Can Any Land Animal Beat a Grizzly Bear in a Fight? - Page 2

I dunno, in my mind bulls are hamburgers or for rodeos where men ride them for fun, so I can't see them winning.

And that hippo video shatters my idea of what wildlife in Africa is like as it is portrayed for sensation. That was strange to watch.

Salt water Crocodiles

23'+ long 4400lb+ for top tier specimens.

Have recorded tiger kills by smaller members (think a 1/4th of that weight)

furo, whats up with this thread?

idk, but these vids are redonk.

this walrus didnt do shit.

wasnt there a thread from a few years ago with a similar theme? i.e. which animal can kick this animal's ass?

Here we are:

Grizzly/Polar Bear vs Tiger

If orca's had legs...

Stop talking about water animals, please per your own requisites.

I think we have to sensible about this: the animal must be of at least near equal weight and agility, this is the hardest thing to accomplish. grizzly bears are very nimble for their size.

It's not silly. Just choosing a massive animal is silly if it cant be agile enough to at least avoid the grizzly, something smaller, no matter how nimble and agile wouldn't pack enough of a punch, like say a wild boar. Wild boars are fierce, but the grizzly is simply too big.

And hippos are land animals as much as water animals. Walruses are no land animals, clearly.

With hippos, it's really only during the night when the human fatalities occur; usually when one goes down to the river to draw water.

I'd say if any animal were to take down a grizzly it would be a bull elephant or possibly the rhino, though its low height could put it at a disadvantage. The elephant's hide is just too thick, the tusks too large and it's neck muscles which swing them too strong, and finally just the sheer inertia of a charging elephant would flatten a grizzly, or anything else in its path.

If a mountain gorilla could get one unrestricted blow in before getting swiped by a grizzly paw, it might have an advantage as they are just insanely strong, but it'd have to be a blow to the head or heart and a damn good one.

Being a member of the Brookfield Zoo here in Chicago, the wife and I go there pretty frequently and they've got this Great Bear Wilderness exhibit that has a grizzly there. His swimming pool goes right up to the observation glass and one day while we were there he dove right into the pool (very gracefully I might add) and landed right in front of the glass. At that range, seeing the sheer enormity of his head (it was like the size of mini-fridge) reinforced my respect for a beast like that.

Still, I give the advantage to the elephant.

why hasn't anyone mention polar bear?

I would guess they would be evenly matched, on paper at least.

I loved that movie when it came out:
