Silverback Gorilla vs Bengal Tiger

You do Tim.

When I was in Sumatra, they said the only animal that would try to defend itself against a tiger was a large male orangutan. I'd go with the gorilla though.

Tiger would have one shot at an attack if he gets it wrong and the gorilla grabs a hold of him its game over

I don't think the tiger has any prey that would stand and fight so I think it would just back off unless it was starving. If the tiger got a bite in around the the head/neck or mauled one of the gorillas arms it wound be game over. I don't think there is any evidence a gorilla could take on a foe 40% heavier than it.

I think a tables ladders and chairs match is the only solution here. With the snow leopard as guest referee

Harambe would

The gorilla would pull out a laser pointer or a ball of yarn and it would be game over for the kitty.

I believe they put a bear up against a tiger in America quite often and the bear won easily each time as it was able to crush the tigers skull with it's strength.

That was a grizzly. Tigers prey on sloth bears in SE Asia.

I don't know about that. I guess a gorilla has muscle power like an industrial press. But did you ever try to hold an ordinary house cat that was freaked out by something? They have incredible strength and are like a fkn eel. Now multiply that by 25.

It'd be quite a spectacular fight I reckon.

I remember a story from my childhood of a woman who kept 2 chimps as pets until one day 1 of them ripped her arms off.
Not the only time this has happened over the years and a chimp is only a fraction the size of a gorilla

Oh I know that. An angry chimp could just rip your arms off. I guess it comes from the ability to swing from one tree to another. Some animals are incredibly powerful. All I'm saying is the same applies to the cat.

When I was a kid I had my face up to the glass at the gorilla enclosure in dublin zoo. The silver back ran over and boxed the glass where my face was. He hit it some belt. I think the gorilla would win ; )
