If the grizzly bear attacked and killed the polar bear, it would win.
If a grizzly charged at you full bodied, but didn’t manage to kill you with its first swipe, you’d be in trouble if you were on ground level. Bears’ claws are sharp and can rip through skin easily. Though they’re not as strong as humans, their paws are larger so the momentum behind an attack is enough to cut straight through us without much effort.
On top of that, bears have been observed maneuvering up trees in order to prey on unsuspecting rivals or even take defenseless cubs from nests (based off being within) at high heights so that they’re safe from most other animals.
A polar bear is a lot less endangered than a grizzly bear, and could better defend itself against the other. Unless you are on snow or ice, the grizzly usually wins. Either way, one of them would be dead.
They’ll both die if they fight each other because polar bears are unable to cope with their dry habitats and grizzlies won’t be able to survive in the cold (polar bears hibernate).
Polar bears have evolved for Arctic climates so they’re built for surviving under intense cold from very snowy environments. But they’re not well adapted to hot or humid environments which are more likely on land–that’s why when global warming destroys their homes then a lot of them also end up dying. Grizzlies on the other hand can survive in more different types of habitats and climates but they’re not as well built as polar bears to deal with the cold.
The grizzly bear is 55% larger than the polar bear. Between grizzlies and polar bears, if there was a fight and it relied on their physical differences alone—the grizzly bear would be more likely to emerge victorious.
However, this is not an accurate measure of how they would behave in the wild. For example, while a polar bear might think he can win a fight against a grizzly bear because of his size advantage, the grislier bears are smarter than many other types of species that live in colder climates (such as walruses) due to their greater need for social interaction amongst females with cubs.
The grizzly bear, by all means.
Polar bears are known for their poor sense of smell – but grizzlies have an excellent one. Polar bears also depend heavily on the ice to hunt their prey, which is difficult to do with a changing climate and melting Arctic ice lakes; polar bears now being forced into larger hunting areas where they cannot differentiate between seasonal foods. On the other hand, ursus arctos horribilis can live nearly anywhere. They are fluent in bitter cold and rain and snow – ursus arctos horribilis subsist off prey many small carnivores would not dare go near: fish (salmon), rodents (rabbits) even birds!
The grizzly bear would win the fight because it has more muscle and fat than a polar bear. Virgils’ rule is that the animal’s hibernation duration goes directly as its weight at one year old does (in kilograms). The average lifespan of a grizzly is about 22 years, while an average polar bears life expectancy is 20 years. As such, most grizzlies will weigh in at around 190 kgs (or 419 lbs), while most female brown bears will weigh 130 kgs (285 lbs). Additionally, a majority of these extra pounds will be stored as fat giving them nearly twice as much energy reserves for surviving off food sources during periods of extreme cold. In order to fend off this slightly larger and fatter creature, you need a great deal more muscle.
The polar bear has a small advantage. The grizzly is built for long distance running but has to cover twice the distance, while the polar bear swims in water where fighting can be done from a much shorter distance (at least it can stand on ice).
However, I imagine that if they somehow met up at an even playing ground, both would be exhausted and neither would win easily because of raw physical strength. I think it would depend on who had the more aggressive or crazier personality. Either way, no real one could predict what would happen unless someone was there!
Polar bear.
There are an estimated 25,000 polar bears alive in the world today with about a minimum of 10,000-15,000 living in Canada according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In contrast there are a minimum of 22,500 black bears total worldwide and no more than 2000 grizzlies left in North America (according to IUCN). So it’s safe to assume that when faced off against each other would be a minimal push.
Depends on which bear you’re talking about.
This is a hotly contested question, but many believe the answer would depend on the bear. Polar bears typically live in colder climates than grizzly bears do, and they can swim for much longer distances beneath the ice than Grizzly Bears can. The Arctic also lacks any native land-based predators for polar bears to worry about, whereas Grizzly Bears need to be cautious of larger carnivores such as wolves or snow lions. In short, this is an answer that could go either way depending on which species you’re talking about and where it lives! But one thing is certain – neither bear would win easily against something like an elephant. 😉
It totally depends on a few factors, such as the size of each animal and their respective relationship.
If we take for example if the polar bear is 1000 pounds (450 kg) and the grizzly is 2500 pounds (1134 kg), then theoretically it would come down to who was in better shape or who had more momentum. If they were evenly matched, I don’t think either of them could win against another one due to their paws being too small given their limited dexterity when fighting with other bears as well as shorter arms leading to less reach. You’re much more likely to get into an intense brawl with long distance weapons than face-to-face clawing tactic combat with a full grown grizzly bear in Canada or Alaska.
