Who is stronger - a gorilla or a lion? Who is stronger: a gorilla or a bear? lion vs tiger

Gorilla vs Leopard

This time we are comparing a herbivore with a predator, and their fight is very likely. The analysis of the duel will give us its overall picture, and an idea of the course of the battle.

Leopard ( Panthera pardus) - view predatory mammals of the cat family, one of four representatives of the genus Panthera (Panthera), belonging to the subfamily of big cats.
The big cat, however, is much smaller than the tiger and lion. Body length without tail - 90-180 cm, (on average 160 cm) tail length 60-110 cm. Weight of females - 32-65 kg, males - 60-75 kg and more, maximum - 90 kg. On average, the height of males at the withers reaches 70-80 cm. The height at the withers of the smallest individuals of females reaches only 45 cm. The leopard feeds mainly on ungulates: antelopes, deer, roe deer and others, and during the period of starvation - rodents, monkeys, birds, reptiles. Sometimes attacks domestic animals (sheep, horses).

Gorilla is a genus of monkeys (Gorilla) of the hominid family (Hominidae). Gorillas are the largest of all primates. Gorillas also vary in size, just like humans. Adult male gorillas grow up to 200 kg.

Venues of rivals:

As we have said, opponents are often encountered. And the place is equatorial forests Africa.

Reasons for possible collisions:

A skirmish between large individuals of both species is unlikely, gorillas do not attack leopards, they are vegetarians, while leopards try not to attack gorillas because of their strength and group lifestyle. Nevertheless, leopard attacks on gorillas were recorded, all of them took place at night, and in all cases the leopard attacked the sleeping gorilla. A hungry leopard may also try to attack an awake monkey.

Enemy sizes:

Take an individual gorilla at 240 kg and a leopard at 90 kg. The size of the gorilla is its big advantage.

Let's try to make a table of advantages and weaknesses:

1. On the side of the gorilla, the advantage is in size and strength, on the side of the leopard, speed and agility.
The gorilla has almost 2.5 times the weight, 240 kg versus 90 kg, and 2 times the height of the cat, and this is a very serious advantage.
Despite their peacefulness and desire to avoid conflicts, gorillas can seriously cripple each other.

Dian Fossey in her book "Gorillas in the Mist" described such a case:

Increased friction within the group became apparent after a violent skirmish between Group 5 and an unknown outlying group in April 1976. The place of their meeting was covered with blood, and everywhere one could see tufts of hair from silver-backed males, pools of liquid excrement and many broken branches. Following the fleeing group, I went out to her and was horrified to find that Beethoven's right humerus was sticking out somewhere near the elbow, surrounded by exposed ligaments and connective tissue. Icarus, who was fourteen years old at the time, helped his father in a fierce fight, as I counted eight bite wounds on his hands and head.

The case clearly shows what damage male gorillas can inflict on each other, the leopard has a lighter physique and, in the event of an ambush attack failure, must avoid protracted contact combat at all costs.

The video shows that even a playful little gorilla can easily knock a man down.

This is how the leopard acted, keeping the lionesses away from him. He tried to hit the eyes or scratch the face.

But this is the last line of defense, in the first place he must rely on the speed and agility inherent in cats.

2. The gorilla wins in the strength of the grip of the jaws, the leopard in the number of cutting weapons (claws and teeth), and the skill of their use (predator skills).

In order to gnaw bamboo, nature endowed gorillas with a powerful bite, and males with long fangs. Fortunately for the leopard, the gorilla does not know how to use its weapons in battle and will bite anywhere, because there are not so many real fights in the life of a male gorilla and males never seek to take the life of an opponent during a fight. The panther, on the contrary, has both teeth and claws, and no doubt knows where to bite the primate to kill.

Although, without a doubt, killing a gorilla is many times more difficult than a baboon.

3. Musculature on the side of the gorilla, camouflage and night vision on the side of the leopard.

The muscles of the monkey not only make it stronger, but also provide additional protection to the internal organs.

Will muscle help a gorilla? If you imagine a fight between two aggressive males ready to tear each other apart, then yes. The leopard will not always be able to grab the gorilla by the neck, and the muscles will minimize damage from the claws of the defending leopard.

As mentioned above, the leopard does not attack the gorilla during the day, he tries to protect himself as much as possible, and here spotted camouflage and vision are several times better than those of primates to help him.

4. The gorilla is more enduring than the cat, but the initiative in attack is on the side of the leopard.

Despite the seemingly measured way of life, gorillas are often forced to move from place to place in search of food, while the leopard, like other big cats, is not famous for its endurance. But the leopard is an aggressor and can guess best moment for an attack. True, the gorilla will not waste time alone with a spotted predator.

So the benefits:
Leopard: speed, agility, predator skills, teeth and claws, night vision, camouflage, initiative.
Gorilla: size and weight, power superiority, endurance, jaw strength, musculature.

Disadvantages:
Leopard: Weak defenses, lacking stamina.
Gorilla: no night vision, no killing skills.

Let's evaluate the behavior at the meeting.

The gorilla will tear the leopard in literally the words. Her weapons are paws, relying on her jaws with less maneuverability is not worth it. The leopard needs to be near the throat of the enemy, using his tactics. The goals of both will be difficult to achieve.

If you evaluate the parameters of rivals, you can immediately understand that in an open fight, with perfect visibility, the leopard has practically no chance. The gorilla is well protected and will block attacks to its neck with its hands. The main chance of a big cat is to kill an opponent quickly using darkness, surprise and disguise, while only a bite to the neck of a gorilla can bring the desired result.

Conclusion: a duel between these two different animals is extremely difficult to predict. The leopard, for all its virtues, lacks one for a guaranteed kill. Brute force. No doubt he will put all his resourcefulness to defeat the gorilla, but there are also many advantages on the side of the gorilla. The primate, on the other hand, lacks the dexterity to catch a more mobile opponent.

Let's imagine how the fight will go.

Central Africa. Rwanda. The foothills of the Virunga mountain range.
The male gorilla himself without realizing it led his group in search of food to the hunting territory large male leopard. During the day, the gorillas ate vegetation without suspecting that the owner of this territory was watching them from afar, from the thickets. By evening, the females and cubs, being more than 2 times lighter than the male, settled down to sleep on the trees, while the male alone went to the nearest grove to build a nest for sleeping from leaves and branches. The leopard, watching the gorillas, firmly decided not to retreat and get his own food, despite the fact that this male gorilla was larger than anyone he had seen before.

After waiting for it to settle down to sleep, the leopard began to get closer, looking for where to bite its fangs for an instant kill, and when the distance between them was reduced to 15 meters, the leopard rushed to the attack. But the male sat sideways to him and therefore it was not possible to sink his teeth into his throat right away, the gorilla woke up and immediately began to resist, and tore the grip of his teeth from his throat when the cat was ready to close his fangs, the leopard tried to cling to the gorilla with its claws, but unsuccessfully. The gorilla, waking up, began to run away, still not really knowing who he was dealing with. But not for long. Turning around, she meets the attacking cat with powerful punches, from which the leopard quite easily leaves and retreats into the thickets. The leopard is at a loss, the first attempt failed and it should have retreated, but the leopard decides to try his luck again, begins to bypass the gorilla and, no matter how hard she tries to follow him, hides in the thickets.
The gorilla understands who he is dealing with and tries to scare off the opponent with screams and beating in the chest. Her whole group wakes up, but is afraid to climb down from the trees. The leopard, trying to get closer to the throat for several minutes slower than the tortoise, cautiously sneaks up and is 10 meters away, almost in front of the gorilla's nose. The smell tells the gorilla that the leopard is nearby, but does not know where he is, continues to shout and beat his chest. The leopard rushed off, the gorilla saw only an incomprehensible movement, but reacted in time and the leopard turned out to be head-on with an angry monkey, the gorilla tried to wrap her arms around the cat, but the leopard began to work furiously with her claws and therefore she knocked him to the ground with her hands. Usually in such cases, the gorilla tries to bite the enemy, but the leopard again meets it with a flurry of blows with its clawed paws. The gorilla recoiled a little and the leopard tried to get up, but the gorilla felt it and tried to grab the cat again, but grabs its paws and breaks one of them with all its strength. The leopard cannot leave and takes up a dead defense, the enraged monkey did not even think of letting him go, she tried to bite him, however, in these unsuccessful attempts, the leopard severely tore her face with her claws and she continued the onslaught blindly, but the leopard began to lose strength, the gorilla crushed him with her hands and broke several ribs. Feeling the weakness of the enemy, the gorilla tried to bite him, but one claw of one of the leopard's paws fell into the jugular vein and remained there. The gorilla recoils and the leopard, with its last strength, breaks out from under it.
The gorilla is bleeding, while the leopard has received numerous injuries and cannot hunt.

The “king of animals” lives in the savannas, the “hairy woman” lives in the forests, their paths do not intersect in the natural, they cannot meet. In zoos, people, to their credit, do not arrange fights between animals, they do not put these animals in one.

It is impossible to answer unambiguously the question of who is stronger - a lion or a gorilla. The reason is that these animals live in different environments.

The American naturalist researcher Joseph Kullmann believes that in order to answer the question of who is stronger - or a lion, it is necessary to indicate in the behavior of animals they help them survive in the conditions of the struggle for existence. To do this, you need to determine a number of parameters by which you need to compare animals. Usually such parameters are the weight of the animal, its size, running speed, bite force, endurance. But not always superiority in these parameters will allow someone to win the fight. In many ways, the result depends on the ingenuity of the animal.

bite force

A lion has a bite force of 41 atmospheres, a gorilla has 88. That is, the advantage of a gorilla is more than 2 times. What is the reason for this? The lion is a predatory animal, lions hunt in pairs. To kill the victim, it is enough to have a soft bite, powerful fangs this is not required.

Gorilla is a herbivore. Their main food is leaves, branches, young shoots. In dry times, bamboo sprouts. This lifestyle has developed powerful jaws and strong neck muscles designed for survival, not attack.

Who is first

Lion predator. His task is to attack first, while the gorilla only demonstrates aggression.
Leo doesn't care about his "rank". He is a king. Gorilla is a much more peaceful animal. Her task is not to attack, but to scare the opponent. With loud screams, punches in the chest, the gorilla frightens the enemy. Further, like a tank, she goes on the attack on the opponent, but at the last moment she turns away and runs away.

Intelligence

Animals on Earth will never fight against each other just for the sake of fighting. Such fights are possible only because of the female, for reasons of self-defense or when obtaining food.

Attempts to find out the presence of intelligence in animals have so far not yielded tangible results. As for, scientists have proven that they have self-awareness, which lions cannot boast of.

Due to the structural features of the vocal apparatus, gorillas cannot speak, but they are able to communicate in, have symbolic thinking, a sense of humor. Gorilla Koko, which was studied by scientists at Stanford University, has reached an incredible intelligence quotient, in the range of 75 - 93 (for a person average equals 90). No lion will achieve such results.

Chimpanzees, also belonging to the family of apes, living in the East African tropics, feed on large animals. To kill them, they use cunning - they break the neck of their prey and hit their heads on the ground with force. Encounters with leopards, which often occur with gorillas, also usually end in victory for the latter due to the presence of ingenuity.

Muscular strength

There is no exact data on the strength of the lion. But you can judge her by the fact that he is able to carry prey, approximately equal to its own weight. The gorilla is a male, with an average height of 175 cm, i.e. with growth ordinary person, effortlessly carries a load weighing about 2 tons, i.e. ten times more than own weight!

Often animals in wild nature enter into a deadly fight, the outcome of which cannot always be predicted in advance. Interestingly, even the most harmless creature, as it turns out, can stand up for itself in an emergency.

How true is the statement that the fittest survives? In this article, we will try to compare two, at first glance, animals that are completely different in appearance, behavior and physical data: a gorilla and a bear.

And although they have almost no chance to start a duel in the wild, we will still try to imagine a fight between them. Otherwise, how can we understand: who is it? stronger bear or gorilla?

Let's start with an assessment of their physical abilities and habits, which can affect the outcome of the battle.

Gorilla is the biggest great ape. Lives in Western and Central Africa. The main types of gorillas:

western plains;
eastern plains;
eastern mountain.

The largest and strongest gorillas

The largest are the Eastern mountain gorillas. An adult male can be up to 2 meters tall and weigh up to 300 kg. The width of the animal's shoulders is about a meter, and the arm span is up to 2.5 meters.

But, despite the developed muscles and massive physique, gorillas are peaceful and calm animals. This is mainly due to the vegetarian lifestyle.

If an attack occurs on a group of gorillas, males resort to intimidating the enemy with sharp throws and shouts, but it rarely comes to a fight.

Often the male, standing on his hind legs, intimidatingly beats himself in the chest with his fists, and begins to bite the enemy only in case of escape. There were cases when people lived among gorillas for years and they did not touch them.

But, despite this, one should not underestimate such an adversary as a furious male gorilla. He has very powerful hands, and fangs up to 5 cm long are capable of inflicting terrible wounds.

Gorilla bite force 88 atmospheres. It has very powerful neck muscles and a jaw adapted for chewing tough plants like bamboo. At the same time, the brain of this monkey is very similar in structure to the human one.

Bear

The bear is a predator belonging to the bear family. Lives in northern Europe, on the continent North America and in the Asian part of the Eurasian continent. In nature there are different types bears that have both similarities and differences.

4 main types of bears:

baribal;
Himalayan bear;
Brown bear;
polar bear.

One of the biggest bears

All kinds of bears have enough big weight and size, but brown is one of the largest. Its weight is from 500 kg, and its body length is from 1.5 meters. Only the polar bear is larger than it. Its body length is from two meters, and its weight reaches a ton.

The brown bear is a ferocious animal. One lives in the forest. Runs up to 50 km per hour and has claws up to 10 cm. Bite force 81 atmospheres.

The bear is considered a predator, but in fact it is an omnivore. Its menu includes both vegetarian and meat, fish dishes. Taking advantage of the physical advantage, it takes prey even from cougars and tigers. Its character is quite unpredictable, therefore, under certain circumstances, it can attack people and livestock.

Bears are especially dangerous - connecting rods that woke up during hibernation. Hungry and irritated, they become merciless predators. Also very dangerous are females protecting their offspring.

Who is stronger anyway?

If we compare the above physical data of the largest male gorilla and the largest male brown bear, then the monkey is clearly losing to the bear. A bear has twice the body weight of a gorilla.

In addition, he is still a predator who knows how to kill, and a gorilla is a herbivore. The bear has sharp long claws and fangs, while the gorilla has fangs and strong hands. And although their jaws are about equally powerful, a bear can crush a gorilla with its weight.

But, despite the fact that the bear is clearly stronger than the gorilla, the outcome of the duel between them cannot be 100 percent predicted, because in the wild the physically strong does not always win.

Sometimes the victory, as in people, is won by the one who is strong in spirit, who has a faster reaction. Every wild animal has its own way of fighting for life.

And when it seems that the result of the fight is already known, an unexpected turn can happen, as a result, not the opponent that everyone bet on will win. Strength manifests itself differently for everyone.

An elephant will trample a rhinoceros, a walrus will easily finish off a polar bear, and a gorilla will stuff a leopard in the face.

The answer to the question "Who is stronger: a tiger or a lion, a crocodile or a hippopotamus, a falcon or a hawk?" - not only parents who are tortured by curious children are looking for. Quite serious scientists and simply lovers of the animal world are also trying to figure out who will defeat whom. It turned out that not always the most powerful wins.

It would seem, what is so difficult? We need to find out who is the largest and fastest of the animals and who has stronger jaw. However, victory in a real fight does not always depend on these parameters. American naturalist Joseph Kullmann set out to find out who is the best in the animal kingdom. He studies all cases of one-on-one fights and identifies features that help win. Some of the stories included in the book, we bring to your attention.

In wild nature

* Hunters of Primorsky Krai tell about the fights of tigers with brown bears. The winner is more often the tigers, who do not just fight for prey, but specifically hunt clubfoot. However, it is not uncommon for rivals to disperse after a stubborn struggle without finding out who is stronger.

* In fights between elephants and rhinoceroses, the former more often win, despite the fact that the formidable weapon of the rhinoceros, its horn, is located at an angle dangerous for the enemy and can easily cut through the stomach of the elephant. However, the enraged elephant tramples the rhinoceros, sometimes first stunning it with a blow from a log.

* A rhinoceros who came to a watering hole was crushed by a hippopotamus skull with his fangs.

* The giraffe decided to eat the leaves of a tree and did not notice that a leopard was sleeping on it. The cat jumped on the giraffe's neck and strangled him.

* In India 11 meters reticulated python in a long fight he defeated the tiger: he strangled him and swallowed him.

* Frequent fights of martens with wild forest cats. Outnumbered by their rivals, cats rarely come out victorious. A case is described when a marten at the end of an exhausting battle strangled a cat.

* On Komodo Island, monitor lizard feeding turns into a real show for the amusement of tourists. Once a goat intended for dinner tried to fight a giant lizard: he put out his horns and went on the attack. But the lizard dodged to the side, interrupted the goat's legs with its powerful tail and, pulling its muzzle, broke its neck.

* The cougar that attacked the alligator jumped up, punched the reptile in the eyes with its paws, landed on its back, bit and bounced to a safe distance. The second attack followed immediately: the cougar again jumped onto the back of the alligator, rested its front paws on the scruff of the neck, ducked down and closed its jaws where the skull ends. During all this time, the alligator managed only once to wave its tail, from which the cat easily dodged.

Robot Animal Fights

Joseph Kullmann also studied the fights of animal robot models created by experts. They were shown in the Animal Battles series on the Discovery Channel. Simulators did not reproduce the animal in full, but had the same jaws, claws, impact and bite force.

Saltwater crocodile vs great white shark

The crocodile damaged the shark's tail fin, then bit it chest grabbing a rib. It seemed that he could celebrate the victory, but the shark did not retreat. She swam away and then attacked the crocodile. By clinging jaws, both animals began to sink. The crocodile began to lack air, and when he tried to emerge to take a sip of oxygen, the shark ripped open his stomach.

wolf vs cougar

Gray seized the cougar's paw with a death grip, but she threw the toothy one away with a blow of her paw. Then he tried to grab the cat's throat, and again unsuccessfully - the cougar seriously wounded him in the stomach with its claws. A "control" bite in the neck - and the puma comes out victorious in this fight.

Hippo versus blunt shark

A bleeding wound on the hippo's body attracted a shark. She could not bite the animal properly - his paws and stomach were too thick. However, the predator did not give up her attempts. This terribly angered the hippopotamus, and another attack of the shark ended in his mouth - he swallowed a 3-meter fish like some kind of sprat.

Amur tiger vs brown bear

The tiger tried to bite the bear by the throat, but failed. Then the striped one attacked the bear from behind and grabbed it with its claws. However, the bear threw off the tiger with a blow to the head with its paw, broke its spine and finished it off with a bite in the throat.

Polar bear vs walrus

The bear could not bite through the thick skin of the walrus. The latter decided to take refuge in the water. The bear went after him, but the walrus wounded him with fangs. After that, the bear tried to get out onto the ice floe, but the walrus finished him off by sticking his fangs in his back.

Anaconda vs Jaguar

The snake wrapped itself around the cat and tried to pull it under the water. The jaguar bit the tail of the reptile and almost made it to land. Anaconda made a second attempt, this time successful, and drowned the jaguar.

lion vs crocodile

Sharp teeth and claws did not help the king of beasts to break through the dense shell of a crocodile. AT once more driving the lion away from the river, the crocodile went under the water. Then the lion came closer, trying to understand where the enemy had gone. And he paid for his curiosity: the crocodile, holding the lion's muzzle in its mouth, dragged it into the water and finished it off there.

Alligator vs black bear

The alligator tried to bite the bear's paw and hurt him, but not too badly. Then he attacked again, but the clubfoot dodged. The tired alligator decided to retreat, but the bear stopped him with a paw strike, the alligator turned over and exposed its unprotected stomach to the opponent. Having torn it open, the black bear won.

Gorilla vs Leopard

On the side of the leopard were the ability to see in the dark and feline dexterity. However, this did not help the leopard. All his attacks were easily repelled by the gorilla, and finally delivered a fatal blow with a powerful paw.

Giant squid vs sperm whale

While the sperm whale scared the squid sound signals, he attacked the toothed whale, clasping him with his tentacles. However, this was of little concern to the sperm whale. Having stunned the giant mollusk and grabbed it with his jaws, he went to the depths and dined quietly there.

lion vs tiger

For a long time, the fight between the two cats was on an equal footing. By the end of the duel, the tiger tried to grab the opponent by the throat, but the mane of the king of beasts prevented him. But the lion's attempt to grab the enemy's neck was successful, and he won.

Everyone will beat the king of beasts

Our observer Ruslan IGNATIEV is a hunting biologist by profession. He defended his diploma under the guidance of Nikolai Nikolaevich DROZDOV, he practiced under him in the program “In the Animal World”. We asked a colleague who he would bet on in threes: elephant, rhinoceros and hippopotamus; polar bear, lion and tiger; whale, sperm whale and killer whale.

* Polar bear, lion and tiger. The polar bear would certainly win - the largest of ground predators. By the way, he is the only one who, according to scientists, hunts a person. I won’t choose between a lion and a tiger for a long time either: of course, the tiger will win. Fights between these animals are not uncommon - in circuses where they are kept together. The tiger is an experienced hunter, dexterous and bold, while females hunt among lions, while males are lazy and stupid. For nothing that the kings of beasts.

Only one case is known when a gorilla and a lion fought each other. But it was a computer model. She was built professional programmers based a large number parameters. The gorilla won this fight, and she defeated the lion not by force, but by cunning.

The “king of beasts” lives in the savannahs, the “hairy woman” lives in the forests, their paths do not intersect in natural conditions, they cannot meet. In zoos, people, to their credit, do not arrange fights between animals, they do not put these animals in one cage.

It is impossible to answer unambiguously the question of who is stronger - a lion or a gorilla. The reason is that these animals live in different environments.

The American naturalist researcher Joseph Kullmann believes that in order to answer the question of who is stronger - a gorilla or a lion, it is necessary to identify what features in the behavior of animals help them survive in the struggle for existence. To do this, you need to determine a number of parameters by which you need to compare animals. Usually such parameters are the weight of the animal, its size, running speed, bite force, impact force, endurance. But not always superiority in these parameters will allow someone to win the fight. In many ways, the result depends on the ingenuity of the animal.

bite force

A lion has a bite force of 41 atmospheres, a gorilla has 88. That is, the advantage of a gorilla is more than 2 times. What is the reason for this? The lion is a predatory animal, lions hunt in pairs. To kill a victim, it is enough to bite through a soft artery; powerful fangs are not required for this.

Who is first

Lion predator. His task is to attack first, while the gorilla defends itself and only demonstrates aggression.
Leo doesn't care about his "rank". He is a king. Gorilla is a much more peaceful animal. Her task is not to attack, but to scare the opponent. With loud screams, punches in the chest, the gorilla frightens the enemy. Further, like a tank, she goes on the attack on the opponent, but at the last moment she turns away and runs away.

Due to the peculiarities of the structure of the vocal apparatus, gorillas cannot speak, but they are able to communicate in sign language, have symbolic thinking, and a sense of humor. Gorilla Koko, which was studied by scientists at Stanford University, has reached an incredible intelligence quotient, in the range of 75 - 93 (for a person, the average is 90). No lion will achieve such results.
