RE: Tiger Vs Gorilla
A Silver-Back versus a Bengali Tiger? I'll bet anybody, in fact everybody here with 10 to 1 odds that if you put them both into a cage, the tiger will kill the gorilla VERY quickly. Tigers are carnivourous killing machines. That's ALL they do, apart from sleeping and making more tigers.
Gorillas are very smart and VERY strong, and yes they can be very fast, but they are not killing machines. They are primarily vegetarians as far as I know, and they have evolved differently from tigers, not as hunters. Gorillas don't stalk, they don't ambush their prey, unless you're talking about stalking the wild asparagus, and ambushing leaves and chutes.
There's my two cents. Happy now?
