Damn I was just thinking, didnt they do this in Roman Times? Beast vs Beast and throw in some humans for the hell of it.

I'm sure in the history of the world they have battled....

lion since it is way to fast for a gorilla and a gorilla is nothing like a chimp a chimp is 100% muscle and a gorilla is not also gorillas live very slow paced lives and generally move "quickly" during confrontations between males. I know this since my degree and soon to be masters degree is in biological anthropology with an emphasis in living primates, IE not the discovery channel

A Gorilla would not have any protection from the lion getting on its back and even though the gorilla can reach backwards I highly doubt its going do a tricep extension of a 500lb lion with crawls dug in.

No doubt - and, if you have ever held a cat that did not want to be held... Well, lions are pretty bad ***. One swipe with a huge clawed paw and it's hurt time. Lion could easily hold down and munch on a big critter... I dunno. Gorillas are cool and all, but the lion would win.

I think that if it was an even fight, no ambush, height advantage, etc., the gorilla would win. The lion would get a few good hits on the gorilla, but in the end the gorilla is smarter and more powerful.

I would bet on the Lion. They aren't dumb, they kill large animals to eat.. they are built for taking down beasts the size of gorillas. A gorilla is in no way evolved to take down lions and eat them..

How about the biggest baddest great white shark vs biggest baddest grizzly bear, 2 feet of still water?

Shark would be screwed. It wouldn't be able to move in 2ft of water. Have you seen a great white? They're huge.

Wierd. Gorilla came up on top the first 3 times I did it, then lion every time after that.
