"With enough squeeze strength, a gorilla can break bones simply by grabbing someone, and could break a back by holding them with both hands."


" The phrase "rip limb from limb" could not be more accurate for a gorilla in combat. If a gorilla gets its hands on something, things are going to go very badly for the them. A gorilla will be able to tear off limbs, tear off someone's head, even tear a person in half. A chimp is estimated at 5x a human's strength, so a gorilla at an estimated 10-20x should be 2100 to 6300 pounds... as much as 4-11 horses. So to review, would a gorilla ripping a limb off be like ripping the wings off of a butterfly? Probably not... but tearing off an arm or leg should be no harder than starting a lawnmower."

"a swing of a gorilla's fist is going to be 15 times stronger than a pro boxer's, AND THAT IS IGNORING ALL OF A GORILLA'S OTHER STRENGTH ADVANTAGES"

"The most straight-forward method in the gorilla's arsenal - hit things until they are dead. This is a common way for gorillas to fight each other or protect from predators, fighting back even hippos, crocodiles, and jaguars leopards. Gorillas fighting in captivity have resulted in broken bones."

That's fine, but read the article posted above: a gorilla died fighting a leopard, which is smaller and weaker than a lion. You guys keep ignoring this.

I don't think you're giving the male lion enough credit for it's strength.

Your example is like a world class strong man competitor fighting a world class sprinter who's holding a knife. I'd bet on the sprinter:merchant:

On the grizzly bear...there are reports of them running from one animal...the sasquatch.

I know most of you believe sasquatch are tales, but they not. A fisherman says he saw a huge brown bear behaving as he never saw one behave, then take off running. He says he then saw why when a huge hair covered man came into view, a sasquatch.

You ever saw those king Kong movies where it would be fighting a monster and kill it by ripping the animals jaws open?

I say the lion wins. The speed, agility, sharp ass fangs, and I don't think the gorilla has thick ass skin like a rhino or something.

Money is on the lion:ld:

They do though... plus a lot of people underestimate just how thick the fur is on a Gorilla. A lion could swipe all it wants, them claws are only good for a flesh wound at best.. If it bites the Gorilla it's getting nothing but a mouthfull of fur. I can't stress enough how much fur is a game changer.

Lions are streamlined killers, yes, but you have to look at what types of animals they are trained to kill. Theyre used to hunting animals with thin skin that run around on all fours leaving their necks wide open. When a Lion encounters a hulking furry beast standing on two legs with unimaginably long, massive and powerful arms swinging at it from so many awkward angles, the lion won't know what to do. By the time he figures out where the gorilla's neck is or how to get to it without getting clobbered, hed be heavily injured. Also, the Gorilla's bite force is almost twice the lion's. A solid bite means broken bones for the lion. The lion wouldn't be able to return the favor.

This combined with the sheer strength and intelligence of the gorilla and it's just too much for one lion to handle. The Gorilla is too smart to let the lion jump straight at its neck, he'll just parry that shxt or put his arm in his mouth and smash his skull with the free arm. Having two arms is such an advantage, gorilla can create leverage from so many different positions.

you think the Gorilla is gonna make a strategic militaristic plan on how to take out a lion?

lol

he out there sharpening spears and laying traps and shyt.

We are intelligent and if I came face to face with a lion, I'm gonna get slaughtered. Only chance i have is sticking my arm down it's mouth and hoping to pull out its heart.

have you ever tried to grab a cat that didn't want to be grabbed?

Sorry a lion jumping around slashing at a gorilla will not make him grabbing the lion very easy

To keep it real, a leopard has trouble killing a healthy man, meaning it isn't easy.

I belive a male chimp would work a leopard, and the leopard is my favorite animal. But a GORILLA :usure: naw breh. Only gorilla a leopard killing is a baby. Or maybe an adult that's already dying.
