Comment on Who would win in a fight, a Gorilla or a Bear of equal weight?
AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 week agoI don’t think primates choke at all in the wild, and I don’t think it’ll be the most effective method either.
When your opponent has claws and long teeth waiting for them to pass out while they dig their claws into you might not be the best strategy

We are primates, and when we put all the martial arts together (MMA) it turns into a match of who can get on top of and neutralize their opponent. A bear doesn’t have any way of attacking a primate if the primate can get to its back. As a human, we wouldn’t have the dexterity or strength to get around, cling onto a bear and choke it out, but a bear-sized gorilla probably could and once it does that it’s neutralized every mode of attack the bear has except writhing around and pushing it into other objects.

Can you even choke out a bear? I mean I know technically it’s possible but I would imagine their neck is a little more protected then ours.

If MMA fighters had big jaws with teeth, and long sharp claws I don’t think wrestling would remain the best tactic.
Your opponent isn’t just going to turn their back on you, and if you try and grab them they can bite and hold on to you, and start clawing open deep wounds.
