well--- in honor of Aunt Flo staying with us this week.... I've decided to explore our animal sides.
confused? don't be.
It's a common understanding that certain animals are attracted to the scent of blood, so I'm taking the two heaviest hitters and pairing them up.
so without further ado---- I give you this week's match-up....
The Great White Shark
vs
The Mighty Black Bear
Now, I know this should go without saying for most of you, but please.... let's not look too deep in to this, ok? let's not get hung up on where the fight is occurring. I realize sharks can't go on land, and you won't find a bear in the depths of the ocean. just go with it, people.
So--- did the movie Jaws really have an impact on your childhood? Were you the type that closed your eyes during Grizzly Adams??? Which is the bigger, better beast?
Ding, Ding...... let the hunt begin!

Hmmm...this one's going to require some thought. On a Monday morning I am a firm believer that thought is over rated. So I'm gonna go with your examples, jaws versus grizzy adams. Jaws scared the crap out of me. Shark would win hands down. If a bear went a few feet in the ocean thinking it could score a delicious fish, the shark would kick it's rear.
It's got the under water sneak attack going for it. Bite the achilles tendon and that bear is going down. Then munch munch munch...
This is not a battle between good ( Good guys wear white hats, Bad guys wear Black hats ) and evil.
The shark would kick the black bears skinny little butt.
If it was a brown bear,( e.g. Grizzly, kodiak, etc.) approx. 3 times larger than a BLACK BEAR, it would be a close fight BUT...
IF IT WAS A POLAR BEAR...
largest recorded was 2200+ lbs and over 12 feet long, this MOTHER would pack that shark's ass into a can of tuna fish.
Sharks can only attack head on, and have lousy manuverability, while the agile bear can spin around on a dime and has 4 claws in addition to his teeth to attack.
AND again, we would have a fair fight of WHITE vs. WHITE for all the racist bastards out there.
OINK
I'm gonna go with the shark because I'm not the best swimmer in the world & I'd probably be a nice little appetizer for a shark if I couldn't get away. It would kinda suck ass to drown by being pulled in by a shark & to feel the damn thing biting you. I would like to think I have 2 brain cells that could function well enough to escape a bear, so I'm gonna go with the shark.
The Porq stole all my thunder in terms of bear knowledge. Damn straight – the measly little black bear ain’t nothing but a Hot Pocket to the shark. Especially a great white.
Great whites don’t go that far north to see the prime example of bearness – the polar variety. Why? Because the great whites get their asses munched out by packs of killer whales. Even so – those punk dolphins (yes – orcas are dolphins – not whales – look it up) don’t mess with the absolute tip of the food pyramid. Polar bears eat everything/body they feel like. I saw ‘em patiently tear up a few beluga whales coming up for air. They can smell a seal under a foot and a half of ice a half mile away. They can swim for over 100 miles without rest in icy arctic waters – to get something to eat. If along the way something bumps into them – they eat them. End of story.
Polar bears. Love them. Fear them.
Black bears? Shit – FAO Shwarz done them in decades ago. I even think a landed great white, unable to breathe, or swim, can tackle a black bear. Like that whole mother-cub fury thing – even I can take a black bear if he took my last Bud. You look up the animal toughness rating on those things, you know what you’d find? Black bears are wedged right between sloths and kiwi. Weak…
No question this week. Maybe next week’s matchup will be more evenly matched, like the results of Carrie vs. the Red Army…
alright alright....
I thought black bears were tough. maybe I should change it to a grizzly.... arrg.
I'm going to find a bad-ass black bear. just wait. and when he shows up on your front door like the scary freaky plastic BK King.... you'll be wishin for the shark.

Just to be difficult because I can, I'm rooting for the bear. I hate sharks and I'd love to see a bear take one out. May not be all that possilbe but a girl can dream.
You know, Jaws is one of my favorite movies of all time!! I would have gone with that at one time......BUT, since moving to Montana and having black bear visit my porch (check out bear photo's at www.wildvizionz.com)
I'd have to say that bear would make me more nervous now.
I vote for bear!!
