Could a full grown male grizzly bear kill a full grown male gorilla?

Question

But how smart is a gorilla? Would it know to use weapons or know where to strike? I always thought gorillas were dumb and chimpanzees were the smart ones.

Answer 1

Well, since the two share no territory it's even more hypothetical.

Grizzlies weigh about twice as much (1200 versus 600 lbs). A gorilla may be smarter and have incredibly limited abilities to use tools (we're talking things like small rocks and sticks at best), but once the grizzly has you, it's pretty much over. Even a gorilla's strength can't save it from the grizzly's jaws and weight.

Not only could a grizzly kill a gorilla, it's far more likely than the other way around. A gorilla would either avoid the fight or be killed, I would think.

Answer 2

My answer is that a gorilla will win because it is not just about power but it is about Brains and Brawn which the gorilla has.

Whereas grizzly is not dumb but it is not as intelligent and agile as a gorilla.
