Hoo'd Win? The Animal Kingdom!

[thebitterguy]

Ladies and gentlemen! Let us now turn our attention to a battle from the natural world, as two of nature's great predators face off in the Hoo'd Win arena!

Now, I ask you a question that has harried men and women through the centuries, stymied great thinkers, and turned philosophers to the bottle! Well, to another bottle.

I ask you now, this! Hoo'd win? A Liger, or a Grizzly bear?

Consider all the facts! Weigh your thoughts carefully! Ponder all the relevant data! Or just guess!

Begin! Now!

The title character in the movie Napoleon Dynamite declares ligers to be "pretty much" his favorite animals, and states that they are bred for their "skills and magic". [1]

I would say that though the Grizzly Bear is bigger and stronger and in general more dangerous, the Liger's skills and magic would likely give it an edge. Though, which schools of magic? If the Liger only knew Divination and Illusion, I'm not sure, but if it was an Evoker Liger, then most likely the Bear could be frightened by some sort of Magic Missile.

Bigger?

Ligers grow to be up to 16 fet long and are larger than both lions and tigers. I fail to see why everyone is giving the bear the size advantage.

I give the edge to the bear if for no other reason than the bear is not accustomed to g=dealing with predators anywhere near its own size whereas ligers (if wild ligers were common) would be used to taking down large prey such as elephants.

Then you'd give the edge to the Liger, right? You wrote "bear".

Grizzly Bears weigh up to 1500 lbs, while Ligers generally top out at 1000.
