Grizzly without a shadow of a doubt. I can't believe someone comes on here with a serious question and everyone just messes about instead of helping the op.

Grizz would win. There's not many names a Grizzly couldn't take.

I was only a matter of time, but i reckon if a bloke can do it, a griller would have no problem

Actually grizzlies are about 80 - 90% vegetarian.
I find them remarkable animals, 800lbs and can run over 30 mph.
No question in a row, the grizzly wins every time if only because of the claws.

despite the fact that the gorilla may be more intelligent and has the opposable thumbs to potentially operate weaponary, the grizzly would win easily - bigger, badder, hungrier, grizzlier

Yep, and probably teeth/jaw strength wise too.

Although they seem to be more evenly matched strength wise :

[i]"An adult gorilla's upper body strength is six times more powerful than that of an adult human"[/i] and [i]"a grizzly bear is equal to 2.5 to 5 humans in strength"[/i].

I still think the Grizzly would win though. Gorilla's seem too thoughtful.

But apparently they can't run down hills so if you are being attacked by one, run down a hill.

Hippos can run about 30mph too and are also bad-ass. I wonder if they could have a grizzly or a gorilla?

Hmmmmm hippos are badass. Rhinos are a bit more badass though.
Whatever breed you are, you ain't standing after being charged by one of those. Natures tanks.

Yeah, rhinos seemed a bit obvious though. Hippos look fat and dopey but are nasty little ****ers.

Grizz Vs Rhino, depends on terrain. If the Rhino could get a charge in that the rizzly failed to dodge it could be game over.

I hope you don't mind but I thought would check on that fact, just to be sure like, before testing it in a real life situation. And as I suspected, Grizzlies can indeed run down a hill.....and rather well in fact ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I did say apparently ๐Ÿ˜‰ my source is clearly useless. I have enough to worry about at the moment with pigeons and squirrels to care about grizzlies.

Hippos are badder than rhinos - obvious because at West Midlands Safari Park the former are caged up whereas the latter walk around the cars (on the 2% of the time that they are not asleep in their shed).

p.s. I think a tiger could take either a grizzly or a gorilla.

Wasn't this once a question on QI? Im sure they said the bear beat all hands down. Tigers in one swipe of the bears paw if I recall.

Caveat being QI is late night tv and i may have been over graped.

I'd pay to watch it mind you. It would make the best touring circus ever.

QI did say that a bear would kill a lion straight away. Because lions are not used to being punched about and have thin skulls, so one smack an they're down. There is hard evidence though because the Romans used to actually do this stuff for entertainment rather than just theorise about it.

I wonder what COULD take a grizzly though? Elephant, through sheer size? Human of course, because of our exception brain power allowing us to manufacture guns and RPGs and things.

Dolphins could - they would devise a plan, surround it and nudge it to death.

Aside from man, Hippos are the second biggest killer in Africa.

The first is the mosquito.

We're not looking for the most hospitable animal!

Having been to the northlands, I can confirm that the grizzly is one serious contender for respect...

Came across a number of grizzlies - not for nothing is their latin name Ursus arctos horribilus.

One animal I realy would not want to meet in the woods though is the wolverine - bad, bad, bad...

i'm sorry but these are the baddest/kick arse animals (don't let their size deceive you ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜€

Okay, taking size out of the equation, what would be the bestest, baddest, beastliest?

Probably some insect or other?

And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

All I see is a lot of running about in that vid.

I don't see anyone getting crushed to death.

I don't see any cars being torn open and destroyed...

A Grizzly would kill one of those with the bat of a paw.

An adult gorilla killed a baby one in London Zoo. ๐Ÿ™ Happens quite a lot in the wild, still sad though.

You'd think a bear having claws would have an advantage, but a gorilla, by not having claws, could probably operate a radio and call in an air strike.
