A Grizzly Bear is big but, if you measure them side by side, the Polar Bear is seven inches taller than the Grizzly Bear.

Are grizzly bears the most dangerous bear?

The answer is based on perception. While one person may fear black bears the most, another may fear grizzly or polar bears. It depends on where you live and what species of bear you are exposed to and what your background and experience are. I live in an area that has both black and grizzly bears and although I do not fear them, I definetly respect them. There is a difference between fear and respect.


Considering the grizzly and polar bear to be of the same mass which one would win a fight?

Grizzily will kill a polar bear in a confrontation, brown bears are more powerful in front & in the jaws. Polars are not equipped to kill a grizzily but a grizzily is equipped to kill and eat a polar. Grizzs will eat anything!


Can a walrus kill a polar bear?

Definitely. A polar bear is much bigger and stronger than a grizzly bear, when it has sharper claws, stronger jaws, and is a better killer.Large male polar bears are larger than male grizzlies. However, since the grizzly is a race of the brown bear, which has specimens as large as polar bears, it's hard to say. The race called grizzly bear is somewhat smaller than the coastal race called Kodiak bear. There exists video of a grizzly bear driving polar bears away from a garbage dump.

Polar bear vs gorilla?

Although a gorilla is one of the strongest land animals on the planet, the polar bear has 6 inch claws that could easily tear a silverback to shreds before it could get a good enough punch on it. polar bears are also larger then gorillas giving quite an advantage. So definitely the polar That's correct but I'll give the answer in more detail, An adult male Polar bear can be 10 feet (3 metres) on its hind legs, they can weight up to 680 kg and lift a weight equivalent to two tonnes. An adult male Silver back gorilla can weight up to 230 kg, and can lift the equivalent of 500 kg of weight. Male silverbacks are usually between 5'9-6'2 feet tall (1.5-1.7 metres). A polar bear is carnivorous and therefore has powerful canines and jaws, whilst a gorilla is herbivorous but yet has hundreds of muscles throughout the body. Due to the polar bears' size, weight and diet it would have to win; as it's triple a gorillas MAXIMUM weight, polar bears have alot of fur and blubber, and finally razor sharp 5 inch claws would allow it to rip the ape to shreds. Also, gorillas do not punch, rather they throw stuff or grab in order to defend itself, so grabbing at a polar bear's thick fur is definitely no defense against those sharp claws and teeth. Definitely the polar bear would win. Polar bears are very huge in size compared with gorillas and have strong claws/jaws that could easily destroy the gorilla. Since gorillas only throw sticks/stones, pound their chests, or tear with their powerful hands, a gorilla would be dead after the deadly swipes.

Are brown bears more dangerous than black bear?

No. The two bears are just as dangerous. The bear is a vry unpredictable creature. It is also very powerful. Many people survive Grizzly Bear attacks. This is mainly because the bear assumes the threat is not that major and it goes away. Some times they get confused and wander away after they attack. As well they can be scared by loud noises or retaliation of many sorts. Grizzly's may even skirt away by simply shouting at them. However a Polar Bear rarely gets confused or scared away after they strike. Once a Polar Bear feels the threat is removed it will continue to maul and then eat you. Normally Polar Bears don't stop simply because you play dead. A grizzly will often stop the attack if it thinks you're dead or of no threat at all. Polar bears are generally in it for the kill. Grizzly's very, very rarely actually "hunt" humans. They eat meat, just a polar bears do but humans are generally not on their list as prime prey for eating. A Polar Bear will, and are known to hunt humans. They will track you for miles if necessary. Humans are on their general menu if need be. Humans are almost never on a Grizzly's menu (although they will eat you if extremely hungry). Naturally both bears are very deadly and can be ferocious. However the Polar Bear will go to YOU if it sees you in it's vicinity where as a Grizzly will normally go the other way. Throw either a Grizzly or Polar bear cub's into the scenario and your odds of making it out in one piece decrease dramatically with either bear. You would much rather have an encounter with a Grizzly Bear than a Polar Bear for the aforementioned reasons. Simply because you have a decent chance of coming out of a Grizzly attack at least "alive" where as the odds are stacked against you if you have an encounter with a Polar Bear. Ian Billen
