The purpose of this article was to uncover the evolutionary lineage of the giant short-faced bears, also known as Tremarctinae which are found in North and South America. The hypothesis for the article was that although the Artodus, which are the North American short-faced bears, and Arctotherium, which are the South American short-faced bears have the same survival traits they evolved autonomously of each other.

There are two subspecies of…
