Polar Bear vs. Gorilla w/ knife???

[kage69]

Not to mention the Polar is well documented as the only animal, other than man, to hunt for sport.

I think you're confusing factoids. Polar bears are the only animals that hunt man. I know orcas and leopard seals both sometimes hunt for sport.

Hmmm... maybe I am wrong that they are the "only" then. Googling...

REgardless, PBs are my favorite animals hands down for all the reasons mentioned in this thread and more.

No way. Crocodiles still kill hundreds, if not thousands, of people per year in Africa. And you can add lions, tigers, and leopards, hyenas, various species of shark to the list of man hunters.

Seconded.


Anyone see that special on National Geographic awhile ago on leopard seals? :Q Talk about freakin scary!!! They're like ligers that swim, and are supposedly smart as hell. The camera guy in the water with one had his lense on the damn things lips, I couldn't believe the friggin teeth! That show was amazing, watching a 1200lb animal effortlessly chase down a nimble pengin was really unnerving. That diver had a brass pair.

Sorry, land mammal I meant. But I'm still wrong, we have mountain lions ambushing people in California now! I had also forgotten that the Sundabar region in India is infamous for woodcutters being killed by man-eating tigers. (My memory sucks). I read this one article a long time ago about a tiger there that swim out into a river to climb up on an anchored fishing boat to attack it's occupants!

Still, there is a difference between hunting and killing. Some people are in the wrong place at the wrong time, as in 'Oops! I just walked into this dominant hippo's pool!' *attack via defense of territory* Others have the misfortune to be out backpacking or camping and actually get stalked by something that just wants to see how they taste.

Does the gorilla get gatorade?

The man-eating lions of Tsavo killed hundreds of Indian railway workers working a British railway in Africa in the 1800s over a period of years. These guys weren't "in the wrong place at the wrong time". The lions hunted and ate them. There are many, many documented cases of normal, healthy animals killing and eating people. Despite what the Disneyfied hippies would have you believe, for many species, man is food.

Easy there dude, I already stated I was wrong. The "wrong place and the wrong time" comment was in reference to occurences like some poor schmuch trying to wade a stream where crocs are waiting for a herd of gazelle to come and drink, or being torn apart by a bad tempered hippo for infringing on it's turf. I do recall hearing something more about those lions though, something pertaining to an affliction of sorts. Not rabies, but something else...
Sharks don't hunt people, but they do kill them on occasion. Some sharks, bulls and tigers most noteably, just bite anything that moves. The vast majority of shark attacks are cases of mistaken identity or because the animal was starving and desperate. That's not a hunt.

I think once that gorilla tries to get close with that knife, it's gonna get POUNDED by that bear.

 

[jjones]

Polar bear would win no question. The sheer size, weight and strength of the bear would own that gorilla in seconds.

Damn that's a hell of a scenario. You have odd thoughts..... 😛 Any ways I'd bet on the polar bear. They're so big that i think being stabbed a few times by a knife would just piss it off. (lethal to a human, but a puny nuisance to the huge bear, plus I think the bear has such a thick layer of fat, no vital organs or arteries would be hit unless the gorilla went for the neck or head) It would then use it's claws to shred the gorilla to peices. Now if the gorilla had a large sword, things might be different.

I didn't actually reasearch anything so I might be way off

That was my thinking. How long is this knife? The polar bear may not be as imposing as the grizzly, but its still a huge, huge fvcking bear. Unless he went for the eyes or maybe throat, the knife isn't going to do much but piss the bear off.

His best bet would be to run away from the bear in the ring until it died of heat stroke.

I think the bear would win, but he might be in poor shape because of the heat at the end of it.

The knife is a good foot long. It is like one of those Rambo knives from the movies.

Frankly, I don't think even rambo would have a fvcking chance against that bear. Its just to damn big.

Unless the gorilla is really smart and runs away until the bear dies of heatstroke, PB has this one.

Ok. Here is where I see the battle going. Polar bear would dominate match at first. The gorilla, being the underdog, however would feed off the crowd's energy. However, the crowd's encouragement would not be enough so he would continue to get plundered although he does land a few good shots. At the last moment, when the gorilla w/ knife is knocked down and pinned and just as soon as the ref starts the three count.............the ULTIMATE WARRIOR runs out and hits the Polar Bear with a chair. The ref calls for a disqualification. The Polar Bear grabs the mic and challenges the gorilla w/ knife for a rematch at Wrestlemania 20.

That is why they have polar bears at zoos in climates that often see above 60 degree weather?

You guys are fvcking dumb. 😀

Edit: And the Polar Bear would still beat the sh!t out of the gorilla, no contest.
