Admit it: your entire life you've wondered what would happen if a bear and a lion fought.
Apparently our good friends in Korea wondered the same thing.
Now, if it had been a male lion and say a brown bear we'd have a show. But I'll settle for a female lion and a black bear, under the theory that "any bear-lion fight is good."
So here's my question:

If it were the largest(Kodiak, Polar?) bear and the largest lion I say the bear wins. In this video the lion scores more points but the Bear is like Rocky Balboa (like a piece of iron) and is too tough to lose. It's a draw.
Through much of the video, it's obvious the lioness wants to back down..I mean, what's she fighting for? These 2 pathetic animals are locked up in some zoo. I see no cubs, no carcass they may be fighting over. So, what's the point? But, the bear is persistent, forcing the lioness to fight. She's apparently the winner. My question is: why would we want to see this? I find it disgusting. As bad as cockfighting, or pit bulls. No more of this, please!
First of all, nobody forced you to watch this. And, while I didn't actually spell it out, bears and lions don't generally meet each other coming down the street, so you should have been aware it was a contrived situation. I'm not in favor of artificial fights like this, but since it already happened, I thought some people might be interested.
Oh, and FYI: feel free to criticize my editorial decisions, but be a man and select a name so I can at least call you something. Cool?
Lions work in prides, mostly the females doing the work so that the lazy males might come in and eat at their kingly leisure (ironic, no?). As far as I know bears do not operate socially (and are sooo dreary at cocktail parties), but I think that one on one a bear should whoop lion heinie. Then again, if you had a polar bear (arguably biggest) and THREE lions...
Interestingly enough, bear-baiting (one staked bear, three dogs, a pit, a bookie, and all the popcorn the viewing public could stand) was quite a fashionable bloodsport in Shakespearean times.
