Is the black bear stronger then a polar bear?

Answer 1

Polar bear, because when both the brown bear and the polar bear stand up, the polar bear would be taller by about 3 feet, and have more mass. Polar bear would kill brown bear if it wanted to, but not easily.

Answer 2

There has been much study done on the relative sizes of the two bears, and large males of the coastal brown bear race can be as big as polar bears, even bigger. In confrontations between the two, polar bears seemed to allow themselves to be dominated by the brown/grizzly bear.

However, most people seemed convinced that the Polar Bear is the winner in this case mostly due to an obvious size differential between the two species and a more carnivorous diet than that of a Grizzly.

Answer 3

Depends on the species of tiger. In most cases it could be said that a polar bear would be stronger than a tiger by the fact that polar bears have been known to pull Narwhals and beluga whales (which often weigh over half a ton) out of the water onto the ice, whereas most tigers are only capable of taking down prey that is a little more to near equal their weight and size.

Tigers are capable of phenomenal feats of strength. There are many instances in the text. In one, a large male Bengal tiger grabbed an elephant weighing the better part of three tons by the root of the tail, and by using short jerks, pulled the elephant onto its rear. In another, a tiger had pulled a dead buffalo weighing more 1400 pounds into a swamp, and 13 men could not budge the dead animal.

A tiger in Viet Nam leaped a five foot fence carrying a young buffalo of nearly 400 pounds with it. Tigers commonly kill gaur (the huge bison of India, which may weigh 1700 pounds) and buffalo of over 1200 pounds.

Corbett's idiosyncratic "Temple" tiger carried a dead cow, weighing seven hundred pounds, up a steep hill for two miles, negotiating huge rocks and other obstructions.

To sum, overall, a 1200 polar bear would be more powerful than a 500 Bengal tiger. But pound for pound, give the edge to the cat.

Answer 4

Depends on the size of the comatants. Normally, small bears are weaker than tigers, but a larger bear would be somewhat stronger.

Answer 2

Most bears, like grizzly bears, brown bears, polar bears, and some large black bears, are all stronger than tigers or lions are.

Answer 5

Black bears are much smaller than polar bears. Hence, polar bears are far stronger than black bears. The only bear that could rival a polar bear is the Kodiac bear, a subspecies of brown bear.
