How could anyone have an opinion on this without knowing if the fight takes place on land or in the water?

What if the bear had claws that were knives tipped with tiny guns that shot out even tinier knives?

What if the shark were actually being wielded as a club by a megabear?

I’m just saying this stuff can get pretty complex pretty quick.

I went with the premise stated in the article which is the only reasonable one to assume - bear wading into shallow water.

What if the shark had all the meta data on the bear’s contacts but the bear had all the shark’s emails

Bears vs Sharks. Do they battle with a football or a puck?

“This is why you play for homefield advantage. Clearly, the home team would win this fight.....no way around it.”

Does it answer the question, “ does a shark crap in the woods?”

I can beat a shark on land. I would just walk away. Go grab a margarita and some nachos, watch the hawks and bruins then come back.
