Scientifically speaking, who would win? Biology seems to favor the bear, and their intelligence isn't so different that a gorilla could just outplay the bear, right?

I put my bet on the brown bear. It has a 4x weight advantage over the gorilla, and the attack strategy of a bear is pretty much just to crush the animal under its weight and chew its face off. Don't see how a gorilla can really defend itself from that.

Bears are infinitely cooler, so therefore the bear wins. The gorilla when confronted with a bear would be thinking "Damn, I'm just a stupid monkey, I can't compete with something this awesome" and get extremely demoralized and lose in great part because of that.

I don't know.
Part of me wants to say the gorilla because it's fucking huge and has enormous muscles (come to think of it, I wonder whats the probability a gorilla can't build muscle, this would be interesting to investigate, for humans this figure is 25%; I can't build muscle)
So yeah, the gorilla is probably much tougher than the bear, but the bear has claws so the gorilla risks bleeding out before finishing the bear off.

we can already infer the bear is the winner through previous animal matchups. read up on the california pit fights of the late 1800s. they would pit grizzly bears against spanish bulls and spectators would bet on the victor. the bear won so often that no one ended up betting on the bull. thus full grown male african lions were imported to pit against the bears. the bears routinely broke the cats' necks in one swipe. lions naturally prey on gorillas, ergo bear wins

brown bears, grizzly bears and kodiak bears are all the same bear, in my neck of the woods where you can actually see them with a short drive they're only called grizzlies unless they're on kodiak island, so it's probably a regional thing, or maybe only city people call them brown bears

The Bear, easily. Gorillas are just humans with exceptionally strong arms, except they're shorter, and can't use any weapons or tools.

Imagine putting the Strongman/Powerlifting champion against a Grizzly Bear. If he doesn't have any weapons, the Bear will easily kill him.

>>11663016
>thus full grown male african lions were imported to pit against the bears. the bears routinely broke the cats' necks in one swipe
I doubt this is true. For one thing, you'd need a lot of lions, which are difficult to acquire in 1800s California.

And cougars have often killed bears, despite a weight disparity in favor of the bear. I don't think the bears they kill are usually Grizzlies, though.
