I get that a gorilla is more likely to stand his ground, especially if it’s a silverback and he sees the bear as a threat to his pack. But I see the scenario where the bears deems it not worth it and leaves more as a “fight not happening” rather than “gorilla wins the fight”. Since the question implies a fight is taking place, I’d exclude this scenario and assume they must fight tooth and nail. And if that happens, I bet on the bear.
Comment on Who would win in a fight, a Gorilla or a Bear of equal weight?

Gorilla, the bear isn’t going to be used to something fighting back and is more likely to flee when attacked.
The gorilla is going to be territorial and flight harder when attacked.

Bears fight other bears in the wild all the time. They are predictors and hunt and kill all the time. Elk etc. Do fight back, they just don’t stand much of a chance.
Gorilla’s are herbivores

Depends on the type of bear I think. Brown bears might stand a chance, though most will probably f off.

I man that’s a lot of assumptions. In that case, throw some cubs in there and the bear would fight to the death.
