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.

Jfc do the fucking math before making ignorant statements.

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

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. 

 

The bear being faster and bigger implies that it is stronger.  Where do you get your numbers?

If a gorilla fought a bear 100 times the bear would win 100 times. 

Not only that, the gorilla would run away. He’d posture for a while and act tough but he’d get the fuck out when the bear came after him / didn’t back down. 

 

.. if the bear even lets him leave. The bear may catch up and kill it for being in its territory.

I don't think most people realize how fast an agile a bear is 

Stamina too. Bears have been known to run for miles at near sprint. Gorillas haven't been seen to run longer than 30-40 yards at a time. 

 

stamina probably wouldnt even matter though...

 

Gorillas and humans peak around 25 MPH. Grizzlys hit around 37MPH.... give that gorilla a 10 yard head start and he's caught 20 yards later before he even gets tired.

I watched a video of a grizzly chasing a deer and was shocked at how fast it was and how it was able to pounce on it. The deer had a baby so that slowed it down but the bear was still hauling ass.

From reputable sites dealing with these animals. Not wikipedia.

 

It isnt stronger. Do the math. A creature weighing 400+ lbs that has the strength that is 6-10x it's size has 2400-4000 lbs of force. 700 lb grizzly has about 560 lbs of force. Gorillas are much stronger.

An ant is the strongest creature lb for lb.....

 

Ant vs Bear, WG has the ant, anyone else?

I never said either one would win you dense pos.

 

I said, repeatedly, that this is a pretty even fight. But because all you guys just choose one on a knee jerk reaction because grizzlies are bigger. Then a bunch of you keep making false claims and presenting them as facts after having those stupid claims debunked repeatedly.

 

This entire thread you all keep misrepresenting the size of grizzlies to make them much larger than they really are and minimizing the size of gorillas.
