A Giant Short Faced Bear would go after rotting flesh: it eats dead critters. Even those Giant Short Faced Bears that lived in Texas, where it was far from always being under snow during the Ice Age, would eat rotting corpses, even nothing but bones. It lived like Hyena or a Vulture, eating the dead, rotting or frozen.

I find it hard to believe that most handguns could prove effective against the Giant Short Faced Bear, but there are some specialized fat revolvers that are designed to do the trick with modern bears. I've seen them at a Cabela's hunting store, and I can only imagine what it could do to a person, or for that matter, a Zombie.

And as has been written previously here, the Zombie Virus most likely will not infect the Bear. Most movies the Zombie virus or plague infects only human beings.
