Which animal would be a better triathlete? And which one would win in a fight?
We had a great season long debate among my swim team when I was in university about who would win in a fight between a great ape, a grizzly bear and a tiger. The debate obviously began during one of those drunken who would win between batman and spiderman types arguments, but it raged on for almost 8 months. Guys took very strong stances in support of their chosen animal and some guys even went to the extraordinary level (for lazy drunk university students) to do extensive research on theri chosen animals. We even established rules of engagement.
To this day - 10 years later - you can still get some of the guys going by simply saying that, " An grizzly would destroy a tiger in a level ground battle without trees" or which ever combination most offended them.
Myself, I voted for the grizzly. Short burst speed, raw power, and reach.
