Who do you guys think would win in a fight. Considering about the same weight and size. Largest adult gorilla about 400 pounds, and a small grizzly at about the same weight.

I'll put my money on the bear because of the claws, but a gorilla could have enormous strength and it could out smart the bear.

What do you guys think?

Unless the gorilla is packing a 44 mag and a 12 gauge he will end up being a bear turd.

The gorilla might have a chance....if he ran away!

I think the largest grizzly (largest size for a male) is around 800 pounds in the wild (normal weight). The largest gorilla (I believe in captivity being fed vegi burgers) was around 500 pounds (with 400 tops in the wild). The bear is pure predator and the gorilla...well he is just more concerned about defending his territory and personal space more then anything else.

The bear wins hands down..even if you have to give a handicap to the gorilla by shrinking the bear by 300-400 pounds:)...

Gorilla. dexterity, agility, ability to use objects as weapon, strength. Bear claws do present a problem, but it is mainly a one dimensional attack.

Gorilla can get in the air, do better stratagic attacks. Plus gorillas when they fight use both hands as hammers to bash it's prey. Now not being carnivore doesn't make a difference. The gorilla is way more agile.

Bears can climb trees too, they use both their arms and their mouth and go straight for the neck. They can run faster uphill than down compared to a human. i think a Grizzly would slaughter a Gorilla.

Both are much too large to consider trees as a form of offense. I still say based on strength, intelligence, agility and ability to manipulate objects to be used as weapons the gorilla would win more often than not. Bears would not expect a boulder to the dome, or a drop kick to the chest after the gorilla having had moved quickly between low and high terrain. Too many intangibles for the bear to deal with.

But

In a open area with nothing in sight. I may have to change my vote. But in a typical wooded area or even a more tropical surrounding I am still going Gorilla. This is also assuming each is equally agitated with the same motivation (protection of their young). Gorilla, by nature are pretty docile animals.

"If I'm ever in a fight with a bear don't help me ni$$a help the bear "

But I say gorilla if the bear enters his area. Open ground the bEar might fuck up the gorilla.

Have you guys seen what a freaking monkey can do to people/other animals. I wouldn't want to see the end result of a gorillas opponent. Those fuckers are strong and smart! Grizzlies are awesome animals though.

let me add, the gorilla is ground and pound...it would be easy (for the gorilla) to knock a bear over standing on its hind legs...then its curtains for smokey.

imo

if the gorilla doesn't land the first crucial strike, the bear has tactical advantage (4 sharp paws) and razor sharp teeth, my vote goes to the bear, they've found bears that have had 45 and 40 cal magazines emptied in their chests/stomachs and they were still out doing work on humans and other prey. I'd say we pull up the statistic of how many humans get killed by bears and humans that get killed by gorillas.
