Polar Bear vs Grizzly Bear. Who would win in a fight?

Both fully grown (record size) and terrian/ enviroment are not not an issue for this fight. This would include the Kodiac Bear, if the Kodiac matched up better with the Polar Bear in size and all. Thanks for your input. OK, I found the largest recorded Polar Bear was 11ft 11in tall and weighed 2,210lbs. The largest recorded Grizzly which is was a Kodiak Bear recorded at almost 14ft tall and weighed 2,500lbs. What say you?

  1. If on North pole, than Polar . . . but if in US than Grizzly :)
  2. Grizzly Bear - much meaner than the Kodiac.
  3. A Polar Bear is much more aggressive. It would win fairly easily.
  4. Polar Bear!
  5. Well...lol..The record size for a kodiak is much less than your 14 ft, 2500 pound "story" you found. Don't believe most of the crap you see on the net. Kodiaks, even as large as they are, rarely reach 1500 lbs. I doubt that there has ever been one recorded at 2000. Polar bears are taller when standing generally, and can weigh 2000+, so the polar bear averages larger. But...in recorded instances of confrontations between the 2 types, a grizzly can scare away a polar bear.
  6. I have a quote that will answer this question. Hold on a sec. "The polar bear is a larger, but less robust creature than other bears. "Compared to the grizzly, it has a thinner, longer and more delicate skull, along with narrower forequarters. This streamlining is an adaptation for an aquatic life style. "The grizzly has a shorter, thicker neck, heavily built skull and more powerful shoulder structure. Despite being a good foot shorter, the grizzly has a trump card. "Their claws, having evolved as digging tools, are also unmatched at opening body carcasses. Claws of 6" aren't uncommon (9" record) while the polar bear has small hook-like 2" claws. "Sometimes, when the ice melts, polar bears have been known to be driven off by grizzlies, when they move south into the grizzlies feeding area. A grizzly will defend his barren ground patches jealously as he races to pile on enough fat for the end of summer denning." Tiger Territory © Copyright 2001. Maxine Annabell. So that quote shows you the answer is the grizzly.
  7. Neither would win because it is too cold for the grizzly bear in the polar region and it is too hot for the polar bear in the wooded region.
