You once did have them— all over Texas.
There was one man (can’t remember his name) way back in the day who traveled all over Texas and other SW states killing all the bears.Don’t know why, except maybe he made money off the pelts and liked eating bear meat.
There were also Jaguars in some of the SW states bordering Mexico in the early days. Your tooth could be a trade item as well.

Tusk from a peccary or wild pig?
