by environment i mean the gorilla is capable of picking up rocks or tree lims and using it as a weapon while a bear can't do this.

damn never expected this thread to blow up like this. obviously bear would be the favorite but the dray123 dude really dropped some knowledge bombs on the last few pages

None of what you said makes sense even if you had a 1000 pound grizzly vs a 600 pound silverback which is about the average size of the mountain gorilla a bigger stronger species of gorilla I like the silverback in this fight and I will tell you why. A silverback gorilla its been estimated has the strength of about 7-8 olympic lifters and that's a modest estimate some experts say it's stronger,and a bite force that exceeds that of even the big cats around 1300 pounds per square inch. You made the statement that a gorilla would only be slightly stronger than the bear that would be inaccurate when you consider studies that suggest bears have the strength of about 3-4 men and gorillas have the strength of about 20-30 men, one study suggest that gorillas have the strength to lift 4 sudans over head that's cars and that's about 4-6 tons I doubt very seriously if the 1000 pound or even 1400 pound bear would be forcing its weight on an animal that can lift four tons overhead the bears limbs would be snapped and it would be quickly immobilized is the more likely scenario.

Another advantage gorillas have is the fact that the gorilla has hands and they are extremely intelligent second to only men in intelligence, it is very agile and dexterous and those powerful hands regularly break bamboo which has been studiesd and proven, and is true, has a tensile strength stronger than steel, gorillas regularly break 3-5 inch bamboo like twigs it is not at all unlikely that the gorilla breaks the bears limbs easily immobilizes it and then breaks its neck,do you think a bears arms or legs are as strong as a 5 inch steel pipe? of course you don't. I like the gorilla in a tussle for this and many other reasons if the gorilla gets its hands in the bears mouth ripping the jaws apart like thread becomes a very real possibility also. The only danger I see the bear posing is a swipe from its paw but that does not necessarily suggest that the bears swipe would end the fight, gorillas have a much thicker and denser bone structure than humans and are also intelligent enough to avoid the paws and maneuver behind the bear and get on its back at which point im convinced the gorilla would have a field day, there are several options it can use to win the fight, get the bear in a headlock and snap its neck like breaking a bread stick, pry its jaws apart and rip them apart like removing a sectioned pizza slice from a large dominos pizza, bite the nape of the neck and sever the bears spine, put its thumbs in the bears eye sockets and and gouge the eyes out at which point the bear would be totally incapacitated at which point the gorilla could do whatever he wanted to do to the bear.

And lets not forget the hands on the gorillas legs yea a gorilla basically has four hands, and his legs which are much stronger than the gorillas arms, arms of which I might remind you again regularly snap 4-5 inch bamboo like twigs bamboo that has been proven to have a tensile strength stronger than steel. Hands on both the legs and arms, strength that has been estimated to be so powerful that it can hoist 4 sudans that's cars overhead, a superior intelligence and bite force actually puts the gorilla at a distinct advantage. The only advantage the bears has is in weight which is easily and quickly negated by the gorillas unearthly strength, and the bears paw swipe which the gorilla has the intelligence to avoid. I honestly don't see how the grizzly could ever hope to win this contest with the exception of those two factors. I know of a russian trainer of wild animals who said his gorillas would regularly grab the tails of full grown male lions and hurl them 100s of feet like they were nothing but stuffed animals he said gorillas are freakishly powerful. A male silverback gorilla wins this contest hands down barring a swipe from the bears paw, besides that the gorilla beats him in every other dept. Getting in a tussle with a gorilla would be a deadly mistake on the bears part, his best chance would be to stay on the outside and swipe with his paws but we both know that is not going to happen, they would eventually lock and grapple at which point based on all these key factors the gorilla essentially rips and breaks the bear apart. Oh one other thing, we are talking about a mild mannered gorilla in terms of strength, we haven't factored in the strength of a male silverback when he is enraged I think it's safe to say that those strength estimates rise substantially when the beast is enraged, probably in the range of 60- 70 men and the ability to lift 9 cars do you honestly think the bear would stand a chance in hell when facing such unearthly strength, intelligence and ferocity?

Its true dude I heard it from his own mouth he said his gorillas toy with full grown male lions toss them like their damn near weghtless just like stuffed animals and they do it real quick before the lion has a chance to react.

A gorilla doesnt needs stick and stones man he has 2 inch canines over 1300 pounds of bite force and the strength to rip most living creatures limb from limb.

Bears basically have swords for hands. That doesn't even take into account their jaws and bite strength. So how is it that some retards here believe the gorilla could win?

Not to mention the fact that it has been pointed out that these matches have been had before and the bear won!

Thats a lie they have never been pitted against each other to my understanding but if they had a gorilla is much to strong for a grizzly.

That thing looks like some monster from a sci fi movie. Bear would rip any silverback to shreds. Bears are more powerful and way bigger.

[/QUOTE]It dont look anymore mencaing than a mountain gorilla all the facts support the gorilla winning the strenght and intelligence would be the great equalizer.

The bear seldom strikes with its claws it uses its paws anyone who has been hit by a bear has been hit by the paw and not the nails animals and humans alike. Those arms mean nothing if they are broken in pieces. The gorilla wins.

420boxing · Jul 30, 2014

Feel like stay is giving some inaccurate information. Bears are bigger and have a stronger swipe due to having bigger and stronger forearms than gorillas. The gorilla would get mauled to death.

No...no it doesn't.

Bottom line: ape wins.

KingSantana · Aug 26, 2014

i would like to know were smokehound got his facts cuz i did research and a grizzly bear can lift over 500kg, 0.8 times its body weight while Silverback Gorilla can lift something 2,000kg (as heavy as 30 humans), over 10 times their body weight. the silver back is stronger period the only thing the bear has over him is height, size, teeth and claws, gorilla has everything else Gorilla Wins will prolly die after the fight because of all the claw marks and bites but he will finish the fight.

travilanche · Aug 27, 2014

Bears have that thick ass hide that a gorilla couldn't begin to pierce. The bear would win hands down. The people saying the gorilla would win are mad.

superkid17 · Aug 28, 2014

Gorilla. If it can rip a humans arms out of it sockets then a bear should be a cake walk.

We all know the answer to this.

Biltwellnigga · Aug 28, 2014

It would be a tough battle but I would have to say silverback. A gorilla is way more faster and smarter.

It's not a battle I would want to ever see though

ghkilla8593 · Aug 28, 2014

No offense but anyone who actually looks up their facts about silver back gorillas and then about grizzly bears and still thinks somehow that the grizzly would win is is an idiot.

Are you kidding? The silver back would be wearing the bear as a coat in 15 seconds.

kinda hard to make a coat of something when your guts have been spilled out on the ground.

Grizzlies are beautiful, intimidating creatures, but a silverback has agility, dexterity, and more capabilities. A bear cant really grab with one hand.

(phototropism is fun)

the silverback obviously, because he has thumbs, and you need those to weild a katana.
