......with wooly mammoths and rhinos.
Now there are posters that said prehistoric polar bears acctually shared the same habitat as wooly mammoths and rhinos and did not prey on the adults.
However, what i have read is that barren grizzlies prey on must oxens twice their weight.
Thniking about this, I am not about to say that a giant polar bear would regularly prey on adult wooly mammoths or rhinos but they could use thier advantage at night to prey on calves?
Or maybe an aggressive female polar bear could chase mammoths or rhinos out of their territory to protect their cubs or an exceptionally aggressive male might acctually attack an adult wolly mammoth or rhino that ventures too close to its territory?
??
Any literature on that?
