Had an argument with a guy at work as to whether a polar bear could beat a gorilla. He could not be persuaded that a 600kg apex predator would fuck up what is basically a fat guy who eats flowers...
Say what you want this is is an interesting thought, although the polar bear would most likely win because of its sheer mass. The gorilla has a lot going for it. A silverback can get to almost half that weight and has a greater bite force, intelligence, agility, and reach. They can also throw punches of up to 2300 lbs of force, which could easily break a bone or skull.
The bear is in the foreground and the boat in the background, with probably at least 1.5-2m difference. Im aware polar bears are massive, but this image skews the relative size of the bear to seem larger than it actually is.
Also, have you seen a wet polar bear? They look significantly smaller when the fur is not fluffed.
