Is this the easiest question ever?

Easily gator. Hell I'm confident I've been swimming near a large gator or two. In Louisiana those gators know their damn place.

Plus gators are coldblooded and don't have to eat all the time. They're less likely to be hungry and hunting. Bears are always looking for food.

Been in the water with gators, still alive.
Saw one grizzly in my life.. standing up looking at us crossing a meadow in high grass. Scary as hell.
I'll take the gator.

Grizzly bear can run, climb, and swim better than me.

They are far less skiddish of humans.

Gators are very skiddish of humans, can't climb trees, and have bad eye sight.



This is seriously not a contest. Bewildering people have chosen the Grizzly. People wrestle wild gators all the time and run up on them to scare them away, shite I've done this plenty of times on a golf course. Ain't nobody doing that with a big ole grizzly.

Can anyone watch this and say "I'll take my chances with the Grizzly over a large gator that mostly chills on the bank": LINK

that bison part was amazing

it shows just how explosive/fast grizzlies are

it also shows how even grizzlies don't frick with fully grown bison

Alligators aren't even that scary to me.

They can run in short bursts pretty quickly, but that is 99% of the time to get away. They aren't running through the woods after you. They are cold blooded.

And they prey on much smaller animals than a 6'2" 200 lb. man. I've encountered large alligators plenty of times in my life and they always go away from us.

We had one at a fishing camp swim towards a dog that was being run with duck buoys for training and we just slapped the water a few times and it u-turned and swam away.

Also, they've got bad eye sight, limited motion, and can't climb.

Again, ludicrous question. Grizzly bear would kill you every single time you saw it in the wild if it wanted to. There is no escape from it besides mayyyyyyyyyyyybe going into deep water if you can find some.

simply untrue. A bear cant weave through tight trees as fast as a reasonably quick person. Bears do struggle running on certain terrain. In the open, yeah you are toast but in certain terrain you could elude a bear unless it is right on you before you realize it.

Maybe, but you realize how easy it would be to run away from a gator that has 20 yard bursts (at most), drags it's belly near the ground (terrain), has bad eye sight, and can barely turn its body?

It just better not block her. Or she'll be at his next game with a sign trying to scold him for how well he ate that a-hole.

Gator isn't a good option, like I said, but you have at least a chance due to the shape of a gator, to get your arms around it. In both fights, ripping their eyes out is your only chance, and knowing that fact, I'll take the one that I could theoretically hold my arms around to try before I drowned or bled out. Getting to the gator's back would be my goal, but I have a bad feeling the death roll would happen anyway, so it'd be a loss anyway.



Get on YouTube and watch the videos of baws jumping out of boats onto gators.

You hold on, you're golden.

You frick up, they panic and swim away

Worst case, they bite your arm off and then you die

It's going downhill not uphill that is the problem for a Grizzly. You better hope they lose their damn balance going downhill, because if there's no water nearby then you're entirely fricked if they don't. Bears are terrific swimmers (especially the Polar Bear) as well, so I'm not even sure if that would get them.

You have 0 chance of doing either
