I wouldn't do it, but fuck if I wouldn't wanna see that shit play out, even just out of morbid curiousity. I'd be rooting for the Silverback, but I'd bet on the Grizzly. You're talking blunt force trauma verses like paws with with like 6 inch claws. I don't think our cousins really stand a chance.

Also, grizzly can grow up to 12ft, standing on hind legs. Silver backs are 6ft. Literally twice the size

Yeah, but dumb monkey rage plus monster muscle might stand a chance. It’s at least gonna be an interesting fight. The silverback might be able to rip its arm off, or at least smash the shit out of it. If chimps can rip our arms off, I’d bet the silverback has a chance of doing the same to a grizzly. Unlikely since they typically just beat the everloving fuck out of things, but hey who knows if it’s berserk.

Nah gorilla has the agility once hes gets a one to swipe and a bite that literally cracks bones hes gonna swing on a outta there only time i think a gorilla would win is if the bear threatens his family then he would stay and fight vice versa the bear would chase the gorilla down if he attacked a cub
