Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix I; U. S. ESA - Endangered as U. t. gedrosianus; IUCN - Critically Endangered as U. t. gedrosinus, otherwise Vulnerable
Comment:
Comments: Placed in subgenus Selenarctos by Gromov and Baranova (1981); and in subgenus Euarctos by Thenius (1979). Allen (1938) suggested a close relationship to U. americanus; Pocock (1932a) retained in a separate genus -- there is molecular support for both positions (Goldman et al., 1989). Synonyms allocated according to Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951)
