    • "Animal face-off! Who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark?"

      This is an unfair question because it does not specify if the battle would take place on which of the animals' home turf. So, on land it is easily in the bears favor while in water the shark has the definite advantage.

      To make this fair I have decided to imagine this Ultimate Deathmatch to be in held in space.

      Both would be disoriented from lack of gravity but I'm sure the shark would be able to acclimate itself first because the weightlessness would be almost identical to it's ocean home. While the bear is bumbling through the air, the shark would take the opportunity to strike, killing the bear with one monstrous bite.

      The victory would be short-lived however because the shark would suffocate soon after it's celebratory meal.

      Winner?

      No one wins in the vacuum of space.

    Just wondering if you think the shark would still win if you gave the bear some swim flippers, and both of them oxygen.

    With them being more evenly matched under those circumstances, I'd have to get all scientifical. Seeing as the bear has a bite of 4,150 lbs. per square inch compared to the sharks 6,000 lbs. per square CENTIMETER...Shark still wins.

    Wow, I didn't realize the shark had such a powerful bite - he is sounding more formidable. One last caveat to throw in to the mix, what about the bears claws and opposable grip. Couldn't the bear just grab the shark and throw it into the sun? Or couldn't the bear maybe do a jujitsu chest jab and rip the shark's heart out of it's chest?

    Okay, just to humor you on this totally serious topic let's say both creatures were trained in the art of Jujitsu (which is mostly throws and submissions), I would then have to give the decision to the bear because flippers do not have the ability to properly grasp a Jujitsu gi. But this would be it's only advantage. But then, it wouldn't be to the death, only scoring points.
