A bear's claws are much more effective in a fight than a Gorilla's fists. Males, at a mean weight of 195 kg (430 lb) upright standing height of 168 cm (66 in) usually weigh twice as much as the females, at a mean of 100 kg (220 lb) and a height of 140 cm (55 in). This subspecies is smaller than the eastern lowland gorilla, the other subspecies of eastern gorilla. But the fact Bears are 'loose skinned' and apes are not, means it's going to be much easier for the bear to hurt the Gorilla. beringei) has only about 700 individuals. The fur of the mountain gorilla, often thicker and longer than that of other gorilla species, enables them to live in colder temperatures. Gorillas can be identified by nose prints unique to each individual. graueri) is the most populous, at about 5,000 individuals. At present, the species is subdivided into two subspecies. The eastern gorilla ( Gorilla beringei) is a species of the genus Gorilla and the largest living primate. Mountain Gorilla - Gorilla beringei beringei Pelage is almost always black with a tan muzzle. Eastern American Black Bears: Adult males usually weigh around 200 kg and females around 120 kg. Black bears on the East Coast tend to be heavier on average than those on the West Coast. Seasonal variation in weight is very pronounced: in autumn, their pre-den weight tends to be 30% higher than in spring, when black bears emerge from their dens. Black bear weight tends to vary according to age, sex, health, and season. They typically live in largely forested areas, but do leave forests in search of food. Black bears are omnivores, with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. It is the continent's smallest and most common bear species. The American black bear or North American black bear ( Ursus americanus) is a medium-sized bear native to North America. The polar bear comes out as the clear victor due to its fighting knowledge and clear size advantage over the gorilla.Eastern American Black Bear - Ursus americanus americanus Polar bears are mostly independent throughout their lives and are used to fighting by themselves against one or a group of other creatures. The gorilla is at a disadvantage in this one on one situation, as gorillas normally live in large troops of other gorillas, giving them back-up if necessary in a fight. The gorillas thumbs would give it the use of tools, yet most primates that use tools have only been able to use simple tools such as sticks to reach into deep crevices. The polar bear, due to its carnivorous behavior, already has a killer instinct and has likely fought and killed multiple creatures before, and has possibly fought other large polar bears. The polar bear has a large height and weight advantage, giving it strength as well as a large and dense hide to protect it from any blows. There are a few reasons for their defeat against the bear. Now to the actual fight: If an eastern lowland gorilla and a polar bear were to fight in a neutral location, giving neither an advantage, the polar bear would win! but cant attack unless its on all fours - it only stands to threaten or see. This bear’s greatest weakness against a gorilla is the lack of an opposable thumb. Polar bears are the most carnivorous of all the bear species and are able to swim for long periods of time in frigid waters. These bears have dense coats of fur and fat to keep themselves insulated from the cold temperatures of the arctic. Polar bears are the largest of all bear species, standing at more than 10 feet tall and weighing anywhere from 800 to 1200 pounds. For example their dense muscle structure renders them unable to swim, a clear disadvantage when going against a polar bear. The gorilla is not without its disadvantages. The gorilla is able to use tools to their advantage, as well as being able to grapple onto their enemy in a fight. The gorilla’s defining advantage comes in their opposable thumbs, allowing them to use tools and pick up objects with ease.
These dense muscles give strength as well as protection to their internal organs and bones. This allows them to lift weights six times heavier than what a human could lift. Gorilla’s, like many primates, have extremely dense muscles.
Males of this subspecies stand at around 5 feet 6 inches tall, weigh around 374 pounds, and can reach speeds of around 20 to 25 miles per hour. We will be pitting the eastern lowland gorilla against the polar bear.įirst, the advantages and disadvantages of both animals, beginning with the eastern lowland gorilla, are considered. In order to make this battle as fair as possible, I will only consider the larger species of both animals. An important question to ask today, of all day’s – National Animal Day – is: in a fight with a gorilla and a bear, who would be crowned the victor? Throughout history, mankind has posed many questions with few answers.
