I can see both sides. A Grizzly would be right at home in 4 feet of water but so would a shark. They can attach in as little as 2 feet of water. Just ask those surfers that tangled with a shark. You have seen the satellite photos of Florida beaches and they are almost ON the beach. So you have to call the 4 feet of water a draw. Now, the bear does have massice paws and claws but unless he knew to go for the eyes of the shark then that might not be that big of an advantage. The shark would only have a shot at the bottom half of the bear and would love to sink his teeth into an artery in the leg. Shearks are extremely fast and agile when attacking and the bear would be too slow in this instance. The shark has very tough skin and could retreat faster than the bear if it felt the need to. So on "attack vs defense" advantage I would have to say Sharky. Once the shark punctures the artery in the bears leg it would be a swift kill at that point. I think the shark wins in round one. Sorry Daniel, I was rooting for ya! Boy, this is a tough one. I can see both sides. A Grizzly would be right at home in 4 feet of water but so would a shark.
