Grizzy bear facts
1 they can break a deer or horse's neck with one swipe of their paw.
2 has been know to break a bulls back with only three swipes.
3 been shown to cave in a cow's skull.
4 its bone and muscle density is ten times that of a humans bone and muscle density
5 it took 20 full grown bulls to take down one Grizzly bear.
( the Grizzy bear killed all but one bull before it finally went down. )
6 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.
7 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.

Ive seen footage of a bear and tiger fight. Bear reared up and the tiger circled and went for the side of the neck. A lot of posturing from the bear, but the tiger finished it. These animal fights should never happen, but unfortunately man makes it happen.
Pretty sad when you think about it.
I see where you're coming from but still...

Seriously, your thoughts?I've thought long and hard about this, and I must go with the Bear. Strength and height advantage.
