I think that if a shark and a polar bear got into a fight that was in a setting where they could both breath and maneuver correctly I think the shark would win because The shark can open its mouth much wider than a polar bear can , and also a shark has much sharper teeth than a polar bear. A polar bear can bite and also hit and scratch with its paws but it is not nearly as strong as sharks vicious jaws and tail that could possibly possibly break many bones if hit. The average speed of a shark's tail to hit is 30 mph but the highest but the highest is 80 mph. That is really hard and if a polar bear got hit by that it could get too damaged and have to give up.

The great white and the polar bear are both really fierce fighters, but I think the great white would win because great whites have huge teeth. Though the polar bear would probably put up a good fight because polar bears have really sharp claws.

If a shark and a polar bear had to fight fairly who would win? I think that the shark would win because they are faster and usually have bigger mouths. The polar bear has a smaller mouth and is not that fast. It would be hard to bite a shark if it were slippery and very fast. If it were a small shark then polar bears could eat them easily so it depends. What if it were a slow small shark, well then the polar bear could eat it. It depends on the size and the strength of the animal. And in a jelly like medium sharks can not swim very fast and a polar bear has no footing. A polar bear can swim 6.2 mph and sharks can swim in water at up to 35mph in water. I obviously feel that a shark would win against a polar bear.

If a polar bear and a shark got in a fair fight. I think the shark would win. I think that the shark would win because its jaw size is bigger and it can come under the ice and snatch the polar bear. Another reason is because polar bears when they get in the water they don’t swim as fast. Also when the shark smells blood it gets more agressive. As you can see a shark would win a fight against a polar bear.

I think a shark would win because sharks can beat whales,dolphins,and sometimes other sharks in a fight so why wouldn’t a shark win. Also it didn’t say what kind of shark it was so it could be The Meg or even the biggest great white.

I am going to go with a great white because first,The Meg doesn't exist anymore and second, that would be an unfair battle with a polar bear fighting something almost 2000 times its size unless it was like 2000 polar bears vs. The Meg then that would be fair.

The great white has the advantage since great whites can smell blood from almost a mile away so if the polar bear got hurt the great would know where it was at. The great white has to be pretty close since there in a battle so that’s how the great white would smell the blood.

Also great whites are really fast at swimming so if there at a neutral, jellylike medium land area a great white would be fast enough to swim up to polar bear before it got away and win the fight.

I hope now you why a great white would win against a polar bear.

If a shark and a polar bear were in a neutral fight, I think that anything could happen. If a shark went to go bite off, say its head, the polar bear would be dead because the sharks mouth is so big, the polar bears head would be down the sharks throat just like that. But then if the polar bear clawed the shark a few times, the cuts would be deadly. I have no idea what animal would win, that´s why I’m staying “neutral” in this situation, but what I’m really trying to state is that both animals are deadly and fierce, don’t get in a fight with either of them.

I believe that if a polar bear and a shark got into a fight where they both had an advantage ( the polar bear has land and the shark has water ) the shark would win.

I researched polar bears and great white sharks, and here are some facts:

Polar bears:
* Adult male polar bears can weigh 1,400 pounds and can be up to 10 feet long
* Adult female polar bears can weigh 1,000 pounds and can be up to 7-8 feet long
* Polar bears have 42 teeth
* The bite strength of a polar bear is 1,200 pounds per square inch
* A polar bear’s hide is 2.5- 5 cm thick
* A polar bear’s vision is very good

Great Whites:
* Adult male great whites can weigh 1,151- 1,700 pounds and can be 11- 13 feet long
* Adult female great whites can weigh 2,400 pounds and can be 16 feet long
* Great whites have 300 teeth, in many rows
* The bite strength of a great white is 4,000 pounds per square inch
* A great white’s skin is 10 cm thick
* A great white’s vision is great

Also, polar bears have been found in Greenland sharks’ stomachs!

If an adult female of both species fought, the great white could be twice the weight and twice as long as the polar bear. A great white shark has more than three times the bite strength of a polar bear and more than six times as many teeth! The teeth would have to get through twice as much hide on a shark.

Unless the polar bear had the power of invisibility, I think the shark would win.

I think the great white shark would win because it can jump out of the water really far and it can drag the polar bear in the water where it cant breath and then eat it. The polar bear can't really do anything maybe it would damage the shark but can't eat it. That's why i think the great white shark would win in a fight.

If a shark and a polar bear got in to a fair fight I think a polar bear would win because the polar bear can whack the shark with four claws and he also has a mouth. The shark only has his mouth to fight back. Another reason I think a polar bear would win is the shark's body is long and has a lot of space that if the bear would attach it could severely injure the shark in key areas. The bear’s body has four legs that he can block the shark from attacking and the bear can use his claws to attach back. This would prevent the shark from severely hurting his body’s core. Due to these facts I believe if this were to actually happen, I would bet on the bear.

If I had to choose between who would win a giant polar bear or a great white shark. I would choose great white shark because it has a giant jaw and more faster and has a better advantage to attack the polar bear. And the shark has a way of just in one bit it could eat the whole bear and the shark would have the advantage in the water but the bear has giant claws and swims well.

I think that a polar bear would win a fight against a shark. I think that is because a polar bear can grab the shark with his paws. It could also rip off parts of a shark. Polar bears also have very fast reflexes. If you get hit by one you will get knocked out. They don’t have a big mouth but they have big claws and paws. Polar bears have sharp teeth which they would cause so many wounds and highly injure a shark.

I would have an eagle as the size of a puppy. Here are two reasons why I would choose an eagle.
I would choose an eagle because I would teach it to fly into the kitchen and open and close the fridge and grab me a drink. Also to grad me food out of the fridge and panchery.
I would choose an eagle because I have loved birds for a long time. I have always enjoyed seeing eagle fly around. So I have always wanted one as a pet.

That Is Why I Would Choose An Eagle.
