A crocodile would win a fight against a gorilla. Most of the fights would begin in or near water, and a gorilla doesn't stand a chance in that scenario. If a crocodile bit and dragged the gorilla into the water, then it's a simple victory. The two creatures might meet each other on land, though.
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.
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.
Big cats like leopards and panthers sometimes kill and eat these big reptiles. Large snakes can also do a lot of damage to alligators and crocodiles.

Lions are mammals and crocodiles are reptiles. Crocodiles are larger and heavier than lions. Lions and crocodiles are both apex predators that hunt other animals using ambush tactics. However, lions are faster than crocodiles on land.
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. When threatened, gorillas have viciously thrashed and mauled humans.
However, if it comes down to one-on-one combat, the polar bear will have a huge advantage over the gorilla. A polar bear's jaw can exert up to 1,200 pounds of pressure per square inch which is twice that of the silverback gorilla.
Being close to the bear means being close to the mouth full of gnashing teeth and at least five claws ready to tear the gorilla apart with one swipe. With the bear's massive body, superior muscle, surprising speed and evolutionary armory, there really isn't any way a gorilla wins the fight.
Predators. Leopards and crocodiles are large carnivores which may prey upon gorillas. Humans are the greatest threat to all gorilla populations.
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.
A dung beetle is not only the world's strongest insect but also the strongest animal on the planet compared to body weight. They can pull 1,141 times their own body weight. This is the equivalent of an average person pulling six double-decker buses full of people.
An elephant would win in a fight against a gorilla. Gorillas are certainly powerful and smart animals, but they lack any definitive means of killing an elephant. Unless they happened upon an elephant lying down and managed to inflict severe bites to them, a gorilla simply would not stand a chance.
A gorilla would win a fight against a snake in the vast majority of cases. If a snake smaller than 10ft long or so attacked a gorilla as a constrictor, the gorilla would bite it to death or tear it apart. A gorilla bitten by a venomous snake would most likely attack and kill the creature before succumbing to its venom.
If the fight were to happen on land, a rhino might have the upper hand against a saltwater croc because it is more used to living on land. However, if a fight started close to the water or in the water directly, the crocodile would likely defeat the rhino.
The gorilla and grizzly have a relatively similar bite strength, but the bear's build makes it harder for a gorilla's bite to be equally as effective. The gorilla's biggest advantage is its spry movement, whereas the grizzly's primary advantage is its claws. The grizzly is larger, but the gorilla is stronger.
A tiger would kill a gorilla in a fight. If a tiger managed to ambush a gorilla, the tiger would immediately kill it. Although the gorilla is strong, the fact is that it could not stop 600 pounds of charging muscle and teeth.
A gorilla would win in a fight against an orangutan. Gorillas are far better fighters and far more capable of inflicting fatal trauma on enemies. An orangutan might escape a gorilla by climbing trees, but that is not going to defeat the gorilla.
No! Not a chance in a million years. Even two MMA fighters would lose badly against a gorilla. Gorillas are physically far superior to MMA fighters, boxers, or any martial artists.
If a fight occurred between a hippo and a gorilla it is obvious that a hippo severely outmatches even the largest of gorillas and strongest gorillas. In a fight, a hippo can easily kill a gorilla by either charging through them or using its large mouth to take them out.
The gorilla's attacking capabilities are significant. They are thought to be ten times stronger than the lion, and they'll utilize every bit of that strength to slap, toss, and leap at their foes. They are capable of biting and tearing their enemies.
#6: Crocodiles
What is most likely to kill an elephant is the crocodile biting the elephant's trunk off. The elephant may then die as a result of not being able to eat and drink properly, or even breathe. On the other hand, a crocodile is most likely to kill a baby elephant and is most successful on its watery turf.
A crocodile would win a fight against a Komodo dragon. Crocodiles are simply too large and too powerful for a Komodo dragon to fight back against. One likely outcome would be the crocodile waiting for the Komodo dragon in the water and dragging it beneath the waves to suffer a brutal death.
Crocodiles are too large and strong for bears to overcome. A fully grown saltwater crocodile would win a fight against the largest bears. Size matters in these fights and crocodiles have that advantage. Bears are undoubtedly strong, but they've never faced anything like a crocodile to know their weaknesses.
