Lion 450 lbs, gorillas 400 lbs each = no contest, lion might be lucky to take out 1-2 gorillas due to it hunter/killer nature, but noway in hell it can take out 3 or more angry gorillas.
Lion? Meh. It's not even the world's biggest extant felid hahaha.. Amur tigers for the win.
Lion or Siberian tiger all the same, the gorillas would win. The biggest of the cats are strong, but pound for pound I'd bet gorillas are the strongest mammals out lol..
Until you can show documentation in the wild, staged fights are just that. Staged. They have no realistic prediction of a healthy animal in a fight.
Theres 6 occaisons so far, yet almost all of them consisted of female lions losing and it states in the text that the lion didn't even have time to defend him/her self, on the other hand most of the bears that lost were males as stated the combatants had a male name, not to mention the fights had some with both combatants semi-aware and both agknowledged the fight on equal terms:

Like I said, the score cards favors the lion, the substance in the fights so far presented favours the lion, the accounts favor the lion, the historical oaccisons they met favours the lion, the statistics favor the lion.
Only a slight weight advantage is in favor for the bear, which is useless since its not significant, and is disputed by the fact lions kill animals more powerful, stronger and heavier by 2-6 times fold.
They have the title as a individual status, like comparing yao ming to the average white guy, but...lions are larger on average:

Tigers average 350 pounds as a speices, lions 409; the tiger has the title as the longest cat alive, the lion the tallest cat alive, the tiger has the title as heaviest, though only by a mere few kilos, since Jaipur the worlds largest tiger fluctuated from 930-1025 pounds while Sultan owned by Johnson fluctuated from 900-1,000...on any given fully stuffed day of eating 20% of there fill either or lion or tiger could have out-weighed the other.
Also, lions are the largest cat in terms mass, even at near parity Sultan would look 40% larger then jaipur since sultan had a barbary-like mane that extends to the belly and increases his overall mass, african lions are basically at a stale mate with bengal and siberians upoun the last century, while even asiatic lions are around 100-200 pounds heavier than the rest of the 6 tiger sub-speices.
The heavist gorilla was 809, vs lion 1,000, vs tiger 1025...doesn't matter really, only prime states should be used which as gorillas rarely reach 500, they stay around 250-350; 400 is large and 500 is rare, while lions 409 is average, 550 is large; and 600 pound is prime, since many 600 pound lions are documented I would say its not rare, 690 was the largest accepted but a game wardens locker book states a 750 pound lion shot once, not hard to belive since 800 pound lions are quite abundent in captivity.
Pound for pound?
Leopards kill gorillas

I'd back a very large chimp over a average gorilla at near parity since chimps are very agressive and gorillas are some what peaceful animals.
Kodiak bear is 1500lbs. How is that a slight weight advantage?
Before you say I'm wrong just take a look at bart the bear. He was about 10 feet tall and 1500 lbs. Looked like he was in pretty good shape too.

There are subspecies of lion also. The species average is simply higher for lions since there is little difference in mass between. Amur tigers are a lot larger than Sumatran tigers, but white lions are similar in size to more usual tawny coloured lions. The fact remains of all big cat subspecies currently living, the Amur/Siberian tiger is the largest.
This feels a little dirty, you peeping at my profile and all.
So the biggest lion ever is 500lbs lighter than a kodiak bear at it's lightest. IMDB has bart at 1700+ lbs. Looks like I win again.
A Prime Kodiak is 850 as it states the Kodiak bears mean weight is 835, not lean, but mean; as its prime... not average,...
Title of thread is "Pack of 10 gorillas..." as in a pack of wolfs, etc..., hence I say they work together as Gorillas vs. Lion. And, this is an unlikely scenario in the real world because they live in different environments.What makes you think the gorillas will work together as a team?
Show some documentation where they cooperate with one another to fend off any intruder/predator in those amounts of 10 at a time...show something that supports that gorillas work together when fighting.
Other wise I can just assume the gorillas will esculate there anger, attack and kill off each other on sight, since its a priorty not to have an abundent of males in the same encloser, the fight in this small cage will have around 5 or so brawling it out while 2 running up trees, 1 avoiding conflict by running around the arena in fear and the lion persuing the last for a quick kill.
Slowly they'd kill each other off while 1 at a time the lion will have his share as well...since theres no time limit, looks like the lion will have a stash of fresh gorilla meat to keep up his vitality until he is the only one in the cage remaining.
LOL. Hilarious. Mean=prime. He has a more tenuous grasp on English than previously thought.Mean means average. They aren't saying that's it's grouchy weight.

He wasn't getting the attention he wanted on other forums I guess.
Keep it going fellas.
Thats a poor opinion at best.
