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.
