I feel like me and my mammalian distant cousin share some behavioral parallels both being apex alphas and all, Almost feel we could see eye to eye with mutual respect. Game recognize game if you will

A grizzly bear. I think I could reason with a grizz.

Great White all day. They're not territorial, they don't necessarily hunt humans and a speargun to the nose would probably deter it. Grizzlys on the other hand might just want to eat your face off for sport, they can run 35 mph and climb trees like chimpanzees. That walking stick ain't doing shite

I should have said Mountain Lions. As you say, not all cougars are bad. Not bad at all.

The bear all day. According to an episode of King of Queens, Doug Heffernan learned on a documentary that if you run downhill you can escape a bear.

Grizzly at least you can utilize the terrain to your advantage and put some distance


Grizzlies run about 35 mph. I cannot put any distance at those speeds. Silverbacks get all the hype, but grizzlies are pretty amazing creatures, too.

Why would you give a true weapon to the swimmer but not the guy on land?

Bad premise.

Grizzlies are also more aggressive than Great Whites. Sharks tend to bite humans out of confusion or curiousity. Shark attacks tend to be a single bite whereas a Grizzley is going to shred and eat you till you're dead.


White shark attack behavior has been documented to be more aggressive with a bite usually to the legs or stomach. The stomach biting has become more common as they have learned to go after the nutrient dense liver just like orcas do to them. White sharks usually bite once and wait for the animal to succumb and then feed.

How deep of water am I in when the great white attack?

If anyone wants to start a thread, this 24 year old poured sweet tea on a man for not standing for the national anthem. She is pretty cute.

quote:

WAITRESS ARRESTED AFTER POURING SWEET TEA ON CUSTOMER WHO "KEPT SCROLLING HIS PHONE" DURING NATIONAL ANTHEM THAT PLAYED ON RESTAURANT SPEAKER

Tallahassee, FL -- A 24-year-old Cracker Barrel waitress is facing assault and disorderly conduct charges after she allegedly poured a full glass of sweet tea on a customer's head because he was scrolling his phone during the national anthem which was playing on the restaurant's speaker system between a George Strait song and a Dolly Parton track.
According to the arrest report, Shelby Maynard of Crawfordville was delivering drinks when the anthem began. She immediately stopped, stood at attention with a tray of four sweet teas balanced on one hand, and closed her eyes. When she opened them she saw the customer, a 38-year-old man visiting from New Jersey, scrolling through Instagram.
"She stared at him for the entire anthem," said one witness. "Like she was memorizing his face for a future court martial."
When the anthem ended Maynard allegedly walked to his table, said, "This is for every soldier who died so you could scroll," and poured 16 ounces of sweet tea directly on his head.
The man told officers he didn't even realize the anthem was playing because he was "looking at a video of a dog on a skateboard."
The situation escalated when Maynard allegedly told the dining room the man "disrespected the troops," rallied a table of four elderly men to confront him, and refused to bring napkins because "traitors dry themselves."
When the manager asked Maynard to apologize she reportedly said, "I will apologize when he apologizes to every veteran who ever lived."
"She poured sweet tea on a man for watching a dog video," said Officer Keith Underwood. "That's a new one."
The skateboarding dog has declined to comment.


The picture is on IG so I can't post it.

Depends on several things.

Great whites attack from below so do i have a visual of the GW in the water or is it unknown?

If i have a visual and have a spear gun, i would take that chance. Sharks do not like being poked by sharp points so if you bump the GW with the tip of the spear, it’s gonna swim off

This question is preposterous. A more pertinent question is If you were sent back in time for a week, could you eat a whole dinosaur?

Spear gun with a great white all day. You

You have literally no chance with a grizzly. Even if you try to utilize the terrain to your advantage, they'll still catch you. They can get up to 40 MPH, their bite force is up to 1200 PSI, and they'll start eating you from your intestines. You're fricked if they get you. A great white will at least end it quickly.

Great White for the simple fact that once I realize I'm dead I can go in head first and hope to feel less . Getting shredded by a Grizzly seems more painful.
