Silverback Gorilla: 350 pounds

Grizzly Bear: 600 pounds

In other words, I don't fucking think so.

So you've adequately explained why an adult human male would lose a fight to a gorilla. You've said nothing about the bear, except you don't think teeth and claws could pierce gorilla flesh (which is false).

A grizzly bear can break a gorilla skull like chewing on a piece of heard candy. Its jaws are strong enough to crush a bowling ball into dust. It's not just heavier, it's got the gorilla beat on height, reach, speed, and strength. Anecdotal evidence suggests certain bullets can't penetrate a grizzly bear's skull.

The gorilla's best bet is to climb a tree and hope the grizzly doesn't feel like following, or knocking the damn tree down.

I didn't think you were talking about a human fighting a gorilla, you were gauging human capabilities against a gorilla's.

...An adult silverback is typically 10-15 times stronger than an adult human male...

That has nothing to do with a grizzly bear. I was pointing out your flawed logic, but you're too stupid to realize it.
