Who would win in a fight, A Bear or a Tiger?

>>2202005
The tiger

>>2202005
As far as i know tigers are better at stealth attacks, so i guess whomever gets their prefered situation.

>>2202009
>>2202011
Wouldn't the bear kill the tiger with one swipe? Even if the tiger got to the bear first.

>>2202005
Strictly a question of which bear and which tiger out of all of them on earth

Tigers are hunters but bears are brawlers, I'd go with the bear.

>>2202005
Depending on the bear but nothing bar the biggest african animals could beat a fully grown bear in full retard protection mode.

The T.rex

Tiger.

Tigers can use all their limbs to kill and they go for the back to sink their teeth in the jugular from behind. More flexibility. They're built to take down huge herbivores.

Bear just seems too slow. And no, bears can't kill "anything in one swipe".

>>2202005
Anyone who has answered this question so far is a fucking moron.

As the other anon mentioned, we need species/subspecies, and also masses for each animal. The question is unanswerable otherwise.

A Siberian tiger would demolish a giant panda, but a polar bear would crush a Sumatran tiger. Think a little before you ask such stupid questions

very hard to say, I'd say a draw, the bear would kill the tiger first but the bear would die from bleeding and infections

>>2202183
Okay it's a conglomerate of all current species of bear alive today vs. a conglomerate of all tiger subspecies alive today.

They each gain a little weight and height for each member added.

The bear can climb trees, swim for miles, has thick fur and blubber for protection, can eat anything from whales to bamboo, has a 6 foot long tongue that it can use as a whip, stands at 18 feet tall and weighs at least 2,000 pounds.

The tiger is just a slightly longer and heavier normal tiger.

Bears win, no contest, this thread is over.

From what I recall, most encounters in the wild have ended with the tiger winning. Not by a huge amount. They tend to avoid each other though.

Just so I'm clear, you are looking at the pic in OPs post of the fucking jungle book, yet can't make the leap that it's a Bengal Tiger and a Sloth Bear?

How's the weather in moronland?

>>2202372
Makes sense, tigers are adapted to bringing down dangerous prey much larger then themselves. Agreed that most large predators tend to avoid conflict with each other though, neither party would want to risk injury.

It's a fucking cartoon you idiot, he's not literally asking about a fight between fucking Sher Khan and Balu. The image was just relevant so he used it.

Keep in mind that baloo was a sloth bear, which tend to be quite a bit smaller than Indian tigers.

Tiger wins

>>2203053
From a book on Indian mammals, circa mid-19th century:

>[The sloth bear] is also more inclined to attack man unprovoked than almost any other animal, and casualties inflicted by it are unfortunately very common, the victim being often terribly disfigured even if not killed, as the bear strikes at the head and face. Blanford was inclined to consider bears more dangerous than tigers...

A large male sloth bear can achieve mass parity with a small male Bengal tiger comfortably. If both weighed about 180 kg, the fight should be impressive, though the tiger would be the favorable victor, at least 3:2.

All I'm saying is not to underestimate the ursid; it is an incredibly pugnacious animal with an armory to match.

The carnivore equivalent of the Navy Seals copypasta.

Honestly, pretty situational. A tiger will go for the throat, but if the tiger cant get there first the bear would for sure win

I was actually a pretty prolific poster there; my name was "Metazoan" if you wanna look me up.

What is the perception of Carnivora on /an/?

>>2202183
>>2202054
I dont understand how autistic you have to be to seriously sit there and ponder this. The point is that the person is most likely talking about the biggest "baddest" examples of each species, that's the spirit of these "fight club" type questions. So unless specified otherwise its safe to assume they mean the upper end of size and weight for both animals.

>>2202700
>implying anything beats a Polar Bear

>>2203205
No, you were just stupid enough for the lack of specificity not to stand out to you.

For people with IQ's above 80, the question is glaringly fucking retarded. It's like asking "cat vs dog who wins?" Or " guy vs girl who wins?"

It's the type of shit only a 10-year old would ask without giving specifics.

>>2202795
This fucking meme EVERY time a bear vs tiger thread comes up ANYWHERE. Tigers kill hibernating bears, usually females or younger smaller males. But fully grown males will chase tigers off their kills with ease because the tiger fucking knows it will most likely die fighting the bear.

>>2203207
No you're too fucking autistic to make the reasonable assumption that a person making a "BURR VS TAYGUR GAIZ" thread without giving any specifics is probably some fuckwit who wants to know whether or not the MOST BASASSEST TIGER VS THE BIGGEST BEAR WHO WINS XDDD. It's literally that 80% of the time, it's a simple matter of understanding how people fucking think half the time, which you're too autistic to do and require asinine levels of confirmation and detail to make a simple assumption which tends to be right.

Or maybe I'm being a jaded asshole who has seen too many of these types of threads on various forums and it always boils down to "i wanted to know who between the strongest of each species would win".

>>2203216
I'd call it the latter. Stop trying to validate your assumptions by passing them off as the only reasonable ones.

I can. I fapped to that last week.

tiger. they weigh more and eat humans preferentially. Bears only eat humans as last resort or because its convenient.

Nigga, you seen what tigers fight against? Big fat grass eatin fags. Bears will fight each other for fun and fucking push dumpsters like they wuz beachballs. Do you not realize the strength in that?

>>2203365
Suicide from redundancy doesnt count

Ahmibiki the Poacher wins either way.

Depends on the bear and the tiger. A black bear can't take shit, but a Grizzly would hold its own or even kill most big cats. A polar bear would kill any big cat without question.
