so, after lengthy debate, we've all agreed a tiger would defeat a lion in similar physical condition in a one-on-one fight. however another thought has occured to me? what about a polar bear?

a tiger is much faster and would kill the fucker before it had a chance to even lumber over to it

Polar bear has tons of fats though. Unless its a good bite on the neck, the bear might maul the tiger and kill it first.

Polar bear would hem it.Big ones weigh twice as much as a large tiger.

Bears always win these sort of fights, unless the tiger is smart enough to make run for it (as they will in nature). A bear can shatter the spine of the tiger with just one hit of its paw.

Humans tend to underestimate the speed bears are capable of, just because they look like big lumbering lummoxes under all that hair and fat. Bears are not coach potatoes, they are dangerous predators that have that fat for a reason.

Kodiak wins. "The largest Kodiak bear on record was a male taken in 1894 that weighed 1,656lbs/745kgs!" Not quite as big as a polar bear, but scarier looking.

who would win in this fight: a gorilla or a grizzly bear?

not true. my boyfriend used to brush the teeth of a 2,000lbs+ kodiak with meat flavored tooth paste.
I think that's also the bear that had been shot in the head and lived, but was kinda retarded and couldn't take care of himself.

I wonder if I non-retarded bear would have let him do that.

Polar Bear. Yea it has fat. It has too. It also has a shit load of muscle too swing that fat around at high speeds.

Gorillas don't stand a chance against almost any predator. They are only strong when compared to humans.

What I'm curious about is Jaguar vs. Tiger.

It's actually pretty common in pet stores. Liver? Chicken? Beef? Yeah, whatever you want, baby.

Truth. Also did other badass animal fights.

In my opinion:

Killer whale (when in water)>Polar bear (=most other bears)>Sharks (in water)>Tigers>Large Snakes>Lions and Panthers>Seals(males)>Killer bees (a swarm)>Crocs/alligators (in water)>Komodo Dragons>Giant/Colossal Squid>Wolves (pack; hungry)>Gorillas>Human (with basic tools)

BTW: Komodo dragons may be deadly, but they're slow, lazy, and their main killing method can be treated with antibiotics. And there's a species of Wasps native to Japan that i would have included if i could remember what they are called (Several dozen of them can kill an entire european bee colony)

Tigers beat lions? I missed that debate.

Can anyone summarise for me why that is?

Koreans take lions and tigers and put them in a pit to fight. Siberian tigers refuse to fight so they are replaced with Bengal tigers. Bengal tigers being just as crazy as Koreans make short work of lions.

Bengal tigers are crazy motherfuckers.

"The Sundarbans are home to approximately 500 Bengal Tigers as of 2004, one of the largest single population of tigers. These tigers are well-known for the substantial number of people they kill; estimates range from 100-250 people per year.
...
Fishermen and bushmen make facial masks to wear on the back of their heads, because tigers always attack from behind. This worked for a short time, but the tigers quickly realized it was a hoax, and the attacks continued. Government officials wear stiff pads that rise up the back of the neck, similar to the pads of an American football player. This is to prevent the tigers from biting into the spine, which is their favored attack method."

polar bears kick almighty ass
but a Black Rhino is probably the most all round winner imo

also Giraffe > All big cats, even in packs.

I'm a big fan of tigers, especially Siberians but the simple fact is that a Polar Bear is huge, fast (although not as fast as the tiger so it could run away) and much stronger than people seem to be giving them credit for.

A tiger could win against the lesser bears but a polar bear or grizzly is pretty much always going to win unless the tiger gets lucky.

Also, tigers fuck lions up. Not really aware of another predator who could take a tiger on land 1v1.

Have any of you actually seen a polar bear? Fucking Gigantic. I've seen some around Hudson Bay from the inside of a bus.

Granted, a tiger is a vicious killing machine in it's own right, but a polar bear is the mightiest killing machine on land. Those fuckers scoop seals that weigh hundreds of pounds right out of the ocean with one paw.

I honestly don't think this conflict would ever occur in nature, but it would be messy.

It wouldn't, because the tiger would run away if faced with a polar bear. They may be mighty predators, but they're not stupid.

"Also, tigers fuck lions up. Not really aware of another predator who could take a tiger on land 1v1."

if a giraffe was a preadator this statement would be wrong.
although considering most large cats work in prides when hunting and that a large proportion of there hunts are actually unsuccessful i don't consider them to be that bad ass. They are cool tho xD

The big cats arnt really all that tough when compared to the non predator side of animals. Rhino 4tw, those things fuck shit up.
Elephants Trees Jeeps Walls anything really.

"they weigh up to 4,000 lb, some have had horns recorded as up to 5 feet long" and white rhinos are even bigger.

I'd be interested to see how tiger vs. giraffe turned out.

One of lions' problems is they can't quite jump up on the back of the giraffe. If they could I think you would see them taking out giraffes.

Tigers can be bigger and jump farther/higher so they should have no problem making it onto the back which leaves the neck an easy target. Of course giraffes live on the savannah and there's not much to hide behind there.....
