    Default Strength of a silverback gorilla

    If you were ever a weight lifter, put this into perspective.


    This is the human record for a deadlift (After many years of training)

    I was looking for a bench press comparison, but apparently they cannot do that type of motion. So a deadlift is the only way to compare to a human.

    Well, I was thinking. Who would win in a fight? A gorilla or a bear? It's something worth examining, yes?

    A bear. Twice the size, claws, teeth. Bears eat meat, so can catch and kill.
    Now go ride!

    That is my thought. But a gorilla can maneuver better and grasp things. If he gets on the bears back, he could choke him or gouge the bears eyes..

    Might not be smart enough to do that.

    Perhaps, but gorrillas are smarter than bears.

    See, I found a pic of them fighting. It's totally like...happens and stuff! People can't put things on the Net that aren't true. So this is real

    Oh, I put this in the wrong forum. OK, let's seeeee. Alright, change the question.

    Who would win a race on the Ryker, a bear or a gorilla? I would put my money on the gorilla because he can turn faster.

    Didn't King Kong kill a T-Rex by stretching its jaws open until they broke? That has got to count for something
