Polar Bear vs African Lion

Sorry, forgot to mention that the Cobra is wearing a down-filled Cobra jacket (with cobra insignia on back).

RE-GO!!!

LOL the wolverine has a chance of killing it without being bitten. The volume of venom in a bite is so variable that the cobra can’t rely on single strike. Even if it does inject enough venom to kill, that doesn’t the wolverine instantly. Either way, the wolverine mauls the cobra.

Saw a documentary nature program about orcas verse great white sharks. The orca, who they knew had just eaten, stalked the white, rammed it and then held it upside down (which puts the shark in a passive state - something about hormones flooding the brain) and kept it there until it drowned. Then they said it was a blood explosion as the orcas ripped the shark in two.

Summary, orcas (killer whales) verse great white shark, winner is the orca.

Male lions can’t run as fast. Males are built to fight, females to run.

I saw that too. It’s crazy how smart whales and dolphins are. On that Planet Earth show (it might have been the other one that Oprah did the voiceover for) they showed these dolphins that would swim really fast in shallow water and stir up rings of dirt. The fish in the middle of the rings would freak out and try to jump out and the dolphins would just sit there and catch them out of the air.

like the OP said, it aint going to happen, so who really cares??

Females are not the hunters of the pride. This was a belief before they started following lions at night when the male lions turn it on. The females will hunt during the day because they are typically hungrier.

On-T:

  1. The polar bear would win.
  2. Couldn’t bring myself to read the whole thread: someone mention panthera hybrids, yet? Not that this has anything to do with the thread. Yes, Semant-o-Nazi, here.

Off-T:
This thread is infested with smart assery. Par excellence.
WWW at its finest - I like it.

Sometimes I miss the (g)olden days of newsgroups. A generous dash of GAL is usually enough to kill of that nostalgia, though.

Clearly. It’s really no contest. The orca is larger and far more intelligent. That’s two HUGE advantages.

Polar bear will beat Tiger, and tiger will beat lion.

A polar bear is twice the size of a tiger and a male tiger is 100 lb heavier than a male lion.

Polar will beat the cats for sure. Tiger is likely to beat a lion. Lion beats lioness, no doubt it.

What I am interested is Liger, which is bigger than lion and tiger combined. I wonder who is stronger, a liger or a polar bear.

What if the lion has lasers?

I don’t think a polar bear would stand a chance against a tiger OR a lion. The polar bear is larger, but it’s claws are blunt and they don’t typically take on anything bigger than a seal. They just don’t have the fighting experience that a lion or a tiger has. Sure, their immense size is an advantage, but that doesn’t really mean shit considering how much faster a lion and a tiger is. The polar bear won’t be able to eviscerate a lion/tiger with his claws, so he’d have to be able to literally grab ahold of the feline and crush its head with his jaws. That ain’t happening, because a lion or tiger would just eviscerate the polar bear. Those cats take on some pretty gnarly shit, whereas a polar bear pretty much is just a hunter of seals who don’t offer much of a fight at all. It would be like putting Andre the Giant in the ring with Cain Velasquez.

Yeah, but how would a polar bear fare against a Woolfe?

:wink:

Polar bear twice the size of a tiger?

Not a Siberian Tiger. Which can kill Brown bears mind you and last time I checked, Brown bears were huge.

Females hunt in packs. Males have different roles. But males do hunt, contrary to popular opinion. If a male tiger is capable of hunting, and they weigh the same as if not more than a male lion, then the male lion is perfectly capable of hunting. The males take care of other males trespassing on their territory. The males also take care of the hienas.

Ask yourself this, the females hunt but the males always eat first. why is that? Cause the males are the leaders. Females hunt, cause their are many more females in a pride than males.

The average size Orca is alot larger than the average size Great white. You take an equal size great white against an orca, the great white would win.
