Silverback Gorillas are one of the strongest and intimating animals on the planet. The large primates can lift over ten times their body weight and with the rare exception of a leopard, have no natural predators. They and are truly the king of their jungle. However, what would happen if this king of the jungle had to fight the other kings of the jungle, a male lion? What about a tiger? A grizzly bear?
We are going to look at these powerful animals and determine how a silverback gorilla would fair in a fight with each.
Gorilla Attributes
Silverback gorillas males stand on average 6 foot tall with the females topping out around 5 feet. Males can weigh between 300 and 450lbs with the smaller females ranging between 200 to 300 pounds. The male gorillas have broad, muscular shoulders and a crest, or ridge, that distinguishes them from the females. Gorillas can also bite with an incredible 1300 pounds per square inch, twice the force of a lion, which is enough to crush a human skull like a grape.
Male gorillas show an unbelievable amount of strength. Gorillas have been documented lifting over 1800 pounds and throw with a force of nearly 1000 pounds! Not only are they strong, but gorillas are also fast. Some gorillas have been recorded moving over 20 miles per hour.

In addition to the size, strength, and speed, gorillas are also very intelligent. In captivity, gorillas have been documented showing complex emotions, form family bonds, the ability to use tools, and recognize past and future. Some have been taught sign language and learned to communicate with the handlers. Gorillas have been shown to have an IQ range between 75 and 95 and possess the ability to understand 2000 English words. For comparison, the normal human IQ score is approximately 100.
Gorillas however do not hunt for food and lack that predatory instinct to kill and that might work against it in a battle with these natural hunters.
Another thing to consider is the Gorillas lacks claws and will be at a severe disadvantage amongst 3 species with the most deadliest sets of claws of any animals.
Gorilla vs Tiger
The first matchup will be the silverback gorilla vs a tiger.
Tigers are one of nature’s most feared predators and are known for the power and strength. An average male tiger weighs in at around 500 pounds and can reach up to 700 pounds. They average about 10 feet long and can run 30 to 40 miles per hour. They have strong powerful jaws that can unleash a bite force of 1050psi. They have 4 inch razor-sharp claws that routinely shred through buffalo, deer and wild boar. Tigers are natural born killing machines.
When it comes to a tiger and a gorilla in a fight it would be a short fight. Tigers are bigger, stronger, and faster than a gorilla. The gorilla would be able to put up a fight and could injure the tiger if he was able to get a bite in, but that would be his only offense. The gorilla’s thick neck would make it harder for the tiger to get his kill shot, but nonetheless, it would be an eventual tiger victory.
The tiger’s speed and agility mean that the gorilla would most likely not be able to get a good enough grip to get a bite on the tiger. With the tiger’s powerful and razor-sharp claws any attempt by the gorilla to grab it would be met with a fierce and deadly blow.
Winner: Tiger
Gorilla vs Grizzly Bear
Grizzly bears, also known as a North American brown bear, are large bears native to North American and currently inhabit areas in the Northwestern US, Alaska, and Canada. A male grizzly weighs in at 600 pounds and stands 7 feet tall. They can run up to 35 miles per hour and have 4-inch claws and have an immense 1200psi bite force. Grizzlies are excellent hunters and are no stranger to killing both to eat and to defend their young.
In a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly bear, the first thing to note is the size advantage of the grizzly. The bear would be at least double the size of the gorilla. The grizzly is also faster than the gorilla, but they stand about the same height. The bear would bite the neck as a kill shot, which would be hard to get to on a gorilla since they have a small neck that is well protected. However, the bear’s 4-inch claws would inflict severe damage to the gorilla in any close combat.
In the end, the fight would most likely go to the grizzly bear. With the advantage in speed, weight, brute strength and predatory aggression, the grizzly would be able to inflict severe and fatal damage to the gorilla.
Winner: Grizzly Bear
Gorilla vs Lion
A male lion weighs in at 420 pounds. They are approximately 8 feet long, run up to 50 miles per hour, have 1.5-inch claws and a 650psi bite force.
In a fight between a gorilla and a lion, they would be pretty equally matched. The biggest advantage would be the lion’s speed, however, it would not help him other than getting away from the gorilla. The lion would attempt to go for the neck. The neck of a gorilla is a small target that is well defended by their large muscular shoulders.
The gorilla would need to get a bite on the lion for it to be fatal. This would be very difficult with the lion’s speed and agility. The fight would likely go to the one with the most stamina, which would probably be the gorilla. The lion is certainly no slouch but just doesn’t have the size and strength advantage to overthrow the gorilla.
Winner: Gorilla
Gorillas are large and strong creatures that can hold their own in a fight. However, the power of the tiger and grizzly bear are just too much. The lion would surely put up a good fight but would eventually yield to the gorilla.
The good news is that none of the creatures would even have a reason to fight each other in the wild. They all serve as the kings of their own domains and rule basically unchallenged. However, if they all ended up in the ring together, my vote would be on the tiger.

So…
The tiger wins because of speed and the lion loses while being faster?
Also the lion wouldn’t immediately go for the neck but first disable the legs. It also does this while attacking a (weakened) elephant.
hes so stupid, a lion would shit on a tiger cus they fight like every 10 mins and tigers are made for sneak attacking, theirs only like a 20kg weight difference, tigers are like assassins if they land on the lion from a tree they could win but if its face on, well all the real vids I watched which was recorded (their all old grey vids since that’s when their wasn’t animal activists deleting every real vid) the lion won every single one, but to the actual thing, a gorilla would smash every one of these animals, a gorilla can lift more then a tonne, a gorilla would throw the tiger and lion up into the tree and smash the skull of the grizzly bear into the ground with ease, the gorilla is the strongest pound for pound animal in the world
Preach brother. This guy’s breakdown is hilariously un-thorough. Why does speed matter? Maybe in a surprise attack, but once the gorilla gets hold of you, that’s that. He doesn’t even consider the advantage of having four limbs w/ which you can grip, the ability to gouge eyes, or how the gorilla would rip off their opponent’s testicles. Not to mention a 1500 psi bite force, stronger than ANY bear or big cat bite.
Speed is always crucially important in fights. How do you even question that? Speed is usually the deciding factor when other factors are close. The first to strike successfully wins.
Also the gorilla has 1300 psi. Don’t falsify the difference.
Tiger would tiger it to the ground and tear out its throat.
Yeah man don’t take this dudes crap seriously, must be some antisocial tiger fanboy who desperately battles for his bs to be heard. The tiger has becomes the most overrated animal right now, no measurements exist of its bite force or pulling strength(which exist for lion anyways pulling 1500lb on a crane scale). And the biteforce measurement of 600ish was on a subadult lion lol. But guess what the media that this tiger fans use pushes this agenda that somehow a tiger with 90+ % anatomy of a lion has a 400lb biteforce difference. No biteforce measurements exists for a full grown lion on camera and neither for a tiger. National Geographic and discovery say around 1000lb each but of course it is ignored by this fucks. Some of this dudes need a slap to knock some since into them. This dude is the same that thinks a tiger could win with a polar bear. That’s why I think journalism is the worst profession that exists. Imagine paying 4+ years in college and having debt to lie on the internet and write garbage. very sad indeed.
Seems like more people overrating the gorilla.
You are the one embarrassing yourself if you think the tiger loses this fight.
As for bite force, you know what blows them all out of the water? The jaguar. It’s also large enough to give the gorilla a run. Now that one is more of a toss up.
Fools, a Wolverine would take all of these animals easily. Gorillas, bears, tigers, and lions don’t stand a chance against the marvellous mustelid.
How about a polar bear?
A Male Tiger destroys a male Lion everytime. Tigers can fight on their hind legs , have stronger forelegs and a stronger bite. Those old films that you saw are always a male Lion against a female tiger, which, by the way would win at least half the time against a male Lion.
What made up nonsense are you spewing?
A tiger would destroy a lion.
Your understanding of gorillas and strength seem to be drawn from fanfic. Tigers got a lot of size on gorillas, and gorillas aren’t supernatural. Get your head out of your ass.
Bruh a leopard can beat a gorilla, so a grizzly, lion, and tiger can all kill a gorilla with ease, and a tiger can kill a lion and a bear any day, with bigger claws and teeth, and better hunting skills, no problem
Forget about size. Don’t be naive. A lion would take down a tiger 7-8 out of 10. it’s well known. It’s a mma warrior against an assassin. Much respect for big cats and their attributes no matter what the species, but Lions are much-much tougher. Do the research
Theyve actually had tigers fighting lions do your research, tigers kill lions easily
I am about do some googling, I don’t know who to believe.
Dude, a tiger is known to crush a buffalo skull in 1 hit and kill instantly. Tiger have also been known to hunt rhino and even elephant! Bigger and stronger than Gorilla and even Tiger, so Tiger wins!
I think you’re thinking of a Grizzly. They’re the animals that can do that. BTW a Grizzly could kill a lion, tiger or gorilla.
The gorilla wouldn’t stand a snowball chance in hades against any of the above mentioned animals nor could one beat a Jaguar. Gorillas hardly ever fight. They bluff and try to intimidate but little more. Work at the Houston Zoo for a few years and get to know the animals your talking about. Let a lion or tiger walk by the glass of the gorilla cage and watch the gorilla head for high ground, they don’t do anything but run. Study to show yourself approved. That way you don’t appear to be a moron to those who really know.
Wrong.. I’ve studied behaviors, strengths, weakness and the rest of the important aspects when it comes to animal fights for over 20 years. Leopards are smaller than lions and have being known to kill silverbacks. Believe me, Lions would not have any problems with mauling a gorilla. Remember that lions are used to protect their territorium every day, and are breathing fighting machines. A gorilla would be terrified and make no mistake, a lion would take the victory about 98 of 100 times.
The lion loses because its his running speed that is fast, not his agility on dodging attacks like the tiger.
Fuck u retarded lion hater. U a bitch ass hide online
you must be a nigger..because you sound like youre stupid as one
Show your face
That’s not nice
tiger will win against a gorrila
Awww were yout triggered by their username? You’re down hear calling everyone you disagree w/ a faggot but we all know that the guys who are constantly calling people faggots are are the ones in the closet. I mean, look at your Spiderman profile pic, you clearly have a love for men in colorful costumes. What’s gayer than that? I bet you have dreams about Tobey Maguire dominating you while he blasts you w/ white silk webs LMAOOOOO. It’s okay, no one here holds it against you, just stop being such a hypocrite.
Also, I’m black. So if your reply doesn’t have at least three “nigger”s in it, I’ll be thoroughly disappointed.
P.S. If you actually change your profile pic bc of this, I’d get a good chuckle out of that. If you don’t, well, everyone gets to keep enjoying the joke.
Hey yo nigga…you are being nasty yo… Me your BIG BLACK BROTHER another nigga too with a mellow attitude. Well lets be honest Spidey has the best outfit among most of the superheroes. With the latest one c/w metal spider claws that is too awesome. I know I know many of the haters are just too jealous and start calling names & tagging Spidey’s fan. Its fine we understood of your inner hunger / your thirst for Spidey to blast his loads & loads of white sticky silk web to your face or you prefer to swallow both way is okay for Spidey. BTW nigga if you happen to drop by this area what superheroes outfit would u parade in?
hey bro im a nigga too and I hate my self I want to kill all black people and then kill myself. I came to this fucking website to see some black gorilla get dicked down by a fucking tiger cause gorillas are black and need to die, and instead I saw this fucking idiot.
Remove the Spider-Man picture first you little fagget. I bet you will let a tiger f u in the assss if you could.
Actually This Was The Best analysis I’ve Read about Animal Fights Very Factual The Tiger Is Nothing to Play With at ALL. I seen 1 Crocodile fight Off Several Lions including The Male & Get away But a Very Large Huge Crocodile was Easily Beat By 1 Tiger a Tiger Hunts on Its Own
Ha Ha.
Cant be a nigger cos they can’t read or right..!!
All they do is the three R,s
RAPE RUN and ROB!!!!

RAPE RUN and ROB!!!!
hey there micky! first of all may i ask you if you are a mick? you obviously must be some type of caucasian thats racist with that dirty ass foul mouth of yours using the ‘n’ word like that so freely and yes i see the hypocrisy in what i just said since i called your foul mouth a dirty ass with your dirty ass you dirty ass but you know what ima say screw it because at least i know it and will be real about it. second of all, despite the fact that your dirty ass may know how to spell, you used the wrong word when you said n****** can’t read or right. the word i’m talking about is write (from this point on my clean ass will now transform into a dirty ass because my foul mouth is being brought into this comment now) which is what your retarded hillbilly dumb ass should of used but now it’s too late because you already look more illiterate, ignorant, irrelevant and most of all illegitimate than any black folk i have ever met just by that one mistake especially knowing the fact that any african american i have ever associated myself with are at least smart enough to realize which words and grammar their supposed to use to keep from looking like a brain dead inbred cousin fucker like your bitch ass looks now at least in my eyes you fucking dick sucking, anti tit fucking, wrist cutting, horse bucking, adult ducking, dick and ball tucking to make yourself look like buffalo bill, throwing racial terms with that dirty ass mouth of yours from all the dicks of the KKK you probably look forward to gobbling up every second of every day of your pathetic close minded ass life of yours you don’t deserve knowing how many yucks or laughs you get out of using the ‘nigger’ word i will type out one time but only because im sticking up to your hateful, and do not ever forget dirty, ass so with all that being said or typed out in this case i will end this comment with one more question.
how many times do you know about of people you love and care about in your pathetic ass excuse for a life getting or that got raped, robbed and then ran off on them? i guarantee your stupid ass will probably think to themselves: 0 and regardless i know you are going to reply lying with your sorry ass with some ridiculous high number just to try to make me look bad along with all black people and have others feel sorry for you but regardless i do not care because i made my point so on that note, i hope everyone else has a good day and in my opinion: gorilla would dominate in battle vs. bear and lions and tigers would kill a gorilla first. 🦍 🐅 🦁 peace out and keep it real people!!!
Sincerely,
Someone who happens to be fucking Micky’s fat slut of a mother to death 💀 giggety giggety
Bro you’re absolutely disgusting. I’ve got to ask were you one of the ones who invaded our capital you POS! Drink bleach please
that is good even though in all honesty a male tiger would kill any male lion.
Tf u smoking on Tigers don’t fight bigger animals.. Tigers are only hunti g small animals while lions fight everyday to survive..
hahah funny. Lions sleep 20 hours a day. Then walk around for 3 hours. Then eat for an hour. Fighting everyday is more like once a month
Jeroen van Leeuwen sa U are faggot tiger fans.
you stupid faggot, you wear boxers with dickholes in the back
you can’t type
Maybe you have never seen an actual fight between a tiger and a lion. Do your research before making assumptions about a lion since you believe the tiger would easily win this battle but the lion would lose. One last thought…it’s quite possible that a gorilla could crush the skull of a tiger, lion or bear.
These hypotheticals are so freaking ridiculous but let’s be realistic. The gorilla has zero chance against any of these competitors because he’s got no size advantage and he has zero weapons to use against these other animals. Not only that but gorillas are not fighters or killers. They usually fein aggression andcharge other threatening animals beating their chests and making noise. All these other animals are experienced killers. Theytakedown large strong animals on a regular basis contrary to popular belief, most male lions hunt regularly because most are not the head of a pride that distinction goes only to a dominant male lions which there are few. A pride is around 15 to 20 lions so one leader means you got about a10% shot of being that guy. Most male lions are banished from prides once they are sexually mature and have to hunt and fend for themselves until they can defeat a pride leader who is usually older lying on his way out. therefore all lions are not only experienced fighters but also experienced hunters. Tigers are too damn big for gorillas. Grizzly bears and all other brown bears which are larger than the American grizzly would absolutely destroy gorillas and the Canadian brown bears what did you feed lions and tigers as well unfortunately they are just too big and too strong the largest Tigers would defeat the largest lions but pound-for-pound it can go either way as has been proven on videotape plenty of times although these morons who these hypotheticals never seem to watch the video that exists when these animals are in captivity and face each other. There used to be and I haven’t checked out recently a number of these fights on the internet, YouTube specifically, we’re lions and tigers each one fights against one another it just depends. Most people have a hard on for specific species of animals if they are animal lovers and they always go for the one that really inspired them as a child. that makes them totally unrealistic. I assume the gorilla is your favorite animal followed by the lion. How do I know that because of this extreme ridiculous bias
Ummm no. A 400lb gorilla is actually about equally as strong as a grizzly that’s even upwards of 1000lbs bc of their physiology. But lets say the bear is stronger. Let’s say it’s the largest recorded bear and weighs 1700lbs, it would still be no easy fight. Gorillas are gentle creatures, but why the do fight, it’s extremely nasty. Its superior mobility and having four limbs w/ which it can grip is too much of an advantage. If it took the bears back, the bear is done. Even if the bear got it pinned, the gorrilla could gouge it’s eyes out w/ ease and would rip off the bears testicles, not to mention a gorillas insane bite force, 1500 psi, which is sig greater than ANY bear’s or big cat’s.
A tiger wouldn’t even stand a chance against an adult male. Leopards do occasionally hunt gorillas, but they go after females and non-mature gorillas, and they only do it at night when they can surprise them, and even then they have to get a perfect bite. It could literally rip off the cat’s limbs and crush its skull w/ its bite.
Now a large croc…a large croc could take out a large gorilla.
You read a couple articles and came up with all nonsense. Fucking idiot
Lmfao
Gorillas aren´t as strong as lions, tigers and especially not as strong as bears. Grizzlies are way bigger and stronger than any of these other animals. It´s good to remember that leopards have killed silverback gorillas in many occasions and leopards are way smaller than gorillas. Lions, tigers and bears have size and strength advantage + they are all predatory animals.
Gorilla has no chance against any of these “big league killers”.
Gorillas would DRAGGGG any animal on this list. It just has a better physiology for a had up fight. Felines and bears are builtto run down prey, Gorilllas are built like tanks and only ever fight one another for dominance. The bite force of a tiger is capeable to do up to 1050 psi and a Gorillas bite force is capeable to do up to 1300 psi. Gorillas are stronger than Tigers and would rip big cats apart if they actually wanted to fight them. Forget internet nerds and little kids, lets see what actual wild life experts say about Goillas vs Big Cats…link below
https://www.earthlifeexpeditions.com/gorilla-vs-lion/
Your own source refutes your claims.
Tiger would destroy the gorilla.
Spot on analysis. The gorilla is not weaponized for combat like the big cats. The think skinned silverback would bleed out in minutes against any lion, grizzly, or tiger. Gorillas are pathetically slow compared to the Big felines.
It would be a slaughter…
Hey yo nigga…you are being nasty yo… Me your BIG BLACK BROTHER another nigga too with a mellow attitude. Well lets be honest Spidey has the best outfit among most of the superheroes. With the latest one c/w metal spider claws that is too awesome. I know I know many of the haters are just too jealous and start calling names & tagging Spidey’s fan. Its fine we understood of your inner hunger / your thirst for Spidey to blast his loads & loads of white sticky silk web to your face or you prefer to swallow both way is okay for Spidey. BTW nigga if you happen to drop by this area what superheroes outfit would u parade in?
Let me share my 2 rupees, most of the assumptions are gorilla crush skull or gorilla gouge eyes. In my village far far away somewhere in Africa our male gorillas usually jump out from no where grapple, grab & lock the four limbs of their opponent from the behind while their saliva dripping from their mouth due to over excited to finish off their opponent with shadow cock blast & thrust. This unknown skill was acquired through divinity and originated from some planet of the apes somewhere too far away in the galaxy of the next universe according to the gorilla’s elder. Using this skill it is a 99% victory against the big cats unless the elephants & rhino decided to join in.
If you wanna play that way a tiger is even stronger than a gorilla. With a paw swipe claimed to generate 10,000 pounds if you wanna play that way. Even if the claims of the gorilla lifting up to 4,000 pounds is true. If you wanna use numbers. And just saying to everyone who really believes a male adult lion can bite with a force of 650 psi it can actually bite up to around 900 psi.
Hahahahaha you’re crazy a gorilla would fuck a tiger up so badly. Dude gorilla is WAY stronger than a tiger are you dumb? He could break the tigers leg like it’s nothing
Lions are stronger than gorillas, so are tigers. Bears are then again stronger than any of these others. Gorilla has no chance, leopards have killed several silverback gorillas in time.
that is true
Lol way to show yourself as the clueless idiot.
Tiger is bigger and stronger. The speed is also a major factor. And no, cats are some of the most durable creatures on the planet. Tiger would destroy a gorilla and have its throat ripped out.
A tiger is a WAY more fearsome creature. Are you dumb?
You need facts not some opinions biased about King Kong
I think ALL u idiots r just that!!! No!
REAL idiots…a tiger AND a bear wud
whip a silverback…just becuz YOU. identify w/a gorilla…(lookin @ urself in the mirror?) Ur NOT so much…not w/being an idiot & beyond…
A ridiculous account!
A Tiger has 4 inch claws but a Lion has 1.5 inch claws?! Where do you get this data?
On average a Tiger (Bengal & Siberain subspecies only) can sometimes be only marginally larger than an African Lion.
It all depends on the individual. I have seen Male Lions far bigger than many Male Bengal Tigers. I have seen Male Bengal Tigers far bigger than many Male African Lions.
Just as with humans, some individual are far taller, muscular or heavier than others.
Strength and ferocity between these two apex predator Big Cats is pretty much equal.
Having also read a number of research papers comparing size and morphology of the different big cat species, they all point that on average, Lions and Tigers are of equal size.
damn, another fucking lying retard nigger…STFU queerbait
Can you please use non retarded units
The Lion is the King all powerful enough said.
Lots of problems with this article. A tiger weighs 500 lbs? A Siberian (Amur) Tiger, yeah; Bengal males are closer to 400. Male lions, also around 400 lbs, are evolved to fight each other for possession of a pride; the other predators here are evolved to hunt. Dragging down a large animal is similar to fighting, but not quite the same. Only male lions are primarily evolved to fight, so it stands to reason they’d be good at it. (The manes are protective in battle.) Apocryphally perhaps, a Rajah in previous times put a lion and a tiger in a pit to see who’d win. The lion won. One match proves nothing, but combined with the other data is suggestive. That being said, I think the Grizzly would probably kill any of them. Also the gorilla is not a predator. Its lack of claws would be definitive.
Largest recorded tiger is a bengal tiger that was 388 kg. Kaziranga tigers are the largest siberians dont reach that size in the wild. Both are upwards of 325 to 350 kg . Largest lions are around 250 very impressive but there is a difference. A gorilla at around 200 kg max has zero chance against these. Gorilla has little chance against a 100 kg leopard to start with.
It’s too bad that his comment section has devolved into this. But to offer a critique of this article. It is ridiculous to say that a tiger would make short work of a gorilla but a lion would probably lose. There is really not that much difference between Lions and tigers. Tigers are slightly larger but lions being social cats fight more. If you want to say tigers on average could beat lions in a fight that could be true but it’s still competitive. Gorillas on the other hand are not fighters. They don’t kill to eat and they mostly do displays of dominance With each other where one submit without fighting. They are no match Either a lion or a tiger.
Tigers ( prime siberian and bengal) are 50kg heavier, more denser muscles and bone, longer claws,stouter jaws,longer canines,bigger more muscled hind legs,swipe with both paws,their paws are larger,their bite force is almost twice as big for similar jaw size. Tigers have documentary evidence of killing the largest sub species of crocodile and largest bovine ( gaur), rhinos and elephant. Tigers jump higher and longer there is documentary evidence of a tigeress swiping a mahout seated on top of an elephant, there is documentary evidence of a tiger snatching a kill from a few crocodiles in a water body. Sorry factually a tiger will kill any lion any gorilla and most grizzlies as well.
Ok for me I think The Gorilla would win both fights aganist the Lion and Tiger just because in real life a Lion would kill a Tiger due to males fighting others during their lifetime. The only animal i see whooping the Gorrila here is the Bear. Its just the facts here guys.
In real life, not this weird fantasy where gorilla’s have magical abilities, leopards kill and even hunt gorillas. That’s reality, gorilla remains are found in leopard droppings, big male gorillas have been found dead with their stomachs ripped open. One instance, a leopard killed two adult male gorillas.
Leopards – much smaller than lions and tigers. They slash the gorilla with their claws and the gorilla bleeds to death.
There’s a nice Quora answer here which presents a lot of the evidence that leopards do indeed hunt gorillas:
https://www.quora.com/How-do-leopards-hunt-gorillas#:~:text=Between%20the%20years%201960%20and,juvenile%20gorilla%20was%20also%20found.
Wow didn’t you know most of quora’s content is misrep & misleading. Still many ppl believe what was written there.
Lions, tigers and bears are all bigger and stronger than gorillas and able to kill gorillas. Even leopards have killed many silverback gorillas.
Lions and tigers and bears………………..oh my!!!!
Your incorrect opinion actually.
Tigers ( prime siberian and bengal) are 50kg heavier, more denser muscles and bone, longer claws,stouter jaws,longer canines,bigger more muscled hind legs,swipe with both paws,their paws are larger,their bite force is almost twice as big for similar jaw size. Tigers have documentary evidence of killing the largest sub species of crocodile and largest bovine ( gaur), rhinos and elephant. Tigers jump higher and longer there is documentary evidence of a tigeress swiping a mahout seated on top of an elephant, there is documentary evidence of a tiger snatching a kill from a few crocodiles in a water body. Sorry factually a tiger will kill any lion any gorilla and most grizzlies as well
Nicolu – You are a disgusting racist pig.
Thank you for finally saying it. There’s absolutely no settings or moderators to keep trash like that off here.
Gorilla looses to tiger, but wins against lion?
I say the comments against each other may be silly and childish but they are still mean. I imagine that if all of you who spout this hatefulness are lions, tigers, gorillas and bears, there is a good hearted rat who could put you all in your place. Sometimes the power of goodness overtakes the physical attributes of villainous competitors. Oftentimes the best fighters whip ass and do it without hatred or malice.
Hey
We Are lion vs tiger protesters .
Lions rule!
(Tigers suck…)
gorrila can only lift 50 pounds they are teethless
Tigers can kill lion with ease, even a sick dying female baby tiger😂😂
tigers rule lions die like little cats
You are
stupid
dumb
hell
idiotic
pig
Me kill,
me pluck,
those bones,
from your bum,
you die,
I have fun,
A dream,
come true,
for me,
not for you!
-Tiger haters, Lion lovers
They all live in different habitats so it might not be the best idea 💡.
I agree
But I still like it
Wow some of these comments are out there! Ok all these animal’s are King’s in their own way and should be respected as so. Now that’s been said let’s use facts and our brain’s children. Roman used to pin lions and tiger’s against each other all the time in their Coliseum. Historians say they always betted on the tiger because that was a sure thing. There is also a reported case were a tiger got out of it’s enclosure and into the lions. While killing a lion with one swipe. Google it if you don’t believe me. Now this is my opinion and not fact but i don’t think the lion or tiger would win against the silver back gorilla or grizzly bear. This why i come to this conclusion. First bears are kinda like tiger/lions just not as agile but they make up the difference with size and strength. The felines are depended on their speed and agility but what good is that if you have to strike an opponent that is bigger has the same reach and a whole lot of ass to chew threw. Big cat attacks gets brushed off. Then held down and mauled to death. Ok gorilla vs felines, big cat’s loose. Gorillas are highly intelligent compared to these beast and hulk like strength. Unless big cats can some how hit a main artery they ain’t making it far. Same thing with the bear neck is way to thick. Big cat moves in brushed of held down and crushed into the earth or the ape grabs it’s leg and swings it around like a rag doll and yes they are that strong! Now bear vs gorilla? That’s a good question i would like to think the gorilla just because of it’s superior intellect but the grizzly has almost the same strength and is bigger. They say that a gorilla can crush a man skull with just a squeeze of it’s hand but a bear will take a mans clean off with one swipe. I’m inconclusive on this bout. Would like to hear somebody else thoughts on this, other then insults
Leopards kill silver backs. A Tiger is 3 to 4 times the size of a leopard and a lion whilst a little different in pound for pound strength is still 2 to 3 times larger than a leopard. A gorilla does not stand any chance against a tiger or a lion male or female or even sub prime juvenile adult. No chance. Grizly bears salt water crocs stand a minimal chance against full male tiger on land.
I agree with most of what you said. I agree the gorilla is far superior in intelligence and would in all cases, in my opinion, because of that. Gorillas don’t hunt for nor kill(in most cases) to eat. That being said with the amazing strength, bit force, & intelligence they win 9X out of 10. With an average IQ 75-90. Guess what that is exceptional in the wild. Intelligence tells you that somethings hurt. So you don’t do that. Grizzly, tiger, lion while powerful and agile still fall drastically short of the gorilla. I’m a tiger fan all day long everyday. And let’s not forget your comment about brute strength. Throwing 1,000lbs, lifting 1,800-2,000lbs. Four hands 1,300psi bite force. Let’s not forget pride. One hit to the head as they charge and a side step by the gorilla. Game over. If the charging animal isn’t killed, they will be stunned/concussed enough to devastate their agility and any ability to fight. Remember your history. Size is never an indication of ability or prowess. We as humans know the importance of intelligence. It’s why we send children to school for the length we do.
U all are saying nonsences
Lions are used to express power and majesty why is that so??
All your are saying doesn’t make sense
To the aspect Lions are larger than tigers except siberian indeed the same with African lions in length but not in height.
gorillas can fricking punch are u thick they cant just bite
Gorillas cannot punch. They can strike, but not punch. They cannot make a fist.
And they are not effective at fighting leopards. Leopards hunt gorillas, Including adult male silverbacks. Even if the gorilla fights off the leopard, it is a desperate fight. It dies not rip the leopard to pieces with its mythical strength. Nor dies it urbanise punches or headlocks or any other complete fantasy..
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2138714-chimps-are-not-as-superhumanly-strong-as-we-thought-they-were/
Primarily about chimps, but mentions the findings are inline with other apes.
Morons. Leopards (150lbs) are well documented as hunting and killing gorillas, including silverback adults. All that nonsense about gorillas supernatural strength is a myth, based on a debunked study of chimpanzees in the 1920s. There are no scientific studies saying gorillas can lift a 1000kg etc.
They can’t throw tigers into trees or crack a grizzly’s skull. They are lucky if they can fight off a leopard.
Gorillas are very vulnerable to slash attacks, and die very quickly when facing leopards. Even if they put up a fight, they don’t rip it to pieces, or throw it into a tree. Because they cannot.
Leopards hunt and kill gorillas.
Leopards are much smaller than Tigers and Lions, half the size.
Do you still think a gorilla stands a chance against a Lion?
the gorilla holds 10 minutes against the tiger, 5 minutes against the lion and 1 minute against the bear
That kind of estimations are based on nothing. All of those animals kill a gorilla, but putting some time windows isn´t realistic.
Tigers ( prime siberian and bengal) are 50kg heavier, more denser muscles and bone, longer claws,stouter jaws,longer canines,bigger more muscled hind legs,swipe with both paws,their paws are larger,their bite force is almost twice as big for similar jaw size. Tigers have documentary evidence of killing the largest sub species of crocodile and largest bovine ( gaur), rhinos and elephant. Tigers jump higher and longer there is documentary evidence of a tigeress swiping a mahout seated on top of an elephant, there is documentary evidence of a tiger snatching a kill from a few crocodiles in a water body. Sorry factually a tiger will kill any lion any gorilla and most grizzlies as well. A lion would not stand a chance against tiger.
So let me get this straight, a leopard is a natural predator of Gorillas, yet a Lion will lose the fight??? That’s stupid. Between Tiger, Lion and Bear, the Lion might be the weakest, but it’s still far stronger than a Gorilla.
leopard isn’t natural predator of gorillas, it’s just Tarzan cartoon.
Real life a silver back can stomp a leopard easy. But yeah, lion is far stronger than a Gorilla, a lion is atleast x 1,5 a gorilla size
Leopards are natural predators of gorillas and there are several cases in which a leopard has killed silverback gorillas. Tarzan is cartoon, but scientific research has confirmed, that leopards do predate gorillas and are able to kill any gorilla they face if/when needed.
You are retarded, a gorilla beats all of them
no you dumbass, gorilla lose all of them
For those retards think tiger can’t handle gorilla
a tiger is almost twice size of a full grown gorilla dumbass

👍👍
Lions can kill gorillas too. This article is pretty ignorant what comes to facts. Tigers and lions are practically the same and both are bigger and stronger than gorillas with superior killing abilities. Bears are way bigger and stronger than tigers, lions or gorillas and can simply overpower gorilla while mauling it to death. Leopards, which average around 70 kg for males have killed many times silverback gorillas too, scientifically accepted reliable observations with proof.
Some corrections, tigers and lions have approximately same bite force. That 650 psi for lion is nonsense based on nonsense information. Also claws of tigers and lions are approximately same, both have those “hook” claws, so tigers don´t have 4 inch claws against 1,5 inch for lions. Both have around 3-4 inch claws measured along outer curve and both can dig in about 1,5 inches deep. Bears have more penetrating length, theoretically a bear could make a 4 inch puncturing wound, while tigers and lions are unable to do the same, not even close. This article has so much misinformation, that it´s ridiculous really. Someone knowing nothing about these animals has written it.
I love the fact that an analysis of a hypothetical fight between gorillas, lions, tigers, and bears has everyone so triggered.
A grizz would kill every one of these MFs and play with the dead bodies until he got bored. He might even try to fuck the gorilla. The bear is built like a tank and when not digging trees and tasty roots up, uses that giant front paw like a battering ram and would break a lion or tiger’s neck in one swat.
You have to have Autism😂, tigers and bears have equally strong paw swipe force, but a tiger has a stronger bite force, and they get up to 12 ft tall while grizzlies only at like 7 ft. Tiger wins end of story.
Siberian tigers predate on brown bears and bengals predate on black and himalayas brown bears. Its just factual from documentary evidence it could go either way but tigers do solitary kills. Bears have better bite force and stouter but lack musculature retractable claws agility and hunting instinct.
How about a fight between a gorilla and an amoeba? The gorilla is stronger, but if he rips the legs off the amoeba, the amoeba just splits into two or three more amoebas. Then, it slithers up the gorilla’s nose and eats its brain until it dies. Winner: amoeba!
Lion is the king, Seeing lions on a safari Tanzania is a life time experience and quite thrilling. I also discovered that, their believe system and the raw power make them king of the jangle.
SILVERBACK IS THE 1ST TO BE DESTROYED. THEN THE TIGER. THEN THE LION. BEAR SURVIVES.
In a fight all that matters is who has the largest courage.
Tigers lions are shitters up against animals that can fight back.
Bear gets tired quicker because if size.
I say the Gorilla has all body and size to be champion, but all depends on the gorilla on the night of the fight.
All these animals have dangerous assets who is quick and got courage wins on the night.
I say gorillas are packed for the fight the body mass muscles are uncomfortable..
Didnyoubsee Tyson vs flabby Holmes??
Tigers ( prime siberian and bengal) are -50kg heavier than lions on avg in wild and 100 kg in captivity, more denser muscles and bone, longer claws,stouter jaws,longer canines,bigger more muscled hind legs,swipe with both paws,their paws are larger,their bite force is almost twice as big for similar jaw size. Tigers have documentary evidence of killing the largest sub species of crocodile and largest bovine ( gaur), rhinos and elephant.

Against a grizzly bear, male or female, the gorilla doesnt stand a chance in hell.
Against a MALE lion or tiger, the gorilla stand very little chance.
Against a lioness or tigress, the gorilla stand a small chance
Against a male leopard, its 50/50. Gorilla will outpower it but to what cost?

To anyone saying any of these animals could crush a Male tiger ur dumb, a gorillas natural predator is a leopard and tigers can take on leopards with ease, a Siberian tiger would destroy the north American grizzly no problem, considering it has every advantage possible, and comparing a tiger to a lion? Seriously? Lion cant do sh*t to a tiger😂
What idiots a grizzly bear can break a bulls neck with one swipe has never ending endurance and will kill you before you can kill it with any handgun plus they have a killer attitude even small black bears can easily hold there own with a tiger or lion and a gorilla would be knocked 20 ft on the first swipe
no a tiger would obviously beat the loin I know I’m late but I am not wrong and get
your spelling together. from: mysterious
Gorillas are intelligent beings to take on a tiger by themselves would be unlikely as the whole troop would fight as one, most cats are cowards if an animal stands up to one, the cat will most likely back down but not always,,remember the umbrella trick against a charging lion, but let’s say it’s uno upon uno then the gorilla would attempt to disable its assailant by breaking the limbs of the tiger or lion which or could do easily ,thereby disabling the cat’s main weapon its speed, so then the gorilla could go about its business,
gorilla’s would bust any things out there DECLAN
You so funny
Okay I agree Tiger is the top of the pack because it’s a bred killer and uses its attributes to kill even though I believe a gorrilla has the attributes to kill it. But the gorrilla is mainly a herbivore that rarely ever kills. Even though aggressive, they avoid confrontation and battles to the death. Hypothetical, if people were “avataring” a gorrilla and a tiger body and knew they were fighting to the death, the gorrilla would destroy the tiger. Being much physically stronger, a similar if not superior bite force and the greatest attribute “opposable thumbs to grab” But like I said the tiger is like a trained MMA fighter against the body builder who never trained to fight in his life
What a load of rubbish, since when did leopards predate on gorillas ha, ha. If you got a silver back angry I don’t think anything could take him down, they rip limbs off, their power is immense. As for the lion vs tiger debate where they cross paths in the wild the lion drives the tiger out, for example in India with the Asiatic lion. Male lions tend to be more aggressive because they regularly fight amongst themselves for mating rights. Tigers are solitary and will only fight if they have to. Lions also take down bigger prey including giraffe. Tigers go for smaller prey similar to leopards although they will tackle water buffalo.
You are right a tiger would not stand a chance against a lion although a battle between this two beast will be very tough ,most likely lions are going to win because they have much greater stamina in battle than tigers ,tigers only outweigh lions with just 10-20kg which is not an advantage over a lion
don’t be stupid man how even imagine a gorilla would win a lion,OK first of all a lions bite force is 650psi the lion tested was just a subadult,and even still it was not biting with it’s maximum strength even national NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WILD states that lions and tigers have around 1000psi of bite force, when full grown,thus given the strength,agility,speed,weaponry and sheer killer instinct of a lion,the gorilla stand no chance I mean not even snow ball of chance against a lion , keep in mind that lions are experience and very good fighters
loooooooooooool
a small female bear wins vs a male tiger see:

so the male grizzly smashes them all
