What is Ferus Atrox?

Ferus atrox, commonly known as the "giant short-faced bear," is an extinct species of bear that lived during the Pleistocene epoch. It was characterized by its large size, long legs, and a relatively short face compared to modern bears. Fossil evidence suggests that it inhabited North America and was likely a formidable predator and scavenger. Ferus atrox went extinct around 11,000 years ago, possibly due to climate changes and human hunting.
