Lets say you took every land animal in the world and had a round robin style tournament in a stadium the size of a soccer field. It is a fight to the death.
What animal wins this tournament?
A mole
It will stage a tactical retreat underground and starve its opponent out

Was it not? What about Human Centipede???
PS- oops, my bad
The answer is father time. All the contestants would die off before this tournament was completed if the battles went 1 at a time.
ok well bull elephants are over 20,000 pounds so thats insane but would it really beat a silverback? They are extremely explosive with low centers of gravity so they are incredibly fast in short spaces. I just don't see how the elephent kills the gorilla, i think the gorrilla could slowly beat down the elephant
is grizzly or bear vs gorilla the greatest match up though? both are extremely strong and fast
Silverbacks are formidable, but a grizzly would be bigger, stronger, AND has claws and a vicious bite.
Naked mole rats

But the gorilla is smarter. The bear will not fight to the death it will retreat when scared. The gorilla will relentlessly attack anything to maintain dominance.

Underrated dumb post. You don't know how an elephant would beat something 1/40th its size?

Is that smarter?

Elephant wraps its trunk around the gorilla, squeezes it until ribs break and organs rupture then slams it on the ground like its swatting ants. That give you the mental image you were unable to conjure on your own?

In this gladiator scenario, yes.
A Goat is the GOAT.
Can't have it both ways. Either this is a fight to the death where neither party has the ability to retreat or it's akin to the wild where the bear could run away. You chose the former so the bear wins over the silverback.
Jack Hannah was once asked who would win in a fight between a gorilla, grizzly and a tiger.
He said you could team the gorilla and the grizzly against the tiger and the tiger would kill them both in minutes.
There's your answer.

Would it? Are you insane? The heaviest elephant tusk ever recorded weighed 200lbs .. so two tusks can be the weight of a silverback, and are also much longer than the gorilla is tall.
A 10 ton bull elephant would compare to a gorilla as you housecat compares to adult Amur Tiger.

"grizzly or bear"??
A large male brown (grizzly) bear would outweigh the gorilla by a factor of 3-4 times. They're stronger, and better armed. Not even close.
