Guys the gorilla could pick up a stick or something.  Or could just plug the nose of the bear till it passes out.

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.

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.

Haven't you ever seen planet of the apes? lol

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