How did humans survive the megafauna? There we were with Paleolithic tools, and there were megafauna! There were bears! There were megafauna bears!! And now here we are all alive and the dominant species of the world thousands and thousands and thousands of years later and most of the megafauna are dead (I mean we still have, like, moose and, uh, elephants) but they had BEARS!!! MegaBears! How did we live??????

MacFarlane's Bear is a large unidentified bear species found in Canada. MacFarlane's Bear is described as a large bear that is bigger than any other bear species. The first sighting of  MacFarlane's Bear was back in 1864 when it was killed by some Inuit hunters and they gave the pelt and the skull to Roderick MacFarlane who then donated them to the Smithsonian where they were eventually stored away and forgotten abut until 1918. People believe that MacFarlane’s Bear could have been an extinct cave bear or a polar bear grizzly hybrid. MacFarlane’s Bear was featured on the T.V. show Monster Quest called Giant Bear Attack where it talked about people’s recent encounters with MacFarlane's Bear
