Could a lioness kill a polar bear?
No. A lioness and a polar bear would not meet because one (the lioness) lives in a hot, arid environment and the other (being the polar bear) lives in a very cold dry environment. However, if they did meet, the polar bear may be able to kill the lioness with one single swipe to the head. The lioness, on the other hand, would need other lions and lionesses in order to bring down the polar bear.
