Ol'Hickster Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Okay well Lets make it short and quick. Today at work we were all sitting around at lunch and we were all chatting and I dont remember how we got on to the topic but the question came up, Who do you think would win in a fight??? A Bear or a Gorilla? Any thoughts skanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Chaos Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 both strong, always thought bears do more biting.I vote bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 This is hardly a stupid question.If it was a black bear (or a koala or a panda for that matter), I'd take the gorilla hands down. If we're talking polar bear the polar bear would win no question. Polar bears can beat up anything that walks. Now, a grizzly bear against a gorilla...that would make a good fight.

Uncle Chaos Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 and if the koala had a knife, Velvet? what then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 if it's pay per view, consider me sold. set it up!!(but yeah, none of that weak koala bear shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allison Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I vote gorilla UNLESS said fight commenced immediatley after the gorilla had come across koalas mating...one of the most disconcerting noises I have ever heard.The bewilderment of the gorilla would allow the Koala to get away which is winning in a sense.Australian porn saves the day.

celticwolfsun Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'd say Bear.. . not koala.. Panda's I have a feeling can be pretty nasty.. but not against a gorilla... hmmmm I know there used to be this show on discovery or something.. and it had simulated animal fights.. like a Shark vs a salt water crocodile.. and the shark won only because the crocodile had to go back up for air. There was another one I think a Lion vs Tiger or something.... But anyways.. I think i'd go with the Bear.. also because they would bite more..

Hal Johnson Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 The trick is for the Gorilla to not fight the bear, but negotiate with it, like this guy did: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Jim Halpert: Question. What kind of bear is best?Dwight Schrute: That's a ridiculous question.Jim Halpert: False. Black bear.Dwight Schrute: That's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought--Jim Halpert: Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.Dwight Schrute: Bears do not...

KarinGarage Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i say gorilla, they're much smarter than bears and can use tools like sticks and rocks to fight the bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8FuL Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 a gorilla could definetley take a small bear but theres no way it would be able to take on a full grown grizzly, brown bear or a polar bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 depends on the gorilla type too...i guess that a mountain gorilla could defeat most if not all bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I did a little research and grizzles, polar and black bears, grow to be taller and heavier than gorilla's, so they definitely have the advantage there.I think the dexterity of the gorilla also weighs heavily into the decision. However, human beings have way more dexterity than a gorilla. In hand to hand combat (no weapons) we'd be fucked against a bear.So I think the superior size and weight of the bears puts the odds in their favour.

Ol'Hickster Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yea I was thinking the Bear would be the favour aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) A small black bear would lose to a large silverback gorilla. Brown and polar bears can get up to twice the weight of a gorilla and they are a lot taller, too. They also eat meat, hunt and kill for a living. Gorillas mostly lie around all day and eat veggies. So the smart money is on the bear. The only caveat I can see is if the contest were to happen at this time of year. The bear has been hibernating, so it is sleepy and has lost a lot of bulk. Now is the only time the gorilla would stand a chance. Edited January 31, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol'Hickster Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Anything attacking something that is alseep has a advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Gorilla's are cheaters if they attack while the bear is sleeping and hence disqualify them from the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'd anticipate many a false charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 how would the appeal work? the appellant is dead or hurt bad. all's fair in gorilla-vs-bear fights.bears should be ready to fight at all times. they have a reputation to uphold.

Freeker Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 The real question is.Who would win in a fight between a Terradactyl and a bear...with the strength of two bears?discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggest Fan Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 As far as the first question I think for the most part it is a toss up... but factor in the old bear CLAWS and you got to go with the bears. Although I sure do like gorillas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
