This is a mismatch. Carnotaurus was over twice as massive as arctodus ( on average ) and still significantly larger when using the largest specimen. The dinosaur would overpower the bear. A more fair matchup is with Majungasaurus instead.
Well you wouldn't really need them if you're evolved to have a massive, bone eviscerating mouth instead. You don't need to really grab onto anything if all it takes is one bite
9:20 this is actually wrong. The reason why the short face bear was so rare at the tar pits is because it lived in more open habitat areas the tar pits, mostly take place in the forest and areas. That’s why there are sabertooth cats and dire wolves at the tar pits more than short faced bears and American lions.
The reason given by the authors of the paper is that all the three bear species recovered from the Tar Pits were likely not regularly competing for carcasses (at least not at the rate the hypercarnivores were competing for said carcasses), with lower population densities to boot. Arctodus simus was recorded at its baseline continental abundance, though from a shorter time window.
@@user-th1hu6hg9s ok but bears, with the higher intelligence could just change its tactic to fighting on all fours. Or the bear could stand up to the charge, side stepping, pushing its head to the side and then giving a near fatal blow from its paw swipe across the neck.
The horns are purely ornamental, they cant use them as weapons in any capacity. The bear however is known to charge at its prey and could easily wrestle with a carno because you have to think about how they are close in size and that bears wrestle eachother often in nature

For those who don’t know, The 1.2 tonne fat-free mass estimate for a very large Arctodus specimen comes from a volumetric estimate on the Kansas River giant specimen scaled from others of its kind, where the author calculated via the volumetric method a fat+fur free mass of 1211kg; with these added on, it would likely surpass 1300kg in life. It would also have a shoulder height of 2m or 6”6. Double that on its hind legs

Oh please, youre ignoring critical points by just saying the larger animal wins. A 7 year old grizzly bear in alberta canada was struck by a car traveling 60mph and walked away unharmed. If that car hits a carno its literally dead, as its leg(s) are likely shattered. A short faced bear being even more massive than the grizzly means that it has even better defense and is much more survivable. Dont sell the bears short, theres much more to the equation than just size, speed, and bite force.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't archosaur/reptile muscles more dense than mammal muscles. Wouldn't that also make Carnotaurus stronger pound by pound?

@@HelperKaiGlenn Do you not understand I was replying to the original post? Please tell me your temporarily impaired from 8-12 beers and not really dumb as a rock here as your comments suggest.....
I think with the weight differences you would have a similar interaction to how that pair of lionesses encountered a honey badger. It might just end in the Carno deciding it isn't worth the trouble
This is interesting regarding the size of Arctotherium. Copium Rex actually had a similar thing going on with its femur, the femur was actually shorter than Stan, Sue, and Scotty’s femur but Copium’s was girthier. While Arctotherium’s humerus was shorter than Arctodus by around 2cm it was also girthier by around 2cm as well. I’m not a scientist or anything but it’s something to think about.
The size estimates based on femurs likely weren’t the same between T. rex and bears however, because something like Theropods iirc, you’ll go with the width of the femur not the length. Looking at the study and the post, using humerus length seems to best way to estimate the mass of the bear.
@@denistyrant both the femurs and humerus are weigh bearing bones so I think while there will be some differences in equation I still think it would have similar effects. There’s also (Nicolás E Campione et al 2012-A universal scaling relationship between body mass and proximal limb bone dimensions in quadrupedal terrestrial tetrapods) this is what is said in the conclusion “The conserved nature of the relationship between stylopodial circumference and body mass suggests that the minimum diaphyseal circumference of the major weight-bearing bones is only weakly influenced by the varied forces exerted on the limbs (that is, compression or torsion) and most strongly related to the mass of the animal. Our results, therefore, provide a much-needed, robust, phylogenetically corrected framework for accurate and consistent estimation of body mass in extinct terrestrial quadrupeds.” I also couldn’t find anything on humerus length being a better indicator for mass estimates in general let alone for bears. I personally think only using one equation to estimate an animals mass would also yield a lower sample size. versus multiple equations to find the median/mean mass, which would lead to more accurate or reliable estimate imo.
The whole two ton size estimate for Arctotherium angustidens is far fetched for several reasons. The bone used for the size estimate had been broken and then healed, leading to a far greater diameter than it otherwise would have, thus giving false results when put into the equation. It also ignores that there are multiple known Arctodus bones of the same limb element no less, that are larger than the specimen used in the study, and come from animals that only weighed around 1000kg, meaning the individual bear used to get the 2 ton size estimate would actually be smaller than 1000kg. The equation was also developed using obese brown bears in captive settings, meaning it is effectively useless for calculating the mass of non-obese bears. So, from what material we have, Arctotherium angustidens likely only weighed around 800kg-bigger than any living bear save for the record sized polar bear, but smaller than Arctodus.
@@mhdfrb9971 “The 2ton estimate being far fetched” so you do agree with the paper! Because the paper says itself “The highest predicted value is probably unrealistic” aka the 2ton estimate. Yes the specimen in question had heal damage but what you fail to mention is where on the specimen. The parts that were damaged were the caudal border and deltoid crest. Not the shaft of the humerus. As I pointed out to the individual before you. diaphyseal circumference of the major weight-bearing bones strongly related to the mass of the animal (Nicolás E Campione et al 2012).I have yet to see a Arctodus specimen that surpasses the Arctotherium’s humerus in circumference. But if they are as common as you say they are then it should be no problem to mention them. Which equation was based on an obese brown bear? There’s 6 different equations if you didn’t know, so one being unreliable probably wouldn’t change too much. Was it the 2ton estimate or the other three that put Arctotherium above 1,600kg. So many to choose from lol. So, from one equation from one measurement used (length) of the humerus you guesstimate that the animal weighed 800kg despite the fact that the lowest estimate provided was 983kg so even the lowest estimate of Arctotherium would still make it slightly than the average Arctodus.
@@albino-fish The 800-900 kg size estimate is for the largest known Arctotherium angustidens individual, it’s not the norm for that species. An average of 550-650 kg seems more reasonable for them which is around the same as male polar bears. They were certainly huge bears, we just don’t have the material indicating they matched or surpassed Arctodus simus.
I don’t know why, but for some reason, I thought this video was about Carnotaurus vs. a Polar Bear (instead of Short-Faced Bear). Well, at least it’s a bit more of a formidable hypothetical opponent (Polar Bear probably wouldn’t last 3 minutes).
Bite size vs Jaw size/opening angle pretty much tells us the story here. How does any bear get its mouth open far enough to do any appreciable damage to something with a neck like an oil drum and reach for days?
2:09 I ducking HATE that people say that every dinosaur has a weak bite force because the overrated T Rex had a stronger one, dam that's so annoying, Carnotaurus, pound for pound had a even stronger bite than t Rex, also, when tf is 3500N-7500N weak? That can crush the life out of anything that enters it's jaws
Because of its size in the movie as a kid, I thought that was supposed to be T-Rex, but my aunt was a former paleontologist before her foot was itched falling down a rock during one of her exhibitions, and she was a paleontologist I was I was a pampers, but when I was old enough to watch the movie, she wasn’t a paleontologist anymore, but she’s what gave me all my knowledge about dinosaurs and my dad.

I agree with your assessment and outcome. I still think the Arctodus could hold its own and potentially win a lucky few encounters, however. It’s incredible how strong modern bears are, so I’d imagine that a large male Arctodus would be one of the last mammals any Carnotaurus would want to bother. This was a very interesting breakdown, so I’d like to suggest some future, similar topics. Ceratosaurus vs Daeodon Utahraptor vs American Lion Herrerasaurus vs Hyaenodon Gigas
@@princevermilion8799 can you give examples? Jacksons chameleons are one example that do, some are for defense though like Horned lizards but that still has a use other than display, its important not to confuse true horns with crests or casques seen on many birds/ dinosaurs
What people ALWAYS get wrong about Carnotaurus are it's horns, due to the body of it and it's diet, they're clearly designed for stabbing it's prey while running along side or directly into them in the right angle, also why it's arms are basically not existent because of it's blatant build for ramming at high speeds, and why they were known for not having a high bite force since they can just inflict more greater internal damage to their prey that a simple bite couldn't do, with the ram being aided by the speed and force of the impact when said horns go into their prey to cause said internal damage.
Before having even watched this video, I'm going short faced bear all the way. Yes, i know it is half the size. Doesn't matter. Carnotaurus had one weapon. It's bite, which wasn't that powerful and it's teeth weren't particularly large. The osteoderms on its body were largely on the back and wouldn't have provided as much protection as people think. I would bet money that the horns were not weapons. If they were, they would have ONLY been used for pushing matches against other carnotaurus' and not against other species for hunting or defense. The short faced bear on the other hand has more weapons that each do more damage. The bite was much more powerful. The canine teeth were much larger than anything in a carnotaurus' mouth. The paws had huge claws backed by extremely powerful muscles. And not only could it use those paws and claws for extremely powerful blows, easily capable of breaking bones in the carnotaurus, but it could also use them for gripping, ripping, tearing, and most importantly, grappling. As far as defenses, bears have skin like dogs and cats, which is loosely attached to the body, allowing the animal to "move around in its own skin". This may not sound like much, but it is an incredibly effective defensive armor. Anything biting the bear is likely to just get a mouth full of skin folds, making the bite largely ineffective. Anybody with a dog or cat that has ever tried to immobilize their head by holding the neck knows it is nearly impossible to do so. Now combine that with a very thick layer of subcutaneous fat. So thick that none of the carnotaurus' teeth are long enough to get through it. Not even close. And as Joe Rogan is famous for saying, bears know judo. Sounds ridiculous and is only a slight exaggeration, but bears regularly perform real grappling moves like hip tosses, head locks, picks, and many others. They are exceptional grapplers. I see the carnotaurus charging in and biting the bear, getting a mouth full of loose skin, and starts shaking its head thinking it's doing real damage when it isn't. The bear can now turn in its skin, bite onto the carno, easily peircing the scales with its large canines and powerful jaws. The bear would simultaneously wrap its forearms around the carno's neck, twist, pulling it off balance, and dragging it to the ground. And that's it. Once the carno is on the ground, the bear pins it and starts ripping it to pieces, targeting the unarmored belly and neck. Now after watching the video... He explained that the carno bite force was much weaker than the bear, but then gave the bite force advantage to the carno? The carno could not have been more agile than the bear. Pure running speed ≠ agility. The carno was larger, longer, and bipedal. That is a huge lever that needs to pivot around a single point on two legs. A quadrupedal bear half the weight would be much more agile even if it was a slower runner. A bear standing on two legs is absolutely not in any sort of disadvantage. Just watch bears fighting. They stand on their hind legs on purpose and they are exceptionally stable while doing so. They don't get "knocked over" so easily. Just because they prefer to travel on all 4s doesn't mean they aren't perfectly comfortable and able to fight while on two legs. In fact it is their preferred fighting stance. So yeah, i say the short faced bear wins 8/10 times.
If they were close to equal in size I think it's a 50/50 shot as to who wins. Carnotaurus could land a bite on arctodus front limb and from there it might be game over depending on the bite or maybe land a bite on the neck. On the other hand bears regularly bite the ever loving shit out of each other and fight like Olympic Greco-Roman wrestlers. They're much more stable bipedally than given credit for here. If the arctodus came rushing on all fours and stood up quickly as bears often do, it could bite the carnos neck with it's arms wrapped around. Bears power is often severely underestimated in these types of videos and to this day we have no way of accurately measuring their strength, let alone an extinct bear. Just look at the Sloth Bear vs Bengal Tiger. Yes Bengals do kill them but Sloth Bears often return the favor or scare the Tigers off because it's not worth the risk but then they go drop a 2800lbs Guar. Like I said, if it's close in size 50/50 is probably the most likely outcome, or they just give each other a wide birth.
Wrong, there’s multiple problems with this. While yes, they can stand up on their hind legs, the stability isn’t going to be as good as something like Carnotaurus, especially since they don’t have a large muscular tail to keep them stable. This would leave them vulnerable to being knocked over, especially since when intraspecific conflicts, bears tend to get rag dolled when they’re both standing on their hind legs. Something like Carnotaurus would have far better stability when it comes to bipedal stance, and it’s not even close. Now for the biting, even with that being said, bears aren’t adapted for landing quick and fatal bites like Felids, and to land such a well placed bite, Arctodus is going to have to keep Carnotaurus in a good place. One could say sure, the bears strength is underestimated but so are dinosaurs and in general macropredatory reptiles like crocodiles, especially when compared to bears. I should mention as well unlike canine teeth, ziphodont teeth isn’t dependent on going to softer areas such as the neck, they can go for any area, as along as they get a good bite in, it would cause serious bleeding for the animal.
Majungasaurus or concavenator(although concavenator is not an abelisaurid) would’ve been much more a a fair fight, since you really scaled down the carno.
That is how a real situation would go. Predators would not risk their health over nothing, but in a battle to the end, I think the Carno would take it.
Generally yes, but under certain circumstances sometimes predators will risk fighting to the death. When starving and close to death or to protect their young for example.
i think the carnosaurus would win 8-9 out of every 10 encounters. we got to remember that the momentum of the carnotarus would also be transferred to the bear, meaning that it most likely would be flung backwards if it got hit, opening up opportunities for the carnotaurus to attack
A 1.3 ton bear could probably wrestle an even heavier carnotaurus with ease. And once the carnotaurus is on the ground it's over. The bear is too intelligent and knows how to fight.
Carno's big advantage would be gone after the initial charge, if the fight ever goes to the ground then the bear would have advantage. In short it would be decided in a moment, despite being a drawn out encounter.
The dino has the edge in size and intimidation however -- total lack of arms would be a distinct handicap in a carnivore vs. carnivore duel. Arms can come in pretty "handy."
I think a lot of texts overestimate the size/weights of a lot of these smaller therapods. Bears are extremely powerful. Like how would it attack the bear. Just charging it? It has literally no arms. Imagine going after a bear with your face. Lets not act like Carnotaurus had some huge jaws either. There's like one almost complete skeleton of Carnotaurus and even then it's not complete. If they actually were 4k lbs then maybe yeah, but A 1500lb plus bear would not be an easy meal. Movies have made people believe these things were huge.
Do you think a carnotaurus walks away from being struck by a passenger car traveling at 60mph? Because a 7 year old grizzly bear did in alberta canada... My money is on the bear as it is much more defensible than carnotaurus and has more weapons during the attack. The carno has its jaws, but the bear has complex arms and legs and jaws and it can use them all much more effectively. You cant downplay the defebsive qualities of the fur, the thick hide, and the large layer of blubber which protects critical organs and major blood vessels. The carno falls apart when it comes to its survivability. A "natural" wild encounter has both animals not wanting to fuck with the other, but a forced fight is different and i think the bear would surprise you.
Amazing video and I agree with the outcome but he did get a few things wrong about the carno. For starters the carno was not good at quick turns quite the opposite actually it’s tail was wide and thick but did not have a lot of maneuverability which is what most therapods rely on to turn. Second of all it was not an ambush hunter taking in the fact that it could not turn very quickly means it most likely hunted on open plains where it would pretty much race its prey and bite at it in quick succession until it dropped not one large bite to drop it in one go. And finally I pretty much just said it but it did not rely on its bite force but rather its bite speed to take down prey.
I wonder what Carno's resting heart rate would be? Reptiles generally tend to have lower metabolic rates than mammals, leaving them prone to exhaustion after quick bursts of energy. Caimans have been observed to have resting heart rate in the single digits that rise to the 30s and 40s of bpm when sighting prey. Conversely, polar bears have a resting heart rate in the 40s and 50s of bpm. This would likely increase during predation and combat, but I haven't found numbers on that. This would make a big difference in a prolonged fight, with the reptilian Carno tiring out after it's initial attack/struggle. Fights between similarly sized male Grizzly bears during the mating season can be prolonged encounters. I've seen footage of some lasting well over 10 minutes. Now I'm unsure if this means the short faced bear would have more stamina than the Carno, given the larger size of the Shortface compared to modern bears. But if the stark contrast between the metabolic rates of mammals and reptilians applied in this fight, I'd say that the Carno would have a smaller window of opportunity to win than the bear. Now if the Carno bore a similar metabolic rate to living terrestrial birds like Ostriches or Cassowary, which have resting bpm around the 40s and 50s and a range similar to that of mammals, there wouldn't be as much of a discrepency. Also for some reason, six flags new england says Carnos may have hunted in packs, although I can't find any other support for that claim. If that was true then the bear would lose as there would likely be more carnos.
It’s very likely Carnotaurus had higher metabolic rates than other reptiles. It was at least an mesotherm, with some studies even suggests that suggests that many dinosaurs were endothermic, having a metabolic rate higher than mammals and closer to that of birds.
@@denistyrantbears also have thick fur and fat layers, granting increased mobility under hold. The thick and loose layers allow them to maneuver even with the claws and jaws of the enemy latched onto them. The muscular and fatty humps they have also protects their spines from back bites. I'm inclined to aggree that the Carno's success relies entirely on how effective its initial attack is
@@br3hbmc79 Thick fur and fat layers likely wouldn’t be protective against ziphodont teeth. Carnotaurus had ziphodont teeth which were perfectly designed to slice through flesh, so thick fur and fat is likely not going to protect the bear. What makes matters worse is the bear wouldn’t be used to an animal with ziphodont teeth, since most if not all of it’s competitors had canines, which mainly rely on puncturing in order to inflict deep wounds, something ziphodont teeth doesn’t have to rely on. So even if the bear isn’t going to have to worry about the overall power of the bite, it’s going to have to worry about the heavy amount of bloodless the Carnotaurus can inflict with it’s quick bites.
@@denistyrantcarno teeth arent swords... they arent slicing through flesh, they are penetrating for sure, but since theres so much fur, hide, and blubber, they arent going to get deep enough to cause much more than superficial tissue damage.
Except as said in the video, thr giant 1.5+ tonne estimate is erroneous as the individual’s bone was injured and reheated, making the radius thicker than it should be, and was scaled from overweight captive bears, which isn’t very reliable.
Realistically: bear slashes Carnos eyes whilst carno attempts to restrain bear. Carno is doomed to die. Even more realistic: carno decides this isn't worth it and runs off.

@@panagiotismagos3649 I mean, think about it, a carnotorus is going to attempt to bite the bear, which requires putting its head in reach of the bear. by the placement of the eyes of the carnotorus, It's most likely going to either hit in the eye or rather close if our short faced bear decides to go for a slap or slash... if the bear fails to slash the eyes out of the carno, it's not gonna end well for the bear... But realistically, the bear should end up ripping the carnos' eyes out... unless the carno bites the bears arms, which would make everything a lot more complicated...

After the second punch the carno is going to grab one of the paws of bear and serilusly mangle it or drag the bear as a whole.
Carnotaurus being superior when it comes to agility? They likely were very fast in a straight line, but the trade-off likely was lack of agility when going fast. Bears in general are surprisingly quick, nimble and enduring.
@@aboomination897 a bear isn’t nimble I’ve seen videos of bears fighting they aren’t exactly dodging much just crashing into each other and throwing a few bites and swings

The carnotaurus from Dinosaur and Terra Nova are fucking MASSIVE. Iguanadons are compared to Allosauruses in terms of size and weight. A carnotaurus dwarfing that and standing up to a sauropod is insane.

For those who don’t know, The 1.2 tonne fat-free mass estimate for a very large Arctodus specimen comes from a volumetric estimate on the Kansas River giant specimen scaled from others of its kind, where the author calculated via the volumetric method a fat+fur free mass of 1211kg; with these added on, it would likely surpass 1300kg in life. It would also have a shoulder height of 2m or 6”6. Double that on its hind legs

Oh please, youre ignoring critical points by just saying the larger animal wins. A 7 year old grizzly bear in alberta canada was struck by a car traveling 60mph and walked away unharmed. If that car hits a carno its literally dead, as its leg(s) are likely shattered. A short faced bear being even more massive than the grizzly means that it has even better defense and is much more survivable. Dont sell the bears short, theres much more to the equation than just size, speed, and bite force.
What the T-Rex in the comic panel did not take into account is the Mammals had called in Air Support from an AC 130 Gunship. :D
Correct me if I'm mistaken,
but aren't archosaur/reptile muscles more dense than mammal muscles. Wouldn't that also make Carnotaurus stronger pound by pound?

I think with the weight differences you would have a similar interaction to how that pair of lionesses encountered a honey badger.
It might just end in the Carno deciding it isn't worth the trouble
This is interesting regarding the size of Arctotherium.
Copium Rex actually had a similar thing going on with its femur, the femur was actually shorter than Stan, Sue, and Scotty’s femur but Copium’s was girthier.
While Arctotherium’s humerus was shorter than Arctodus by around 2cm it was also girthier by around 2cm as well.
I’m not a scientist or anything but it’s something to think about.
The size estimates based on femurs likely weren’t the same between T. rex and bears however, because something like Theropods iirc, you’ll go with the width of the femur not the length. Looking at the study and the post, using humerus length seems to best way to estimate the mass of the bear.
@@denistyrant both the femurs and humerus are weigh bearing bones so I think while there will be some differences in equation I still think it would have similar effects.
There’s also (Nicolás E Campione et al 2012-A universal scaling relationship between body mass and proximal limb bone dimensions in quadrupedal terrestrial tetrapods) this is what is said in the conclusion
“The conserved nature of the relationship between stylopodial circumference and body mass suggests that the minimum diaphyseal circumference of the major weight-bearing bones is only weakly influenced by the varied forces exerted on the limbs (that is, compression or torsion) and most strongly related to the mass of the animal. Our results, therefore, provide a much-needed, robust, phylogenetically corrected framework for accurate and consistent estimation of body mass in extinct terrestrial quadrupeds.”
I also couldn’t find anything on humerus length being a better indicator for mass estimates in general let alone for bears. I personally think only using one equation to estimate an animals mass would also yield a lower sample size. versus multiple equations to find the median/mean mass, which would lead to more accurate or reliable estimate imo.
The whole two ton size estimate for Arctotherium angustidens is far fetched for several reasons. The bone used for the size estimate had been broken and then healed, leading to a far greater diameter than it otherwise would have, thus giving false results when put into the equation.
It also ignores that there are multiple known Arctodus bones of the same limb element no less, that are larger than the specimen used in the study, and come from animals that only weighed around 1000kg, meaning the individual bear used to get the 2 ton size estimate would actually be smaller than 1000kg. The equation was also developed using obese brown bears in captive settings, meaning it is effectively useless for calculating the mass of non-obese bears.
So, from what material we have, Arctotherium angustidens likely only weighed around 800kg-bigger than any living bear save for the record sized polar bear, but smaller than Arctodus.
@@mhdfrb9971 “The 2ton estimate being far fetched” so you do agree with the paper! Because the paper says itself “The highest predicted value is probably unrealistic” aka the 2ton estimate.
Yes the specimen in question had heal damage but what you fail to mention is where on the specimen. The parts that were damaged were the caudal border and deltoid crest. Not the shaft of the humerus.
As I pointed out to the individual before you. diaphyseal circumference of the major weight-bearing bones strongly related to the mass of the animal (Nicolás E Campione et al 2012).I have yet to see a Arctodus specimen that surpasses the Arctotherium’s humerus in circumference. But if they are as common as you say they are then it should be no problem to mention them.
Which equation was based on an obese brown bear? There’s 6 different equations if you didn’t know, so one being unreliable probably wouldn’t change too much. Was it the 2ton estimate or the other three that put Arctotherium above 1,600kg. So many to choose from lol.
So, from one equation from one measurement used (length) of the humerus you guesstimate that the animal weighed 800kg despite the fact that the lowest estimate provided was 983kg so even the lowest estimate of Arctotherium would still make it slightly than the average Arctodus.
@@albino-fish The 800-900 kg size estimate is for the largest known Arctotherium angustidens individual, it’s not the norm for that species. An average of 550-650 kg seems more reasonable for them which is around the same as male polar bears. They were certainly huge bears, we just don’t have the material indicating they matched or surpassed Arctodus simus.

Well, at least it’s a bit more of a formidable hypothetical opponent (Polar Bear probably wouldn’t last 3 minutes).
Carnotaurus is such an ancient animal that its very difficult to predict how this animal would behave however we know bears pretty well.
Bite size vs Jaw size/opening angle pretty much tells us the story here. How does any bear get its mouth open far enough to do any appreciable damage to something with a neck like an oil drum and reach for days?

I dont get why people think mammals stand a chance against dinosaur
I agree with your assessment and outcome. I still think the Arctodus could hold its own and potentially win a lucky few encounters, however. It’s incredible how strong modern bears are, so I’d imagine that a large male Arctodus would be one of the last mammals any Carnotaurus would want to bother. This was a very interesting breakdown, so I’d like to suggest some future, similar topics.

What people ALWAYS get wrong about Carnotaurus are it's horns, due to the body of it and it's diet, they're clearly designed for stabbing it's prey while running along side or directly into them in the right angle, also why it's arms are basically not existent because of it's blatant build for ramming at high speeds, and why they were known for not having a high bite force since they can just inflict more greater internal damage to their prey that a simple bite couldn't do, with the ram being aided by the speed and force of the impact when said horns go into their prey to cause said internal damage.
Its more likely that theyre for mate selection than any real pragmatic use.

The bears are used to fighting things their size or smaller. Carnotaurus had to live alongside things that were bigger
Before having even watched this video, I'm going short faced bear all the way.
Yes, i know it is half the size. Doesn't matter.
Carnotaurus had one weapon. It's bite, which wasn't that powerful and it's teeth weren't particularly large. The osteoderms on its body were largely on the back and wouldn't have provided as much protection as people think. I would bet money that the horns were not weapons. If they were, they would have ONLY been used for pushing matches against other carnotaurus' and not against other species for hunting or defense.
The short faced bear on the other hand has more weapons that each do more damage. The bite was much more powerful. The canine teeth were much larger than anything in a carnotaurus' mouth. The paws had huge claws backed by extremely powerful muscles. And not only could it use those paws and claws for extremely powerful blows, easily capable of breaking bones in the carnotaurus, but it could also use them for gripping, ripping, tearing, and most importantly, grappling. As far as defenses, bears have skin like dogs and cats, which is loosely attached to the body, allowing the animal to "move around in its own skin". This may not sound like much, but it is an incredibly effective defensive armor. Anything biting the bear is likely to just get a mouth full of skin folds, making the bite largely ineffective. Anybody with a dog or cat that has ever tried to immobilize their head by holding the neck knows it is nearly impossible to do so.
Now combine that with a very thick layer of subcutaneous fat. So thick that none of the carnotaurus' teeth are long enough to get through it. Not even close.
And as Joe Rogan is famous for saying, bears know judo. Sounds ridiculous and is only a slight exaggeration, but bears regularly perform real grappling moves like hip tosses, head locks, picks, and many others. They are exceptional grapplers.
I see the carnotaurus charging in and biting the bear, getting a mouth full of loose skin, and starts shaking its head thinking it's doing real damage when it isn't. The bear can now turn in its skin, bite onto the carno, easily peircing the scales with its large canines and powerful jaws. The bear would simultaneously wrap its forearms around the carno's neck, twist, pulling it off balance, and dragging it to the ground. And that's it. Once the carno is on the ground, the bear pins it and starts ripping it to pieces, targeting the unarmored belly and neck.
Now after watching the video...
He explained that the carno bite force was much weaker than the bear, but then gave the bite force advantage to the carno?
The carno could not have been more agile than the bear. Pure running speed ≠ agility. The carno was larger, longer, and bipedal. That is a huge lever that needs to pivot around a single point on two legs. A quadrupedal bear half the weight would be much more agile even if it was a slower runner.
A bear standing on two legs is absolutely not in any sort of disadvantage. Just watch bears fighting. They stand on their hind legs on purpose and they are exceptionally stable while doing so. They don't get "knocked over" so easily. Just because they prefer to travel on all 4s doesn't mean they aren't perfectly comfortable and able to fight while on two legs. In fact it is their preferred fighting stance.
So yeah, i say the short faced bear wins 8/10 times.
The short faced bears actually 6 feet tall at the shoulder and 11 feet tall om to legs
1:13 Carnotaurus had a stiff tail.
Disney's dinosaur warped my perception about the true size of the carnotaurus.
If they were close to equal in size I think it's a 50/50 shot as to who wins. Carnotaurus could land a bite on arctodus front limb and from there it might be game over depending on the bite or maybe land a bite on the neck. On the other hand bears regularly bite the ever loving shit out of each other and fight like Olympic Greco-Roman wrestlers. They're much more stable bipedally than given credit for here. If the arctodus came rushing on all fours and stood up quickly as bears often do, it could bite the carnos neck with it's arms wrapped around. Bears power is often severely underestimated in these types of videos and to this day we have no way of accurately measuring their strength, let alone an extinct bear. Just look at the Sloth Bear vs Bengal Tiger. Yes Bengals do kill them but Sloth Bears often return the favor or scare the Tigers off because it's not worth the risk but then they go drop a 2800lbs Guar. Like I said, if it's close in size 50/50 is probably the most likely outcome, or they just give each other a wide birth.
Wrong, there’s multiple problems with this. While yes, they can stand up on their hind legs, the stability isn’t going to be as good as something like Carnotaurus, especially since they don’t have a large muscular tail to keep them stable. This would leave them vulnerable to being knocked over, especially since when intraspecific conflicts, bears tend to get rag dolled when they’re both standing on their hind legs.
Something like Carnotaurus would have far better stability when it comes to bipedal stance, and it’s not even close. Now for the biting, even with that being said, bears aren’t adapted for landing quick and fatal bites like Felids, and to land such a well placed bite, Arctodus is going to have to keep Carnotaurus in a good place.
One could say sure, the bears strength is underestimated but so are dinosaurs and in general macropredatory reptiles like crocodiles, especially when compared to bears.
I should mention as well unlike canine teeth, ziphodont teeth isn’t dependent on going to softer areas such as the neck, they can go for any area, as along as they get a good bite in, it would cause serious bleeding for the animal.
@@denistyrantyou clearly dont know shit about bears.
Majungasaurus or concavenator(although concavenator is not an abelisaurid) would’ve been much more a a fair fight, since you really scaled down the carno.
I feel like a good couple swipes from the bear would make the carno retreat since it would think the fight isn't worth being badly injured
That is how a real situation would go. Predators would not risk their health over nothing, but in a battle to the end, I think the Carno would take it.
@@TheOverseerDebates Agreed, great video boss
Generally yes, but under certain circumstances sometimes predators will risk fighting to the death. When starving and close to death or to protect their young for example.
You should pit a 2 tonne Carnotaurus against a 1.5 tonne Arctotherium.
The video literally mentions why they went with Arctodus simus and not Arctotherium angustidens
Arctotherium anguistidens is 1.1 tonnes
should've done ceratosaurus
You should’ve used arctotherium angustidens instead it’s much bigger than arcrodus
I personally think the bear would run away 100%
If the short-faced bear is mindful of his footwork and can establish his jab he should be able to get the W.

Barinasuchus vs carno? Who would win
That’s an interesting match up. Haven’t looked too deeply into Barinasuchus, however, I think it fairs a lot better than Arctodus simus.
Who wins a Sabertooth Tiger or a Polar Bear?
That’s a good match up. Off the top of my head, due to the size and stamina advantage, I’d give it to the polar bear
Ceratosaurus would have been a fair match up here
i think the carnosaurus would win 8-9 out of every 10 encounters.
we got to remember that the momentum of the carnotarus would also be transferred to the bear, meaning that it most likely would be flung backwards if it got hit, opening up opportunities for the carnotaurus to attack
A 1.3 ton bear could probably wrestle an even heavier carnotaurus with ease. And once the carnotaurus is on the ground it's over. The bear is too intelligent and knows how to fight.
Carno's big advantage would be gone after the initial charge, if the fight ever goes to the ground then the bear would have advantage.
In short it would be decided in a moment, despite being a drawn out encounter.
Next is Siberian Tiger vs Triceratops
The dino has the edge in size and intimidation however -- total lack of arms would be a distinct handicap in a carnivore vs. carnivore duel.
Arms can come in pretty "handy."
I think a lot of texts overestimate the size/weights of a lot of these smaller therapods. Bears are extremely powerful. Like how would it attack the bear. Just charging it? It has literally no arms. Imagine going after a bear with your face. Lets not act like Carnotaurus had some huge jaws either. There's like one almost complete skeleton of Carnotaurus and even then it's not complete. If they actually were 4k lbs then maybe yeah, but A 1500lb plus bear would not be an easy meal. Movies have made people believe these things were huge.
Humungous Apex Dinosaur VS A “Giant” Bear……I do believe it’s pretty obvious who the default winner is.
Carnotaurus would win
@@fukIndianHinduToDeth69 my thoughts exactly.
Do you think a carnotaurus walks away from being struck by a passenger car traveling at 60mph? Because a 7 year old grizzly bear did in alberta canada...
My money is on the bear as it is much more defensible than carnotaurus and has more weapons during the attack. The carno has its jaws, but the bear has complex arms and legs and jaws and it can use them all much more effectively. You cant downplay the defebsive qualities of the fur, the thick hide, and the large layer of blubber which protects critical organs and major blood vessels. The carno falls apart when it comes to its survivability. A "natural" wild encounter has both animals not wanting to fuck with the other, but a forced fight is different and i think the bear would surprise you.

11:19
Look at the matchups this planet used to have
Amazing video and I agree with the outcome but he did get a few things wrong about the carno. For starters the carno was not good at quick turns quite the opposite actually it’s tail was wide and thick but did not have a lot of maneuverability which is what most therapods rely on to turn. Second of all it was not an ambush hunter taking in the fact that it could not turn very quickly means it most likely hunted on open plains where it would pretty much race its prey and bite at it in quick succession until it dropped not one large bite to drop it in one go. And finally I pretty much just said it but it did not rely on its bite force but rather its bite speed to take down prey.
The widdle arms 😂
I honestly believe that bears are nature forces and even smaller they would find a way to win
I wonder what Carno's resting heart rate would be?
Reptiles generally tend to have lower metabolic rates than mammals, leaving them prone to exhaustion after quick bursts of energy.
Caimans have been observed to have resting heart rate in the single digits that rise to the 30s and 40s of bpm when sighting prey.
Conversely, polar bears have a resting heart rate in the 40s and 50s of bpm. This would likely increase during predation and combat, but I haven't found numbers on that.
This would make a big difference in a prolonged fight, with the reptilian Carno tiring out after it's initial attack/struggle.
Fights between similarly sized male Grizzly bears during the mating season can be prolonged encounters. I've seen footage of some lasting well over 10 minutes.
Now I'm unsure if this means the short faced bear would have more stamina than the Carno, given the larger size of the Shortface compared to modern bears.
But if the stark contrast between the metabolic rates of mammals and reptilians applied in this fight, I'd say that the Carno would have a smaller window of opportunity to win than the bear.
Now if the Carno bore a similar metabolic rate to living terrestrial birds like Ostriches or Cassowary, which have resting bpm around the 40s and 50s and a range similar to that of mammals, there wouldn't be as much of a discrepency.
Also for some reason, six flags new england says Carnos may have hunted in packs, although I can't find any other support for that claim. If that was true then the bear would lose as there would likely be more carnos.
It’s very likely Carnotaurus had higher metabolic rates than other reptiles. It was at least an mesotherm, with some studies even suggests that suggests that many dinosaurs were endothermic, having a metabolic rate higher than mammals and closer to that of birds.
Honestly, what I heard is that the short face bear can run up to 60 km/h which is 37 mph however they probably would’ve ran 35
Dinoboy has one chance. He fucks up, that bear is gonna throw him to the ground and fight like a bear.
Carnotaurus can literally do the same thing, especially if the bear decides to stand on it’s hind legs
@@denistyrantbears also have thick fur and fat layers, granting increased mobility under hold.
The thick and loose layers allow them to maneuver even with the claws and jaws of the enemy latched onto them.
The muscular and fatty humps they have also protects their spines from back bites.
I'm inclined to aggree that the Carno's success relies entirely on how effective its initial attack is
@@br3hbmc79 Thick fur and fat layers likely wouldn’t be protective against ziphodont teeth.
Carnotaurus had ziphodont teeth which were perfectly designed to slice through flesh, so thick fur and fat is likely not going to protect the bear. What makes matters worse is the bear wouldn’t be used to an animal with ziphodont teeth, since most if not all of it’s competitors had canines, which mainly rely on puncturing in order to inflict deep wounds, something ziphodont teeth doesn’t have to rely on.
So even if the bear isn’t going to have to worry about the overall power of the bite, it’s going to have to worry about the heavy amount of bloodless the Carnotaurus can inflict with it’s quick bites.
@@denistyrantcarno teeth arent swords... they arent slicing through flesh, they are penetrating for sure, but since theres so much fur, hide, and blubber, they arent going to get deep enough to cause much more than superficial tissue damage.

Carnotaurus: the 2 ton predatory archosaur whose bite-force is equal to that of a Squirrel ! ( by recent estimates)
Carnotaurus being superior when it comes to agility? They likely were very fast in a straight line, but the trade-off likely was lack of agility when going fast.
Bears in general are surprisingly quick, nimble and enduring.
Since when? Plus it will still lose its a bear against a dragon missing its wrings
@@Germain-ys8zz Since they exist, go and watch a fight between bears.
Also, you miss the point, I did not question the outcome.
@@aboomination897 a bear isn’t nimble I’ve seen videos of bears fighting they aren’t exactly dodging much just crashing into each other and throwing a few bites and swings
now do Carnotaurus vs the US army
There are a lot of mentions of carnotaurus being agile, i thougth he was exepcionally stiff while running because of his rigid tail
Carno was designed for speed and eating smaller creatures. If the fight is tipped in the bears favor the carno can just... run away
I think carnotaurus wins, it had a strong bite and it was fast. It's the best of both worlds, the bear will be nothing but lunch for the meat eating bull.
Interesting. I’m Buying It.
Gorilla Vs Rugops
(Small Abelisauridae)
"_Look Like_"
King Kong Vs V-Rex
Rugops can exceed 400kg, it would shred a Gorilla to pieces.
big up the carnataurus. so cool that "saurus" starts with a t instead, for no reason! this dinosaur is about that thug life.
The carnotaurus from Dinosaur and Terra Nova are fucking MASSIVE. Iguanadons are compared to Allosauruses in terms of size and weight. A carnotaurus dwarfing that and standing up to a sauropod is insane. The carnotaurus in Terra Nova is completely faster than a jeep going full speed as it was able to catch up with it in under at least a few seconds. Fiction and movies do carnotaurus clean.
You should make a verses with straight Tusk elephant
I find a short face bear would win this one.
The bear is a bit tanky but the carnotaurus has that and it can cause some crushing+bleeding damage with that skull and those horns.
