Who do you think would win between the unlikely battle of a grizzly bear vs. killer whale?

Question

Let's say the whale was in about 5 feet (or whatever would be needed to survive and swim a little) of water and the bear was fully grown.

Answer 1

Orca hands down because the bear would be useless in deep water..

Answer 2

My money is on the killer whale. Pound for pound it would wreck a Grizzly. Since, just based on size and power difference, the Whale has a distinct advantage. A grizzly is typically 8 feet long (or tall when standing) and wieghs roughly 800 pounds (But top out at about 1,100 lbs). A Killer whale weighs in at about 16000 pounds and average 25 feet long. In sheer size that puts a killer whale ahead. Given enough water to support that weight, the grizzly is doomed. If you used a larger sub-species of brown bear like the Kodiak, then this might have been closer since the massive Kodiak is almost 12 feet long/ tall and weighs at least 1,200 pounds. But the Orca wins this one.


I think you should pitch this to Spike TV anyways.... they like this kind of thing!

Answer 3

The whale. You can still drown in a shallow depth of water. Here’s what happens: the whale grabs the bear by one limb (in its jaws) and turns over. (The whale doesn’t have any equivalent limbs for the bear to grab.) Though polar bears—oh, you said grizzly, Ok, but let me complete the thought. Polar bears are supposed to be able to hold their breath for a long time, but I doubt that the bear (polar or otherwise) can hold it’s breath when it’s screaming with pain as its paw is being bitten off.

So the bear does not hold its breath and can be drowned. The whale simply rolls over. If there is sufficient dept of water for it to swim, it can do that.

Answer 4

5ft the whale would suffacte under it's own weight lets say about 7 feet then it's on now a grizzly would get some bits in but when the orca gets that leg it's over the whales to strong.Now a polar bear would get on it's back and wreck it but like I said that orca is too powerful with it's thrashing in water.

Answer 5

Killer whlae wins hands down!!

A Grizzly bear wouldn't have the ability to holds its breath under water and one good chomp on a leg or front arm and Mr. Grizzly is waterlogged toast. Go ORCA! Go!

Answer 6

Killer whale. I believe there are occasional instances where a killer whale would come across a bear or other large mammal in the ocean, and eat it. So the killer whale would probably win.

Answer 7

given your imaginative facts, I'm not sure but realistically an orca is at least 7 ft at birth. Orcas live in pods so the young would be protected by adult oras and seeing as an adult orca gets to be about 27-33 feet long and weigh more than 8,000-12,000 pounds the orca would no doubt win.

Answer 8

I remember you from the wrestling section and I've answered this question before and I'd say a Grizzly Bear would win

Answer 9

It depends. Are they in the ocean or on land?
