silverback strength vs grizzly bear strength

#Silverback strength vs grizzly bear strength crack#

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. 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. The gorilla has the strongest arms and hands in the animal kingdom. You would almost have to imagine the gorilla not being able to do anything to the bear to hurt it. The Silverbacks 440 lbs of solid muscle and bone.

A Kodiak's claws are deadly to humans and very threatening but a Gorilla should be a tougher nut to crack than a human. Most of you think the bear wins simply because it's bigger and has claws. I never said they did: just confirming or denying your facts. 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. Kodiak bear is the same as the grizzly in bite force. That doesn't matter because you were already correct in saying it was larger and the Grizzly is larger.much less the Kodiak. and the Koala is a marsupial, not a primate. On claws I concede that some primates may have claws though Gorillas do not. 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. 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. 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. I believe the word you wanted was 'great apes'. In fact, many many primates have claws from the Koala bear to many small monkeys in South America. Gorilla's teeth are like humans and they do not have massive canines. Grizzly bite force: 'Their bite force can be up to 1200 ppsi' Teeth.a gorilla's teeth are just basically larger versions of human teeth, it does not have the exagerated canines, not the carnisalias of the bear, it also has far less jaw strength.Ĭlaws, the bears can be up to 5 inches long, the gorilla doesn't have claws, it has fingernails, as do all primates. Yes the gorilla is strong, compared to a human, it's nothing compared to a bear.įaster?-Ever seen videos of bears taking down a bison or an elk, I don't like the gorilla's chances here The bear can easily flip huge boulders and treetrunks. A chimp is way inferior to a silverback in strength and is considered five times as strong as a human. As for the fear element, fight or flight is the instinctive response to fear not cowering and waiting to be killed.Įdit: The chimp that tore that ladies face up was reportedly stabbed with a butcher knife and hit with a shovel to no effect. I just think that the gorillas strength might be enough to kill an unrelenting bear, but a bear is not a weak creature in the least.

A literal fight like this is undesirable but the hypothetical one is interesting. The gorilla skull might be tougher as it must survive gorilla strength blows to the head. The Romans used to pit bears against all different types of big cats from what I've read and the advantage was almost always held by the bear which could break the cats skull with a well placed strike. Picture a cage match and then decide who you think would win. Outside of Michael Vicks backyard or a circus train derailment, where would these animals ever come into conflict, much less direct interaction? Some of you guys are bringing an unreasonable logic to the question.
