Answer 1

bears eat beets, bears beat battlestar galactica

Answer 2

   In a fight to the death, almost any full grown bear would kill a wolverine. But you see those youtube scenes where wolverines chase bears away from a kill because, being a less effective hunter, wolverines have to scavenge to survive. Bears, being better at hunting, do not need to fight as desperately over every kill, and will sometimes back down from a confrontation with a wolverine because it isn't that important to them, not worth the effort or scars when they can kill something else.

Yes wolverines are ferocious, but they usually "triumph" over a bear because can, and prefer to save their energy until its really needed to survive, or protect their young.  

  

Answer 3

grizzly bear

Answer 4

It depends on how the fight went.

If the bear couldn't get a solid swipe at the speedy, vicious wolverine, the wolverine could well frusterate the bear enough to send it running away. The wolverine wouldn't have a chance of killing the bear, but its veracity could well intimidate the bear into fleeing.

If the bear managed to swipe the wolverine hard with a paw, the strike would likely break the wolverine's back as well as severely lacerate its body with the bears huge claws. Then one crunch from the bears mighty jaws, and the fight's over.

That would be a heck of a fight, either way.
