I wish we still had the Giant Bear's:
Had to add this picture, had me wondering WTF was going on there:

The Giant Short-Faced Bear (Arctodus simus) had the ability to run on his two long hind legs, and may have reached a running speed of 40 miles per hour! It would have been a frightening sight, as this bear stood five feet tall on four legs, but rose to 12 feet when standing up. It lived in the western US, Canada, and Alaska.
