Who would win between a bear and a bull?
At the outset, the bear would usually hang back, taking a defensive posture on its hind legs, while the bull was often the first to attack, charging with head down and horns lethal. It was generally understood by eyewitness accounts that the bear held the advantage in the fray.
Among the pastimes popular at the time were fights to the death between grizzly bears and bulls staged as Sunday entertainment for the after-church crowd. “A bull and bear fight after the sabbath services was indeed a happy occasion,” the historian Hubert Howe Bancroft wrote in 1888.
“Killing a bison is not an easy task for any animal, particularly not a grizzly,” EcoTour biologist Tenley Thompson explains. Spoiler alert and content warning: the bear wins.
With the bear's massive body, superior muscle, surprising speed and evolutionary armory, there really isn't any way a gorilla wins the fight. Every attempt it makes would be thwarted by at least one of these factors.
Most other animals have more to fear. But tigers, other bears, wolves, and especially humans have been known to attack and kill bears.

Hippos are significantly larger than grizzly bears and are speedy themselves, so they quite able to attack. The hippo is protected with its tough skin from the bear's teeth and claws, allowing it to use its large size, around ten times that of a grizzly bear, to defeat the bear.
The bull is a lot stronger (it can flip over cars), it is very fast and agile for it's size, it's fearless and will not give up and it has sharp horns that point forward (not upward like buffaloes and other bull species). Those horns are perfect for goring the tiger.
A bear would win a fight against a lion. Bears have the advantage in just about every aspect, from size to offensive capabilities. The only time that a lion would win is if it managed to sneak up and ambush a bear, leaping onto it and biting into its head with such power that it shattered the skill.
In a fight with a small moose or a calf, the black bear would probably win. They are faster and more agile than moose, and their jaws are stronger. Black bears are estimated to kill more than 25,000 moose calves a year.
Who would win bear vs mountain lion?
Bears are faster than mountain lions. The average speed for bears in the Americas is about 25-35 mph. The mountain lion only reaches speeds of about 30 mph. In terms of agility, the mountain lion is superior.
(In 1989, according to The Wolves of Denali, a dozen wolves of the East Fork Pack in Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve were seen running down and killing two yearling grizzlies despite their mother's defensive efforts.)
They are both highly aggressive creatures, so a prolonged fight could be brutal. Even then, the lion would probably come out on top, making up for its relative lack of stamina with sheer power. A lion has a good chance of killing a gorilla in a one-on-one fight. The only thing is that a lion rarely fights alone.
Although a silverback gorilla is very fast, quite strong, and has a longer arm span, there is no way a silverback could defeat the much larger and faster grizzly bear in a fair fight.
A human can fight a gorilla, but the outcome wouldn't be good. The gorilla is simply too powerful. If you had to go up against any animal in the world, a gorilla would be one of the worst draws you could get. You can only survive a gorilla fight if the gorilla chooses to let you, assuming you're unarmed.
1. Dung Beetle. A dung beetle is not only the world's strongest insect but also the strongest animal on the planet compared to body weight. They can pull 1,141 times their own body weight.
The results show that the elephant wears the crown in the animal kingdom – but only slightly. Elephants had a win rate of 74%, just fractions of a percent ahead of their single-horned cousins – the rhinoceros – in second place, also on 74%. Not far behind in third place is the grizzly bear, at 73%.
8 Animals Can Kill a Hippopotamus
Even for the lions, it takes them to be in a group to kill a hippopotamus. Yet, elephants, hyenas, and crocodiles have records of killing hippos, but on occasions. However, in the case of rhinos, they're slightly capable of killing a hippo.
Although the gorilla is more skillful and more intelligent than the hippo, its massive size disadvantage is simply too much to overcome. Thus the undisputed winner is the hippopotamus. The chances of actually seeing a hippo fight a gorilla, however, are close to zero.
It is a common misconception that shotgun ammunition is a good way to chase away a bear. In reality, target or bird-hunting shot is an ineffective solution that often leads to unnecessary outcomes. Bears have relatively thin skin and shotgun ammunition can be extremely harmful and even lethal.
What animal kills the most humans?
The ultimate example of a very small animal with a very big impact. In terms of the number of humans killed every year, mosquitos by far hold the record, being responsible for between 725,000 and 1,000,000 deaths annually.
Hippos are significantly larger than grizzly bears and are speedy themselves, so they quite able to attack. The hippo is protected with its tough skin from the bear's teeth and claws, allowing it to use its large size, around ten times that of a grizzly bear, to defeat the bear.
The bull is a lot stronger (it can flip over cars), it is very fast and agile for it's size, it's fearless and will not give up and it has sharp horns that point forward (not upward like buffaloes and other bull species). Those horns are perfect for goring the tiger.
In a fight between a tiger and a grizzly bear wins whoever strikes first. The tiger would win if it successfully used its powerful bite on the neck since it is very hard to get out of a tiger's jaws. Once the bear manages to get the first swing at the tiger's spine or legs, the fight is over.
Assuming they're both at their optimum physical power, the bull will be nearly three times the lion's weight (1400-1600 lb versus 500-600 lb), far more aggressive, and capable of killing the lion whether it's in front, behind, or below.
