Bear Lion
Which animal would be most likely to win if they were forced to meet, a bear or a lion?
I know the lion is the king of the jungle, and the bear is the king of it’s habitat, and they’re both very ferocious animals, so which animal would be most likely to prevail in a fight, a grizzly bear to be more specific or a lion? I’m asking this question because for some reason I just couldn’t decide on which animal was stronger, yeah a bear is larger but the lion is an extremely vicious animal, so I wondered. Which animal do you think would win? I know this sounds like a childish question, but I was just curious.
Lion. Though some species of bear are heavier than lions, much of that weight comes from the large, heavy bones and considerable amount of body-fat. By contrast, a lion’s skeleton is quite small given the size of the animal – much of its size comes from its enormous musculature. They have evolved to kill prey considerably larger than themselves, and are swifter and more agile than bears. They have stronger jaws, larger canine teeth, and eighteen razor-sharp claws (bears’ claws are non-rectractile, and therefore blunt from constant contact with the ground). The lion would leap onto the bear’s back, clinging on with its claws, and drag the bear to the ground, where a throat-bite would be employed to kill it.
In response to Judah’s answer, whilst female lions do most of the hunting for the pride, males DO hunt – they will join the lionesses now and then, and young males who have left their natal pride but not yet taken over one of their own have no choice but to hunt for themselves. Also, male lions are much larger and stronger than females, giving them the edge over the lionesses in any fight.
In response to Jim’s answer, there is only one species of lion (Panthera leo). There are various subspecies, including the Masai lion, Kruger lion, Barbary lion and Asiatic lion, but they are all the same species. There are also 8 species of bear, not 7 – polar bear, brown bear, American black bear, Asiatic black bear (also called the moon bear), giant panda, sun bear, sloth bear and spectacled bear. The grizzly bear is a subspecies of brown bear.
