    Mountain lions are like pumas? Not real lions.

    Grizzlies ftw.

    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.

    That made me lol.

    Error in poll, I'm talking the hardest lions you can get here...

    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).

    6 against one baby? Impressive :rolleyes:

    Yeah but 15 bears would also kick the **** out of the elephant.

    The bears would win hands down.
    One swipe from a bear would easily take down a lion.

    Lions hunt in packs and would probably attack one bear at a time. Which would leave 4 bears to tear into the lions.

    The bears would win, Lions or preferable Cats are cowardly creatures, and would ruyn in the sight of major danger espeically if it's larger then it, also i've seen a lion take on a tiger and the tiger won so if a lion couldn't take on a tiger what makes you think it's going to take a bears, and since it's two to a bear then the bears would easily overpower them and kill them

    It wouldnt matter if they were 10 of the most ferocious african lions you could call into service, the bear wins. Check my link in page 1: apparently californian's already did those kind of pit-fights in the 1900s. bears have little problem in crushing the offending lion's skull.

    They did it with mountain lions first (obviously) but when nobody would bet on the mountain lions anymore they went the whole 9 yards, imported a few african lions, but those too were killed about as quickly as the mountain lions. Bulls also got pwnt.

    also we have to factor in 10 vs 5 - theres pack mentality issues but also:
    Male grizzly bears can reach weights of 454.5 kilograms (1,000 pounds) and stand 2.44 metres (8 ft) tall on their hind legs; the females are on average 38% smaller

    these bears can run at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour (25 miles per hour).
    Weights for adult lions generally lie between 150–227 kg (330–500 lb) for males[35], and 123–182 kg (270–400 lb) for females.

    Head and body length is 170–250 cm (5 ft 7 in – 8 ft 2 in) in males and 140–175 cm (4 ft 7 in – 5 ft 9 in) in females; shoulder height is about 121 cm (4 ft) in males and 98 cm (3 ft 3 in) in females. The tail length is 70–100 cm (2 ft 3 in – 3 ft 3 in)

    although lionesses can reach speeds of 59 km/h (40 mph),[60] they can only do so for short bursts
    Each grizzly would tower over 2 lions and is built like a tank.
