Uno de los últimos osos de cara corta de la selva maya se aleja del olor de la civilización.
Inspirado por el descubrimiento reciente de cráneos de oso de cara corta (Arctotherium o quizá Arctodus) de unos 11.000 años de antiguedad en un cenote de Yucatán.
La noticia me hizo imaginar que quizá los últimos osos gigantes de cara corta sobrevivieron en lo más remoto de la selva, quizá lo suficiente para ver surgir las primeras civilizaciones mesoamericanas. Es solo un pensamiento romántico. Imaginen lo que un maya habria sentido de haberse topado en lo mas profundo de la selva con el ultimo de estos osos monstruosos :D

One of the last short faced bears of the Mayan Jungle about to flee from the smell of civilization.
Inspired by the recent discovery of four 11.000 year old skulls of short faced bears (Arctotherium or possibly Arctodus) in a Yucatan cenote.
The news made me imagine, what if the very last giant bears survived in the deepest, darkest jungle, maybe enough to see the rise of the first Mesoamerican civilizations? It's just a romantic thought, but imagine what a Maya would've thought/felt if he stumbled upon the last of these monstrous bears :D

Even his bear powers won't help him against civilization.

Maybe when 2012 threatens to bring doom to planet Earth, a Mayan bear from the past can come save the day XD

I wouldn´t count on it; according to some Mayan myths, when the world does end, it will be because four giant beasts (usually said to be jaguars) will be unleashed from the Underworld to devastate the world

looks quite plausible, maybe not for Giant short faced ones ( though it would be indeed amazig :D ) but for Tremarctos ornatus, as there have been found some subfossils of giant anteater in southern USA. But I agree, perhaps some now extinct race of American black bear might be more plausible

We know that Desmodus draculae survived to Mayan times.
