'''''Arctodus''''' is an extinct genus including two species of prehistoric bears of the subfamily Tremarctinae. ''[[Arctodus simus]]'', along with many other large mammals, became extinct during the [[Pleistocene]] epoch. It was preceded in time by ''A. pristinus'', an evolutionary cousin or even ancestor of ''A. simus'', proportionally shorter of leg and longer of muzzle.<ref name="Shortface">{{cite web | url = http://www.beringia.com/02/02maina4.html | title = North American Short-Faced Bear | author = Harrington, C.R. | publisher = Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre | accessdate = 2008-07-19}}</ref> |
