Although a silverback gorilla is very fast, quite strong, and has a longer arm span, it is unlikely that a silverback could defeat the much larger and faster grizzly bear in a fair fight. The one advantage that a Silverback might have is the enormous strength of its muscles.
With the bear's massive body, superior muscle, surprising speed and evolutionary armory, there really isn't any way a gorilla wins the fight. Every attempt it makes would be thwarted by at least one of these factors.
Polar Bear (Strongest Land-Based Carnivore)
Due to the Polar bear's superior size and strength, it is the world's largest and most powerful land carnivore. The polar bear would almost certainly kill the gorilla if the two ever met.
The only predator to prey on gorillas is the leopard. Walter Baumgärtel found the remains of several gorillas after they had been killed by leopards in the Virunga Volcanoes. Another case has been confirmed in Gabon, where a sick young gorilla was killed by a leopard.
Predators. Leopards and crocodiles are large carnivores which may prey upon gorillas. Humans are the greatest threat to all gorilla populations.
It is believed that a gorilla punch is strong enough to shatter your skull with one slam of its arm:/Between 1300 to 2700 pounds of force. Gorillas on (avg. 400 lbs) have a muscle mass density almost 4 times higher than the most heavily muscled powerful human you know.
Exerts Most Absolute Force: Whales
A blue whale can generate a maximum force of approximately 60 kilonewtons. Whales can claim the title of the strongest creature on the planet simply due to their enormous size.
They are both highly aggressive creatures, so a prolonged fight could be brutal. Even then, the lion would probably come out on top, making up for its relative lack of stamina with sheer power. A lion has a good chance of killing a gorilla in a one-on-one fight. The only thing is that a lion rarely fights alone.
No, an unarmed human being could not beat a gorilla in a fight. Simply put, gorillas are far too strong for human beings to overcome. If the human sees the gorilla first, the best the human could hope for is finding a nearby place to hide.
individual leopards smaller than lions have killed gorillas on rare occasions hippos are also known to prey on animals larger than gorillas. they have also killed nile crocodiles which are over twice the size of a gorilla in addition to lions a hippopotamus can easily kill a gorilla.
A bear would win a fight against a lion. Bears have the advantage in just about every aspect, from size to offensive capabilities. The only time that a lion would win is if it managed to sneak up and ambush a bear, leaping onto it and biting into its head with such power that it shattered the skill.
However, grizzly bears are tougher than polar bears as they possess stronger and longer claws and an elongated skull with sharp and long canines that can completely separate the flesh from bone.
In the battle of the grizzly bear vs tiger, a Siberian tiger would win a fight against a grizzly bear. The Siberian tiger is an ambush predator, and it's the only big cat that comes close to the grizzly bear in terms of size and power.
The results show that the elephant wears the crown in the animal kingdom – but only slightly. Elephants had a win rate of 74%, just fractions of a percent ahead of their single-horned cousins – the rhinoceros – in second place, also on 74%. Not far behind in third place is the grizzly bear, at 73%.
The honey badger has been called the world's most fearless animal because it doesn't hesitate to attack animals much larger than itself- even lions and crocodiles! Honey badgers are found in arid grasslands and savannahs and even rainforests. They live in burrows in the ground.
The zebra has the strongest kick, with roughly 3000 pounds of force. This beats both the giraffe at around 2000 and the red kangaroo at roughly 800.
Knockouts happen when the head moves around too much and causes the brain to knock against the skull. the stiffer and less movable the head, the less likely is a knockout. The only way you could potentially knock out a gorilla with a single punch is, if they also have a oculocardiac reflex like us humans.
Answer by Kent Fung: Highly unlikely, if no firearms or tranquilizer guns are involved. A gorilla can reach speeds of 20 mph to 25 mph. A Silverback Gorilla has mastered every form of martial arts. What is the strongest creature in the animal kingdom that he can defeat?
The average punch force of karate black belt is recorded at 325 pounds. So the punch force of a gorilla could be from 1300 lbs to 2700 lbs. A human can fight a gorilla, but the outcome wouldn't be good. The gorilla is simply too powerful.
Would it surprise you to know that an adult bear has almost no predators? Bears are large and can be quite intimidating so they don't have many enemies. Their biggest enemies are humans and each other. It's the cubs and the smaller females that have to watch out.
On land, the bear could possibly win a fight if it managed to flip over a crocodile and attack its underside. However, this fight would not be over quickly: the bear would need to do a lot of damage to finally kill the reptile.
An elephant would beat a bear in a fight. Even though we have granted this hypothetical bear the best features of all the various species, the fact remains that they cannot do enough damage to kill an adult elephant. A fully grown bull elephant would most likely smell or hear a bear coming long before it showed up.
