Could a grizzly bear smash through a brick wall?

Fabulous.

The scariest are bipolar bears, when they’re off their meds.

The last time a thread danced around that tree, most agreed that large, hairy, gay men call themselves bears. That explains Great Dave’s reply, “Fabulous.”

Then there’s Stephen “Col-bear”, who’s in a category by himself. :wink:

I figure one thing that might deter a grizzly would be the “unnaturalness” of the brick/masonry. The bear might be reluctant to attack a structure just because it looked substantially different from anything it was accustomed to encountering in the wild.

The brick wall probably looks enough like rock that it wouldn’t be an issue. I watched a bear that weighs roughly what I do toss rocks and logs aside effortlessly that I could barely move. Crashing into a brick wall? I doubt it. Dismembering it? Definitely.

Also – don’t bears sometimes tear cars apart to get to food?

Yep. And garbage cans. And ice chests. And…

A polar bear is, of course, a rectangular bear after undergoing a coordinate transform.
