There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Once again, I have been proven wrong. I was seeking the truth; thank you Tigerluver for taking the time. But, this brings up so many questions. Where were did the grizzlies live? I'm sure that many chose the mountains, but the theory of their aggressive nature suggests that many lived on the open prairie. In what type of terrain have fossils been found? And, would you say that these Pleistocene grizzlies were basically in the size range of modern inland grizzlies?
I will add; I'm not too put back because of this. Arctodus simus was a real monster; much bigger even than a Kodiak with a skull that more resembled that of a tiger, complete with bone-crushing jaws. Too much even for the biggest grizzly or any other predator of his time and location.
I will add: along with the grizzly there lived giant wolves, giant jaguars, scimitar cats, saber-toothed cats, giant lions, and giant bears. Among these apex predators, only the grizzly survived the end of the Ice Age.
