I've read something about old cage matches where a Siberian Tiger won almost every match where it was put against a Polar Bear. (Tigers also beat lions easily?)This is not even comic book related...but this is one of the most interesting topics here. 😛
a siberian tiger vs a pack of wolfs would still be the victor.
full grown siberian tiger would beat a polar bear.
siberain tigers in pit fights were so un a fraid of lions that they would actauly just lay there, almost mocking the lion to attack.
almost every single time the lion attacked it would die extremely fast.
A wolf would kill a Pit.
but that a Wolf would beat any domestic dog?
This isn't true. Up until a century and a half ago, England, Ireland and Scotland still had wolves.
How did we fend them off?
Irish Wolfhounds.
Irish Wolfhounds are the biggest (tallest) dog, they're fast for their size and though normally very gentle, they're very very VERY fierce when protecting their master.
They're massively powerful and they can and HAVE defeated MORE than one wolf by themselves in the past.
I have herd of Wolfhounds giving up their life to save their master, taking with them up to THREE wolves before they die.
Irish Wolfhounds are affectionate companions. Their main problems are that they ten to live only very young. Most don't make it to 8 or 9 years old. 🙁
They're amazing dogs.

a couple highly trained ones can take a bear
And Spider Man can beat Galactus

Irish wolf hound is an example of a dog that was bred for fighting wolves...has much better chances than the pit bull.Regardless, the multiple breeds of wolf hound and the English Mastiff, a very old breed of dog that was perfected by the Romans for fighting exotic animals like lions still lack the tools.
These dogs were all meant to gang up on other animals. Instead of being destructive they are meant to hold down their quarry. Although some people might be impressed with the nature of a pit bull, all it is built for is holding onto another animal...not to kill it. Although it can be trained to kill, its physiology is built for latching on: overdeveloped large slow twitch jaw muscles, short wide agromaglic features, wrinkled snout allows blood to run away from its eyes...Wolves dont have these features because they are built to kill and eat what it fights....the pressure exerted by their jaws greatly exceeds that of a pit bull because its not meant to latch on...its meant to crush bone.
The Hyena is the only canine with more powerful jaw muscles than a wolf...Its not as graceful...but Hyenas are also pretty intelligent because they demonstrate similar behavior to wolves. Where the wolf would beat the pit bull 10/10 times it may only beat the Hyena 6/10 times. The reason I say this is the wolf is a little more divergent in specifically hunting and killing. Hyenas are so successful because they are so efficient at scavenging and oportunistically stealing prey in a pack from larger, faster, more skilled hunters...they've also demonstrated some omnivorous like behaviors. Wolves are very resilient even though they were hunted to near extinction and live in the harshest of environments...instead of relying on other behaviors like scavenging or diversifying their diet, they hunt until they find something to kill. Thus I say the wolf still slightly edges out the Hyena.
A Hyena is not a canine. There are two forms of carnivores in taxonomy. Caniforms (Bears, wolves, weasels) and Feliforms (cats, hyenas). Hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs.
u honestly don't know about animals. hell i read many things on both. even in animal face off which had the cougar win it said that wolf was faster and strnger a long with a better bite and better fighting skill. the only reaosn the cougar won was because for some stupid ass reason the wolf fell off the edge lol
The wolverine is a stocky and muscular omnivorous (but largely carnivorous) animal. It has glossy brownish-black hair with strips of light brown along the sides. The fur is long and dense and does not retain much water. This makes it very resistant to frost in the cold environment wolverines live in. The wolverine can weigh up to 30 kg (66 lb) (male), and is 70–110 cm (27–43 in) long with a 20 cm (8 in) tail. It resembles a small bear with a long tail. It is considered to be very strong and ferocious and has been known to kill animals as large as a moose. In fact, its preference for reindeer have caused it to be hunted significantly in areas depending economically on caribou herds, to the extent that its existence might be considered to be in danger in some regions. It is generally not aggressive towards humans, preferring to avoid human contact. However, because a wolverine will attack an animal caught in a trap, early trappers often tried to kill them. They have been known (and been filmed) to capture kills from other predators, such as polar bears or a wolf pack.

Zebras are the animals that cause most injuries to zoo workers. 😂
What about ostriches? I saw a film where one kicked an lion's stomach open and killed it.
Ostriches live in nomadic groups of 5 to 50 birds that often travel together with other grazing animals, such as zebras or antelopes. They mainly feed on seeds and other plant matter; occasionally they also eat animals such as locusts. Lacking teeth, they swallow pebbles that help to grind the swallowed foods in the gizzard. They can go without water for a long time, exclusively living off the moisture in the ingested plants. However, they enjoy water and frequently take baths.With their acute eyesight and hearing, they can sense predators such as lions from far away.
In popular mythology, the ostrich is famous for hiding its head in the sand at the first sign of danger. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder is noted for his descriptions of the ostrich in his Naturalis Historia, where he describes the ostrich and the fact that it hides its head in a bush. There have been no recorded observations of this behavior. A common counter-argument is that a species that displayed this behavior would not likely survive very long. The myth may have resulted from the fact that, from a distance, when ostriches feed they appear to be burying their head in the sand because they deliberately swallow sand/pebbles to help grind up their food. When lying down and hiding from predators, the birds are known to lay their head and neck flat on the ground. When threatened, ostriches run away, but they can also seriously injure with kicks from their powerful legs.
Ostriches are classified as dangerous animals in Australia, the US and the UK. There are a number of recorded incidents of people being attacked and killed. Big males can be very territorial and aggressive and can attack and kick very powerfully with their legs. An ostrich will easily outrun any athlete.
So they are pretty fast.
They should make a superhero who was attacked by a radioactive ostrich.
Superhuman kicking ability!
Superhuman senses!
Superhuman running ability!
Able to hide his whole body by hiding his head, making him...
MASTER OF DISGUISE!
