      Now, I’m the king of the swingers
      Oh, the jungle VIP
      I’ve reached the top and had to stop
      And that’s what botherin’ me
      I wanna be a man, mancub
      And stroll right into town
      And be just like the other men
      I’m tired of monkeyin’ around!

    I strongly believe a Bear would easily win. It has stronger Attack and Defence.

    It has massive claws and will shred open a gorilla’s unprotected skin with it’s claws and teeth.

    A gorilla has very little in terms of defence and that will be its downfall, it also only really has its teeth to attack with, and a Bear has thick skin to protect against that.

    I don’t see how a Gorilla could deal a fatal blow to a bear before the bear would rip deep wounds into a Gorilla with it’s claws and teeth causing it to bleed out.

      In absolutely no scenario does the gorilla not just obliterate the koala bear. I don’t understand how you think they might even be a little matched in strength?

    Bear primarily because of the claws. It means it can deliver a deadly slashing attack without getting its mouth, head and neck (its most vulnerable spots) within the gorilla’s grasp.

      Not to mention a bear’s hide is very tough compared to a gorilla.

    Bears are predators evolved to hunt large game, primarily with brute force (unlike something like a big cat, which relies much more on ambushes).

    Gorrilas, as tough as they are, survive through intelligence. This means avoiding tough fights, and when absolutely needed, fighting as a troop rather than individualy.

    So bear. But…

    Does the Gorilla get time to prepare?

    The one advantage gorillas have is their intelligence. If both animals are given training, or tools, then I could see the gorilla potentially winning - mostly because a bear will struggle to get any use out of either, whereas a gorilla could be trained to fight much more effectively and possibly even make/use weapons.

    Gorilla, the bear isn’t going to be used to something fighting back and is more likely to flee when attacked.
    The gorilla is going to be territorial and flight harder when attacked.

      Bears fight other bears in the wild all the time. They are predictors and hunt and kill all the time. Elk etc. Do fight back, they just don’t stand much of a chance.

      Gorilla’s are herbivores

      Depends on the type of bear I think. Brown bears might stand a chance, though most will probably f off.

      I man that’s a lot of assumptions. In that case, throw some cubs in there and the bear would fight to the death.

    Bear, but I think it’s because gorillas are known to be peaceful and will probably run away from conflict

    If it is a fight to the death… Idk I think with how physics works it might be quite even?
