Pleistocene Herbivores and their Predators

[brotherbear]

When we compare the modern beaver to the giant beaver, the modern camel to the giant camel, and the modern bison to the giant bison, then the meaning of the term 'mega-fauna' needs no explanation. The Pleistocene grizzly lived in a lush environment with no shortage of 'meat on the hoof.' Without a doubt, the grizzly hunted and killed often, but likely obtained the majority of his meat by scavenging carrion or by displacing other 'more adequate' predators from a carcass. Reply
