Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted October 27, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 27, 2021 Eggcelent topic. Black bears, polar bears, grizzly bears, and panda bears exist in their respective environments and rarely meet outside of those. But what happens when they do? I think Grizzly bears win due to their size advantage. Polar bears and pandas win based on geographical and climate advantages. Call it a draw. Black bears win when there are trees to climb. Polar bears and panda bears can't climb worth shit and would lose in tree based environments. Yogi bears would win in picnic basket contests. Booboo bears win in cuteness competitions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but black bears climb trees to get to Panda bears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted October 27, 2021 Share #8 Posted October 27, 2021 TREMPEALEAU COUNTY, Wis — In western Wisconsin, it only took seconds for a black bear to climb the tree a hunter was in and put its paw in his lap. Dalton Roach was hunting for deer when he saw the bear he says was about 250 to 300 pounds. "It's definitely not totally uncommon for a bear to go into a tree with a hunter," said Roach. "But the fact that he actually starting gnawing on me and stuff, like that was a little abnormal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the spirit bear....an albino bear...that lives in Pacific northwest rain forests. Rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted October 28, 2021 Share #12 Posted October 28, 2021 Vegas odds are even to favoring grizzlies. They are more aggressive of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted October 28, 2021 Share #13 Posted October 28, 2021 Large male grizzlies are in the 700-800 lbs range, male PBS can be 1200-1500lbs and have even been known to pull a beluga whale out of a polynya. I wouldn't bet on either, but wouldn't want to be in between the two. Grizzly are more aggressive, but having faced down a 900lbs PB from 32 feet away, they are scary as shit. He was walking towards me. My buddy got charged by a Grizzly and had to kill it. Yikes! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zephyr Posted October 28, 2021 Popular Post Share #17 Posted October 28, 2021 He got 3 shots off during the charge. Bear ended up 6 feet from him after it dropped and slid. Buddy's got a big pair hanging for holding his ground and taking the time to aim his shots. Two of us got left behind for 3 1/2 hours one time waiting for the copter to come back, with only a 12 Guage and some slugs I prime Grizzly country with lots of fresh tracks. I was happy to see the chopper before dark 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Nope. 1500 #s. Cripes. I didn't know they were THAT big. <now I am googling PB stats> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Panda’s diet consists almost exclusively of bamboo. And they don’t need to climb to get it... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my plan would probably be to dump a big load right in my pants and hope it makes me smell unappetizing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
