"Nah that giant bear that is confirmed to be omnivorous definitely only scavanges. Its too big and bulky to hunt prey." Where have i heard that before? *looks at T-Rex*
@@stickboianimations2273 What do you mean "most likely hunted when it could"? T-rex is the most powerful and dangerous terrestrial land predator of all time.
A bear like that would have to be very careful, because hippopotamus’s are extremely dangerous like the male’s, who are very pugnacious and aggressive.
Saying guns let you hunt bears "without risk" is a massive overstatement. Even today, with vastly superior firearms technology, hunting bears is extremely dangerous.
Yeah people forget even regular old Deer Hunting can be dangerous even with the guns. Mad people got maimed or killed by the antlers on a Buck doing a death wail thinking they were dead all the way.

We need an animated movie called “The Bear King” where a father bear is overthrown by a jealous lion who wants to be King of the Beasts. Only for the bear’s son to return to Africa and go full John Wick on the lion.
The Atlas bear was another bear native to Africa and because the Atlas bear was closely related to European bears there have been many plans to reintroduce the bears to the Atlas mountains
The Atlas Bear being there remind me of the origin of the Ethiopian Wolf, which is a/related to the Grey Wolf that somehow found its way to Africa, similar to the bear.

Australia doesn't have bears either. Indeed, the Carnivora aren't represented here at all as none made it across the Wallace Line. Their niche was occupied by carnivorous marsupials like the Thylacoleo, Thylacine, Tasmanian Devil, etc..
@@edmondantes4338 it’s been considered a native species for a while now as even the most agreed upon arrival of 5,000 years is old enough for them to be considered native, as for the origins of their arrival, that is still a challenged theory today. We have fossils from about 5,000 years that’s true but Australia does not have great conditions for fossil preservation, so let’s look at some other proof, mitochondrial DNA tests suggests their separation from dogs and/or wolves around 8,500 years ago and rock art of canines have been seen which could date back to 30,000 years. As to how they got there is again still debated but some other theories suggest that they walked to Australia from Papua New Guinea as a land bridge opened up between them between 6,000 and 8,500 years ago, it could have also been brought over by the first humans that came to Australia 30,000-50,000 years ago. Dingoes are a very important apex predator that Australia might have greatly needed for thousands of years (Even the thylacine is now actually considered to have only had jaws strong enough to kill possum sized animals or smaller, meaning they most likely had a much more fox-like niche). Dingoes greatly contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem, not only by keeping the population of native species down but also because they target and keep the numbers of true invasive species down, they go after anything from rabbits, cats, and foxes to even feral hogs and young camels, sambar deer and buffalo.
@@edmondantes4338The dingo is not an invasive species and it’s origins of when and how it got to Australia are still heavily debated, mitochondrial DNA tests suggest that dingoes branched off from wolves and/or dogs 8,500 years ago, and rock paintings found also depict a canine-like animal that could be 30,000 years old, it is also suggested that dingoes actually crossed a land bridge that had formed 8,500 years ago from New Guinea to Australia or either swam or were taken to Australia by aboriginals tens of thousands of years ago. They are a very important apex predator that keeps the populations of both large native and feral animals down. Especially since Australia has no other apex predators and seemed to not have any since the extinctions of Thylacoleo and Megalania (The thylacine is now thought to be much more like a fox in niche, only being able to take down things as large as a possum or smaller)

It’s weird how all the big cats used to be in north, and South America, but now almost all are in Asia, and Africa. To be more specific we used to have lions, cheetahs, and ect. I will add more but I can’t think right now.
The agriotherium was not large or powerful enough to take down a healthy adult hippo or rhino. They were only slightly larger than polar bears and we know what would happen hypothetically if a polar bear were to fight either ungulate.
The Bears were subsequently and systematically eliminated from all of Africa by the Big Cats who moved in from Asia, Middle East and Mediterranean lands. The Bears were prayed upon by Lions just like Tigers feast on full grown Brown Bears and the Ussuri Bear which is as big as a Kodiak
Here we go, again with the big cat fanatics. Lions didn't eliminate any bear to extinction, it was the humans who drove bears to extinction. Tigers don't hunt adult ussuri brown bears, they only hunt juveniles and hibernating by ambushing them.
Well, no. In Victoria (an Australian state), we have about a population of introduced black bears that is 20 in the snowy river region, that thankfully actually help! But I don’t blame you for thinking that.
I've always thought that it was weird that there are no bears in Africa. I have heard stories about an African bear, it's kind of like Sasquatch there's only unconfirmed eyewitness reports
That would be a good one. A giant man eating weasels from 20 million years ago. He did a video about giant oysters in Africa but that is a good suggestion. For some reason I keep thinking, he might have covered it.

He says that in the video if you watch the prehistoric dolphin video. He's pretty thorough in his videos. He covers a lot of related species that overlap into groups of whales. Summarizing the contents as whales is still correct. If he used the word "cetaceans". It's going to possibly confuse the viewer not familiar with the scientific language of the group it belongs to. So, yeah he's trying to communicate effectively and try his best not to alienate younger, or populations of viewers that speak a different language and viewers that don't recognize the word. The word whale, you can picture in your head, if I say "Rorquals" which is the largest group of baleen whales. You're not going to be interested because it's statistically lower even for a fluent English speaker to create a mental picture. It's called communication theory. Now you get it? 😉

Thank you for make this videm man ,i never see someone make long video about prihistoric africa bear
Last time I checked, it's Australia, and Antartica that had no bears. Africa had them in the North.
The agriotherium was not large or powerful enough to take down a healthy adult hippo or rhino. They were only slightly larger than polar bears and we know what would happen hypothetically if a polar bear were to fight either ungulate.
But weren’t hippos and rhinos of the time (or whatever relatives of theirs were around) larger than contemporary ones?
7:10 it would have been a good idea to specify that timeframe at the beginning of the video imo. I liked it a lot otherwise!
The Bears were subsequently and systematically eliminated from all of Africa by the Big Cats who moved in from Asia, Middle East and Mediterranean lands.
The Bears were prayed upon by Lions just like Tigers feast on full grown Brown Bears and the Ussuri Bear which is as big as a Kodiak
Here we go, again with the big cat fanatics. Lions didn't eliminate any bear to extinction, it was the humans who drove bears to extinction. Tigers don't hunt adult ussuri brown bears, they only hunt juveniles and hibernating by ambushing them.
"And that's why goldilocks and the three bears don't talk about their ancestors"
Little timmy: what in the actual fu-💀
Is this rhe origin of the Nandi Bear Crypid of Kenya?.
There are many species of bears, some are small while others are very big
Any bear in Australia would be transplanted.
Well, no. In Victoria (an Australian state), we have about a population of introduced black bears that is 20 in the snowy river region, that thankfully actually help! But I don’t blame you for thinking that.
Not forgetting the atlas bear
Damn u fr changed the thumbnail after people said it was grusome lol (love ur vids)
I've always thought that it was weird that there are no bears in Africa.
I have heard stories about an African bear, it's kind of like Sasquatch there's only unconfirmed eyewitness reports
There used to be a population of brown bears in North Africa called the Atlas bear, but they were hunted to extinction.
Ursus arctos crowtheri!!!! Lived in Africa till 1870 years!!!☝️
So a Giant Bear from Africa that could take down megafauna closest relative...is a Black and White Bamboo eating Sentient TeddyBear....Fascinating
5:25 I know this is a video about bears, but hippos running at that speed will never not be terrifying
There are no bears in Oceania either
@@heinrichharkonen2084 Both polar and brown bears can hitch rides on icebergs. Of course islands in the northern Pacific have them.
Who needs museums anymore, when you got youtube
One Bear wouldn't stand a chance vs a 🦏
Can you do a video on megalictis?
That would be a good one. A giant man eating weasels from 20 million years ago. He did a video about giant oysters in Africa but that is a good suggestion. For some reason I keep thinking, he might have covered it.
@@Stellectis2014 I’ll check! Such a cool animal
The short face bear could slap you so hard you could be decapitated or your neck being snapped
Agriotherium to an dinofelis:I like ya cut G *NECK SNAPPING SOUNDS*
About your end teaser on the "terrifying" ancient dolphins, remember that orcas are actually dolphins and not whales.
He says that in the video if you watch the prehistoric dolphin video. He's pretty thorough in his videos. He covers a lot of related species that overlap into groups of whales. Summarizing the contents as whales is still correct. If he used the word "cetaceans". It's going to possibly confuse the viewer not familiar with the scientific language of the group it belongs to. So, yeah he's trying to communicate effectively and try his best not to alienate younger, or populations of viewers that speak a different language and viewers that don't recognize the word. The word whale, you can picture in your head, if I say "Rorquals" which is the largest group of baleen whales. You're not going to be interested because it's statistically lower even for a fluent English speaker to create a mental picture. It's called communication theory. Now you get it? 😉
Dolphins are a subset of whales.
0:06 not carnivores but omnivores
He's not calling them carnivores. They're part of the order carnivora.
6:14 ... is this a gorgopithecus version of Ilya Repin's "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan"?
