In absolutely no scenario does the gorilla not just obliterate the koala bear. I don’t understand how you think they might even be a little matched in strength?
Comment on Who would win in a fight, a Gorilla or a Bear of equal weight?

I strongly believe a Bear would easily win.
It has stronger Attack and Defence.
It has massive claws and will shred open a gorilla’s unprotected skin with it’s claws and teeth.
A gorilla has very little in terms of defence and that will be its downfall, it also only really has its teeth to attack with, and a Bear has thick skin to protect against that.
I don’t see how a Gorilla could deal a fatal blow to a bear before the bear would rip deep wounds into a Gorilla with it’s claws and teeth causing it to bleed out.

I could see a gorilla choking a bear out though, the bear isn’t going to be able to strangle the gorilla from behind.

Do… gorillas choke out anything in the wild? I feel like training either animal in Krav Maga or Ninjutsu puts your thumb on the scale.

I don’t know, but they’re physically capable of it. I once had an anthropology professor who demonstrated the difference between simian-like arms and quadruped-like arms, and the major part of it was noting that you’ve never seen a cat spread their arms out like the Vetrivian Man (they can’t). In the evaluation of ape vs. bear combat I don’t want to discount the capability of the ape to grasp, latch on or choke.

I don’t think primates choke at all in the wild, and I don’t think it’ll be the most effective method either.
When your opponent has claws and long teeth waiting for them to pass out while they dig their claws into you might not be the best strategy

Bears are also surpsingly muscular and have very thick hides
