Had an argument with a guy at work as to whether a polar bear could beat a gorilla. He could not be persuaded that a 600kg apex predator would fuck up what is basically a fat guy who eats flowers...
I think it depends where they fight.
If polar bear would fight in the jungle it would get hot and go to drink water. At that time it would be completelly open for suplex from the gorilla.
And if they were to fight on the ice sheet the gorilla would not have any trees where to hang tire swing and he would get depressed and unintrested to fight. So in the end it boils down to what kind of social services and safety nets are in the arctic and can they help primates like 1989 released Belgian techno anthem Pump up the jam can help humans.
Philomena Cunk fan by any chance?
My mate Paul once fought a polar bear. It only beat him because he'd lost an arm fighting a gorilla earlier that afternoon.
If you put them in the same room, whoever gets to set the climate control wins.
This is such an underrated comment lol
Say what you want this is is an interesting thought, although the polar bear would most likely win because of its sheer mass. The gorilla has a lot going for it. A silverback can get to almost half that weight and has a greater bite force, intelligence, agility, and reach. They can also throw punches of up to 2300 lbs of force, which could easily break a bone or skull.
The next issue is training. Gorilla has none and the bear fights naturally.
Gorillas fight a fair amount so to say they have no training isn't correct.
I'm certainly no expert so I'd appreciate any Jane Goodall types that want to correct me, but aren't almost all gorilla fights for dominance until someone backs down so no one gets too fucked up and rarely dies? Whereas polar bears kill to live.
Also, gorillas may have a hell of a haymaker but polar bears have big nasty fuck you claws.
Agreed I think it'd be pretty crazy fight. If it didn't hurt the animals involved I'd pay-per-view it for sure. From what I read they fight for territory, family protection, securing a female and to keep their rank. However, I am not a gorilla expert but I did stay at a holiday and express once.
The polar bear preys on animals heavier than a gorilla....
Mountain gorillas are definitely not fat.
A more apt comparison would be a black bear vs a gorilla.
