North American Grizzly Bear vs Siberian Tiger

[maracho]

Probably come down to the individual and/or the first good swing.

When my grandpa was a boy he saw an escaped leopard take the arm off of a very entertaining gorilla like it was nothing. He said it made him cry. Ive also heard that grizzlies are known to behead horses with one swipe

Alaskan bears are Kodiak's not grizzlies. They are literally the size of polar bears except just 300 lbs lighter, and polar bears and currently the largest land carnivore in the world.

kodiak bears are brown bears, aka grizzly bears! they're extremely similar to inland bears physiologically. the big difference is diet and geographic isolation. they've only been separated from the mainland grizzly population for 10000 years or so. genealogically that is not a long time [basically nothing,] certainly not enough time for a species to divert from the mainland grizzly.

also, polar bears can be as large as 2500 lbs, which is significantly larger than a kodiak bear. the kodiak bear's population hasn't taken the hit that the polar bear's has taken due to glacial and ice recession, so you have more healthy, bigger bears.


the point in talking about the kodiak bear was to make sure that tigerboy, who was cherry picking the largest tiger on the planet to fight grizzly on the small side in the context of the entirety of the population.


sure, a small bear will lose to a giant tiger. probably just run away, really. animals don't fight ot the death like you see in movies. but if you're talking about the biggest tiger on the planet you might as well not cherrypick a grizzly bear that's half the size of a grizzly bear [yes, it's a f3cking grizzly bear] that lives on the kodiak archipelago.

bear class dismissed!

this is so wrong .

adult grizzly bears have as much as ten inches of fat under their skin, and incredibly thick fur. a tiger gonna kill it with one swipe doe.


it's gonna come down to the predator that's 800 lbs bigger than the other predator being 800 lbs bigger than the other predator

But we are talking about the North American Grizzly to which it specifies the geographical range of bears in the central of North America. Of course Alaskan Kodiak's are too big. They will enjoy a 700 lbs advantage, but a Grizzly can only have 150-300.

But we are talking about the North American Grizzly, not the Kodiak.

have you literally not even read the wikipedia on grizzly bears ?

dog i live this life. don't step to me. kodiak bears are north american grizzly bears. you'll literally only have ot get through the first paragraph on the wiki page to learn that. again, don't step to the bear don.

kodiak is not a grizz.. they're all consider brown bears but there is a difference between a brown bear, a grizz and a kodiak. kodiaka's are native to alaska.

Practially all bears can interbreed but Grizzlies are the pit bulls of the bear world

But Tigers are a bit more dependant upon killing big game with one mighty sweep where as grizzlies are more omnivore

NE.. kodiak, ussuri, grizzly are all brown bears if you know about bears then you'll know that for sure.. they are a different sub species because of the minor physiological changes it underwent over the years to adapt to its food source, environment etc..
It's like comparing African Savanna and Forest(Kenyan) elephants.. Savanna elephants are bigger and has different dietary requirements..
Kodiak's are the biggest of brown bears and North American(Grizzly) are their smaller cousins..
