Black ring-like markings mask its eyes. \n'b' The short-faced bear-usually known simply as the \xe2\x80\x9clong bear\xe2\x80\x9d or the \xe2\x80\x9cgreat bear\xe2\x80\x9d by the tribes who share their home-is one of the largest and most aggressive carnivores of the continent, and one of the biggest bears that has ever lived. Only the largest cave bears (or dire bears) top it in size and weight. A typical short-faced bear stands about 5-1/2 feet high at the shoulder and weighs more than 2,500 pounds. Standing upright, it towers almost 11 feet tall. \n'b' Long-legged and tall, the short-faced bear is only distantly related to its brown bear or cave bear cousins. \n'b' It is a fast sprinter with good endurance, and usually runs down its prey on open ground. The bear is also known to aggressively drive lesser predators from their kills, and mammoth hunters in the Lands of the Long Shadow frequently have a harder time dealing with a scavenging bear than killing the mammoth in the first place.'
