Read the following extract and fill the table.
Bears or ursines as a class are a relatively new evolutionary development in the animal kingdom. The classification of bears as a group, in literature over the years, has at times been confusing and even controversial. According to Roger A. Caras, most bears are remarkably similar to each other, with the exception of a few species like the Indian sloth bear, the South American spectacled bear and the Arctic polar bear. The following list of genera might make broad classifications. Simpler-Brown bears (Ursus) that inhabit North America and Eurasia; Spectacled bears (Tremarctos) from South America : Sun bears (Helarctos) from South-East Asia; Asiatic black bears (Selenarctos), inhabiting the middle to far East of Asia; American black bears (Eurarctos)from the North American continent; Sloth bears (Melursus) of India: and Polar bears (Thalarctos) from the Arctic.
