Thank you. I try to find good examples in a person's native language to make things easier... but can't always find something good. You have an interesting family.

Exactly! And an explosion will break it up even more.
Another reason why it is not correct is the pattern of "who died." This "comet" killed the short-faced bear (supposedly) but not the grizzly bear which is the same size and ate the same thing and lived in the same area.
If it had caused a climate disaster or other disaster in the area, things with the same food sources and living areas would have all died.
The puzzle is that the creatures that died did so all around the world... but with no real pattern. So a gigantic explosion in the arctic isn't the answer.
