Grizzly Bear vs Peacock
Pretend a grizzly bear and a peacock meet in forest. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
Yes. They could meet in the real wild. This page is still a what-if.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.
Grizzly Bear
Ursus arctos horribilis · A mountain with claws and a short temper.
Opportunist: fish, berries, and whatever did not get away.
Nose of the year.
Wants space.
Family: Polar bears.
Peacock
Pavo cristatus · A walking fireworks show with spurs.
Bug and seed pecker.
They see in color that would melt a crayon box.
Show-off until startled, then a surprisingly mean kick.
Family: Pheasants and junglefowl — the flashy chicken extended family.
SIZE & WEIGHT
Stand them next to a grown-up. Who is bigger and heavier?
1.70 m
Grown-up
1.50 m
Grizzly Bear
1.10 m
Peacock
Height to scale. A grown-up is 1.7 m.
Can stand taller than a classroom door on its hind legs.
Light as a cat, longer than a broom when the train is fully extra.
Grizzly Bear
1.50 m · 270 kg
Grizzly Bear is big. 270 kg.
Peacock
1.10 m · 5 kg
Peacock is small. 5 kg.
Kilograms are honest. A small animal can still have a strong tool.
Who would you pick for size?
TOOLS
Teeth, claws, horns, venom, kick — what tools do they have?
Grizzly Bear · labeled field diagram
Peacock · labeled field diagram
Grizzly Bear
Five-knife paws
Tool: five-knife paws. Bite: 1,200 psi.
Peacock
Leg spurs
Tool: leg spurs. Bite: 20 psi.
A bite number is only one tool. Coils and kicks count too.
Whose tools would you trust?
SPEED
Who gets there first?
Grizzly Bear
56 km/h
Grizzly Bear can go 56 km/h. That is fast.
Peacock
16 km/h
Peacock can go 16 km/h. That is not very fast.
A fast animal can miss. A slow one only has to connect.
Who takes the speed card?
HOME
They meet in forest. Who is built for this place?
Meeting biome: forest. Colored land is where each animal actually lives.
Grizzly Bear

Grizzly Bear lives in places like forest.
Peacock
This is home · Lives in Asia
Peacock lives in places like forest.
Yes. They could meet in the real wild. This page is still a what-if.
Who gets the home point?
FOOD
How do they get lunch?
Grizzly Bear
Plants and meat · Opportunist: fish, berries, and whatever did not get away.
Berries, roots, moths, moose, and a whole river of fish.
Peacock
Plants and meat · Bug and seed pecker.
Seeds, insects, small reptiles.
A plant eater is not 'safe.' Hippos and elephants still end arguments.
Whose hunting or defending helps more?
MOOD
Alone vs team. This rumble is one vs one.
Grizzly Bear
Lives alone
Wants space. Grit: 9/10.
Peacock
Lives in a flock

Pack and pride animals lose their backup in a 1-v-1.
Who is better for a solo meeting?
BRAINS
Who notices first and thinks next?
Grizzly Bear
7/10
Nose of the year.
Peacock
4/10

SPECIAL
What special move did they evolve?
Grizzly Bear
Salmon-Swipe Charge
They can outrun a horse for a short, extremely convincing burst.
Peacock
Train Fan Blast
The train rattles, the eyespots shimmer, and everybody forgets what they were doing.

A STOMP
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, Grizzly Bear wins. Grizzly Bear is a lot heavier. Peacock would still win some meetings at home.
In the wild, most animals skip a fight. We still judge who the bodies and the place would favor.
Science card: Grizzly Bear 7 · Peacock 0 · ties 1.
Your card: Grizzly Bear 0 · Peacock 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
