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…
If polar bear would fight in the jungle it would get hot and go to drink water. At that time it would be completelly open for suplex from the gorilla.
And if they were to fight on the ice sheet the gorilla would not have any trees where to hang tire swing and he would get depressed and unintrested to fight. So in the end it boils down to what kind of social services and safety nets are in the arctic and can they help primates like 1989 released Belgian techno anthem Pump up the jam can help humans.
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.
Polar bears are fucking massive. Not just in weight but everything. I give reach to the polar bear as well.
Some of the largest gorillas have a standing height of ~6 ft. A polar bears standing height is 10-11 ft. Their average shoulder height on four legs is 5ft. The bear out weighs a gorilla about 3-4x.
My money is on the bear. The gorilla would probably land some good hits but the second the bear can pin down its movement that fight is over.

I think it depends where they fight.

Philomena Cunk fan by any chance?

The next issue is training. Gorilla has none and the bear fights naturally.
Gorillas fight a fair amount so to say they have no training isn’t correct.
The polar bear preys on animals heavier than a gorilla…
Mountain gorillas are definitely not fat.
