Enough political blathering, I want your opinion on a debate of epic stature that has been plauging my office of intelligence weenies at work for nigh on two weeks now. That of, who would win in a fight between a fully grown adult male Silverback Gorilla and a fully grown adult male African Lion?
Both specimens are considered to be of prime size for their species, that is, about 450-500 lbs each. No need to bring up the absurdity of if they would fight or ever encounter one another in nature. This is a pitfight! (and for sake of arument lets say theyve been starved for a few days, and maybe prodded with some pointy sticks to get them riled up).
Who wins? Gorilla has the intelligence and reach advantage, but lion has the speed?
My thought is that the lion would attack from behind like they are wont to do, and while inflicting bleeding wounds on the gorilla, king kong would throw him off with one arm and break the lion's spine with blunt trauma.
Badass.
Pussycat.
