However, even that intelligence is not enough to overcome the sheer brute force of the grizzly bear. It is a fact that the gorilla is significantly more intelligent than his opponent. The most common defense that gorilla supporters will use is that the gorilla is simply smarter than the grizzly bear. And one does not dare challenge the knowledge of Neil deGrasse Tyson. Even Neil deGrasse Tyson accepts and advocates for this truth. That’s not even taking the creature’s claws into account, which would brutally tear apart the gorilla. This alone should be enough for most people to accept that the grizzly bear would easily win. Immediately, the odds are stacked heavily against the gorilla, before the opponents even lock eyes. A quick Google search will inform you that the average male grizzly bear weighs an astronomical 600 pounds, while the average male gorilla is only a puny 350 pounds. To even begin with a debate as critically important as this, one must first consider the cold, hard facts. Today I’m here to firmly defend our stance that in this hypothetical scenario, that the grizzly bear would undeniably come out victorious. We may be the minority, but we can be satisfied in the knowledge that we are correct. Alex Eastland can preach all he wants about needing to “liberate” his fellow gorilla believers, but the truth dictates that they aren’t the ones that need liberation. Only 32% of our audience understood that the grizzly bear would easily dominate the gorilla, with the majority siding with the gorilla. Personally, I was quite displeased with the results. Eventually, the argument reached its peak, and we posted a poll on our Instagram page to settle it. It all started off with a simple question: Who would win in a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly bear? It was a matter of mere minutes before this became one of the most ridiculous and heated debates I’ve ever seen in a classroom. The CCES News staff has broken out into a full-blown civil war.
