Pack of 10 gorillas versus one male lion

[Juddog]

TridenT-sized alkemysts, not alkemyst-sized TridenTs. All ten have been adequately battle-honed by our moms and are in prime fighting condition.

Hahahaha, spit coffee on my monitor!

Lions are carnivores, gorillas are vegetarians. As long as each have been adequately fed their normal mealtime food, they may (for a while) just respectfully decline any kind of physical confrontation. Who knows what happens afterwards?, however.
Ancient Rome's Colosseum likely had something similar actually occur. Emperor Nero was infamous for staging all kinds of gruesome animal fights, even mock naval battles on an artificial lake inside the Colosseum, etc.

Just pretend they've all been given Bath Salts and play the game!

For those that wanted a video.

Is that something your parents put together?

 

[zinfamous]

What about 10, 000 hedgehog sized gorillas?

see, now we're through the looking glass here, people.

It all depends on fear. If gorillas have a fear of lions then forget it, they will panic and be easy pickings. If they do not have a fear of lions, then the lion can kiss it's ass goodbye

Fear is a powerful force. If you've seen the shows for example where a small cheetah or lioness hunts after a young wilderbeast amongst a herd of thousands of them they all run away from her in panic and the young gets killed. If they didnt fear her and just charged her especially in a concerted effort they would own the day.

Would ten really be enough?

Numbers means little to nothing when your geno social trait is wired to run...

Gorillas run and are preyed on by leopards, basicaly a 120 pound cat...
http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9381679/1/

The lion on average is a 420 pound cat and can reach as high as 700 pounds as its prime in the wild, yet in captivity the largest gorilla was 806 pounds, about 200 pounds lighter than the largest lion...dont belive lions can get large? Check my sig under the valhala lions. But its ranges have the lion as the bigger animal on average, since most gorillas stay around 350 pounds as quite large.

As for the ambush tactics every king kong fan boust out about leopard vs gorilla, it means little to nothing since there are an aray of accounts where there was a fight within close quarters both and ready even in captivity...

Leopard rips off gorillas arm.

You never heard of a leopard ambushing and killing a male lion have you? Holding grounds with many lions, but killing a one. (Male) Nope.
The gorllias are not wired to work together when all are males, most likely the ten gorillas will kill each other off while the lion takes out a few himself.

I'm dissapointed in you Judog...very dissapointed.

You people need to realize, I am not joking around when it comes to fighting. I know Karate, and 7 other different Japanese words.

Silver Prime admits it! Gorillas and Kodiaks win!

 

[BudAshes]

Gorillas are friendly creatures that eat plants, I doubt they'd do much against a lion unless they had sticks. A couple sticks and the lions will run for it: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/human-planet/videos/stealing-meat-from-lions.htm. Don't try that against a kodiak bear though. As the superior animal to the lion they would just eat you.

 

[zinfamous]

what about 10,000 flea-sized Predators vs Lion?

 

[Nintendesert]

what about 10,000 flea-sized Predators vs Lion?

Are they armed with the Black Death or Lime disease?

 

[WelshBloke]

10,000 spoons vs 1 knife?

lol Let some other speices wielding guns for a hundred years shoot your kind, then see if you are reluctant to attack the person who you saw looks like the type/kind that killed your grandpapa.

Bet you would be weary.

And I hope you arnt too butt hurt in me getting the last word on B vs L.

I'm glad it was closed, there was no sense anyway, you wouldent have brought any direct evidence. Even more so on me last word.

mmm he he ha haa XD

 

[edro]

What if the lion is high on catnip?

 

[zinfamous]

10,000 spoons vs 1 knife?

are these Welsh rules for Knifey Spoony?

Obviously lions have genetic memory. Impressive. Now each generation can remember the ass kicking the Kodiak and Gorilla will give the lion.

 

[zinfamous]

Are they armed with the Black Death or Lime disease?

doubtful. But they are armed with shoulder-mounted lasers, wrist blades, and thermonuclear devices.

Its not genetic, its a re-acuring event. Oh? Thats why you failed to show just 1?

Ha!

You had your chance, and you missed it; so let it go.

No. You'll have to bring your own beer.

Thank you very much. What will you be drinking?

Hah, so you admit you fear my intellect and superior knowledge of zoology. Next time you won't be so lucky as to have the mods bail you out.
