tiger > bear
hippo > moose
chimp > troops
pitbull > cub
gorilla > polar bear

methinks youre not giving the polar bear enough credit

maybe, perhaps in an arctic environment the polar bear has an edge, but in the jungle the gorilla wins

Grizzly > Tiger
Hippo > Moose
Troops > Chimp
Pitbull > Cub
Polar Bear > Gorilla

Anyone saying the bears don't win those match ups isn't Canadian.

There is no universe that a silverback gorilla can beat a polar bear. You have seriously not taken into account the sizes and power involved here. While silverbacks are big, strong and nasty is not in doubt but they are not in the same league.

Acting like a terrain advantage (jungle vs arctic) would be a determining factor is something for a video game to calculate attack power or some shit like that.

I think I could probably take on both a silverback and a polar bear

the terrain advantage thing was 50% a bit but i also feel things like temperature/camouflage (stalking or whatever) would absolutely give a polar bear an advantage in a fight against a gorilla. not sure if the gorilla gains anything from being in a jungle idk maybe the ability to climb trees

i def forgot how big polar bears are tho u may b right but i think the gorilla's intelligence is not worth discounting either

an average adult polar bear is going to have a 400-1000 lb advantage over an adult gorilla

grizzly > tiger
hippo > moose (not close)
3 troops > chimpanzee (not close)
pitbull > lion cub (not close)
polar bear > gorilla (not close)

you need some better matchups for this to be difficult

Woogie u should b worried more about your sf6 matchups

tiger
Hippo
Troops
No contest
Polar bear

I also thing you all who voted need to re-evaluate the lion cub vs pitbull. They are considered cubs up to 2 years I believe and can be close to 200 pounds at that time.

Cub or not, 200 pounds is a lot more than a pitbull and he would not be using just his teeth but his claws as well.

The real question is, how old is this cub we are talking about. If hes the cub in the lion king then fine, my dachshund can probably take him but if he grows for 2 years as a cub...

Back in the mid 00s, there was a tv show called Animal Face-Off . The most similar to these matchups was siberian tiger vs. brown bear

Grizzly Bear>Tiger. Bears bigger, stronger and much more durable.

Hippo>Moose. Hippos are horrible evil creatures and I don't think a moose could cause any significant harm to one.

3 troops>Chimpanzee. Teamwork is op.

Lion cub vs Pitbull depends how old the lion cub is. If the lion is old enough and big enough it'll probably win.

Polar Bear>Gorilla. This matchup is literally a joke. I don't think you understand how big and strong a polar bear actually is.

ok time for round 2

orca vs seal
crocodile vs zebra
dingo vs ant
whale vs plankton

Would you rather fight 1 polar bear sized chicken or 100 chicken sized polar bears

100,000,000,000 lions vs. The sun

tiger < bear (honestly close. male grizzlies and male tigers are about the same in terms of mass)
hippo > moose (not even close)
chimp < troops (but not all 3 are living)
pitbull > cub (not even close)
gorilla < polar bear (not even close)

who wins hippo vs polar bear?

Moose played on classic mixup, so i think hippo will have problems in an !add 4

i have lost many hours of my life to the "could you kill a black bear in a fight" conversation

I was trying to find growth progress images of cubs but I couldnt get anything concrete
I meant a cub that's basically the size/weight of an adult pitbull

gotta go with the hippo. those things are BEASTS

it would be a close fight but realistically speaking, I'd win. Once I have my Speedex 18s on I'm basically untouchable on any kind of hard terrain. I'd use my superior agility to lure it to the asphalt and abuse my 85 inch wingspan to pepper him with jabs until he gets pissed off. one I'm in his head its over. like max kellerman once said, "you can lead a horse to water but you cant teach him how to box"

Agreed. Once he sees that polar bear coming, he is going to throw his 14 kids on his silverback and head to next jungle

This one is interesting and fun. I still feel the Polar Bear wins.

The Hippo has evolved to eat plants and shit while the polar bear is a killer and eats meat. Kinda a huge advantage already because of aggression and killing instinct.

Still, the average hippo is almost 2 times as large and just a powerhouse. The only things that move a hippo are rhinos and elephants and sometimes they still don't move.

Hippo's have sharp and long teeth that can do major damage but they are just not made for killing. Polar Bear will be faster and have more weapons (claws/teeth) not to mention that killing instinct. Polar Bear on a Hippo's back and hes kinda fucked. Polar Bears do fight and try to kill similar size creatures in the Walrus so they are not always the biggest thing around.

bear >
Saw a battle of a tiger vs bear on a gore site. Bear didnt even see the tiger as a threat. He clawed at the tigers shoulders and neck, pinned him down and the tiger died. Maybe broke its neck idk.

idk if u guys have heard of pokemon but if u have i just came up with something epic
a trillion lions vs every pokemon

We can just make gorilla sized firearms. You probably couldn't create a weapon system for a polar bear that it could actually use that would beat the gorilla packing heat.

no animal would ever try to fight a grown hippo 1 on 1 except an elephant or rhino. if it takes a handful of lions to hunt a hippo a single polar bear won't be able to do much. bear claws cant pierce the fat armor. hippo limbs too big to be bitten.

Yeah of course, mostly all of these interactions would never happen even in the unlikely even they meet in the natural world.

I don't know why you would think bear claws would not pierce the skin of a hippo. Its flesh not steel. Just a comparison I looked up. A walrus skin thickness can by from 2-4 cm and a hippo's is around 5 cm thick. I have seen videos where a fully grown walrus is all fucked up from a polar bear just on his back. No reason to believe a bear would have any trouble at all hurting a hippo.

Its also a game of waiting for the predator in most cases. Blood loss is typically the reason most huge animals are brought down by smaller animals. Another seeming advantage for the polar bear.

i'm not saying that the skin is impenetrable, i'm just saying that the claw is going to be slicing skin and fat rather than major blood vessels, organs, or much muscular tissue. polar bears sometimes even have trouble with walruses, they'd be toast against the extra mass, thicker skin + limbs/neck, and footlong teeth driven by a 2000 pound bite.
