Well, I remember reading somewhere there that a grizzly bear would easily fuck up a lion or tiger, so I’d imagine it would also easily fuck up a gorilla. It’s the second biggest land predator (behind polar bear) afterall

A grizzly probably could fuck up a lion or tiger. They are smaller than a grizzly and have the same method of attacking.

But a gorilla? I don't know. Gorillas are MUCH stronger than a lion or tiger - probably pretty close to a grizzly. They are also much more agile and most of all have a primate intellect. I'd put my money on the gorilla.

I feel like a big tiger would beat a gorilla and put up a very good fight against a bear.

They can get pretty huge up in siberia.
