Me and some bros of mine have had this argument for the past couple years, who would win in a fight between these two majestic animals? So, I thought I would weigh in on the smackoff board and see what some of you gE bros thought. Let's look at the tale of the tape.
Grizzly Bear Advanatage:
Height and weight
Bite force
Claws
Silverback Gorilla Advantage:
Agility
Intelligence
Opposable thumbs
Push:
Speed
Strength
-
Grizzly bear. And it's not even close.

Going to need more deetz. Female grizz with cubs?

Guys the gorilla could pick up a stick or something. Or could just plug the nose of the bear till it passes out.
-
Silverback mops the floor with that grizzly bear.
-
Gorilla, dumbasses.

This. A full grown grizzly is historically 138-1-1 against the silver back.

The bear was winning the 1852 "tie" but some Chinese were caught cheating in a card game and the whole exhibition turned into a race war.

limestone is a mod for a reason. it's part of his job to thoroughly research stuff like this before just "throwing it out there". if he said it, it's true.

Lions can't even stand on their hind legs for that long, wouldn't be able to get leverage. I'm not sure if that is a relevant comparison.

gorillas eat leaves for a living. it's not like they have mike tyson's psyche.

Silver backs are almost extinct for a good reason. Also, Jane Goodall. Lol

I can't say that I know what a gorilla's psyche is like with any kind of certainty, but they seem pretty tough. I was at the zoo a few months back, and I was checking out the gorillas when one of them stood up and let out a roar while beating his chest. Even with impenetrable safeguards between me and the gorilla, I still almost crap my pants, it was the single most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed in person.

ITT, deuce is apparently the silverback gorilla :Boxing:

That was his way of saying that he is a weakling and very afraid of you.

Remember when in Legends of the Fall Tristan gets taken out by a grizzly? "It was a good death."
I hope I die a good death.

Guys if this guy can't kill a grizzly, then you think a silverback can? Pfft.

-

yep. gorillas are very good at making noise and eating bamboo while grizzlies are good at killing moose and fighting other grizzlies for the right to sleep with hot grizzly babes.
-
not even close. would be over in one swipe of the bear's claw
-
new thread idea- who do you think would win in a fight between a salmon and a grizzly bear?

it was probably some pud bear cub that already got shot once in west virginia and stumbled onto a boat and ended up in bosnia and the dude just kicked it in the head while it was digging through trash for its first food in months
-
Gorilla would win a sign language-off
-
Important! Where would the fight be held: Africa, NA or a room temperature location?

Gorilla's would use a banana peel as a trap to get the bear to slip
-
bear would smell peel, pick it up and slap the crap out of the gorilla.

You gonna have one dead-assed gorilla on your hands.

gorilla. smarter and quicker.

:lol:
Almost mentioned how old this argument is myself.
-
Adult male Grizzly bears weigh on average 180–360 kg (400–790 lb).
Occasionally, a silverback of over 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) and 230 kg (510 lb) has been recorded in the wild.

Aren't we? Not much of a discussion tho. Grizz >>>>>>>>>> Silverback. Not even close.

A chimp, which is like 1/5 the size/strength of a gorilla, can rip off a car door. People hide in cars from bears because they know they're safe.
A gorilla would win this.

Team battles. That's the cutting edge of battles.
Silver Back Gorilla AND a Grizzly VERSUS a White Rhino AND a Hippo.

My brother told me some of those huge ass snapper alligator turtles can defeat an alligator in the swamp in Louisiana, but are both defeated when inserted with krokodil.

A Gorilla with tennis rackets for arms vs a Bear with lamp shade over its head.

An average American teenager (male, 16 years old) vs. 12 rabid tom cats. No weapons, kid is wearing a t-shirt and gym shorts. Assume an adequate amount of rabies medicine available should the teenager live.

Had the exact same argument in college with my roommate.
Grizz in a landslide

Teenager.
While ole ben ji was no slouch on the athletic field(First team 2A all state in football(2 years) AND wrestling(5 years)) I would have no problem destroying those 12 stupid kitty cats without getting a scratch on me. Assuming I'm in the center circle of a basketball court(pussy sport btw) and the cats come at me equally from all sides....I would easily drop kick the first one and follow through to hit AT LEAST 4 more tom-cats. That leaves 7 left....Lets say 2 jump on my back while I'm drop kicking those 5 tom-cats....well guess what? I've got 2 hands, BOOM 7 DOWN AND 5 LEFT.
Now these 5 that are left have decided to regroup and check for weaknesses(there are none) slowly circling me until I suddenly realize I'm backing in a corner....I'd imagine 2 would lunge for my face while 2 lung for my legs, the general hangs back....As the two TOM-CATS lunge towards my face I do a quick "Shoot(Wrestling term)" and duck the two airborn cats who find their necks snapped as they crash into a concrete wall. While following through with the "Shoot" I grab the 2 leg attacking Tom-Cats with each of my hands before tossing them aside leaving only me and the general who wants nothing to do with me and Runs away like a scaredy cat.
An average American Teenager? Meh, they would get some deep scratch wounds on 3/4 of their body but they would prevail eventually.

My old roomate had a hemmingway(Extra Toe like Maine Coons) cat named Git-Mo after Guantanamo Bay. That cat was the most meanest scoundrel of a cat that ever lived, roaming up and down the street at all hours of the night killing birds and attacking neighbors cats...Bout once a week we would hear a scrum in the front yard an have to pull Git-Mo off a wayward cat who had stumbled onto "His" block.
And you know what? That cat never gave me crap once...NOT ONCE.....So yeah, Tom-Cat/Maine Coon/Garfield, it dont matter. I'd crush them all, like Ivan Drago at that one carnival game where you smack the hammer down real hard on the scale.
