    Depends on the scenario. Tiger is quicker and is usually a swift ambusher and could get a hold of his neck.... but if the gorilla gets a clear whack at him with those arms, would be different.

    But what about the weird guy at the beach that went to the dentist after he stopped his car in the road?

    They'd probably just avoid each other.

    Are they armed or us it just a bare paw fight?

    Cats are by nature sleveens so would probably have a knife tucked away somewhere

    The gorilla is a more honest fighter

    Sure Lions must be able to kill Gorillas seeing as they both live in Africa.

    Lions live on the Savannah, Gorilla's live in the mountains and forests so I don't think they would ever cross paths in Africa.

    I've seen a gorilla and bear slog it out and the bear wins by default -


    The Tiger only needs one swipe.

    Should we ask Peta who to be outraged over when they win ?

    The Gorilla was smart enough to throw a boulder at the bear though. Remarkable footage.

    Pretty sure Gorillas are omnivores actually. They'll eat meat too if they can get their hands on it. There are also cases of cannibalism in the ape world too.

    I'd say the Bengal Tiger would win if it got its moment to pounce on the gorilla but the gorilla being a more intelligent and resourceful animal could escape pretty easily and hide up a tree.

    Yes, it's a wonderful piece of camerawork. Looks like something from the 80s.

    That gorilla looks about as real as Santa Claus, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that's a man in a gorilla suit and a tame bear play fighting with him.

    Tiger is simply too fast, heavier, stronger, has claws and much bigger fangs. Gorilla might land a lucky punch, 9/10 times its a tiger.



    A more interesting fight would be Jaguar vs Gorilla.

    Rhino vs Hippo

    Leopard vs 3 Wolves

    Dang nothing gets past you :-)

    My money's on the Bengal tiger any time, but if he gets a wallop in the noggin from the hairy fella, it could be another story...

    We're both primates so I can understand where you're making the mistake.
