Californians also did this in the 1800's - same outcome. They started out with Spanish bulls which all died from their heads and shoulders being shattered by a swipe from a bear, they moved onto Lions in the hopes they would be better to bet on but it was essentially the same outcome. It has to do with bone density and hunting techniques - lions hunt almost exclusively for their food and scavenge rarely whereas bears hunt very rarely (caribou etc), so one has developed a method it predominantly uses to kill prey (lions; throat crushing) and the other has developed as an omnivorous scavenger that uses size and strength to push other predators out (Bears; big, fat and strong as hell).
