I would think that the most agressive is the grizzly, by far. Its so agressive that it has made polar bears run out.In that video, it is mentioned that no one really know's for sure why Polar bears have an aversion to Grizzlies. Is it their aggression? Smell? A mature Male Polar bear would be quite capable of handling himself against a much smaller Grizzly, but they seem to shy away? Very puzzling indeed.... . The barren ground grizzly is more aggressive because there is no where for them to run or hide and they used to live among predators like smilodons etc. The polar bear is more aggressive when incomes to fighting for mating rights and have more caninalistic temdensies than a brown bear. How heavy are Tibetan blue bears?

Tibetan brown bear ( blue bear ) is roughly the size of the Canadian barren ground grizzly and has the same attitude. The Himalayan brown bear ( red bear ) is even smaller and ( for a grizzly ) has a sweet attitude.

Thanks for your help. I got confused between the tibetan blue bear and red bear for a while. Let me guess Baloo in the Jungle book 2016 film was created from a red bear, am I right?

Yes, the red bear is mostly vegetarian and is smaller and less aggressive than the Himalayan black bear. Roughly the size of a sloth bear.

Great brobear. That is a nice chart. You dont want to cross paths with a sloth bear. This is probably the most agressive bear there is.

Two posts above moved from "Sloth Bear Basics" so as to discuss further. A number of articles written about the sloth bear suggests that they are not nearly as aggressive as their given reputation. But, should you blunder into one, you might find this difficult to believe. There are three factors that makes a sloth bear dangerous. 1 - A sloth bears is a noisy feeder and he concentrate on the termites or ants he is consuming. Because of this, he is easily taken by surprise. 2 - The sloth bear has horrible peripheral vision. This is another factor that causes him to be taken by surprise. 3 - A bear has a certain safe-space on the outer fringes surrounding him. If you should enter within his personal space, you are placing yourself in harms way. *Edit and add: I would consider the Tibetan blue bear ( or possibly the Gobi bear ) as Asia's most aggressive bear.

Brobear: what has the Gobi bear done to be the most aggressive? We dont even have any accounts of this bear or basically nothing.

Very rare for anyone to cross his path. I read the book ( another good read ) Tracking Gobi Grizzlies. Believe me, that bear will charge and I would not want to call his bluff.

You have a great point there. You could be right. That looks like an interesting book by the way.

Just as polar bears live in one of the coldest part of earth, the gobi brown bear lives in one of the hottest part of earth.

Just as polar bears live in one of the coldest part of earth, the gobi brown bear lives in one of the hottest part of earth. The Gobi is not like the sandy Sahara of Africa. Beneath your feet is a stone floor. The temperatures can range from -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 120+ degrees Fahrenheit. sciencing.com/temperature-patterns-gobi-desert-19479.html

Both the North artic circle and the Gobi desert have long cold winters and short moderate summers. The difference is that in the Gobi desert the max is alot more hotter, while in the Artic it gets much colder.

120+ F is not a moderate Summer. Can you imagine how hot the stone floor can be? Also, -40 F is arctic cold. The Gobi, like most cold deserts, is characterized by long, cold winters and short, moderate summers. Much of the Gobi climate is driven by the nearly continual high winds, and most precipitation occurs during the winter as wind-blown snow off of the Himalayas. Wind speeds of up to 140 kilometers per hour, or up to 90 miles per hour, are strongest in the spring and fall. Temperature patterns are extreme with large fluctuations possible in a single day. The mean annual temperature is just under 3 degrees Celsius (37 degrees Fahrenheit).

Actually, the site given ( the part I just posted says - quote: "moderate summers" which makes me wonder where the author of this report lives. You can believe that here in South Georgia, it gets hot. But 120 degrees is uncommon for here.

Deserts are extremely hot during the day and cold at night (because heat easily escapes through the atmosphere).

Most aggressive of the grizzlies, and probably all bears, are the barren ground grizzly of the Canadian tundra, The Gobi bear, and the Tibetan blue bear, all of which live in extreme isolation. I believe, from what little I have read on the subject of polar bears, that polar bears were once far more aggressive bears and were in fact notorious man-eaters. Your thoughts?

My vote for the most aggressive bear in general goes for the Sloth bear. Sloth bears are on videos and accounts being very aggressive with Bengal tigers, which are very aggressive themselves when going after prey. Sloth bears have fended tigers off many times. Same thing with leopards, they avoid full grown sloth bears because of the aggressiveness. Also, sloth bears have been seen with aggressive behavior toward pachiderms. Thats something there. I have the Barren ground grizzly at second. With the Gobi bear we are just speculating as their habitat is very isolated.

Good points. The reason I choose the three that I do; a sloth bear will attack ( human ) if we happen to invade his personal space. But, of the three grizzly subspecies mentioned, one of those guys might charge you from hundreds of feet distant. There have been reports of such. We can't say how one of them would react to a tiger.
