I don't think that short-face bear would waste its time with a ground sloth. Too much effort, very little chance of success, a high chance of getting itself f*cked up... there's a shitload of easier prey to go after in its environment... what can I say, its television =D

Damn nature, You scary!

if the bears shoulder was broken he would be defenceless also if that happened 20 million years ago,,or a broken jaw and 2 broken legs,,sure somethings defenceless if its hurt

Did anybody else notice the HUGE weight estimation flaw???

The short faced bear is supposed to be 2 to 3 times bigger than the grizzly. Grizzly bear avg. 1,000 lbs.

The sloth supposedly 2,000 lbs and 800 lbs heavier than the short faced bear. Putting short face bear at 1,200 lbs which is only 200 lbs heavier than a grizzly bear.

How did they make such a huge mistake before making this video? And how come no else noticed? X-D

It's like they're having a bitch slap fight

Please. If the sloth outweighed the bear by 800lbs, there's a strong chance it could crush or break bones with a swing of it's humongous paws. Especially considering it was also partially bipedal.

lol its a boxing match

@rsuriyop I was thinking that too, at the very least I can't imagine the bears would attack full grown ground sloths unless it was the last resort

A kick from a giraffe can decapitate a lion (grant it this genus of sloth weighed about 600pounds less then a giraffe - still 800 more pounds then the bear) so I can imagine a hit from a ground sloth would at least have a good chance of ripping out bone.
