Grizzly bear pit fights:
The Californians of the late 19th century staged well-documented pit fights with grizzlies and spanish bulls. The grizzlies, using their paw as a club, shattered the unfortunate bull's skull or shoulder bones so easily that the betting became poor.

Eventually, and at considerable cost, African lions were brought in to raise the stakes. The most fierce of the adult males was sent in whilst the grizzly was already waiting in the pits. The lion was known for bravely charging straight in and looked good for the money, but the grizzly killed a male lion almost as easily as he'd killed the bull.


The Californians never understood why. We now know that it was enormously strong bone density meeting a low density skull. At a range of 4 feet the blow crashed in before the lion could apply the wind pipe lock, which is lion and tiger learnt behaviour for taking down prey animals.

The ferocity of this animal easily matches that of an unsettled African lion.






Grizzly Bear Wins!

Answer 2

There is a video on Youtube, that shows a Cougar (mountain lion) fighting a Black Bear (not a Grizzly), in the wild. The fight ended in a draw, when the bear sort of gave up. He could never get a good lick in on the more agile cat.

Take that up a notch -- a lion is a little more powerful than a cougar, but a griz. is more powerful than a black bear, too. I would say the outcome would be the same -- a draw, with the grizzly getting tired and walking away.

Answer 3

My first effect became the undergo so I did a splash study and shown my opinion. A male lion can weigh as much as 500 pounds. A male grizzly can weigh 1500 pounds yet nevertheless pass around 35 mph. greater importantly, the undergo might have a hugh behavioral benefit. Lionesses hunt, male lions do not with perhaps some exceptions. Male lions often combat basically to verify dominance over a delight or take out yet another delight. Grizzly bears on the different hand might combat over a carcass, alongside with taking over packs of wolves. So hypothetically, the two might desire to be precipitated to combat over nutrients however the male grizzly may well be greater inspired and invested interior the end result. The lion can continuously consume somebody else's kill later. it fairly is stable to be the king.

Answer 4

Grizzly.

1. Size: mass, weight, height
2. Reach
3. Longer claws
4. Jaw power (bite strength for a grizzly is enormously powerful)
5. Aggression (a pi$$d-off griz can fight far more ferociously than any lion alive).

Sorry, Cowardly Lion. Pappa Bear is just too darn big and mean.

Answer 5

A 1000 lbs. 10ft. Grizzley vs 300lbs. 3ft. lion no contest unless the lion gets the grizzley sleeping.

Answer 6

Since Grizzlies hunt on their own and lions especially males are lazy and let the females hunt in groups I would have to give it to the grizzly.

Answer 7

The bear. A grizzly is friggin' massive. Lions are big and all...but against a full-grown grizzly, it would fair very well.

Answer 8

these twcreatures live in totally diferrent habitats. it is almost impossible for them to come alone in contact. but still, if they were fighting for food, the lion would leave. but if the lion was trying to protect its young, it would fight till the end.

Answer 9

The Grizzly, via weight, strength, and endurance advantages...

Answer 10

I vote on the grizzly.
