do you think a lion could fuck up a grizzly bear?

An average sized adult male African Elephants weight 10x as much as a big polar bear. The biggest recorded males were around 10 tons. The biggest polar bears are about 3/4 a ton.
Again, you vs a 20lb dog.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
So what you're saying is that, "maybe" was the correct answer.

I'd bet my life's savings on a Hippo (if the battleground included some water area).

Eh. I'd take an elephant, hippo, or even a honey badger over a lion. Bears...hmmm...tough one though.

Nah. I think people just don't really get the weight differences between African Elephants and everything else.
Elephants just do whatever the hell they want.

The green guy:

Besides, we've already seen how that would play out:
Now a pack of Utahraptors, that would be an interesting fight.

The JP raptors are much closer in size to Utahraptors than they are to Velociraptors.

there's a meme for that
Siberian tiger is the biggest cat. In fact I looked it up and one site says Siberian tigers are around 700 lbs and another site talking of range of lion sizes has the bigger ones at 400 or so lbs. So bigger by quite a bit. Also, Tigers and lions are very genetically similar and I think they believe they split off from the same species at some point.
I would say if you let the tiger hunt naturally and let them use their typical hunting style involving stealth tiger could win but out right out them against each other grizzly bear is going to win. As for lion I'm not sure.
Oh, as for that vulnerable picture, I believe the tiger when he hunts a bear (not Grizzlies), they jump on their back and break it (but I could be completely wrong on that).

Yeah, outside of humans (and potentially other bull elephants) nothing is going to kill a healthy adult elephant. Only extremely desperate predators will go for even young or weak elephants (well, crocodiles will take a shot at a young one if they're close, without being desperate) and even then the success rate is... Not good.
A healthy adult might as well be literally invincible as far as other animals are concerned. I mean look at the fucking things, lol. A big cat for example would have to literally JUMP to get close to anything vulnerable, and even then they're not doing much of anything at all. The elephant on the other hand could pretty much will anything to be dead if it so desired.

Rhinos are incredibly powerful beasts as well, probably second only to elephants.
Just look how high this warthog gets tossed effortlessly.
Or how it pushes this buffalo around like a ragdoll. Not for the lighthearted.

You can find pictures of elephants doing the same thing to pretty much every big African animal. They can be assholes.

I'm aware.
They're actually based off of older depictions of deinonychus, but even then they're much too big (though Lost World actually scaled them down quite a bit).
This thread just reminded me of Carnivora Forum.
And no, the grizzly bear would win. As for tigers, my understanding is that tiger predation of brown bears is primarily juveniles and females; you wouldn't be likely to see adult male brown bears falling victim, and presumably in these hypotheticals that's what you're talking about. And as kswiston says, a large part of the equation is the ambush.

The Utahraptor discovery was published as the Jurassic Park film was coming out, so it retroactively legitimized their large raptors (even if they were misnamed).
I think they wanted something that was as tall as a man, and even Deinonychus was like 4 feet tall. Their tails just give them a lot of length.

That mid-air paw swipe. Holy shit.

There was a really fascinating case about a decade ago where adolescent male elephants in an area without a dominant bull elephant went a bit crazy on their hormones and started killing by goring them with their tusks. The park managed to solve the problem by flying in two adult males over forty years old, and their presence calmed the adolescents back to equilibrium.
This video of an elephant and a hippo isn't violent; it's just kind of funny.
I've always liked the T. rex vs. African Elephant arguments.
The king of the jungle would be the Tiger.

Why was the hippo trying to eat the elephant's ass?
I figured that the hippo was being territorial, but I don't really know the answer.
Or maybe it's a coprophagous hippo, who knows.
It probably isn't.
There's some evidence that Elephants may attack and destroy human villages in Africa in revenge for poaching and other abuse:

Them being so big and so smart is a dangerous combination all around I guess.
