Who would win in this fight?

[Reverend_Smitty]

or

If the bear was placed in water deep enough for the shark to swim but shallow enough for the bear to stand up.

Discuss...

1. the bear

claws and teeth and a lot more manuverable than a shark.

[LiberalVoice]

2. If they faught in an environment that gave neither of them an edge...

The shark would win. No doubt.

[Shell Beau]

4. Disagree. The bear has much more strength. He could pick the

shark up and claw the shit out of it!

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. even a great white?

those suckers are pretty big

[Shell Beau]

7. against a Grizzly? hell yeah!

[LiberalVoice]

8. No way could a bear manage to pick up and keep hold of a shark.

Especially a great white. I dunno if that is one in the pic though... :shrug: It would be flapping around and shit.

[Shell Beau]

12. Maybe, but have you seen the claws of a Grizzly and their strength

is massive. If they were to get to the belly of the shark, the shark would be toast. That is very sensitive skin there.

[LiberalVoice]

18. Yeah I guess...

I say we put this theory to the test. I've got $50 bucks on the shark :D

[Shell Beau]

19. I am ahead of you here, b/c they've done it on

Animal Face Off. The Bear wins!!!! Woo hoo! The shark did manage to beat a croc though. Only b/c once a croc gets flipped over in the water, they are not able to turn back over. He sank to the bottom and drowned. The same is true for a shark. If they get turned over, they lose their senses, and their stomachs are very sensitive.

[Reverend_Smitty]

20. All we need to get our hands on is...

a shark, a bear, a swimming pool and a case of beer (for me, not the animals) and we would have ourselves one hell of an animal death match

[LiberalVoice]

22. That would do...

You'd have to share the beer though :D

[Shell Beau]

23. I would like some type of protection against an

angry bear and shark!

[Reverend_Smitty]

24. Alright we can give the bear and shark some beer too

that ought to chill them out a bit

[Shell Beau]

25. Alright, who is going to put this together? Can you handle it?

[Reverend_Smitty]

26. Give me a week...and some more beer

:evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

28. Alright! It's on! DU's Duel!

[Shell Beau]

3. Have you ever watched the Discovery Channels Animal Face Off?

The put animals like this up against each other. The bear would win, hands down.

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. They actually have a show like that?

I need to watch it!

[Shell Beau]

10. It is awesome. They use mechanics and computers to

figure out who would win. They measure the strength and bite force. They put the lion against the tiger (tiger won), they put a hippo against a croc (hippo whooped ass), they but a anaconda against a jaguar (anaconda won), an elephant against a tiger (elephant won), a gorilla against a tiger or jaguar (the gorilla won). It is such an awesome show!!

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. I would love to see a gorilla open up a can of whoop-ass on a tiger

it's like the WWF meets Wild Kingdom!

[Shell Beau]

15. The tiger went to attack and the gorilla used

his arm and plowed down on the back of the cat and broke its back. The strength in their arms is amazing. And actually, they had more powerful jaws as well. They just can't open their mouths the way a cat can!

On edit, no real animals are used. They just use the strength and behavior tactics of each animal. They measure it very precisely, and even have an expert for each animal. It is pretty realistic. And at the end of the show, the give a computerized show of the fight!

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. That is so awesome

I must check my local listings for air times!

[Shell Beau]

17. It also comes on Animal Planet too! It is my fave show!

[bertha katzenengel]

9. Bear. Because it has cute little round ears.

Sharks have no ears, so it stands to reason, they would lose.

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. that is the best use of logic ever!

you win a cookie

[bertha katzenengel]

13. mmm.... cookies...

:bounce:

I learned my logic from a book I got at K-Mart. Called "Mad-Libs."

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Well since the shark didn't show up in the thread...I pick the bear.

:hi:

[LSK]

27. considering I cant get the shark pic to come up, i assume the bear won???

[MN ChimpH8R]

29. I'd put $100 on the bear

A grizzly's claws would rip open even the biggest shark like a laundry bag.

[Reverend_Smitty]

30. lets up the ante a little

It seems that most would think the Bear would win...what would happen if you attached a laser beam to the head of the shark? Who would win now?
