Silverback gorilla vs grizzly bear?

[pat]

12 body builders is 12 wierd dudes.  I have to think one of them is packing a concealed weapon, in which case the odds are more even.  However, it's likely a 9mm which will probably just tickle the gorilla.

I'm still voting gorilla in my scenario.

A gorilla can kill a human with 1 punch. 12 punches fight over. 

Not even mentioning the 1300 psi bite force. That's like between a bull shark and jaguar. A hippo is only 1800...

 

That's stronger than a grizzly, but not by much. The problem with Grizzly vs Gorilla is that the gorilla's entire innards would be on the ground before he could strike back. Not the case vs 12 humans. I believe one skilled knight with a sword could take a gorilla but not a grizzly.

I asked ChatGPT who wins the bat vs knife fight and it said the bat is more likely to win.

Grizzly beats gorilla 100 times out 100.

 

100 men could defeat a gorilla if we just had guys actively martyring themselves and they were all professional level athletes. But even then gorilla has 10x better odds. 

[Jamalisms]

In an effort to put this debate to rest (without orchestrating a fight between a hundred men and a gorilla, of course), Yahoo News turned to Tara Stoinski, the president, CEO and chief scientific officer for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

 

Stoinski, who has studied gorillas for more than 30 years, said she’s received a number of inquiries from friends and other news outlets trying to get an answer to this very question. She told Yahoo News she wasn’t necessarily surprised by social media’s interest in this particular question because “a question that gets asked all the time is how much stronger are gorillas than people.”

 

“[Gorillas] are much stronger than us, not only in their physical body strength — they’ve got all that upper body strength, particularly the males,” Stoinski said. “They’re the largest primate on the planet, but also they’ve got these massive heads and jaws and jaw muscles, so they’re really strong biters — and all of this is in defense.”

 

By “in defense,” Stoinski explains that gorillas are vegetarians, so their strong muscles and jaws are used for protection rather than hunting.

 

So, what does Stoinski think? Could a single gorilla take on 100 men? According to her, no. The humans would likely win, she said.

 

“The male gorilla comes in with all of his size and strength, 400 pounds of pure muscle, incredible jaw strength, just a very intimidating demeanor,” she said. “I think, though, that in this case, it’s a numbers game. With 100 men coming after one gorilla, they just have a lot of strategies that they could use to wear the gorilla down, to tire them out. They can coordinate their behavior; they can take turns.”

 

It wouldn’t necessarily be a seamless win for the humans, though.

 

“He’d probably take out a number of humans in the fight; they wouldn’t go unscathed,” Stoinski said. “I think that the numbers just work in the human’s favor.”
