Don't gorillas get taken out by jaguars though?
I know jaguars have a stronger bite force but pound for pound I'm pretty sure lions are stronger.
Idk I just feel like it's a decent match up.
Maybe I'm underestimating their speed. I just vtcan't imagine how a single jaguar gets the chance TO bite. I'm just imagining one punch from the silverback, and it's OVER.
Maybe the jaguar has enough speed to surprise the gorilla, and if they bite the throat maybe thats enough. But I just don't see the bite ever actually happening.
I think you might be over estimating the force of a gorilla punch. I mean don't get me wrong gorillas have ridiculous strength and can do some serious damage with just a few hits.
But lions aren't exactly glass cannons. They can take a few hits before quitting/dying. I mean they deal with things like wildebeests after all.
The context of the fight would definitely be a major factor though.
I agree with you on your two points.
I wonder if the gorilla would be crippling the lions limbs by sheer brute force. Throwing, yanking them out of sockets, twisting and squeezing them. The lion would fight like any house cat. And the gorilla would respond like we do when playing with our house cat. Gorillas would want to hurt and stop the attacks and that means huge amounts of force. Force they are capable of.
