Who Do You Think Would Win In A Fight Between A Brown Bear And A Rhino?

In other news, I just discovered that it's Ms. Liandra_Dahl's birthday in a few days. Feel free to shower her with appropriately-sized image-based gifts! Let me start, with a zombie fighting a shark;

O...wait. It's her birthday, not mine. Okay, this might go down a little better...

Have a good one hon!

A Rhino. A bear can't get close enough with that big horn sticking out. Well wait. Who's turf are they on? A mountain side, the rhino wouldn't have a chance... Big ol ass would fall over trying to stand up.

...The bear would have a clear advantage.

The bear is smarter than the rhino, so I'm bear all the way. Besides, what do rhinos eat? No-one knows, it's a mystery (*) Therefore, the bear wins.

* Yes, I know they eat grass, but it's better telling of the story with the 'mystery' part.

Only the polar bear could whup the brown bear's arse on ice. David Attenborough says it's so.

Mine is on the 22 of Feb. I will be 40, am I officially an dirty old bastard then?

Happy Birthday Lovely Liandra.

PS a Rino would beat the crap out of a bear if it was smart enought and could see further than its horn.

Maybe Discovery can do an episode on this? Too many variables to contend with; for my meager ass anyway...

Oops, forgot liandra's flowers.

Stew you can't possibly have gain the title of dirty ol' anything at 40. I can give you a few years and I haven't managed to become one yet. Maybe I'm doing something wrong (or should that be right?).

Back on the topic of the thread;

I wish the lovely Liandra the happiest of Birthdays and I hope with all my heart that she gains all of her heart's desires.

I'd send another big hug but the forum won't let me, so the last one will have to suffice xx

Happy birthday Liandra

Stew, you are just a kid, wait a few decades and wallow like a rhino, then you can be a horny dirty old sumpin'.

If ya want a bear to take on a rhino - ger a big grizzly in the spring.

Personally I doubt either could kill the other if things were on a sort of level playing field. A thousand pound bear would have a tough time knocking down a one ton rhino with darned near armour for skin. The rhino would have a really hard time catching the bear. But if push came to shove - bear. Teeth, claws, speed and agility over weight, armor, aggression but not much turning circle.

Little known fact. I once supplied an African Safari company with the steel for a rhino pen. Six inch double extra heavy pipe was the spec. A six inch pipe with a half inch wall, takes a hell of a lot of effort to bend.

Grizzly Bears are not that strong, but they will rip right through a 2x4 reinforced solid door, drag the fridge out in to the yard and demolish it for fun.

On Great Bear Lake, the test if the bear chasing you was a brown bear or a grizzly was easy. Climb a tree. If the bear climbs right up after you - its a brown bear. If the bear can't climb - its a grizzly, so it will just shake the tree until you fall out.

liandra_dahl · February 24th, 2006 12:59 PM

liandra_dahl · February 24th, 2006 01:05 PM

blissed · February 24th, 2006 05:12 PM

If your birthday was yesterday it would have fallen on International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. http://library.thinkquest.org/2886/feb.htm
But as it is, it falls on National Tortilla Chip Day. Which is nice

Thank you, V2, for being the only person to take my hypothetical seriously! (And where have you been, btw?)
