Both are big and fast, but the bear is bigger.
Also, I doubt the Gorilla would eat the bear if he won. |

You ever see what bears do to houses? To vehicles? You watch how bears use their claws to rip apart the object of their curiosity or wrath or merely what they want? I knew a guy who bought land in rural Alaska. He shipped an air stream trailer to his land so he could stay there while he build a cabin. Bear smelled the food and, using his claws, pried the seams open and ripped the trailer open. You read that correctly. He ripped the airstream trailer open enough that he could get in and then eat whatever he wanted. Watch bears drag moose and bison carcasses weighing half a ton. Watch videos with bears killing moose. You know how strong moose have to be for them to hold up their 50+” horns? And bears kill them with ease. This would not be a close fight if both animals were full grown. A brownie has substantially more strength as well as long claws and teeth. Brown bears are the largest land-based predator in the world and their weight isn’t just fat. |

This is why we really need to define our terms. Sure, a leopard might prey upon a small female or young male. But it's assumed we're talking about 400+ lb silverbacks in this hypothetical fight.

Shit, even assuming they’re the same weight, I’m taking the bear. Gorillas are peaceful creatures. Quote:
To give gorillas more credit, I will concede the fact that this evidence isn’t conclusive regardless given the fact that leopards are ambush predators. They’re more likely to attack an adult male gorilla while he sleeps in the dark, which isn’t a fair fight. Still, here’s a report of a 312 pound gorilla being killed by a 185 pound Asiatic leopard in a zoo enclosure. By the sounds of it, it wasn’t even a fair fight at any point and the gorilla spent most of the time trying to run away. https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bi...t-txIN-------- Quote:

The Gorilla would probably flee up a tree at the sight of an 8' tall Grizz. Then he would sling poop at the Grizz and spout off like the French in Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

A Kodiak bear can weigh roughly 1500 pounds while a gorilla can weigh up to 600. The gorilla has no chance.

Destroys, I doubt this. The Gorilla may have a slight advantage in strength (maybe). The Griz is very strong too and has a decided advantage of long razor-sharp claws and teeth made to rip and tear. Then there is the once irritated he won't stop until he kills you or you kill it.

Grizzly bears have claws up to 4 inches long. How's a gorilla gonna stop that?

Is there any particular reason why the debate has to do with a gorilla? I can think of other animals I’d consider going with to take down a grizzly.

I guess I was thinking carnivores only. I bet a hippo, a rhino or a bull elephant could **** a grizzly up so I probably answered my own question there. |
