'''Manny! Help!'''

Well, since most people don't see any problems, I guess I'll vote.

To be honest, I think that the biggest thing that will make/break the battle is why the two fight.

The bear has some good tactics - steal prey from other predators - after all, why exhaust yourself when someone else can do all the work, and they can get tired/wounded, while you walk up, and snatch the food away. That being said, the other predators can be very tenacious, and reluctant to give up their food, meaning that the Bear can be out-bullied.

The Mammoth is something of a pacifist - they'll only fight if they or their family is threatened. I mean, when someone tries to take their baby, mothers fight with a fury that can overcome even battle-hardened/tested troops.

In short, here's my prediction. The bear is going to try and steal a calf. However, mother is going to notice this, and someone will skewer the bear with their tusks, and stomp his head in.

Winner: Mammoth.
