In a fight to the death, does a healthy Silver Back Gorilla have what it takes to kill a Mountain Lion/Cougar in a fight?

Probably. A gorilla, if it wanted to, could rip apart any living human on this earth today. The Gorilla gets a good hit in or a good grab, Lion is fucked.

I think so. cats in general usually go after weak targets (the slowest, smallest, youngest, etc). unless it's a baby gorilla the lion will either get rekt or fuck off when it realizes it isn't winning easily

Cats of all sizes aren't well equipped to take on animals bigger than themselves, so the gorilla probably wins most of the time. Now an Amur tiger vs gorilla, tiger dominates.

Mountain lions / cougars aren't really that big. I wouldn't say the gorilla automatically wins but I think it would be incredibly unlikely the cougar would win.

A silverback gorilla weighs twice as much as a mountain Lion. Lion has no chance.

Mountain lions typically don't hunt in packs, you're thinking African lion.

Can a human take a house cat?

A gorilla has a bite force like twice what a cougar does at least and its 3 times the size.

I'd guess its similar to a gorilla. They have like 1300psi or something ridiculous though.

the big cats have fangs specialized for piercing and 4 sets of razor sharp claws. They are the sharpest claws in nature, far sharper than bears or any other land predator. Gorillas dont even have claws lol.

gorillas are pretty chill too. Theyre huge and powerful, but theyre not assholes like chimps

Mountain lions are ambush predators, the only way that fight is starting is if it catches the gorilla by surprise and attempts to bite the back of its neck. Gorillas do get ambushed by jaguars in the wild, it usually ends in the jaguar failing to do much and running away, but every now and then one gets lucky with a smaller gorilla.

I dont know their hunting habits tbh... but its the same difference in terms of result. Back of neck or throat... if they get either one thats the fight.

Honestly,

I think the gorilla would potentially give up. And basically let the tiger eat it, under the right circumstances (if the tiger was winning, namely)

same with the bear

Cats dont really do that. They fight until dead. The African lions are too dopey & used to working as a group.

But a good tiger, I think she stands a chance

theyll pounce and bite upon the soft of the neck

*edit: I believe I was correct. The bengals are killing machines.

Eh.

I mean cats aren't exactly badgers. They're all in, but a cat will run if its hurt or thinks its gonna be killed.

Badgers are the most savage animals by miles. A grizzly sized badger would maul fucking anything to death. Probly 2 of anything.

Will a gorilla or a grizzly really just lay down and give up if its outmatched?

I'm not arguing with you but is that how they actually behave?

I know they will in a match for dominance or territory with own of their own, but would they do that against another predator? Lions will bow down when a younger lion surpasses them as well tbf.

I dont know if there's even data on what happens in interspecies fights.

They usually single out the young or injured though, rarely do they kill full sized healthy Gorillas.
