Have to say that at first I thought it would be the Tiger but you could be right about the Bear. Especially if say the prize was a Moose to eat.

But would the bear be able to get the metal lid off the pot if it was a strawberry moose?????

Sorry but my money would be on the tiger. First of all the bear would need to get this 'killer' swipe in and I'm not so sure the tiger is simply going to allow this to happen. He's simply not going to stand there and as it were 'trade punches' is he. I think the tiger will use all his stealth and agility to outwit the frankly cumbersome bear.

If the fight were in the Hundred Acre Wood then I guess Tigger would actually defeat the slow and bumbling Winnie the Poo.
Siberian tiger mashes the bear :p

Bears run at the same speed as a racehorse.

Yes but tigger has the disadvantage that he bounces around on his @rse

A fat pie eating racehorse? Tigers must run faster. Besides the Tiger can sick the bear while its collecting honey in Winnie the Pooh Stylee.

A grizzly can run considerably faster than an olympic sprinter. A good analogy is that if you are standing 10 feet from your car door (taking a piccie of the little cutie) and the bear is 100 feet away, you wouldn't make it back into the car to listen to the traffic bulletin in Banff if the big G decided to have a meal.
A large grizzly measures in excess of 6 feet tall when on all fours (from ground to hump). In excess of 9 feet when posing on two legs.
Grizzlies can be in excess of 450lbs (and are still nippy, see above).
A favourite killer blow if to bite the face off of the prey.
They are known to climb to about 18 feet up a tree.
.............. not very cumbersome eh?

The Bear every time if the Tiger couldn't run away. Just like a large dog would easily deal with a cornered cat.

I read this somewhere recently and was astounded.

Who would make it to the final in the 100 Acre Wood fighting olympics? I reckon Kanga would be a shoe-in (protective mother, kangaroos can box a bit) but I'm not sure who the other finalist would be; Tigger with his bounce; Owl with his cunning; or the rabbit with his illegal rabbit punches

............. oh and if hiking in bear country in Canada or America be sure to invest in "bear bells" to hang from your rucksack and/or whistle, sing or talk loudly. Apparently it's not good to suprise a grizzly!
Oh, and don't buy a book on "bear attacks" and proceed to recount the gory details to your other half. Tends to put the wind up them and they won't leave the car!
Oh, and when your staying in the middle of no where and there's a pile of sh*t outside the cabin door, the wife is right, it is bear sh*t, NOT horse sh*t!!
:eek:

Try and outrun a bear! on second thoughts don't as this is a certain way to get killed. The best tactic is to stand your ground to the charging bear and it will probably just run off again. This strikes me as the 'least likely to be followed' piece of advice ever.

Definately Kanga ( as they can be fierce in winter ) and Rabbit who is the only one with an ounce of malice in him ( he gets jealous )
How do i know this? because i read Winnie the Pooh every night to my 18 month old son:)
Common Name: Tiger Common Name: Tiger
Species: Panthera tigris
Diet: Carnivore; deer, elk and small animals?
Weight: 200-800 pounds
Height at shoulder: 2.5 - 3.5 feet
Body length: 5-10 ft. (nose to tail tip)
Tail length: 24-36 inches
Subspecies: 4? left out of 8
Range/Distribution: Asia: China to Siberia
Lifespan: About 15 years in the wild; 20+ years in captivity
AWESOME POWER and SPEED!
POWER: One of the most powerful land carnivores in the world (exceeded in strength but not speed by the Kodiak bear), the tiger is a massively built cat of awesome size and power.
The Siberian Tiger is the largest cat in the world. The biggest one ever recorded was 1,025 pounds, while the average weight for male Siberian Tigers is 500-900 pounds. Male Siberian Tigers are usually about 3.5 feet tall at the shoulder and about 13 feet long from nose to tail.
SPEED: The Siberian Tiger can run up to 50 miles per hour over the snow if they want to. That's only 10 miles per hours slower than the cheetah (the fastest cat in the world)!
So basically the Tigers faster and more agile but not quite as strong as a kodiak bear so presumeably the grizzly is toast but a kodiak bear might win?

Nah the lest followed piece of advice ever would be "wet paint, don't touch" :p

From reading the aforementioned book, the authority who wrote it details attacks and suggests ways in which the people could/should have responded. Hindsight is great isn't it!
Anyway, he suggests standing your ground, running away, "playing dead", throwing objects to distract/threaten the bear and climbing trees have all been effective in surviving bear attacks.
The trick is though to determine (in normally a very short period of time), why you are being attacked and so choose the most suitable option to minimise injury or worse. That's all very well, but I haven't got time to read chapter 3 "Attacks from grizzlies with cubs" to establish my best course of action! Don't forget that the maximum height a grizzly is known to have climbed a tree is 18 feet, be sure to take a tape measure.
I promise to stop boring the sh*t out of you now, but before I finish please remember that if you "play dead" the grizzly may decide to eat your arm. Be sure to do what the chap did who suffered this without a murmur, he escaped with his life but wipes his *rse with his left hand now!
:eek:

But Poo just sits on his.
Still Tigger - no doubt about it.
An uber clever bear could pick up a nearby log and dispose of the tiger in one swift movement. Simple really.
When I went to Alaska we were given fairly detailed advice on how to avoid bear attacks.
The best they offered was 'carry a small bell and tinkle it at all times'. The bear will avoid you.
Good advice maybe. But not if you go to Alaska wanting to see bears...

Blimey....bears attack cruise liners? They must be real nasty muthas.
'Liners'???
Where DO you get this prehistoric vocabulary of yours?

Did the Captain allow you to take the ship's bell onshore ?

Is "floating holiday camps" the correct phrase?

Wow - has cruising vocabulary gone "bling" ?
("I name this mutherfcukertub the Pride of Detroit")
There is no singly accurate 'phrase' other than 'ships' which tells you nothing.
Any more than there is a single phrase to describe BBS posters. (Other than 'posters').
There IS however a single phrase to describe the Contributions of Pidster. I'll check through Alf's posts to see if I can find it again...

There are so many types of holiday camp its like comparing a Maserati with a Daewoo. Different holiday camps for different tastes. Personally I prefer my holiday camps where I don't have to sit at the Camp Leader's table during the musical.
Personally I wouldn't comment on holiday camps without having been to one.
Otherwise I'd be revealing nowt but prejudice and ignorance :)

Not even a floating one ?
Not really.
There are a number of ships quite like that out there, but I've never been on one.
In fact, whilst I have been on QM2 (as a VIP you understand... ;)) I don't think it's quite for me. They hide the numbers of passengers well, but - except for Queen's Grill guests - it's all a bit too large and impersonal for me...
