Not sure if you've seen the mention of my exploits in a very popular thread in the general football discussion late last night but i've beat off four different men in my life, certainly could take out an animal or two.
Anyway - take me out of the equation, the bear clearly wins.
Allow me to introduce another contender to the argument.
The funky Hippopotamus.
They aren't even carnivorous, they attack other mammals just for the hell of it. They're the third heaviest beast on earth. (up to 3,000 pounds FFS!) They can run up to 20 miles an hour and are built like a brick shithouse.
They attack anyone and anything in the area and couldn't give a **** about crocodiles or anything else for that matter, including humans, hell, they actually attack boats.
Fearless and an utter, utter bastard of an animal.
The Hippopotamus takes them both out.

Re: What would win a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly b
The hippo is unathletic and ponderous on land, with fast straight line speed but no agility, and as such would be slowly but surely ground down by the gorilla. The bear would probably take it on brawn for brawn and I can see a much closer contest, would depend if the hippo was quick enough to land a big tusk blow or two.

I'm sure a nuclear bomb would deal with them both as well, that isn't the question though.

^This. The bear would take out the nuclear bomb with its claws.

The hippo is not impressed with your lack of acknowledgment of his physical beast skills.

Gorilla would still win. It would take on and beat the bear and hippo even if they were working together.

No chance, you could throw five gorillas at a bear, alone or a hippo, alone and they'd be decimated.TJR wrote:Gorilla would still win. It would take on and beat the bear and hippo even if they were working together.
You lot are taking the "intelligence" of the gorilla way too far, in a pure physical fight that doesn't mean squat. We as humans are f***ing brilliant compared to a hippo or bear, does that mean we're going to kill them?

I reckon the intelligence and speed of the gorilla will be enough to beat a bear or a hippo.Matthieu wrote:No chance, you could throw five gorillas at a bear, alone or a hippo, alone and they'd be decimated.TJR wrote:Gorilla would still win.

On your last point can I use my intelligence to source a weapon? If I can then I fancy my chances against both the bear and the hippo.

Re: What would win a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly b
By "intelligence" we mean that rather than just go in all guns blazing, the gorilla will have the common sense to know that if it keeps away from the bear teeth and claws, it will be able to wear it down with punches and bites until it is too fatigued to fight, at which point the gorilla can go for the neck break. The bear would just charge and run head first into counter attack after counter attack as it isn't smart enough to be patient/dodge.Matthieu wrote:No chance, you could throw five gorillas at a bear, alone or a hippo, alone and they'd be decimated.TJR wrote:Gorilla would still win.

Absolutely not. You're again overestimating the intelligence of a gorilla and underestimating the intelligence of a bear.Cheik the room wrote:By "intelligence" we mean that rather than just go in all guns blazing, the gorilla will have the common sense to know that if it keeps away from the bear teeth and claws, it will be able to wear it down with punches and bites until it is too fatigued to fight, at which point the gorilla can go for the neck break.

(I do appreciate your support in the other thread though )
The bear would demolish him though, swiftly, as would the hippo.

I know a gorilla that has had 5 fights. I think that makes him pretty hard so I would put my money on him against a wimpy 0 fight hippo.

Does the hippo have a shiv as well or is it still just the gorilla?

Re: What would win a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly b
The bear is an instinctive predator, more intelligent than lions/tigers/dogs but still nowhere near the level of a primate. Don't get me wrong, the bear CAN win the fight. But it needs to get lucky and get a hold of the gorilla early doors. 8/10 times I back the gorillas speed, agility and intelligence.Matthieu wrote:Absolutely not.

I was trying to find videos of gorillas fighting and now my Youtube history looks really weird

Well we don't need to debate who would win out of a crocodile and a snake...
