A silverback gorilla would definitely destroy a bear.
You serious?Quote:

A bear would rip a gorilla apart, it would be brutal and bloody.
Gorillas are just as strong as bears (if not stronger) and have superior intelligence. Unlike with humans, gorillas are still very strong and dangerous despite being vegetarians. They are capable of inflicting a lot of damage on something that angers it. I would rather encounter a bear than a gorilla.Quote:

What sort of bear? Polar bears can stand 12 feet high......pretty big if you ask me. They also weigh twice as much as a Siberian Tiger.
I know nothing of the brown bears though, are they just as big? If so I think the bear wins. Bears have teeth and claws meant for ripping prey to fwock. Gorillas are strong as hell but have no weapons to seriously hurt a bear do they?
Good thread lol. One for the pub maybe
I should also admit I was hoping to see a fight between the two when I clicked on this.
Sick bastard me
Full grown grizzlies are about 6feet tell and weigh upwards of 600 pounds i believe. Strong as hell + fist = weapon. A gorilla doesn't need to have fancy weapons like claws or teeth, it will just straight up punch you in the mouth or "gorilla bash" you and do and equally impressive amount of damage. I say we take it to the sign language spelling bee and see who wins then. ;DQuote:

Slinging feces is a pretty good weapon if you ask me. I wouldn't want to get within throwing range of a Gorilla.
BTW, bear takes this one no prob.
I just went to the Columbus Zoo last Friday & I can assure you with no doubt in my mind that the Gorilla wins this epic battle.
The Gorilla is smart enough to improvise a tool/weapon to pound/shoot the stupid Bear with. :beatdeadhorse:
The Bear didn't even know how to pose for a picture. :camera:
The Gorilla actually smiled. :shakin: (sorry, wrong angle)
Case dismissed. :smash:
Wolverines have been know to run bears off of kill sites. Wolverines are like a 100 pound badger....pretty fucking mean and freakish power for thier size.
I'm from Columbus.Quote:

We play you guys on our homecumming on the 20th of next month.
I think Mark Dantonio is your coach now & he was our defensive coordinator when we won the National Championship a few years back.
Good man.
(Maybe I'm all fckng wrong & drunk, but I hope not. :P )
I am drinking as well my man. I don't know anything about MSU actually. I just moved here and going to Cooley law. I don't know one person. I usually cheer for University of Missouri......thats where I am from.

Good luck in your lawschool.
You'll meet folks with your friendly & approachable personality.
Do well. ;)
Cool man. Hey thanks for the best wishes. I am going to the pub. talk to you soon.
Seriously this thread is laughable. Any of you guys who think a gorilla would beat a grizzly bear clearly know absolutely nothing whatsoever about nature ::**
A grizzly could probably take out a lion or a tiger let alone a freaking gorilla.
Polar bears are the largest carnivore on land and weigh twice the weight of an adult tiger. Brown bears are around 10 feet tall and weigh about 1500 lbs waaaaay over the 600 lbs that someone posted earlier.
Polar bears are the only creature on earth who actually hunt humans, they are absolutely lethal.
If you saw a full grown grizzly, kodiac or polar bear next to a silverback gorilla it would just be a laughable mismatch.
If you knew anything about nature you'd know this is as absurd a question as who wins between a prime Mike Tyson and a prime Tom Hanks, it's just absolutely idiotic to think that a gorilla would stand even the remotest of chances against a full sized bear.
Bla bla bla. ::**
You clearly think your Bilbo opinion is all that matters & others are laughable, because those with said opinions know nothing about nature.
Well good for you B-Bo.
Good for you & your judgments on absurdity.
I personally think it is idiotic to call someone idiotic for posting opinions on this thread, an obvious 'play' thread.
But I'd never say it.
And it wouldn't matter cuz any other opinion is dumb, right?
~By the way, after Tyson quit on his stool against McBride, I'm not sure Hanks wouldn't put up a fair fight.
Thats another of my opinions.
Bilbo arent you the one that found something in your ass after playing with it......who knows about nature here?
Hey I'm just to educate and spread light where there was darkness ;)Quote:

Well thinking a gorilla could take beat a full sized bear is along the same lines.
As for it being a play thread, then yes indeed it is, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve an honest answer.
I'm not picking on anyone, just setting the record straight. It's not my opinion at all, it's just a complete fact of nature.
It's like asking who would win between a lion and a cow.
If I sounded condescending it's just because I couldn't believe that people actually could see a gorilla winning this one ???

Grizzley, polar and kodiak bears are close in size... in fact the brown bear, aka grizzly/kodiak they are different types of brown bears, outweighs the polar bear....so the bear whup gorilla easily...unless said bear is the sun bear which is only the size of a large dog or the black bear which gets up to 600 lbs....Quote:

No way, not a Jumbo, as soon as it got close to the fire it would probably blow it out through.Quote:

The world record weight for an American black bear is 880 pounds. This was the recorded weight of a 10.75 year-old male bear shot in North Carolina in November 1998.
Though not the largest, grizzly bears are the most ferocious species of bear and can still grow past 1,000 lbs. This is roughly twice the size of a large gorilla!
Plus, Bears have super thick fur which acts as protection and a massive bone structure. The gorilla has no chance...it has no offense which can hurt the bear....you think it can knock the bear out by swinging its fists!?
The bear has claws and jaws made for slashing, tearing, and ripping. It would have the gorilla killed within 5 minutes.
Grizzly bears will more often then not also beat lions and tigers in a fight.
Gorillas are powerful, they would beat the f out of any human, but to question them against a grizzly bear the bear wins 99 out of a 100.
edit:
Also, they used to hold pit fights and have bear vs. bull, bear vs. lion/tiger etc. and the bears would almost always win by crushing the skull of a bull/lion/tiger. SO I think it would have no trouble smashing the skull of a gorilla.
"Grizzly bear pit fights:
The Californians of the late 19th century staged well-documented pit fights with grizzlies and spanish bulls. The grizzlies, using their paw as a club, shattered the unfortunate bull's skull or shoulder bones so easily that the betting became poor.
Eventually, and at considerable cost, African lions were brought in to raise the stakes. The most fierce of the adult males was sent in whilst the grizzly was already waiting in the pits. The lion was known for bravely charging straight in and looked good for the money, but the grizzly killed a male lion almost as easily as he'd killed the bull."
Cats have a frail bone structure.....which is why they aer so fast....but so easily crushed.
I read two stories back in the 60's when I was a teenager. One was about a gorilla who was taught to hit a golf ball and could drive it 400 yards. The other was about a grizzly bear that killed a buffalo by doing some sort of karate chop move and breaking the buffalo's back. Don't know if either were true, but I wouldn't mess with either one. Would have to go with the Vegas odds on this one.
I dont know guys, a silverback gorilla is pretty fuckin big. Height dont mean shit really, the gorilla would be lower to the ground. Plus the bear can not stay on its hind legs very long. All the gorilla would have to do is knock it off balance, which it could do easy and then the bear would be in a very bad position.
The largest silverbacks weigh less than 450 lbs, the heaviest bears weigh over 1200 lbs.Quote:

There is no way a gorilla could even last 5 minutes with a bear.
Answer
Dear Jason
Thanks for your question.
Please note that grizzly bears and gorillas have reputations for ferocity, but these are probably exaggerated. This is especially true for gorillas, which are far more peaceful than the ‘King Kong' image suggests. In fact, chimpanzees are far more dangerous and will kill each other, as well as hunting in groups and tearing monkeys and antelopes apart.
Gorillas live in Africa, while grizzly bears live in North America, so there is no likelihood of them coming into contact with one another in the wild, unless one of them were introduced into the habitat of the other.
They also live in different habitats. Most gorillas inhabit lowland tropical rainforest, but some live in bamboo forest and montane rainforest. The grizzly bear prefers open habitats, such as tundra, alpine meadows and coastlines. This means that a gorilla would not adapt well to the bear's habitat and the bear would not adapt well to the gorilla's habitat.
I think that if they ever came into contact, they would avoid one another. Grizzly bears rarely attack people and prefer to avoid confrontation. A male gorilla will go through various threat displays and will avoid fighting if he can. If anything, I think the gorilla would back down if the bear did not move away and I can't really imagine a bear being put off by a gorilla chest-beating or hooting. A gorilla will usually only attack if an aggressor runs away. It will back down if the aggressor stays where it is. I can't really see the grizzly turning tail.
I think a fight would be very unlikely, but if they were to fight, I believe that the bear holds most of the trump cards. If the gorilla and grizzly are the same size, it would involve a full-grown male gorilla fighting a rather small grizzly bear. This will benefit the gorilla more than if there were two full-grown animals fighting, as the bear would be heavier.
The gorilla is mainly vegetarian and rarely feeds on animal matter, whereas a grizzly can kill a moose with one swipe of its paw. The bear has the advantage here.
The gorilla's ferocity is a bluff to deter potential adversaries. The bear is being genuinely ferocious and has the advantage here, as it is less likely to back down.
Both have powerful canine teeth and use these mainly in threat displays. The bear is more likely to use the canines to bite and kill prey, while gorillas are practically herbivorous. The bear has the advantage here.
Both have powerful upper limbs, but the bear has long claws, whereas the gorilla has nails. Once again, the bear has the advantage to the bear.
The gorilla is more intelligent than the bear, but the gorilla has more facial expressions. Bear keepers say that it is very difficult to read a bear's mind, because of the lack of facial expression. I don't think the gorilla would be able to either, so I don't think the gorilla's intelligence would be much of an advantage here.
Perhaps the only advantage to a gorilla and bear in a one-on-one situation is habitat. The bear would have the advantage in a clearing, but the gorilla would have the advantage if it ran into a rainforest or montane forest and the bear followed. I can't really imagine a bear chasing a gorilla into a forest or other gorillas fighting the bear – I presume you want a one-on-one fight. Chimpanzees can band together to kill leopards, but I haven't heard cases of gorillas doing so.
But, as I stated earlier, I don't think a fight would be likely, especially as one of the animals would be rather disorientated in a strange habitat. It is also unusual for individuals of different species to fight one another. The nearest is when a predator is attacking a prey animal. As bears do not prey on gorillas, this is not a natural phenomenon.
I hope the above scenario does not occur. I don't like the idea of people gaining enjoyment by watching animals fight one another. I hope that your argument is more of a speculative nature, rather than a desire to see animals fighting to the death. Gorillas are becoming increasingly threatened by deforestation and hunting for bushmeat and trophies, while various types of grizzly bear are also threatened. The Mexican grizzly bear is extinct, while other varieties have been classified as threatened under the US Endangered Species Act. Having grizzly bears and gorillas fighting one another is not a good idea.
All the best
Jonathan
