The grizzly has lived among giant lions, tigers, scimitar cats, saber-toothed cats, giant wolves, giant hyenas, and various other huge bear species - and grizzlies are not tree-climbers. 

You are right. But the size of those prehistoric felines and canids must have been similar to the grizzly or brown bear. So, it is understandable it must have fought those species. But sloth bears are smaller than even tigresses. But when they are cornered, they have been known to fend of bigger tigresses and rarely even adult males. Both species of bears have brutal strength, but i feel sloth bear can take on grizzly at equal weights. No offense for you. As you said let us feel our ways. No harm intended. Reply
