Bear. Gorillas can get killed by leopards. Yeah, they’re musculars and got decently sharp incisives, but bears hunt large animals as part of their diet, so they’re better equiped to kill. Teeth, bite force, claws, thick fur to dampen attacks…

A gorilla and a bear, equal weight, meet in the woods and you think they are going to fight? No.

They’re going to become the best of friends.

First, they’d size each other up, realize they’re equally matched. Then, they’d nod, respectfully, and decide to team up. They would be unstoppable. The gorilla, with its incredible strength, agility, and problem-solving skills, would be the brains of the operation. It’d plan their strategies, communicate with other animals, innovate and adapt human tools for their use, and keep their team organized. The bear, with its raw power, intimidating presence, and fearsome reputation, would be the muscle. It’d protect their territory, hunt for food, and strike fear into the hearts of any who dared to resist their expansion.

Together, they’d rule the forest, a formidable duo that no other animal would dare challenge. They would create a network of informants and allies, with birds acting as their eyes in the sky, and smaller mammals like squirrels and raccoons helping to gather resources and spread their influence. The gorilla would also know when to use diplomacy, forging alliances with other animal groups to strengthen their hold.

Humans, overwhelmed and outmatched, would have no choice but to retreat, leaving the cities to the new rulers of the urban jungle. The gorilla and the bear, once mere forest dwellers, would now sit atop the crumbling skyscrapers, surveying their vast kingdom, a testament to their unlikely friendship and unstoppable power. The legend of their alliance would echo through the generations, a reminder that sometimes, the most fearsome of foes can become the greatest of friends.

I strongly believe a Bear would easily win. It has stronger Attack and Defence.

It has massive claws and will shred open a gorilla’s unprotected skin with it’s claws and teeth.

A gorilla has very little in terms of defence and that will be its downfall, it also only really has its teeth to attack with, and a Bear has thick skin to protect against that.

I don’t see how a Gorilla could deal a fatal blow to a bear before the bear would rip deep wounds into a Gorilla with it’s claws and teeth causing it to bleed out.

Only one way to find out…

Bear primarily because of the claws. It means it can deliver a deadly slashing attack without getting its mouth, head and neck (its most vulnerable spots) within the gorilla’s grasp.

At equal weight, the Gorilla is the better fighter.

Gorilla

Their power to weight ratio is fucking wild, and they’re smart as hell

Bear, unless the gorilla has a big stick

Me :)
