After getting inspired by the ''Human vs. Dog'' thread I decided to make this one.
The largest land animal, the African Elephant, a herbivore, vs the largest bear species in the world, Polar bear. A carnivore.

So.... Let's imagine now that these animals are in a medium sized room, giving them enough space to move around a bit.
There is no way out, and they are ferociously mad and are about to fight to the DEATH.
Which one will win? Why?


Let's take the animals in the pictures I provided as the fighters, because an African Elephant is most dangerous with the tusks and full size, and the Polar bear is most dangerous in it's full size ofcourse, too.

To get an idea how dangerous Polar bears and Elephants can be I got a two links here to show what they can kill:
Elephant can tear Rhinos to pieces and stomp them to oblivion: + Show Spoiler +
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/642731.stm

Polar bears can tear fully grown 2 tonnes Walruses to pieces: + Show Spoiler +


Fighting techniques for Polar bear: Clawing, biting and mauling.
Fighting techniques for the African Elephant: Stomping, piercing and goring.

Answer the poll and comment below your thoughts.

Wouldn't the elephant weigh like five times as much as the bear? Pretty sure the elephant got this.

Check the video of the polar bear, it absolutely decimates the bull walrus and drags it around like a rag doll.

The bear would claw at the elephants leg and the elephant would be like 'yo man what are you doing' and stomp his face in

The bear would overheat really quickly unless the room was air conditioned in which case the elephant would be fucked.

Did there has been a confirmed report of a tiger that killed a bull elephant? It wasn't direct death, but the trunk was so clawed and ruined that the elephant died of starvation because he couldn't use it for food.

The tiger didn't get harmed. At all.

I vote for the bear simply because in the picture he is hitting the other bear in the crotch. Bears fight dirty, bears fight to win.

This is like saying who would win? an ant which can lift 10 x it's weight or a persons boot which happens to be crushing it.

I doubt a polar bear would fuck with an elephant lol
FoTG fighting!

Elephant for sure!

A tiger is not a good comparison, tigers are quick and agile compared to a bear.

No land animal could reasonably be expected to defeat an african elephant. But i guess as the one guy said a tiger could possibly do it. Maybe an anaconda could do it? And of course venemous animals.

Please explain to me how an anaconda could take down an elephant?

There is no way an African Elephant doesn't win against ANY land animal. Seriously.

An anaconda? for real? your gonna put a snake (a fucking big one) up against an animal whose speciality is stomping things to death? in a straight up fight: elephant > every land animal

Lol a pointless thread if I ever seen one.

If you guys are interested in animal vs animal, japanese has this show where they put 2 injects/spiders in a small cage, and watch them fight.

Example.


They stop trying to escape, and start fighting at about 1:40
