    Whichever one had the gun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭Desire.


    I would say the gorilla because it could just climb a tree or something if he needs a rest. Also, he could probably just crush the tiger in one go... if he could catch him though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 the big cheese 01


    i was thinkin the gorilla, cus it has essentially 4 arms, and also cus it has like armor on its front. AND ther really strong

    Perhaps they'd befriend eachother and visit outlying jungle communities with a message of peace.

    Well, the rainbow flag would set the tigers stripes off beautifully.

    Tiger easily

    Male Gorillas weigh 140–200 kg

    Tigers weigh up to 300 kilograms

    Do the math - tigers are bigger stronger and have big ass teeth


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    GAY!

    But their weird tigerillla gaybies will be the single most awesome animal on earth and you know it.

    I thought this thread was going to be about who would win in a fight between Tiger Woods and a very hairy man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    heres an animal planet footage of a fight between a gorrila and leopard

    skip to 2.35 see graphic images



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,633 ✭✭✭enfant terrible


    The Gorilla would be mincemeat.

    Tiger vs Polar Bear would be interesting.

    Eh, that's CGI.

    So we're now arguing who'd win between two computer modelled beasts?

    Heavier doesnt always mean stronger saying that it would be a tough match. I would definatly say a Gorilla would beat a lion but tige Gorilla would be 50 50.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 the big cheese 01


    ok so i know leopards are smaller then tigers but i can defo imagine a gorilla being able to do tht to a tiger just as easy

    We dont need to imagine Gorillas have often killed leopards in the past. Although leopards have killed Gorillas by sneaking up on them!

    IMO, Not a chance!

    Tigers are built for killing!

    Gorillas are built for picking daisys or something equally gay!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,872 ✭✭✭strobe


    Gorilla would win everytime. 250kgs of angry monkey beats cranky cat every time. Impalas rarely grab your head, crack your skull with a fist and eat your face. More fool them... Tigger would be at a loss as soon as donkey kong grabbed a hold of his chops.

    Male gorillas have been known to fight each other to the death. The silverback also has sacrificed itself fighting poachers to the death while its family escapes. Of course they are partly designed for fighting!

    I would have to say siberian tiger considering the size of them. 4 sets of claws and nice, sharp teeth vs two big fists. Ever see a cat on its back where it pins you with its front paws and keeps jumping on you with its back claws - agony.

    I remember watching a program lately about miners in africa or somewhere years ago -they set up 1v1s fight tothe death of exotic animals for entertainment/gambling.
    They said bear beats them all.

    Gorilla, 400 pounds and they can flip cars with one arm. I can't imagine how hard that punch would be, if a tiger tries to bite and hold on the arms would beat it good, although it could slash and run away etc.
    Still i think it would end like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP-6wG_wZ8A#t=4m5s or with the gorlla punching in its skull.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭Fromvert


    If the Gorilla grabbed a hold of the Tiger or landed one Gorilla smash the Tiger would be finished.

    Gorilla smash, nice. You make it sound like a special move from Street fighter :D

    If I was a betting man my money would be on the Gorilla.

    Fill yer boots with Gorilla. He's winning 95% of the time here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42 timelessone


    Would it be a straight fight or would weapons be allowed?

    (e.g. tiger with slash hook v gorilla with bazooka.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭Helium


    Don't really know , but the 'Crack' dealing Hyena's are waiting on the sidelines ready to offer winner a job as debt collector.
    (The Elephant is behind on its payments.)

    Think we could knock a film script outta this one!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,048 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    Tigers are more agile, but one strong blow from a silver back gorilla could probably do a tiger in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    I can't see the tiger losing this one. Tigers are killing machines, 300 kgs angry bags of muscle, bone and pointy bits. In terms of speed, power, agility, reach it's got the drop on the gorilla, a swipe from a tiger paw is strong enough to smash a cows head in.

    No contest IMO

    Big ass teeth??

    So they can bite with both ends?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,650 ✭✭✭sensibleken


    tiger would kick the gorrila's ass.

    First of all the tiger would most likely be hunting the gorilla so it would probably attack first. second gorilla's are known for their gentility as opposed to tigers. gorilla's are strong but dont have the agression or agility of tigers on the ground


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,439 ✭✭✭Kevin Duffy


    Man, some of you people have never seen a gorilla in action - gentle when he's happy, unbelievably fúcking fast and aggressive when not, teeth not that much smaller than the tiger, far more dexterity and manouverability, more power per limb and bigger brain. Yer Tiger'd want a gun to level it up a bit.

    2 inch canines for the gorilla, 4 inch for the tiger.

    Far more dexterity and manouvreability? not unless they're fighting in tree tops.

    Tigers are predators and have natural killer instinct and have expressly evolved for the purpose of killing things


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,085 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Tiger would likely win.
