Kleit Zoe Bear 1.4m (extinct)
Kleit Zoe Bear: In November 2012, paleontologists discovered the oldest fossils of giant panda ancestors to date, including jawbones and teeth, dating back 11.6 million years, after Miklos Kretzoi, the paleontologist who discovered another extinct panda population.
Morphological characteristics: The Kleitzoe bear has black and white hair, it is a member of the bear family, weighing no more than 130 pounds (about 60 kilograms), which is roughly the same size as the Malay bear, which is the smallest bear population in existence.
Habits: Fossilized teeth show that the Kleit Zoe bear is an omnivore, but also possesses many of the dental features used to chew hard plants, such as meat, fruit, plant stems, and even leaves.
The reason for the extinction of the Kleit Zoe bear is most likely due to changes in the living environment, drier forests and the influx of larger, more competitive animals.
