It's not two layers, which would imply one on top of teh other; it's just two different types of hair growing outta teh same skin. teh 'guard hairs' are longer so they stick up past teh woolly fur-stuff. Anyway, 'guard hairs' or not, it ain't no shield. Like teh tiger's claws are gonna bounce off 'em, or something-- "Attack Deflected!!" ...no. Babe, if they weren't two different layers then why did teh site with teh scientific facts call them "layers" one being an "underhair layer" and teh other "laying on top of it"? Please, tell me how your two inch claws are gonna hit something vital through 4.5 inches of fat. Bleed, yes. Die, no. That's all I'm sayin'. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. That's exactly why when I pin you you'll promise me anything I want...

'cause they're wrong. do you really think hair can grow outta hair?? I musta hit you harder than I thought... welllll, your stupid blubber makes you all slow & you'll overheat if you try to run. and teh claws can be up to FOUR inches, biatch. mmhmm. I take it you'd like some more marks? keep talkin' sh*t. that's right, 'pin' me, and I'll promise you whatever I-- *ahem* I mean you want, babe. >=)

Ladies, ladies, ladies
Please.
Shut teh Fuck up.
Basic fact: A polar bear weighs 1,750 pounds. A tiger weighs 660. Advantage Polar Bear.
They DO have 2 layers of fur. They have short hair and long hair. Both layers grow from teh skin, but in such a way that teh long hair over laps teh short hair. Thus creating two layers.
But yeah, Polar Bear owns tiger. Sorry babe, I like tigers too, but Polar Bear would whoop ass on it. And don't cop out and say male tiger vs. female bear. That's just silliness.

Okay, now I hafta lay teh Smackdown of Finn on your ass. That isn't two 'layers' of fur. That's long hair, and short hair, growing outta teh same patch of skin. No two different levels, just two different folicle lengths. Now. Male siberian tiger Vs FEMALE!!!!! polar bear teh contest would be close and it'd be a good fight. Moreover, teh definitive proof. Tigers are cool. Tigers are very very cool. Tigers are badass. and most importantly There may very well be a deadly martial arts style known as tiger claw style but all you ursine freaks got is a tasty bearclaw.

OK
One of us is a zoologist. And one of us is a punk ass. I won't say who is who *cough*finn*cough* But yeah, it's two layers. I may not have explained it right, but there's two layers. teh two different follicle lengths grow in such a way as to create two layers. Look it up why don't ya?
And believe it or not in teh REAL world, being "cool", doesn't make it better. *cough*ChicagoPizzaIsBetter*cough*
Oh by teh way, teh reason they have tiger style is tigers were very prevalent in Asia, but Asian bears tend to be on teh small side (as far as bears go). Had they had teh large North American bears I can guarantee that they would have had a raging bear fighting style to go with teh crouching tiger.
Polar bear owns you, and your wussie little tiger.

I may not have explained it right, but there's two layers. teh two different follicle lengths grow in such a way as to create two layers. Look it up why don't ya? Two different follice lengths. Growing from teh same skin equals two differnt hair lenghts on teh same coat equals a blended coat equals a holistic whole that is teh sum of its parts and not layers or any other mind constructed boundary And believe it or not in teh REAL world, being "cool", doesn't make it better. *cough*ChicagoPizzaIsBetter*cough* Tigers are cooler Tigers are better You are wrong (New York and all of its creations are also cooler than chicago) Oh by teh way, teh reason they have tiger style is tigers were very prevalent in Asia, Wrong. teh reason is tigers are cool and bears are lame animals that dance at teh circus. Tigers are cool. Tiger wins. ...but Asian bears tend to be on teh small side (as far as bears go). awwwww. poor bears, so uninspiring when in their diminutive state... unlike a tiger which even if it was sixty pounds would still look and be badass. point game set Tiger Had they had teh large North American bears I can guarantee that they would have had a raging bear fighting style to go with teh crouching tiger. raging bear sounds like teh fighting style of a vomiting drunken 300 pound biker at a truck stop at 3 a.m. whereas crouching tiger denotes fluid and majestic strength. Polar bear owns you, and your wussie little tiger. quote] [sarcasm... but which parts?] Wussie tiger is an oxymoron tisk tisk what's with teh hating? Final test of Tiger Superiority: quickly... answer!!!! COULD YOU IMAGINE A CLAN OF NINJA TIGERS? ?? answer yes or no!!!! quickly... answer!!! HAVE YOU EVER READ teh BERENSTEIN BEARS BOOKS??? answer yes or no!!! quickly ... answer!!!

ULTIMATE MEGA TEST OF TIGER-FU
Did William Blake ever write a poem about a bear? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Did Will iam Blake write a poem about a tiger? Did it kick ass? ------------------------------------- William Blake teh Tyger TIGER, tiger, burning bright In teh forests of teh night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt teh fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What teh hand dare seize teh fire? And what shoulder and what art Could twist teh sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand and what dread feet? What teh hammer? what teh chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What teh anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When teh stars threw down their spears, And water'd heaven with their tears, Did He smile His work to see? Did He who made teh lamb make thee? Tiger, tiger, burning bright In teh forests of teh night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? --------------------- A: Yes. yes it did. -------------------------

Basic fact: A polar bear weighs 1,750 pounds. A tiger weighs 660. Advantage Polar Bear. Basic fact: MALE polar bears can weigh UP TO about 1750 lbs, and they're generally between 775 and 1500. Yeah, male Siberian tigers are smaller; they're typically about half teh size. Which is why it would be dumb to pit male vs. male. Do you put a gorilla in teh ring with a beagle? Fuckin' A, it was conceded like 10 posts ago that it wouldn't even be a fight. Have some mercy on teh damn strawman awready. Layer, schmayer; if you're so intent on your semantics I'll fuckin give 'em to ya. So you've got layers. What now? My claws just gonna slide right off 'em? Or maybe they'll get caught up in teh first layer and never even make it to teh second, right? 'Cause lemmetellya, sounds just like a tiger to lose a fight on account of inability to penetrate hair. Yeah, think you might be confusing tigers with TEH SUCK. btw, ever heard teh phrase 'teddy tiger'? ... Tiger wins by default. Get your t-shirts now. [bitches]

Man, you guys are just on and on about teh fuckin' hair. One layer, two layers. Who gives a s.hit....it's moot.
Suffice it to say, it is a thick coat. Will it stop a tiger bite? Hell no. (Though it will make tiger claws not so grippy.)
But that doesn't really matter. Because if Amp's numbers regarding teh thickness of blubber beneath teh bear's skin are correct, that tiger is still in for some trouble.
Tiger's 4-5 inch canines through bear's 4-5 inch blubber don't equal broken neck or maybe not even severed jugular. Bleeding fat hurts, it can be fatal, eventually, but it still leaves time for bear to use teeth and claws on tiger.
Bear gets one good bite and tiger's toast I would bet.

And, again. (y'all with your strawmen, yeesh) teh deal is One male siberian tiger one female polar bear make 'em fight to teh death and whoever won, it'd be entertaining.

Tigers are more agile and yes, they could and have snapped bears necks. Bears are bigger and stronger and have taken chunks outta tigers, so basically it comes down to speed vs strength, but you hafta give teh tiger teh tactical advantage. No matter which one wins, teh loser will look great on my hardwood floors

Strwman? yeah, right. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
If anything, I burnt that straw man to teh ground.
hair shmare. that's what I said.
I'm getting curiouser and curiouser as to who DSC thinks will win teh Polar bear/walrus battle. Those walri are pretty fierce when you fuck with them (not that I ever poked one with a stick) but how one will maneuver against a bear is....a mystery to me.

Hehe, well, I used strawman initially to refer to Amp & Doose of the Pink Panties clinging to teh male vs. male battle, which I don't think anybody'd be stupid enough to argue for; thus, a strawman. I think Finn's was that arguing any of this is beside teh point, which was originally that it'd be a good fight. but dammit, it's fun as for walrus vs. polar bear, polar bears eat walruses.

Next on Discovery Channel: Dingo vs. Baby HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
True Polar bears DO eat walruses, but they don't eat ALL walruses (or else there wouldn't BE any walruses would there?) Therefore, there hafta be SOME instances of teh walrus winning that fight. It should be interesting.
