In 1949, a Human Being had an official boxing match with a bear. The bear, muzzled and wearing boxing gloves knocked the boxer out. Don't underestimate the power of the bear and that's without its more obvious attributes as its bite force and claws.

I have the bear beating the gorilla by TKO or bite in round 7

Round 7? I think both would be f**ked by the end of round 2 if it came down to a tussle. I don't think there's many animals on the planet that could fight beyond 3 rounds. They just don't have the ability to control their adrenaline. It's all or nothing so they're f**ked within a very short period of time, probably within the first round. They'd have shaken hands/paws and decided it ain't worth the hassle if it goes beyond a couple of rounds.

People always exaggerate so much when talking about gorillas.
The average gorilla in the wild weighs nowhere near 500lbs. Many of them not even 400lbs.
And this 10+times stronger than any human is also the same s**t that was claimed many many years ago about chimps.
Recent studies found out that a chimp is pound for pound 2 times stronger than an average human.
No way in hell would a gorilla stand a chance against a big bear. A bear is a good equipped predator. A gorilla is a peaceful gentle plant eater.

Great animal, but estimates of peak mass tend to be around 800-1000kg. Which is around the theoretical limit of a terrestrial mammalian carnivore.

I wonder if this bear could beat a honey badger in a fight?

He was huge at this year's WSM...like noticeably so. I remember Terry putting on social media that he looked over 500lbs.

Easily. There's a video of an elephant taking out a male buffalo on YouTube. Obviously no way near the weight of a hippo but a Cape buffalo is a proper bit of kit and the elephant bulldozed it like hot butter.

Interesting about chimps. Chimps have pulled the hands of people, literally. I would've thought it would take more than 2x lb for lb to do that given that chimps are a fair bit lighter than a sturdy bloke!

quote:

"The apes were less-than-willing participants in the study. They were more apt to tear apart the shiny dynamometer than pull on it, and, unless the ape had a "distinctly vicious disposition," she was unlikely to approach the experimental task with much vigor. Bauman managed to rig his device outside the cage, feeding in a rope for the apes to work on. Then, amazingly, one of the Bronx chimpanzees—a former circus ape named Suzette—managed to pull 1,260 pounds.

Bauman took his study on the road, attempting tests at the Philadelphia Zoo and making inquiries as far afield as Chicago and Cincinnati. In 1926, he returned to the Bronx Zoo, successfully testing the largest chimpanzee then in captivity. That animal, named Boma, pulled 847 pounds one-handed."
