These Big Cats are at combat parity with a grizzly bear when at three-quarters the grizzly’s weight. Tigers and lions are of similar weight to the gorilla, however much more powerful, effective combat artists.
The two predators directly underneath the grizzly bear in combat effectiveness are tigers and lions. That question has been dealt with, however let’s then talk about what are the more realistic land predator contenders to the grizzly bear. I get the impression that this question was asked to find out if the silverback gorilla could beat what is assumed to be the most dangerous land predator, under the assumption that the silverback gorilla may be a particularly powerful combat artist. There are also some shorter, lesser scraps between sows fighting off boars going for her cubs, as well as some violent and ferocious reactions between grizzlies stealing kills from one another. If anyone has any doubts as to the great awe-inspiring strength, speed and ferocity of brown bears, I suggest searching for fights between boars competing for breeding rights. Huge thick dense muscles on a huge thick dense skeleton, fused by huge thick dense ligaments and sinews. Make no mistake, despite the fat, a grizzly bear is HUGELY, MASSIVELY muscled. The grizzly bear has a lot of fat and a lot of muscle mass both, and is even moreso built for strength than the gorilla is. If the strongman wants more muscle mass, he doesn’t want to be concentrating on becoming lean, as he would lose muscle mass, which is a loss of strength. The bodybuilder may look like he has lots of muscle mass, however he has actually given up a lot of muscle mass to be very lean. The bodybuilder is working on aesthetics, which require him to be lean. The reason strongmen have far more fat than a bodybuilder, is because leanness and muscle bulk are mutually exclusive. Fat like a strongman, but also carrying a huge amount of muscle mass and muscle density like a strongman, built for strength.īears also have a particularly thick, dense skeletal and ligament structure built for strength more than the gorilla, as well as a more strength-based muscle structure and muscle type. In reality, the strongman has a lot more muscle bulk and muscle density than the bodybuilder, and by extension, a lot more strength. This is the same mistake many people make when making muscle mass, muscle density, and strength comparisons between the strongman body-type and the bodybuilder body-type.Ī (fat) 160 kg strongman looks to have less muscle mass than a threaded 100 kg bodybuilder. Many people make the mistake of assuming that because brown bears have a lot of fat, it doesn’t have as much muscle, and by extension as much strength, as the leaner gorilla. Even if a grizzly bear is the same weight as a gorilla, it will still have the strength advantage. The grizzly boar would ruin the silverback gorilla in a complete no-contest. In absolute terms, a 1,500 lb grizzly bear is 40-times stronger than the average man, and 4-times stronger than a 500 lb silverback gorilla.Ī fight between a grizzly boar and silverback gorilla of respectively equal weights (ie 1,500 lbs bear vs 500 lb gorilla), would be like a fight between an adult human and an 8-yo child. In contrast, pound-for-pound the grizzly bear is 4-times stronger than the average man. In absolute terms, a 500 lb silverback is 10-times stronger than the average man. Pound-for-pound, the silverback is 3-times stronger than the average man. There are a number of reasons why the grizzly boar will murder the silverback gorilla, however I’ll concentrate on one of those reasons, superior strength. A 1,500 lb grizzly boar will beat a 500 lb silverback gorilla several times over.
