Bears have knife-like claws. Gorillas have arms like bats. Discuss...

I was out shopping with the family and I just so happened to stumble upon this very scenario.    I think you guys might be surprised at the answer.       That s

This was a joke but a few people talked about retreating and all that... Did no one listen to that Joe Rogan podcast  story? The bear ran off and attacked again and again from different angles throughout the night.

So a bear is bigger and faster than the gorilla?  With claws?

 

The ape is toast.

Yeah it would seem that the only advantages the gorilla would have would be a thumb so he could grab and pull better and he's probably a bit smarter but I highly doubt that'd be enough.

All the pro gorilla arguments are countered with "but it's a grizzly bear"

Grizzly is bigger, faster, and has claws.  Gorilla has thumbs.  WTF are thumbs going to do in a fight?

Being able to grab and pretty helpful in a fight... just wouldn't be enough.

That's the only argument used here and it is a terrible argument. Just pure ignorance. 

 

People act like Grizzlies are the strongest animal or something. Other than insects, Gorillas are the strongest animal on the planet lb for lb. Bears are strong but their strength is about 80% of their weight. Gorillas is 6-10x their weight. That is much much stronger.

lb for lb, yes.... But that's why there are weight classes. Bears are still stronger and as a general rule, bigger and stronger wins.

not that it actually matters for the argument but ima need to see the sauce for them statements. 

 

FWIW, I do think If there was a 10ft Gorilla and a 10 Ft Grizzly locked in cage that the gorilla would win. 

 

but that would never happen... because in that world of 10 ft gorillas then the bears would be 20 ft
