What did Ursus maritimus tyrannus look like?

[divingwolf]

The specimen of Ursus arctos (CFM 63802) from Mother Goose Lake, Alaska, USA is the longest brown bear ulna that I know of with 450 mm.

As far as cave bears go, the longest ulna I could find is 425.5 mm long. It was found in Zoolithen cave in Burggailenreuth, Germany.

I know the Agriotherium africanum'ulna is 416mm.
Is there any longer ulnas of Agriotherium or Indarctos?

duanmianxiong, you are very lucky to have access to a library. Would you give us citations for your Reply 11, 12 and 18, please?

Authors, titles, years of publications, journal name and details if applicable.

I would really like to read the articles or books where this interesting information was taken from.

Thanks.

I do not mind the discussion (FWIW, I am reviewing the literature for possible contribution) but the discussion has gone/moved off topic. This is an Ursus maritimus tyrannus related thread. Anyhow, I created a new thread and incorporated your posts.

If the discussion moves off topic feel free to create a 'new' topic- specific-thread in the appropriate forum section.
