Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
because of a Gorilla's increased intelligence compared to a Bear, I do wonder if it'd be possoble to train a gorilla in bear fighting techniques, turning him into a kind of primate dragon-slayer?. do Gorillas have the ability to turn their brain and tool-using abilities to the martial arts like Gorilla Fu, or even to some kind of gorrilkenjustu? i don't know if you could find a guy badass enough to actually train the gorilla, though. maybe a robot could do it??

were bears ever around sabre tooth tigers

cuz I think those teeth could get through the bear`s muscle and fat and tear up some vitals

we need a time machine, pronto

In a recent study, the mass of six specimens was estimated, one-third of them weighed about 900 kg (1 short ton), the largest being UVP 015 at 957 kg (2,110 lb), suggesting specimens that big were probably more common than previously thought.[2] It stood 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) tall on hind legs[7] while a large specimen would have been 11–12 feet (3.4–3.7 m) tall with a 14-foot (4.3 m) vertical arm reach, and 5–6 feet (1.5–1.8 m) high at the shoulder when walking on all fours, it was tall enough to look a man in the eye.[8][9][10] At Riverbluff Cave, Missouri, a series of claw marks up to 15 feet (4.57 m) high have been found along the cave wall indicating Short-faced bears over 12 feet (3.65 m) tall.[11][12]

Short faced bears were badass.

Yeah Bear would just walk away and eat berries and the gorilla would scuttle or lope or whatever the gently caress they do away and wrestle his gay gorilla buddies, touching dicks together and poo poo.

ASK ME ABOUT CROSSING THE STREAMS


Ddraig posted:

The two animals circled one another in the cage before Parnell once again pounced and sunk his teeth into Ramadan’s neck. Again the bear responded by hugging his opponent with all his might. The lion’s teeth sunk deeper. In response, the grizzly’s grip grew tighter. To those in attendance it was unclear which of the beasts would give in first. Then, without warning, the lion let go and bellowed out a roar of pain, the bear’s hold so tight that one observer remarked, “I could almost hear the bones cracking.” Ramadan then grabbed Parnell with “a beautiful half Nelson that would have done credit to a professional wrestler” and hurled the lion.

Parnell turned a complete somersault in the air before landing on his feet in the center of the cage. Recovering quickly, the lion circled and attacked Ramadan from the rear. The bear, showing agility not seen up to this point, turned, grabbed the lion, and lifted him into the air. With Parnell’s head dangling, Ramadan began squeezing and shaking the feline as if it weighed the same as a house cat. Ramadan then lifted his opponent into the air and threw him against the side of the cage.

that had to be a dog sized bear or something because an adult grizzly could have just pushed him into the ground with his weight and bit that arm off while it disemboweled him with its hind legs and its forelegs ripped his torso in half

Also, even if it was a full grown grizzly, Petersen probably benefited from having some basic biological knowledge, and knowing that headlock=K.O.=time bought to beat an unconscious bear to death.

I doubt a gorilla would know more than "beat thing with all might till thing stop move"
