(Supports included)

Special handling fees will be applied to this order. We will contact you with the amount prior to shipping.

Arctodus simus (Cope-1897), the short-faced bear, became extinct approximately 11,000 years ago. This individual died approximately 28,000 years ago and was found in Alaska. Other specimens have been found in several locations from Mexico to Alaska. These bears were extremely large and weight estimates have been in excess of 1300 lbs. They are considered the largest predatory mammal to have roamed the earth. This specimen, when alive, was approximately five feet at the hip and stood about 10 feet tall. We are grateful to the Babiarz Institute of Paleontological Studies for the opportunity to cast this individual.

The cranium and half of the mandible were found in excellent condition, but some sculptural reconstruction was done.. The cranium was missing the canines. The mandible was missing all of its teeth. The missing half of the jaw was sculpted to mirror the existing half, and the missing teeth were sculpted to complete the skull.

An upright position is also available. 

Postcranial parts are available. Please inquire.

As with all of our skeletons, custom mounting is available.
