Extinct species of carnivore
Ursus etruscus Etruscan bear ) is an extinct species of bear, endemic to Europe , Asia and North Africa during the Early Pleistocene , living from approximately 2.2 million to around 1.4-1.2 million years ago.[1]
Skull
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Ursus etruscus appears to have evolved from Ursus minimus Ursus arctos Ursus spelaeus [2] Ursus etruscus was mostly limited to continental Europe , with specimens also recovered in the Great Steppe region of Eurasia . Fossil evidence for Ursus etruscus was recovered in Palestine , Greece ,[3] Croatia , and Tuscany, Italy .
Some scientists have proposed that the early, small variety of U. etruscus of the middle Villafranchian era survives in the form of the modern Asian black bear .[4]
Morphology [ edit ]
Not unlike the brown bears of Europe in size, it had a full complement of premolars , a trait carried from the genus Ursavus
Fossil distribution [ edit ]
Sites and specimen ages:
Vassiloudi, Macedonia Greece ~5.3–1.8 Ma.
Obigarm, Tajikistan ~5.3–1.8 Ma.
Ahl al Oughlam, Morocco ~3.6–1.8 Ma.
Pardines, Auvergne, France ~2.5–1.8 Ma.
Dmanisi, Georgia ~1.8–0.8 Ma.
Mestas de Con, Cangas de Onis, Asturias, Spain ~1.8–0.1 Ma.[5]
