Verified profile

The Auvergne bear was a species of bear widespread, during the entire Pliocene, in Europe and China with various subspecies. It was a small Ursidae typical of forest environments, similar to the current Tibetan bear, especially from the dental point of view, although it was smaller in size. The Auvergne bear was the first representative of the genus Ursus and in fact is the origin of black, cave and brown bears both in Europe and in North America. In Europe it gives origin, at the end of the Pliocene (about 2.6 million years ago), to the Etruscan bear.
