Bears eat meat and are gigantic, gorillas usually just eat fruit and stuff. I'll take the gorilla.

Gorilla obviously. First of all Silverbacks are intelligent and you might actually be able to "reason" with it to a certain extent to hopefully avoid a fight altogether.

And if he did attack you, you might survive it. Grizzly would maul you in no time flat.

Actually grizzles eat mostly berry's and nuts, and then fish would be the only meat they eat. Mostly.

Silverbacks probably eat a bit of meat as well.

Your logic and argument went WAY out the door when you said "And if he did attack you, you might survive it." Are you serious? You MAY survive a gorilla attack?

hmm, dead vs. dead? The gorilla could kill me more quickly, so I choose gorilla. The bear might start eating me and take too long.

Gorilla might just rip your arms off and let you be...so it'd be like a slow bleed-out. Or it could just rip your head off or crush your skull. A chimp would do this as well, and probably more prone to attack than a Gorilla.

But yeah, the Grizzly would almost definitely toy with you and eat your brains and face slowly.

The one advantage is that the grizzly may lose interest, if it thinks you're already dead, and walk away. Shitting your pants might deter it, actually.

I think I'm going with Grizzly. :hmm:

I'll go with the bear.

Either one is drastically overpowered compared to a human. However, the bear has a smaller brain, and a lot of the gorilla's physical abilities overlap with our own - in short, what you can do, the gorilla can do just as well, if not better. The bear is lacking in certain respects, and that might give some sort of advantage.

In any case, I'd likely just seize up and do nothing at all.

yeah, I saw Anthony Hopkins kill a Kodiak with nothing more than a gigantic hand-crafted spear wedged into the ground behind him--the bear simply sliding onto it as it lunged forward to attack.

I don't think this simple tactic would work against a gorilla.

;)

I don't see an option for .454 Casull.

I usually go for the Grizzly Wintergreen Long Cut, but I've been known to get Mint once in a while.

Gorillas usually bluster and it's possible to outrun one. Yes, they are faster, but they do not have the stamina of a human. If you have a decent lead you can come out alive.

The bear eats you.

Grizzlies are the most powerful and vicious (at fighting) animal in the world. A grizzly can kill any other living creature (barring perhaps a massive whale? Drowning doesn't count...)

That said I don't think it matters as either a grizzly or gorilla would tear anyone apart.

A grizzly couldnt kill a rhino. Rhinos dont play games. They fucking charge your ass.

bloodninja: Ok baby, we got to hurry, I don't know how long I can keep it
ready for you.
j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u.
bloodninja: A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure.
j_gurli3: haha, ok lets go.
j_gurli3: i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck.
bloodninja: I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my
breeding territory.
j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on.
j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts.
j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass.
j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious.
bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to
charge your ass.
bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.
j_gurli3: thats it.
bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic
symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide
and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in
the air on my mighty horn.
bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.
