Haha no it’s cool! I’m interested to know. You say largest..are you talking about height or wieght or them combined? Oh yeah just looked up their speed, damn they can run fast! See that was my quick research for you, haha. Hmm polar bears are experienced in killing very large prey. Bears will attack each other by starting of a scrum as the polar bear has a longer neck and longer arms they can take advantage : )
Polar bear (by Missud)
Seal pups make a welcome snack for hungry bears, but the real reward comes from catching adults. The pupping season provides a bounty that makes being a polar bear possible. Spring is the most important foraging period for the year and the bears will gorge themselves on huge meals of seal blubber. A polar bear can easily consume 20 percent of its body weight in a single meal: for an adult male, a meal this size would be roughly equivalent to eating over 200 blocks of butter. That might sound a tad fattening, and it is. Of those 200 blocks of butter, the equivalent of over 190 of them are going to be sacked right onto the bear.

giraffe-in-a-tree asked: OOH! I have a contradicting argument. Like, I know I have nothing to do with this, but here I am :p I think a Kodiak Bear would win, as the size difference between the two is very minimal, with the largest bear recorded a Kodiak Bear, but the largest average is a Polar Bear. Kodiak Bears have much longer claws which would be able to penetrate the fat of the polar bear. Alsoo, the Kodiak Bears are faster. :3 |
