^That is based upon the erroneous calculations. Once I find blaze's main link (or if someone posts it), you'll find out i respectfully disagree with your opinion on the matter , but i think natonial geogrpahic is a credible source to use |

I never said Nat Geo was unreliable, in fact they can be quite reliable sometimes.
It's just that they (like many others) have fallen for the erroneous conclusions

this is not a mismatch , but the utahraptor takes this mid diff , due to weight advantage and it should be larger , but do not count the bear out , those sharp claws can do very good damage to the utahraptor if he gets him on his soft underbelly

And? The Utahraptor's claws make the bear's look vastly inferior. Plus it can fit the bear's skull in its mouth.

Male polar bears seem to be 900 pounds on average. Now at weight parity, the polar bear has weaker jaws but it still has the best slicing bite of all bears (with the ability to bite through the beluga and walruses skin) and has more powerful forearms to grapple better. Yet the Utah raptor has a wider bite as well as greater agility and sickle like claws. |

 A narwhale just like a beluga and walrus has thick skin and blubber to protect their vital organs yet polar bears do manage to kill them with persistance. How do Utah raptor’s skin compare with walrus hide? I know that the Utah raptor has tough skin but it does not have blubber. I am not saying the Utah raptor will be an easy opponent. |

900 pounds is more on the lower end of the average.
No, a Utahraptor does not have the durability of a walrus, but in exchange, it has something the odobenid sorely lacks (at least on land): Mobility.

Not just that, but better stamina, giant hand claws, foot claws, a ~71 cm skull full of serrated teeth, and the ability to use all its weapons at once - imagine how much damage would be caused from simultaneously landing several bites, slashing with the hand claws, and stabbing with the foot claws simultaneously.

I'd hand this fight to Utahraptor, it was able to use its arm claws better than the polar bear while having jaws more adept at slicing.

Even though polar bears overheat outside their natural environment, they are still able to fight each other for quite a while. That said, if we want to talk about polar bear’s overheating, they do not grow as large as they are outside their natural environment despite the fact there are big captive polar bears (still smaller than their wild counterparts) especially after the establishment of animal rights.
Woolly mammoths and rhinos too should overheat outside their natural environment.

AFAIK, yes, most animals in general that are adapted for cool weather would have overheating issues in a warmer place.

Why do you think it has greater stamina. Polar bears are known for their stamina, walking, running or swimming. They have great endurance, and I think that would be one advantage over the Utahraptor, which is not to say the dinosaur has poor endurance. |

Raptor can't fight in the freezing cold, bear can't fight in a warm climate. |
