If Arctodus was a generalist across the continent's broadest strokes, what did that suggest about its essential survival requirements?
Answer
They were met in diverse areas like the Beringian north, midwestern plains, and southwestern borderlands.
The ability to be found across diverse terrains, from Beringia to the southwestern borderlands, suggests that the essential requirements for its survival were met across a wide array of geographical settings.
