5 Bears vs 10 Lions

Kold · 05-08-2008 11:06PM #1

Haven't had one of these threads in a while.

The bears are fully grown grizzlies.

I reckon the bears because a bear could shrug off a few blows, whereas one blow on a lion and that lion isn't getting up imo. Gotten quite divided views on this one so far though.

Needs to be a checkbox poll.

2 lions to each grizzly..take him from behind(I won't be saying that again in a hurry)

win for the lions tbh.

Bears don't really deliver blows tho, they grab on and maul. Whereas lions go for the throat or back or the neck and work in packs. The fact that there are twice as many lions - I'd put my house on the kittehs.

And i can't believe I'm replying to such a lame thread. Time for bed I think.

Lions are powerful and fast. However Bears make up for it with raw power and tenacity. And, they are cuddlier.

AARRRGH · 05-08-2008 11:21PM

I think it would be the lions.

I've seen one tiger attack a crocodile and it was ruthless!

The bears would make short work of a few mountain lions.

PrivateEye · 05-08-2008 11:28PM

the bears would eat them all for breakfast and then go off.....for breakfast.

Bears are clearly more intelligent.

On Discovery or for real?

Mountain Lions are tiny compared to a Grizzly,

Bears FTW!!

chopperbyrne · 05-08-2008 11:46PM

The lions don't stand a chance in this one.

Kold · 05-08-2008 11:47PM

How many lions is it gonna take to make a close fight so?

/rings the zoo: MOAR LIONZ!

Overheal · 05-08-2008 11:48PM

Nobody specified the type of lion. African Lions or NorthWestern Mountain Lions (aka. Cougar/Puma/Panther)?

BrokenArrows · 05-08-2008 11:51PM

Atari jaguar!

trout · 05-08-2008 11:57PM

My money is on the bears, so long as they are proper Grizzly bears, with hairy ar$es and bad attitudes.

If you are talking about them Kung Fu Panda types ... Lions ftw.

smellslikeshoes · 06-08-2008 12:00AM

Think the Lions would definitely come off best since they are a pack animal and would probably work together. Would probably end up in a situation where the Lions take down a few bears then make a coordinated retreat to safety.

they have opposite mentalities.
a lion is more likely to attack you if you run away
a bear is more likely to attack you if you hold your ground or approach it
according to the stories I've read anyway.

several hundred thousand jaguars would easily win due to their overwhelming numerical advantage.

Its been settled:

The Californians of the late 19th century staged well-documented pit fights with grizzlies and spanish bulls. The grizzlies, using their paw as a club, shattered the unfortunate bull’s skull or shoulder bones so easily that the betting became poor.

Eventually, and at considerable cost, African lions were brought in to raise the stakes. The most fierce of the adult males was sent in whilst the grizzly was already waiting in the pits. The lion was known for bravely charging straight in and looked good for the money, but the grizzly killed a male lion almost as easily as he’d killed the bull.

lions are good for speed but their strength and stamina are not up to scratch.

Victor · 06-08-2008 04:38PM

Lions or Mountain Lions?

Creature · 06-08-2008 04:49PM

Grizzly bears are ****ing enormous. The lions wouldn't stand a chance.

FunkZ · 06-08-2008 04:55PM

The lions and it would be done and dusted quite quickly as well.

dlofnep · 06-08-2008 04:58PM

The title is misleading. Mountain lions are not lions. Cougar is the correct name for them. 10 real lions would savage 5 grizzlys. 1 lion would savage 1 grizzly. 10 cougars would beat 5 grizzlies IMO.

The thing is if the bear was willing to fight one or two smacks could have crushed the cougars skull (as sourced above).

Bears ftw!

FunkZ · 06-08-2008 05:15PM

I just got in trouble for showing my six year old nephew a lioness fight a zebra. Thanks thread.

The_Minister · 06-08-2008 05:28PM

Lions can kill elephants.

If anyone is really interested I can dig up a link to a video of about six lions going to town on an elephant (they fail, but they got a baby one).

gabigeist · 06-08-2008 05:28PM

This is ridiculous. Everyone knows that King Kong resembled a bear on his hind legs and he destroyed a city. If you scale it down, a miniature King Kong (bear) would throttle a miniature city (village). 5 bears could probably even handle a small town. Have you seen how much dynamite it takes to blow up a small town in the old WWII movies? That much dynamite would defo kill 10 lions so 5 bears are clearly the winner.

Its like logic we've never seen before!!

I tip my hat to you sir.

I would bet on the Bears myself.
