"Perfect"

By AsteriksBg, May 24, 2007

Epizodu u kojoj se sukobljavaju americki aligator i mrki medved (black bear)nisam imao prilike da vidim. pokusai sam to da ucinim na ovom sajtu ali nemam dovoljan level za to. Zbog toga pisem ovaj komentar kako bih unapredio svoj level i mogao da odgledam tu animiranu borbu. Posle toga, bih mogao stvarno da ocenim kvalitet te epizode. ovako sam dao ocenu 7 na nevidjeno, iz razloga sto je tu ocenu, otprilike, ova epizoda imala i pre mog komentara :) Inace, licno moje misljenje je da bi u takvoj nekoj borbi pobedio medved tako sto bi zacepio celjusti aligatoru kome je to jedino oruzje i onda ga snagom slomio. Ali mozda i nisam u pravu. Kad (ako) pogledam klip, videcu da li sam bio u pravu.moreless

"Mediocre"

By Junketh71, Apr 28, 2007

As far as I am concerned, this is a re-working of the previous episode - the lion vs. the crocodile. The only significant difference between the two episodes is the animals' size and strength: the alligator is smaller than the Nile crocodile, while the black bear is more solidly built than the male lion (who is a lazy beast to begin with). The alligator's initial attack on the bear was the same as the crocodile's counter-attack on the lion, but because the bear managed to keep its neck somehow out of the alligator's jaws was the key point. Inch for inch and pound for pound, a bear is stronger than a big cat, and so the bear was able to flip the alligator and tear its' belly, even as the lion had failed to do so with the bigger and stronger Nile crocodile.moreless

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA
- The alligator in the simulation weighed 1100 lbs. The heaviest alligator on record was a 1,043 lb specimen caught near Gainesville, FL.
  EDIT SHARE
- It was said that the alligators bite couldn't do much damage due to the bear's muscle. But an alligator shouldn't find a bear's muscle any problem because there has been proven evidence of alligators defeating large pythons.
  EDIT SHARE
- The black bear in the simulation weighed 600 pounds. A black bear of that weight is nearly impossible to find in Florida.
