Yeah, looks to me like the bear just didn't want to fight. It probably could've handled the lion easily with that much of a weight advantage.

Jesus, you guys are really brain dead today. That WAS a grizzly. He just didn't wanna mess with him, and obviously the mountain lion wasn't hurting him or he would have retaliated.

But yeah, that bear lost. All about the posturing. Although cats are pretty god damn tough if they're forced to fight.
Yeah, you could call it a cougar, but not a leopard...as far as common names typically go.

ok, i guess i don't know how strong a grizzly is - i guess it would definitely lose to elephant or rhino.
now, what about a adult [male] lion (or tiger) vs. grizzly ? it may have a weight advantage but i don't think it is as agile as a cat. besides for a kill, these cats will go straight for the throat (especially the lion).
what do you think? thanks.

Puma, cougar, mountain lion, Florida panther, red tiger.
Certainly not a leopard.
Cub was cute![]()

It's been done, and the grizzly won every time.
I like cats better, but the grizzly is almost the meanest mother out there. Be interesting to pair it with a rhino or hippo, I suppose...

btw, i have heard that lions have killed rhino and elephant sometimes, and rhino killing elephant sometimes. rhino and elephant are probably the strongest among all on land.
