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.

Could be closely resembled to the prehistoric short faced bears.

There's a Natgeo documentary about Arctodus where they reconstructed it resembling a spectacled bear:






The coloration pattern of the short faced bear in the documentary film "Monsters we met" was closer to the brown spectacled bear.






No mask though, this one has its face uniformly colored, and it has a shoulder hump too.
