The Short-Faced Bear! "Rangier and longer legged than any bear today, it was about five feet at the shoulders when walking and stood as tall as 12 feet on its hind legs. Unlike pigeon-toed modern bears, its toes pointed straight forward, enabling it to walk with a fast, purposeful gait. It probably could run over 40 miles per hour despite weighing over 1500 pounds.
So, you're going to take out the garbage and you hear something turning your car over. I don't think that softball bat by the front door is going to be much help.
