Gorilla vs lion vs ultimate fighter!

underestimating these animals is extremely dangerous anyone remember this case?

This raises a question. I note this guy doesn't really fight back. Now maybe he doesn't get a chance to but I think he's trying to be submissive. So the question is: if you were unlucky enough to be set upon by a marauding chimp, which lets face it, in this part of the world is God-is-out-to-get-you unlucky, what do you do ? Fight back ? Act submissive ? Play dead ?

Hmm I also think that chimp wasn't really trying to hurt the guy, it seemed to be just kicking him off the island. Which raises another question: chimp vs night-club bouncer - who wins ??? :P

I stand corrected. Did a bit of googling and came across the following:
http://www.slate.com/id/2212232

The apes were less-than-willing participants in the study. They were more apt to tear apart the shiny dynamometer than pull on it, and, unless the ape had a "distinctly vicious disposition," she was unlikely to approach the experimental task with much vigor. Bauman managed to rig his device outside the cage, feeding in a rope for the apes to work on. Then, amazingly, one of the Bronx chimpanzees—a former circus ape named Suzette—managed to pull 1,260 pounds.
Bauman took his study on the road, attempting tests at the Philadelphia Zoo and making inquiries as far afield as Chicago and Cincinnati. In 1926, he returned to the Bronx Zoo, successfully testing the largest chimpanzee then in captivity. That animal, named Boma, pulled 847 pounds one-handed.
How did that compare with humans? As a college teacher in South Dakota, Bauman did what any good scientist would do: He recruited the football team as research subjects. He found that not one of his "husky lads" could pull more than 500 pounds with both hands, and only one had a one-handed pull above 200. What's more, the football players were free to use the dynamometer as they wished, while the chimpanzees had been forced to pull the apparatus from a clumsy posture in their cages. It appeared that chimpanzees really could be more than five times stronger than humans.

It would be interesting to attempt to train a chimp for weight-lifting.

Anyone who thinks Tyson could KO a gorilla think again. The stronger a boxers neck is, the less chance there is of a punch knocking him out. An adult silverback has a huge neck -

ps- these days Jane Goodall could probably KO Tyson with ease.

very true a silver back is often described as ten times the strenght of the strongest man and there extremly fast when threatened, a punch would surprise him at best!

What about a kick in the balls ?

Not even 15 Mike Tysons could knock out a gorilla.

A silverback would rip tysons arms off like they were chicken wings.

nifty footwork by the bear!

We haven't the technology just yet to clone Tyson. So we're going to have to wait.
I think if the Tysons can co-ordinate their efforts and fight as a team they can win. Feigned diversionary attacks, ambushes and striking at pressure points. Where as if they fight as fifteen individuals the Silver Back will pick them off one by one. Childs play.

Who would actually want to see this happen? A man punching a bear doesn't sound that entertaining. Cruel? Yes.

Yeah go post that on the martial arts forum as a video of the best fighter and see what reaction you get

A contest between a man & a silverback gorilla would be a gruesome spectacle. The human would be torn to pieces in a matter of seconds. Its a ridiculous match. The best thing the human could do is run or play dead.

In the world of animals we may be the smartest but we're puny & weak compared to lions, bears & large apes. Sure even a mountain lion can take down a human & they rarely get bigger than 150lbs in weight. And yes it has been known to happen.

Nevermind a gorilla vs a human, a champanzee would be a fairer contest & even then the monkey would probably still easily thump a human to pieces. Actually if it has to be an ape then only a baboon would be a fair match. The human could win alright.

These apes seem to all be many many times stronger than us squishy humans.

True even a chimp would beat the strongest ultimate fighter no contest whatsoever!

Hail 2 Da Thief

I read this before which sums up just how physically weak us humans really are!

In tests at the Bronx Zoo in 1924, a dynamometer--a scale that measures the mechanical force of a pull on a spring--was erected in the monkey house. A 165-pound man, could manage a one-handed pull of about 210 pounds. A female chimp, weighing a mere 135 pounds and going by the name of Suzette, checked in with a one-handed pull of 1,260 pounds.

That's only chimps, imagine how strong a silverback is!

Mike Tyson could knock out a Silverback hands down...

Gorilla vs bear. I wonder who'd win. The bear is a lot bigger but the gorilla would be stronger and probably faster as well.

Did you read the rest of the article?

But the "five times" figure was refuted 20 years after Bauman's experiments. In 1943, Glen Finch of the Yale primate laboratory rigged an apparatus to test the arm strength of eight captive chimpanzees. An adult male chimp, he found, pulled about the same weight as an adult man. Once he'd corrected the measurement for their smaller body sizes, chimpanzees did turn out to be stronger than humans—but not by a factor of five or anything close to it.
