  Bears are no slouches in the smart department either.

  The smartest person in the world would lose a fight to a bear in the woods. The bear is a car with claws and thick hide trying to kill you.

  +1 to gorillas and no one else considering the intellect part.

  Like, guys. Humans are weak. We rule the world.

  I think bear can win on brute force, but, as soon as the gorilla sees the attack for what it is and considers a way to counter, the bear is toast.

    And I think most people are discrediting how smart bears are and over stating how smart gorillas are. They are not going to the fight with a spear or anything. And considering bears can be hard to take down quickly even with a gun. Yah gorilla doesn’t stand a chance.

    I don’t think intellect would get you very far.

    Eg. I’m a lot smarter than most bears, but I’m pretty sure that I’d still lose in a fight.

      You’re a lot weaker than every gorilla, though.

      That matters.
