Supposedly they are angry and mean too.

I’ve seen one stomp on a dumb tourist that got to close once. It was brutal to watch.

That had to be awful. Probably an understatement, but I'm Sure they were hurt pretty badly.

Grizzly and Pitt.

The interesting matchup would be a grizzly against a tiger.

Who’d win this fight?

Alright let’s switch it up a bit.

Mike Tyson Vs silverback gorilla?

Oddly enough the Champ actually tried to pay a zookeeper 10k to be let into the gorilla enclosure to fight a gorilla that was bullying other ones at the zoo.

So bizarrely I have done a bit of research on this topic! Gorilla v Grizzly
The gyst of what I have read is that if the fight ended early, the gorilla has ended it! A gorilla can take down a tree with a clothes line from its arm but only when it’s at full pelt. A gorilla, if threatened, will go full pelt from the get go at anything and anyone that threatens it.
So if the grizzly survives the Initial onslaught, where the gorilla will expend everything, it would then overcome the gorilla. If the gorilla catches it, the grizzly’s in a whole load of trouble.

Lmao!! That made me giggle. Thanks!! I needed that today.

But for curiosities sake, does that mean the Grizzly sees the Gorilla as a formidable opponent?

Especially enough so to read up about them or is the grizzly just being smart and learning his enemy?

How does he even know he may be fighting a gorilla?

Is it a sanctioned fight?

This is a good question. I have seen videos of grizzlies running away from polar bears and also polar running away from grizzlies at feeding sites, although I have never seen a video of them fighting head on. Polar bears are generally bigger while grizzlies appear more stocky and compact. Online opinions are divided and I genuinely have no idea who will win in a male-to-male fight...

Plot twist: the Gorilla is a 2 pack a day smoker and is out of smokes. The Grizzly hasn’t seen his wife in 3 weeks. They’re both in super rage about to explode mode.

Discuss.

So now the gorilla has lost a lot of his explosive energy due to the smoking however he has extra motivation not to be incapacitated due to the Grizzly being frustrated in the trouser dept! Gorilla wins.

Hasn’t seen his wife in two weeks? So the grizzly is on vacation then?

Grizzly will probably offer the gorilla a beer and some salmon. Then play 18 at riviera.

She sounds exhausting. He’s probably tired of her and happy he’s got a break.

She has a masseuse table in their cave.

(You don’t get it. She’s the grizzly pinup on the wall of every cub in the Empire)

Yeah, I was engaged to the human version of her a long time ago. She’s exhausting. I guarantee it.

Since we have to put it up, women should have to put it down. It's only fair.
