Gorilla vs. Grizzly

- Start date
Im also pretty sure thats a black bear cub, but thats not the point, ya aint supposed to notice! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a picture of a baby gorilla hugging a bear cub?
Gorillas get eaten by sharks too. They bitches
Dude, why is the gorilla so happy as its dragged down to its doom
I enjoy these hypotheticals if only to learn shit I didn't know about said animals.
I got my money on bear.

Hippos are the tanks of nature's army. That'd be a tough one (lol).
Also, yeah, bear would destroy a gorilla. A gorilla is a stronger human. No paws and claws. It was over before it started.
If that gorilla's going to hell it's sure as shit taking something with him.
I would hate either of these lovely animals to get harmed.
That being said, throw a fucking tiger into the mix for a real party.

While they would no doubt avoid huge silverbacks, leopards kill and eat adult gorillas. And a big leopard weighs as much as a smallish female gorilla (150-200lbs).
Lions would have zero issues killing gorillas if they overlapped. Amur tigers are bigger than lions, DO overlap with brown bears, and only manage to kill bears about half of the time time that they have been witnessed interacting. The tiger dies about a quarter of the time. And those aren't typically big male bears either.
Since bears are more vicious, weigh twice as much, and have giant disembowling claws, I'm gonna have to go with them?
Considering what grizzly bears eat, i don't think that a gorilla is too big for a big male to take a go at if they crossed paths. Assuming that it was hungry.

The winner of this fight will go on to challenge the greatest beast on the planet, the common hippopotamus. They kill more humans every year than any other animal (I think). Ladies and gentlemen, the current champion:
Weighing in at 7,050 lb and measuring 16 ft 4 in
The Dreamstime Hippopotamus

Bear easily.
BETTER QUESTION:
What weapon or affordance would you need to give a healthy mid 20's human male to have a 50% chance against a gorilla? Or a 50% chance against a bear?

To go with my gorilla cracking the glass example, here is what the bear did to a similar exhibit window.

Yeah, thats right, the bear, realizing it could not slice its way through to ge to the tasty bite sized people nuggets on the other side of the glass, used a tool, a rock, to smash through the glass. Folks, Magilla may be in trouble.

Well, that's mosquitoes and it's not even close. But that'd be an uneventful fight.
Shouldn't there be documented proof from the romans? Weren't animal fights used as the pre-show for gladiator matches?

It's not all muscle. I think the weight difference does not correlate to a strength difference. Bears have a lot of fat, especially if we take the weight of "biggest bears ever", which are likely measured before they hibernate in winter (a lot of fat on them). Anyway, weight is weight, and the bear does have a huge advantage. But in muscle strength, I think a gorilla is not losing to a bear.
have you ever seen a bear climb a tree. you will have a nightmare.
I don't think a dance battle is what will decide this match Starlord.
adult hippos don't have natural predators. There are videos of hippos walking over a sandbar full of crocodiles, and none of them dare to even move. Hippos are the master of their domain

Black Mirror idea: Completely realistic DNA-based animal fights, but somehow the creator gets trapped in the simulation.
A grizzly is significantly stronger than a gorilla. More agile too.
Seriously, a grizzly would instantly kill a gorilla with one paw swipe. A hit in the face would cleanly remove half the face, as well as snap its neck and most of its back.
This is a really, really unfair fight.
I'm betting my money on Bruce Lee that he can take on a grizzly and win.

I'm 100% confident that a Honey Badger can absolutely destroy a Panda bear. The Honey Badger's bigger, nastier cousin the Wolverine, could probably do the same to a brown bear. Size isn't everything. Honey Badgers are known to tear off the ball of male lions.
