Is the Kodiak stronger than the polar?
Considering the average Kodiak bear is three times as large as the average lion, it is a fair bet that the bear would possess a huge strength advantage.
Which bear is the most dangerous polar or grizzly?
The polar bear is said to be the most dangerous bear on the planet. Both the polar bear and the grizzley are dangerous to humans if provoked, however, grizzlies tend to be less aggressive to people unless actually confronted. Not so the polar bear. They rule their domain and will readily attack anything, including humans, that invade their territory.
So, to answer your question, if you are going to Alaska the polar bear may be the real problem for you. If you are going to the mountain states the grizzley is the most dangerous.
By the way...yes, grizzlies do live in Alaska as well.

I wish they would; I apparently have voles or moles having a party in my yard. I've used poison nuggets but am not sure they are gone. Any other ideas that work?

Which is biggest rhino or bear?
Rhinos are the biggest of the two groups of species. The largest species of rhinoceros, namely the White Rhino, can weigh over 7700 pounds, have a head-to-tail body length of 11 to 15 feet, and stand 6 to 6.5 feet at the shoulder. The largest species of bear, namely the Polar Bear, has males that weigh around 1500 pounds, have a head-to-tail body length of 8 to 10 feet, and stands 4 to 5 feet at the shoulder.
The smaller endangered species of rhino (Black Rhino) is still larger than the polar bear, weighing around 1900 to 3500 pounds, has a body length of 11 to 13 feet in length, and stands about 5 to 6 feet at the shoulder.
In the true sense of the word, polar bears do not hibernate. While true hibernators experience a noticeable drop in heart rate and near 320F (00C) body temperature, polar bears do not. Instead, they experience what is known as "walking hibernation." In the fall, pregnant females enter the den, but males and non-pregnant females don't. They give birth to their cubs in the den in November or December. In March or April, the mother and cubs emerge from the den. They live in the Artic, which is always cold, so there wouldn't be much point in hibernating.
The females den up in winter to give birth, but males remain active in all but the worst weather.
Yes, they are just like other bears.
Polar Bears do not ordinarily hibernate. When the temperature drops during the winter, many Polar Bears enter a state where their body functions will slow. This lethargy, drop in the body temperature and drop in respiration rate, are referred to as the "winter sleep". The Polar Bears are easily disturbed and awakened, and a female can give birth, and care for her young, while she is in this "winter sleep". Many times the degree of the inactivity or the depth of the "winter sleep" appears to be related to the weather, and the individual bears fat reserves. For more details please see sites listed below.
Yes Polar Bears hibernate
all bears go in the water to catch salmon and drink water from a body of water near by
Are brown bears and polar bears members of the same species?
well polar bears have the same claws as brown bears but pandas don't have them so sharp
Does a bear hibernate or migrate?
Usually slow, but can be fast too. Can walk on hind legs for a short period of time.
Is a polar bear bigger than a grizzly bear?
Brown bears also know as grizley bears are larger species than the black bear. A black bear of an unusual size was found and relocated this days but a grizley 1000 pounder was shot in a backyard of a lucky hunter.
Yes.Hyenas also live in grasslands,woodlands,desserts,forest edges, and mountains reaching to 13,000 ft.
Bears are dormant in winter what does that mean?
It means they go into a cave, and go into a deep sleep, in the winter and live off of their reserves of fat. They can't hunt during the winter (there's no game around and they could freeze to death), so might as well get some shut eye.
Who is more dangerous bear or wolf?
If I understand you question, the coyote is far more dangerous than wolves due to the fact that they lack shyness around humans. Wolves are actually safer than a dog mainly due to their shyness around people. In fact, wolf attacks are extremely rare and there have been no recorded fatal attacks in the past 150 years. Though recently there have been two fatal attacks in the past. One was a hiker (they think it could also be a bear) and a teacher from who moved to alaska.
The only reason wolves would attack you is if they either have rabies or your harassing them. Coyotes on the other hand are practically death machines.
What is the worlds smallest bear?
The world's smallest koala is a newborn joey, as it is only about the size of a bean.
There is only one species of koala, with three debated sub-species. Koalas which live in the north of Australia tend to be smaller than their southern counterparts.
Yes, almost all bears are afraid of dogs. It probably has something to do with wolves. If you're in the mountains living, hiking or camping having a dog would be a wonderful idea. My dogs have saved me from an up-close bear encounter countless times, even my boyfriend's chihuahua has scared off a huge black bear.
Hope this helps
