Overview

[edit]

This cladogram is based on molecular phylogeny of six genes in Flynn, 2005.[1]

Carnivora  

Superfamily

[edit]

Below is a cladogram based on McKenna and Bell (1997) classification,[2] including the phylogeny of extant bear species based on complete mitochondrial DNA sequences from Yu et al. (2007),[3] and further extended using information from other wikipedia pages.
