00:00 African king of beasts in battle against arctic king of beasts.
00:04 Who is stronger of the two?
00:06 How not to be mistaken?
00:07 And also in this issue you will find out what kind of animals you get if you cross a polar
00:12 bear with a brown bear.
00:14 Sit back, subscribe to the channel and express your opinion in the comments.
00:19 And we'll start.
00:20 It is not in vain that the lion is called the king of beasts.
00:39 He is handsome, fast and dangerous.
00:42 He is an effective predator, but he reigns only in Africa.
00:48 And in the cold arctic, a polar bear rightfully wears the monarch's crown.
00:54 It is clear that Leo and polar bear do not intersect in the wild.
00:59 Therefore we decided to simulate such a situation in order to find out which of these two kings
01:05 will be stronger.
01:06 Now let's try to find out what would happen if the African king of beasts met with the
01:11 arctic king of beasts.
01:14 And who could be the winner in a direct confrontation between these two animals?
01:18 First, let's find out what a lion is capable of.
01:23 The lion is the largest representative of feline predators.
01:28 An adult male can weigh up to 230 kilograms.
01:32 In addition, among fellows, lions are the tallest.
01:36 The growth of a male can reach up to 120 centimeters.
01:41 Despite the fact that felines are most often loners, the lion is a family animal.
01:47 Typically, a lion family or pride has one or more males and a group of females.
01:53 By the way, it is the lionesses who are responsible for hunting.
01:57 But there are also males who prefer a solitary lifestyle, or aging lions expelled from the
02:03 pride.
02:05 Lions' claws can be up to 7 centimeters long, real daggers.
02:10 And the canines are 8 centimeters long, so these predators are capable of killing pretty
02:16 large animals.
02:18 The length of the mane is up to 40 centimeters, and the total body length of a lion can be
02:24 up to 2.5 meters.
02:27 In hunting, the mane does not help a lion, but in fights, the mane can serve as a strong
02:32 shield and saves it from the bites of predators.
02:37 Of course, the main advantages of Leo are its weight and volume, which it invests in
02:43 its powerful punches with its paws.
02:46 He has well-developed muscles of the forelegs and neck, which helps him to dodge bites.
02:53 Also the lion is famous for its famous grip, thanks to which it is able to hold an antelope.
03:00 Leo bite force - 45.7 kilograms of force per square centimeter.
03:06 The lion has good combat experience.
03:09 He fights with other males for territory, enters into confrontation with large animals
03:14 such as buffaloes, hippos and even elephants.
03:19 But all these big opponents are not predators, and it is this fact that gives some strength
03:24 and excitement to the lion.
03:27 In the eyes of a lion, both an antelope and an elephant are just tons of food to catch
03:32 and to eat.
03:34 On this we will end about the lions.
03:37 Now let's move on to the polar bear and see how dangerous he is, consider his strengths
03:43 and weaknesses.
03:54 Let's start with general information.
03:57 The polar bear is a huge animal reaching 3 meters in length.
04:02 Its height reaches 140 centimeters, and he can be safely called a real heavyweight among
04:08 predators.
04:10 In some cases an adult male can weigh about a ton.
04:14 However the average body weight of an animal ranges from 450 to 550 kilograms.
04:21 But this is still a lot.
04:23 It is not surprising that possessing such parameters, the strength of the polar bear
04:27 is more than enough.
04:29 For example, researchers who have been observing the behavior of a polar bear in the wild for
04:34 a long time say that with one blow of its paw, it can easily stun to death a bearded
04:40 seal whose weight reaches 300-350 kilograms.
04:44 Scientists have estimated that the strength of a polar bear is so great that an adult
04:49 male is capable of throwing an animal weighing up to 200 kilograms by 5 to 7 meters with
04:57 one blow of its paw.
04:59 The physical endurance of this predator is also impressive.
05:03 For example, an adult male drags a walrus carcass uphill, the weight of which exceeds
05:09 half a ton.
05:10 But even such a strong animal has his weak points.
05:14 For example, a bear weighing about half a ton or more is not capable of chasing prey
05:19 on land for a long time.
05:22 He is not a fan of running at all, preferring to walk at a walking pace or move on the ice
05:28 lying on the belly.
05:30 But in the water, the bear feels much more comfortable and confident.
05:35 The maximum speed that a bear is able to develop while in the water is about 5 to 7 kilometers
05:41 per hour.
05:43 Polar bears swim very good and can travel great distances.
05:47 A case was recorded when a bear swam 600 kilometers in search of food.
05:53 A layer of subcutaneous fat is another excellent insulator.
05:58 Plus, this is a stock for a rainy day, any kind of bulletproof vest with a thickness
06:04 of 13 centimeters.
06:06 Well, we have reviewed the characteristics of these animals and now, based on them, let's
06:12 compare these data and determine the winner.
06:16 So who will win if the lion and the polar bear come together in a fight?
06:24 No matter how beautiful and graceful the lion is, the victory in the fight would definitely
06:29 be with the polar bear.
06:31 First, it is simply four times heavier and is capable of crushing a lion with its mass.
06:38 The impact force of the polar bear is almost as much greater.
06:42 A case was recorded when the white bear with one blow threw back its prey 7 meters away,
06:48 the weight of which was 200 kilograms.
06:51 And given the mass of a lion in the range of 190 to 200 kilograms, the polar bear with
06:57 just one blow of his powerful paw can simply send the lion flying at a distance of 7 to
07:04 8 meters.
07:05 Its additional advantage is subcutaneous fat, the thickness of which is greater than the
07:11 length of the canines and claws of the largest lion.
07:15 This means that the lion simply cannot damage any vital organ of the bear.
07:20 If we compare the bite force of a lion and a polar bear, then here the polar bear is
07:25 also the winner.
07:26 As you remember, the force of a lion's bite is 45.7 kilograms of force per square centimeter,
07:33 but the force of the polar bear's is 84.
07:37 Therefore, even a lion's mane cannot help a lion here.
07:42 As a result, as we can see, the polar bear, the closest relative of brown bears, turned
07:48 out to be much more effective, adaptable and dangerous.
07:54 The Arctic king of beasts proved to be stronger than the African king of beasts.
08:00 But despite the fact that the polar bear is stronger, the lion can still be called the
08:05 king of beasts.
08:06 He just has his own kingdom, and in his kingdom, he is the true king.
08:20 It has long been known that crossing animals can lead to the emergence of new varieties
08:25 of animals, however of the same species.
08:28 This happened during the crossing of a polar bear with a brown one.
08:32 Let's find out more about the predatory mammal which turned out as a result of this
08:37 wild experiment, arranged by mother nature.
08:41 It was decided to name the hybrid of the two bears "Pisley", although there is very
08:46 often another common name - "Growler".
08:50 The second option seems to sound more solid, so let's leave it.
08:55 The growler bear inherited the characteristics of both a white and a brown bear.
09:01 Its coat is a mixture of brown and white, and can also be light brown in color.
09:08 Compared to its ancestors, the growler is of medium size.
09:12 It can reach about 2 meters while standing on its hind legs.
09:16 The height of the withers is about 1.2 meters.
09:20 Growler is a rather agile animal despite its considerable size.
09:25 These bears are also very tough and strong.
09:28 Strength and agility, combined with other physical attributes, such as long claws and
09:33 powerful jaws, make the growler an excellent hunter.
09:37 This bear is quite hardy and capable of accelerating to 50 km/h.
09:44 Thanks to this, he can even chase deer.
09:50 The behavior of a growler depends on the environment, but this is a common feature of most animals.
09:56 In general, it is a very energetic animal, and from the polar bear, the growler inherited
10:02 excessive aggressiveness.
10:04 Their temperaments are quite hot-tempered, they are suspicious and very territorial animals.
10:11 At the same time, it was noticed that it is difficult for growlers to adapt to changes
10:16 around them, both environmental and social.
10:20 While growlers can eat anything and are excellent hunters, fish and meat are not a major part
10:26 of their daily diet.
10:29 Like brown bears, they generally prefer a vegetarian menu that includes berries, tubers,
10:35 plant roots and other goodies found in the forest.
10:39 It is interesting to note that in the case of crossbreeding between a polar bear and
10:44 a brown bear, humans did not intervene at all.
10:48 Nature herself ordered it.
10:51 Well, crossing occurs, albeit very rarely, in Canada and Alaska.
10:57 It is believed that the unification of the polar and brown bears was facilitated by climate
11:02 change, although it is not known for certain which of them became a mother and who became
11:08 a father.
11:09 The polar bear had to explore other territories in search of food and reached rivers where
11:15 brown bears hunted for fish.
11:18 This is how a unique bear of its kind, the growler, appeared on the planet.
11:23 Dear friends, this is where we end our video.
11:39 But we, as always, continue to work to delight you with new interesting material about animals.
11:46 So stay with us, and see you soon.
