Polar bear vs Grizzly bear

[BudAshes]

Here is a better argument; Velociraptor vs Kodiak Bear.

Kodiak Bear is bigger and has bone crushing strength, but the velociraptor is quicker and has long nasty spiked claws.

raptors traveled in packs according to jurassic park.

Aquatic attack tigersnull will own both of them.

I'd like to see a cage fight between say, a small gorilla and the winner of the MetRx World's Strongest Man competition.

The bear, real velociraptors were only as tall as your knee.

Grizzly has 6-9" claws. And it's far bigger and stronger than a Raptor Raptor would have a speed advantage if Jurassic Park is to be believed....but nobody really knows that for sure.

Regardless, the raptor had better hit and run, because if the Grizzly gets its paws on it, the raptor is dead.

the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a bear native to the Arctic Ocean and its surrounding seas. The world's largest predator found on land, an adult male weighs around 300?600 kg (660?1320 lb),

Therefore, it would appear as though they are fairly comparable.

Um, the kodiak why was it not considered.

Can range from 1,200 ? 1,500 lbs. and up to 11ft. tall.

Those are big ones but still. I think Kodiak FTW

Further the Kodiak Brown bear is in fact a type of Grizzly so your friend is incorrect.

Its still a retarded thing to argue about though.

The difference between a kodiak and a grizzly, is kodiaks spend most of their time near the coast, grizzlys spend most of their time up in mountains. They are, as Captante pointed out, the same type of bear.

Back to topic. While grizzlys have much larger claws, and heavier muscle in the limbs, Polar bears are much more agressive. The most likely outcome of a confrontation between the two is the grizzly would flee, upon seeing the polar bear aggressively approaching, before the polar bear got within striking distance.

Grizzlys/kodiaks and polar bears are known to mate and produce offspring from time to time.

Not sure this is quite true, it might be true for human/bear encounters, but I think the opposite is true for bear/bear encounters.

I think we also need to consider a few things. Average polar bear vs. average brown bear I say polar bear wins. But if we're considering the biggest/baddest polar bear vs. biggest/baddest grizzly/kodiak bear then I say its the grizzly/kodiak that wins.

A fully grown grizzly is almost as big as a Polar bear. The grizzly bear will have larger claws and is built for confrontation. The Polar Bears usually are fighting aquatic animals such as seals and walrus...

Are you saying Walrus are a weak test?

The OP needs to go to a local zoo and pick a fight with both a grizzly and a polar bear to be sure.

They do, but not very often, adult walrus are generally too big for them.

They're also somewhat compatible. I've read that they've been known to rarely mate when the Polar Bears travel across the ice to Canada in the summer for food.

Polar bears are larger, but not twice as large, unless you do something stupid and compare an adult polar bear to a grizzly cub or something.

Talk about a hypocrite.
