Captain FuKu Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I've already mentioned the Grizzly vs. Tiger on the 1st page. Already happened a year or two ago -- supposedly. The Japanese set up the whole thing, and in the end, I heard the Grizzly won. If only I could find an article...
ForceX Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Wait a sec....Do the animals actually fight or do some old gits sit around saying this animal has this thats why it would win...blah blah blah???
Gryph Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Wait a sec....Do the animals actually fight or do some old gits sit around saying this animal has this thats why it would win...blah blah blah???I don't know. Maybe its like that betting show Banzai! Tiger vs. Lion vs. Rabbi PLACE YOUR BETS NOW! BETTING ENDS! God that was a dumb show.
Diso Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Uhhh. Link? Having no knowledge of this at all, I would say it would be like battlebots. Hits = Points?
ForceX Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Uhhh. Link? Having no knowledge of this at all, I would say it would be like battlebots. Hits = Points? Well if hits = points, that would mean that the animals actually fight each other...and I'm sure no one who loves animals would allow them to do that.....
Gryph Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I'm pretty sure they would fight to the death. That would be more satisfying. But I'm sure in the old Roman days they used to have these kinds of spectacles. "Come watch ye old Nero's Tiger vs. Lion vs. Christians Extravaganza!"
veristic Posted March 30, 2004 Author Posted March 30, 2004 They make mechanical duplicates of each animal n test the attributes of both, studying each animals strengths n weaknesses. Then at the end they have a simulated match with cg based on what they studied.
ForceX Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 But how can they be 100% sure that a certain animal will win because each species has its strong and its weak links....IT just depends on, which one your find..... That documentry sounds like BS...
Gryph Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I would rather see them catch an endangered Siberian tiger and pit it against a lion. It would be way more entertaining them some stupid CG models.
veristic Posted March 31, 2004 Author Posted March 31, 2004 But how can they be 100% sure that a certain animal will win because each species has its strong and its weak links....IT just depends on, which one your find..... That documentry sounds like BS...Ya, in some ways it is BS, but some of the matches r realistic because they happen. Like the Elephant vs. Rhino, that happens in the wild often n typically the Rhino doesn't stand a real chance against an Elephant, but they did the match anyway because it's one that's talked about a lot of the time. The same thing with a Lion vs. Tiger, except it doesn't happen often in nature. So the 'winner' of this one is purely guessing. Just like the Salt Water Croc vs. Great White Shark. Like Gryphon said tho, pitting a Lion against a Siberian Tiger the winner would be obvious, because the Siberian Tiger is way too strong for a Lion.
ForceX Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 But remember each animal has its own strengths and weaknesses...so if the Lion was up against a weak Siberian Tiger..the Lion would most likely win...
veristic Posted March 31, 2004 Author Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) But remember each animal has its own strengths and weaknesses...so if the Lion was up against a weak Siberian Tiger..the Lion would most likely win...Well ya, but that also applies to say a weak Lion would lose to a Bengal Tiger, or a weak bear would lose to a Lion. Each animal does have it's own strengths n weaknesses, but that doesn't mean each animal is equal because of their respective amounts of strengths/weaknesses. That is to say, it doesn't mean all animals r balanced one way or another for that reason. Any normal Lion would probably lose to any normal Siberian Tiger because it isn't a fair comparison, just like the Elephant n Rhino.they should have Grizzly Bear vs. Polar BearThe same applies to this one, because a Polar Bear is much larger than a Grizzly Bear, the outcome is somewhat obvious I think. Although Grizzlies r known for being really aggressive, still... u get my point. Edited March 31, 2004 by nyuuka
