The deciding call

Matchup context, every pressure point and the strongest counter-case.

Matchup context

Similar to grizzly vs. wolf โ€” the size gap makes this a non-contest. The polar bear outweighs the wolf by roughly 15:1. In the Arctic, wolves and polar bears occasionally encounter each other, and the wolf always defers.

01
Battle factor 01

A wolf pack might harass a polar bear, but a single wolf would be killed in one paw swipe.

Strongest case for each side
Polar Bear
The case for

Polar Bear

15:1 weight advantage. One paw swipe is lethal. The wolf can't penetrate the bear's thick fur and fat.

Gray Wolf
The case for

Gray Wolf

The wolf is faster. That's the entire argument, and it's not enough.
