    I’m certainly no expert so I’d appreciate any Jane Goodall types that want to correct me, but aren’t almost all gorilla fights for dominance until someone backs down so no one gets too fucked up and rarely dies? Whereas polar bears kill to live.

    Also, gorillas may have a hell of a haymaker but polar bears have big nasty fuck you claws.

      Agreed I think it’d be pretty crazy fight. If it didn’t hurt the animals involved I’d pay-per-view it for sure. From what I read they fight for territory, family protection, securing a female and to keep their rank. However, I am not a gorilla expert but I did stay at a holiday and express once.
