Grizzly Bear wins this matchup, with a 95% chance of victory against 5% for Sacred Scarab in our 3-round simulation. Its biggest advantage is strike power, 99 to 10 out of 100.

The simulation puts both animals on neutral ground. In the wild, terrain, the size of the individual animals and plain luck would all change the result.

## Verdict: Grizzly Bear
- **Win probability**: Grizzly Bear 95%, Sacred Scarab 5%
- **Decisive weapon**: Yellowstone grizzlies' claws, up to 5.9 inches long, are shaped for digging food out of the ground, and they can run 35 to 40 miles an hour.
