Is a Gorilla Powerful Enough to Take Down a Lion?

Lions and gorillas are two creatures that roam parts of Africa. Both of them could easily dispatch human beings and other animals alike with insurmountable strength, speed, and natural weapons to attack and defend. Unlike some theoretical fights between creatures, a gorilla and a lion could run into each other where their ranges meet. Our fight would take place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a place where lions live in the transitional area between tropical rainforest and savannah, and gorillas live in the rainforests. What would happen if a hungry lion and an enraged silverback gorilla met to fight for the title of the true ‘King of the Jungle’? We’ve broken down the most useful information needed to determine who comes out on top after this fight.
