ) was and still is "King of the Dinosaurs". According to most paleontologists, he was an active predator; others say scavenger. ( IMO ) T-rex was a part-time predator, part-time scavenger, and a full-time kleptoparasite just like a grizzly. When you are the strongest predator within your domain, you don't have to be a hit-man. You are the godfather; the mob boss. You take what you want.

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus was probably a fish-eater who also fed upon smaller animals and carrion. He was probably on the prey list of Carcharodontosaurus. The giant short-faced bears were the "T-rex" of their world.

Posted by Spalea: The Pleistocene undoubtely, appears to have been a golden Age concerning the great mammals. Among them the American buffalos: 1) bison latifrons. Length: 3,40 m, Height: 2,50 m, weight: 2000 kilos North America.

No way Simus would had been able to take down such a monster of a bison, much more knowing that he had bad grappling skills because of his long slender legs. I think in the recreation above they just cross paths and the bison just wanted to get away obviously.

/\Agreed. Sometimes buffalo even move out of the way when cheetahs arrive but this doesn’t mean it would become prey for the latter.

In my opinion the SF bear was a kleptoparasite omnivore and an occasional meat eater like modern bears because no land predator is a pure scavenger.

All carnivores are both scavengers and predators. Lions frequently scavenge preys hunted by hyenas for example. No King Kodiak, large males short faced bears had a chance to kill an adult bison lafitrons, it's a matter of technique, not power. Slender legs for Arctodus? It is an old myth. Its bones are among the largest among bears and are often the largest!

/\ No disagreements but have you actual proof the SF bear legs aren't slender?

Bone measurements in scientific litterature show us that their leg bones were longer and wider than any brown bear bones... Large males weighted more than 1000kg. Do you imagine such a large carnivor with thin legs? It's ridiculous. Another interesting fact: their skulls were more robust than any living bears...

Do you believe a SF bear can kill a mammoth?

Proboscideans are the largest terrestrial mammals to have ever lived. An adult mammoth in good health with a large mass ( > 6000kg ) has virtually no predators. Predators always target weak individuals.

Do you believe a SF bear can kill a mammoth? Nope unless the mammoth is a calf. Even a juvenile at 2 tonnes and above proves to be a tough challenge.

No, a juvenile at 2 tonnes is a legitime target prey for a large adult short faced bear. Juvenile animals are not good to defend themselves. Only adults are really safe.
