Is the Atlas Bear a true species? I think that it was only a North-African subspecies of Brown Bear, and its scientific name may be Ursus arctos crowtheri.-- Menah the Great 00:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
On another note I have changed "Tetuan Mountains" to "Rif Mountains", as the Tetuan Mountains do not exist. Tetouan is a city in the Rif range. Elostirion ( talk) 04:41, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
"Nonetheless, as the known distribution of the Atlas bear is a relict of the desertification of the Sahara"
No, the bear never occured there. I plan to edit this out.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Raggz ( talk • contribs)
What's the significance of this statement being in the lede? As it seems to be speaking of a different population/species of bear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rowd149 ( talk • contribs) 21:57, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
Is there anywhere available for these purported cave paintings of polar bears in Andalusia? I've removed the bit about it being a short swim for Poplar bears to North Africa as this is just original research claim in this context. 2001:8F8:1F22:D10F:2:3:DB33:DA6A ( talk) 17:38, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
