Is a silverback gorilla stronger than a Kodiak bear?

Answer 1

No gorilla can compete with a grizzly bear in terms of strength. Grizzlies, in addition to being 2-4 times heavier than a gorilla, are apex predators whose bodies are designed to provide them with the power to kill large prey animals and battle potential rivals. One swipe from their huge paws is enough to crush the spine of a bison or moose, and the animals have been observed to drag their prey over great distances before eating it. Although gorillas are the biggest and strongest of the extant primates and are quite formidable when compared to humans, their strength is no match for that of the North American grizzly bear.

Answer 2

Gorillas are not stronger than any bear, it would be a close fight because of the bear's claws and teeth, but a gorilla also has a strong bite, and thumbs on its hands and feet which are useful for fighting, plus the fact that they are smarter than any bear, ultimately the gorilla will win 9 out of 10 times

However the average polar bear is 9 feet tall when standing on it's hind legs and easily outweighs the largest gorilla in the world by 400 to 500 pounds. The bear also has claws are as long as daggers, ranging from 6 to 8 inches in length. It would NOT be a close fight due to the fact that bears are easily just as fast as gorillas and are natural predators. Bear wins easily

The above is an absurd answer.

A Male Kodiak bear can weigh 1200 lbs and measure up to 12-14 feet tall.

I Male Silver back (a really big one) weighs only 600lbs and is 5' 3" tall.

A Kodiak bear can kill a Bull Moose and drag into a mile into the forest.

A Kodiak can run 45 mph -- It's faster than Tigers

Answer 3

The domicility of Silverback and anaconda are countries thousand miles apart, thus reducing the chances for a natural combat to establish the stronger of the two to zero. However, if one imagines putting the two together, Anaconda with the heavy long body, sustenance, speed and constrictive power can crush the silverback despite injuring itself from the latter's bites.
