Is there anywhere on the planet where a lion and a bear live in the same area?

The only place outside sub-Saharan Africa that lions still survive is in the Gir National Park in India.  \n\nThe Gir National Park doesn't list any bears on its list of fauna that call the region home, but the park lies within the range of Sloth Bears (Ursus ursinus) so it is at least theoretically possible that these two could come into conflict.\n\nIn terms of human-bear conflict, sloth bears are by far the most dangerous bears in the world.  More people are killed or mauled by sloth bears than by leopards or tigers in India, and they injure far more people than black bears or grizzlies.  A lot of this has to do with the number of people who share their range, but they are by all accounts a rather ill-tempered beastie, and they have long claws.\n\nIt wasn't so long ago that lions had a much more extensive range.  In Roman times, they covered most of Eastern Europe, as well as pretty much all of southern Asia including the Middle East.  Habitat loss and hunting have reduced them to the African savannahs we now consider their quintessential home.\n\nBack then, they would have had fairly extensive interactions with brown bears.\n\nGoing back even farther in time, the American Lion or Cave Lion (Panthera leo atrox) ranged across North America as well.  A sub-species of lion, it would have been virtually identical to the modern lion, but about 10% bigger.  They are amply represented in the La Brea Tar Pits and other Pleistocene sites.  They would have been quite familiar with American black bear, grizzlies, possibly polar bears, and even the short-faced bear (Arcotdus simus) a long legged hunting bear.\n\nSo today it's unlikely, but it definitely happened quite a lot in the past.

I know of no such place in Africa. Are you certain you are not thinking of the Cave Sleeping Sharks off Isla Mujeres in Mexico?

In the wild, lions live on the savanahs of Africa- a type of grassy plains. Sometimes they will climb trees to look for prey (food). Lions don't live in dens or caves, really. They just sleep out on the open plains.\n\nThe savanah is a good place for lions to live because the color of the dry grasses match the color of the lions' fur- good camoflage for when they are hunting for food, like antelope or wildebeast.\n\nThey are at the top of the food chain, so they don't really need a lot of protection. The only time they seek actual shelter is in bad weather- the pride will look for a place to get out of the rain- a rock overhang or something similar

A group of animals is living in an area - foodsource = nuts. The ones with good crushing teeth will eat lots, reproduce and pass on the crushing design gene. Any with ripping design etc would be unsuccessful in gaining food and thus wouldn't reproduce and pass on the ripping gene. Eventually all members of the species have crushing teeth. Survival of the fittest etc. A lion with blunt teeth would not live long enough to pass on the genes

The two Bears, Ursa Major and this constellation Ursa Minor and the whole Northern Hemisphere sky, are seen to revolve around a star that doesn't appear to move; Polaris, the North Star; located at the tip of the tail of the Little bear or Little Dipper and the orientation of the bear figures changes dramatically through the course of the night. From earliest times the two bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, have been paired together. With the exception of Polaris, the seven stars making up the Little Dipper, or Lesser Bear, are much fainter than the seven star making up Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, which is the most prominent group of stars in the sky. Although the Little Bear is famous as the home of the Pole Star, it was in fact invented in the 6th century B.C. as a guide to sailors and was created from the Dragon's wing, now long forgotten, which it replaced. The Little Bear is enclosed on three sides by the coils of the Dragon. To many cultures Ursa Minor was the Hole in which the earth's axle found its bearing,\n\nThe stars of Ursa Minor appear on the planisphere of Denderah as an enormous hippopotamus (the bear being unknown in Egypt), or sometimes as a crocodile, who devoured the dead who had lived a life of dreadful sin. Some of these stars have also been identified as the goddess Hesmut, a mother goddess and midwife of ancient Egypt, or Shesemtet, the Raging Mother.

I disagree with everyone here.\n\nI think the lion would win. Which was also shown on a discovery channel show, I forget the name of the show...but they did mock fights with different animals. I don't know if itss till on the air.\n\nAnyway, a lion in the wild faces fights with other male lions over territory and family. But in the wild, a tiger rarely sees another tiger...they simply do not have the same skills a male african lion would have. A lion would win.

The lion would win. The lion and the tiger are almost evenly matched in cunning, hunting skills and speed, however, the lion has the advantage of more muscle strength and thereby more stamina. As the fight will get stretched, the scales will tip in favor of the lion. This is the basic rule of one-to-one combat - that the longer the battle extends, the factor of physical strength becomes more and more decisive. So clearly, here, lion has the advantage. \n\nIn one of the programs on Discovery, a similar research was carried out in which the strengths and weakness of both these predators were matched. They made out models of them and calculated the force applied and all other factors in various consitions. The lion came on tops.

The bear is white because the house is at the north pole and polar bears live at the north pole and they are the only bears that live there, therefore the the bear is white.

I saw this on Animal Planet, and I can't remember it's name!  Isn't it a water bear or something?  Really kind of neat.

Hi, this question has been addressed before. I'll leave you the link to the original answer. \nBut, to sum up, No, there is no such animal.\n\nYou're referring to the Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis). This bovid (related to antelopes, cows and goats) inhabits forest areas in Vietnam, not in South America.\nIt has extremely well developed maxillary-preorbital glands (in front of the eye), and the external part of the gland is covered by a muscular flap which can be raised like an awning to expose the gland. \nThis flap of skin has been misinterpreted in the common media, so that the saola is sometimes referred to as an antelope with "gills".

I know polar bears only live in the north pole. There isn't any life in the south pole.

Many tigers live in India.Some still live in parts of China & Africa.  A Tigers strips go all the way to the skin.

This is a myth. Polar bears are observed using either paw, though I would suppose there are " lefties " and " righties ". They do not cover their noses when hunting, either.
