and larger sharks are a lot stronger than tiny sharks
all i'm saying is that if a large shark bit the leg of a polar bear in waste high water it would probably completely rip the leg off or disable the bear so much that the bear woudn't even be able to use the leg. that would already be game/set/match.
How asinine is this!

BTW, a .338 Winchester Magnum caliber hunting rifle will bag you any type of bear -- they taste pretty good (pork-like).
Meanwhile, you want to use a 20mm Sniper rifle to kill that great white, and I'd be disappointed because its flesh taste pretty much like any other, well, fish

The cougar could easily outrun the bear. Bears are fast, but cats are faster.
The cougar could never beat the bear in a fight, though. Cougars are mountain lions, they are small compared to real lions. A cougar weighs between 80-250 lbs. The grizzly weights up to 1500 lbs. The bear wouldn't even bother chasing it. All that work for such a small meal? It's better off eating a deer.
The fight would never happen. The cougar would run away from the bear, and the bear wouldn't bother chasing it.

But only because the bullet must go thru water first. Take a shark out of its element, shoot it and look at it as it will die in minutes
Looks like you haven't read "Winnetou"
If to kill a cougar a man armed with a knife is needed, to kill a bear is enough to have a frying pan
LOL, you don't have to shoot the shark if you take it out of its element (as in shark-fishing), where it'll eventually die after being caught (it uses gills instead of lungs for respiration).
well this is obvoius. because polar bears are totally sweet and sharks suck, the polar bear wins hands down for three main reasons:
1) polar bears are mammals
2) polar bears fight ALL the time.
3) The purpose of the polar bear is to flip out and kill sharks.

First off, where is the fight taking place??? If the shark is in the North Pole, it's going to be freezing. Great Whites typically aren't found that far North and usually are in warmer waters. If the fight is that far North, the Polar Bear will kill the shark with no problems just because the shark will be a lot slower do to climate.
If it's in the warmer south, the shark has more of a chance, but probably wouldn't be able to bite through the bear's tough skin and extremely thick fur. Ultimately, I think the bear could grab the shark and pull it backwards as long as it's only 8-10 feet long. Any bigger and the bear's toast.

More in south, the bear would be slower because of extreme overheating (polar bears are overheating even in the late polar autumn, as their winter fur is completely grown, but the weather is still warm)

Whoever strikes first would probably win.
If any of the bear's limps were bitten by the shark, it would result in substantial loss of flesh and blood. However, the shark is made of cartilage and could be seriously injured if it were struck by a bear claw. (The cartilage of the shark has been used as a con against the shark in dolphin vs shark debates.)

I still can't believe you guys are voting for the shark. It's a one trick pony! *stop* Bears are INCREDIBLY stong, are covered with layers of fat and fur, and have extremely power jaw with very long teeth. A bear can pretty much eat whatever the fvck it wants to, be it a tire, something metal, or rubbery shark skin.
I just don't think many of realize how massive a grizzly is. Think of it this way, a great white doesn't weigh much more than a grizzly if at all. And yet a girzzly has *gasp!* appendages tipped with huge claws.
EDIT: Another thing, a bear is muh more intelligent and doesn't have the inclination to swim away when it gets bumped on the nose. It's not strictly driven by primitive instinct like a shark; if it's threatened it will attack and become unbelievably ferocious. IT has a killer instinct.

Wasn't there a TV show about this subject, animals fighting? I think I remember seeing an episode Shark vs Alligator.
