Silverback Gorilla vs Kodiak Bear

This is true.

I saw this on an episode about bears in discovery. Apparently, Grizzlys aren't afraid of shit and one adult male was destroying the local population of black bears like it was nothing. They had to hunt down the grizzly and relocate it because of how destructive it was being.

And you'd think it would have been the black ones destroying the neighborhood and bringing down property value. Go figure.

Edit: Damn it, that's totally not me or what I'm about, it's my father talking through me.

At first, I thought you were referring to typical black bear behavior.

When I read you edit, it still did not kick in because I thought that was some sort of familial prejudice against black bears...and that thought turned on the light bulb.

I just don't have it in me to be racist on the fly. 🙁

Gorilla is certainly smarter and may be stronger. I dont actually know how strong a bear would be, but I do know that gorilla's are supposed to be strong enough to rip people's arms clean off. The other great ape's musculature insertion is different from ours, they're all much much stronger in proportion, chimps are said to be 7 times stronger than humans and they're ridiculously tiny compared to gorillas. The gorilla should also have a better dexterity and very powerful jaw. I'll go with him.

I do not even know how that's possible. 45KG of force (I assume the acceleration vector is gravity?) All the time, people life far more than that, with one arm, in gyms.

Maybe a really really skinny person, 45Kg would pull the arm off.

Pound for pound, Chimps are said to be 2 to 8 times stronger than humans. They can outrace our fastest runners and jump 1/2 higher than the best human athletes. Their arm pull is also much stronger than ours.

I think Chimps are also proportionally much stronger than Gorillas though. And IIRC Orangutans are the strongest apes pound for pound.

Besides ripping the arm off a human and ripping the limbs off a f*cking Kodiak are entirely different.

I've never heard that about an orangutan.

But we do know from tests that Chimps are about twice as strong (ceiling limit), pound for pound, than a human.

http://www.slate.com/id/2212232/

Repeated tests in the 1960s confirmed this basic picture. A chimpanzee had, pound for pound, as much as twice the strength of a human when it came to pulling weights. The apes beat us in leg strength, too, despite our reliance on our legs for locomotion. A 2006 study found that bonobos can jump one-third higher than top-level human athletes, and bonobo legs generate as much force as humans nearly two times heavier.

I also highly doubt the facts and figures on most websites, touting orangutans as 7 times stronger than a human. Probably bullsh*t. If I were to guess, it would be closer to 2-3 times, pound for pound.

Also, the measures are always against "an active adult male." Obviously, that's misleading because a 160lb world class power-lifter is going to be many times stronger than an active adult male...and certainly stronger than most to all chimps of equivalant size...because chimps do not train to be the worlds strongest in their weight class.

But where are these figures about orangutans and gorillas? I've never read about their actual strength.

And those cinnamon rolls in my avatar look delicious.

That doesn't give us what we are looking for.

10 times stronger. Hmmm. Maybe?

But we do know that a male gorilla can be more than twice as large as a man, easily. The high end, 2.5 times as large, makes sense.

If we keep the chimps "double the strength, pound for pound" measure, then that nets us 5 times as strong as a man. That's probably much closer to "real" than 10 times.
