Bear pepper spray has an outstanding record of success against charging grizzly bears, being virtually 100 percent effective if the spray is actually used as it was designed. Researchers have shown that bear pepper spray is 97 percent effective against grizzly bears, while firearms are only 60 percent effective against grizzlies (2008 Brigham Young University study of bear encounters in Alaska from 1985 to 2006). With firearms, you stand a 40 percent chance of being injured, while with bear pepper spray you stand only a 3 percent chance of being injured.
You need to be an expert shot with any firearm before taking it into grizzly bear country. Most people are not willing to practice enough to attain expert status with any kind of firearm. If you can't consistently put three rapid shots into a four-inch circle at 25 yards from a standing position, forget the shotgun, rifle, and the pistol, and carry bear pepper spray instead. Bear pepper spray shoots a wide pattern that makes it a lot easier to hit your target than with a firearm.
A pack of lions can kill any bear, a hungry tiger, a pack of wolves, and a hunter with a rifle.
no, it doesn't kill them it just hurts their eyes just like it would with a human.
Bear spray.
Yes, with a clean shot and a lot of luck. However, there are bears and bears. A black bear may weigh 300 pounds. A polar bear, 1,500 pounds. Bear spray is a much more effective protection against bears. When I have been in serious bear country in Alaska, I carried bear spray and a 12 g. shotgun loaded with slugs.

No. A platypus cannot kill a bear. Not only would it not have the claws, teeth or size to kill a bear, but there are no bears in Australia.
Well bears are big and fierce animals nothing besides a human can kill a bear unless the bear is sick or disease another animal has a chance to kill a bear.
Yes, any types of bears can kill you.
Considering bears don't like it I wouldn't try it
Grizzly bears can and will kill black bears to claim for territory, but would not necessarily eat them.
Yes. Polar bears are bigger, more beastly, and stronger than brown bears.
Yes, but bears only kill wolves if it is persistent on protecting its carcass and the wolf is harassing the bear. Bears will also attempt to kill or maim a wolf if it is threatening the life of a sow's cubs. Black bears are larger and stronger than a wolf is, which is enough to enable such a beast (the bear) to kill a wolf.
no it just keeps them away from u or just for a few minutes
Yes because it can spray poison at it.
