![]() ![]() ![]() Point 1: “But the Grizzly Bear is bigger” I knew I needed to liberate my fellow Gorilla patriots by completely debunking every fallacious Grizzly Bear talking point. This hypothetical was truly of utmost importance to so many people. ![]() I saw the passion in the eyes of the participants of these debates, both my proponents and opponents. My AP Lang class turned to a shouting match, my AP Euro class was heated gridlock. I became a vehicle of this debate, spreading it to every class I went into. The muscle to size ratio of the creature. I began to study the silverback gorilla, and I was amazed. After all, the bear is bigger and has claws. In a hypothetical fight to the death, who would win: a silverback gorilla or a grizzly bear? My initial reaction was the bear. It started in my AP Environmental Science class. An internal divide that has threatened to rip my mental health and social life into two. Countless sleepless nights of introspection. In Defense of the Gorilla (Alex Eastland) Any way you choose to look at it, the grizzly bear dominates this hypothetical scenario. But even with a gorilla’s most strategic punch, a grizzly bear could easily take it, and pounce back much harder than the gorilla ever could in its wildest dreams.Īfter looking at the evidence, it is simply inconceivable as to how one could even imagine a gorilla coming out on top without significantly diminishing the grizzly bear’s worth. They are no small creatures and can certainly hold their own in most physical encounters. It is true that the gorilla is more worthy than a human in this regard. Intelligence isn’t the only thing you need in a fight brute force is also a necessity. If you throw a human into an arena with no external help from tools, they will still get absolutely demolished. Think about it this way humans are significantly more intelligent than gorillas. However, even that intelligence is not enough to overcome the sheer brute force of the grizzly bear. It is a fact that the gorilla is significantly more intelligent than his opponent. The most common defense that gorilla supporters will use is that the gorilla is simply smarter than the grizzly bear. And one does not dare challenge the knowledge of Neil deGrasse Tyson. Even Neil deGrasse Tyson accepts and advocates for this truth. That’s not even taking the creature’s claws into account, which would brutally tear apart the gorilla. This alone should be enough for most people to accept that the grizzly bear would easily win. Immediately, the odds are stacked heavily against the gorilla, before the opponents even lock eyes. A quick Google search will inform you that the average male grizzly bear weighs an astronomical 600 pounds, while the average male gorilla is only a puny 350 pounds. To even begin with a debate as critically important as this, one must first consider the cold, hard facts. Today I’m here to firmly defend our stance that in this hypothetical scenario, that the grizzly bear would undeniably come out victorious. We may be the minority, but we can be satisfied in the knowledge that we are correct. Alex Eastland can preach all he wants about needing to “liberate” his fellow gorilla believers, but the truth dictates that they aren’t the ones that need liberation. Only 32% of our audience understood that the grizzly bear would easily dominate the gorilla, with the majority siding with the gorilla. Personally, I was quite displeased with the results. Eventually, the argument reached its peak, and we posted a poll on our Instagram page to settle it. It all started off with a simple question: Who would win in a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly bear? It was a matter of mere minutes before this became one of the most ridiculous and heated debates I’ve ever seen in a classroom. The CCES News staff has broken out into a full-blown civil war. ![]()
