Silver Back Gorilla VS. the King of the Jungle



OK Lion, time to prove you deserve that crown.

It's fight night - now, the Lion has basically two options, since he has no opposable thumbs, he can either attempt to bight the Gorilla or bash him with one of his ferocious paws possibly inflicting some serious damage with his claws. If the Lion did try to bight the Gorilla and if he actually managed to get his teeth around something he better pray that he got the Gorilla's throat because if not then it is game over. As soon as the alleged King of the Jungle gets close enough the Gorilla would grab the Lion like a child, rip it free of it's toothy grip, and smash it into the earth! The Gorilla is so strong and the wide range of motion provided by his humanistic limbs makes this for quick KO if not a blatant maiming. Even if the mighty Gorilla didn't kill the Lion when he crushed his body he could still hold him down with one arm and bight the Lion with his powerful jaws delivering the fatal wounds.

Now I don't want to short change the Lion, he is a powerful beast and definitely a formidable foe for most other animals...but having the limited motion joints and being a quadruped with no thumbs really sets this guy back when facing the Gorilla. Even if the Lion charged the Gorilla full speed the Gorilla would still be able to take the hit, recover, and smash. Wouldn't even be hard. I actually laughed out loud when I considered the Lion having a chance. So shut your mouth Chris Gardner Will Smith, Silver Back is king.
