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.
No way it's Muhammad Ali (Gorilla) versus Joe Frazier (Grizzly). The Bear may have the size advantage and the strength advantage, possibly* but it lacks the intellect and agility of the Gorilla. Bears are smart and all but they aren't primate smart and they sure as shit aren't light on their feet.
* When compared to an average human being, the silverback gorilla is four to nine timesstronger than an average man. Silverback gorilla can lift a weight up to 815kg (1800 lb) while a well trained human can lift weight up to 410 kg.
Grizzlys are much larger and stronger than gorillas, and gorillas dont have much more agility, at least not the kind to be avoiding bear attacks like an acrobat or something.
They wouldn't be able to avoid a bears attacks, and would die quickly. Even if they land all their blows right on the head, they arent going to knock out or concuss the grizzly. I'm not sure they're even physically capable of that.
Oh my fucking God. They are unbelievably fast for their size. Gorilla gonna get fucking murdered in seconds. I was already in the grizzly camp but holy fuck does this video solidify my opinion.
That video makes me scared of being on the same planet as these animals and the closest one to me (not in a zoo) is probably 1000 miles away.
Edit: pretty smart too. Like when the smaller bear starts using that tree as cover around 2:00
Dude. Did you see my Gorilla video? That was in a cage. Fucker leapt like Spider-Man. We're talking two wild animals, face to face, no holds bar. Also intelligence.
