In fact, many many primates have claws from the Koala bear to many small monkeys in South America. I believe the word you wanted was "great apes". I do watch a LOT of shows on this subject (not the fight, but animal stats) Well, I wish I had time to run down my facts online but I don't, my info comes mostly from over 20 years of watching nature shows on Discovery, Natgeo, PBS, etc. The thread was Kodiak (or Alaskan Brown), not a Grizzly, there's a difference, and Kodiaks can reach 1500 lbs.or more.Īnimal Face Off on Discovery measured a Kamchacktan Brown Bear, which is slightly smaller than a Kodiak, bite force at 1800 lbs PSI. Ok, Gorillas do have large canines but those pictures are deceptive, the bears head is 3-4 times the size thus it's canines would be much larger.Īs I've previously noted also, Gorillas do not fight with their teeth (though chimpanzees do), they use their fists. On claws I concede that some primates may have claws though Gorillas do not. That doesn't matter because you were already correct in saying it was larger and the Grizzly is larger.much less the Kodiak.Īnd the Koala is a marsupial, not a primate. Kodiak bear is the same as the grizzly in bite force. You're still wrong.Īnd the head doesn't matter, it's the mouth.Īnd the teeth are between 1-2 inches longer, not even double in length. I never said they did: just confirming or denying your facts. Most of you think the bear wins simply because it's bigger and has claws.
#SILVERBACK STRENGTH VS GRIZZLY CRACK#
#Bear vs silverback strength crack#Ī Kodiak's claws are deadly to humans and very threatening but a Gorilla should be a tougher nut to crack than a human. The Silverbacks 440 lbs of solid muscle and bone. You would almost have to imagine the gorilla not being able to do anything to the bear to hurt it. The gorilla has the strongest arms and hands in the animal kingdom. Shouldn't that make ripping the jaws of an attacking kodiak apart something that it could and would likely do? There used to be a show called "Animal Face-Off," where two animals would be pitted against each other, their chances "scientifically" evaluated by experts, experts in each animal, in biomechanical engineering, and in computer simulation. After 55 minutes of hearing and watching these experts do their thing, the last 5 minutes featured cgi animals, based on supposedly real data, facing-off. IIRC, the animal with the substantially superior mass (and therefore strength, as it takes muscle power to move all that mass), won. The bear has about 3x the gorilla's mass it's strength overall has to be proportional.
Unless a silverback pulls Kong-style takedowns (which, naturally, I really don't think gorillas are prone to do), Ursus arctos middendorffi, IMHO, wins.
