Bengal Tiger - Panthera tigris tigris The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a tiger subspecies native to the Indian subcontinent that in 2010 has been classified as endangered by IUCN. The total population is estimated at fewer than 2,500 individuals with a decreasing trend, and none of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within the Bengal tiger's range is large enough to support an effective population size of 250 adult individuals. The Bengal tiger is the most numerous tiger subspecies with populations estimated at 1,520–1,909 in India, 440 in Bangladesh, 124–229 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan. Bengal is traditionally fixed as the typical locality for the binomial Panthera tigris, to which the British taxonomist Reginald Innes Pocock subordinated the Bengal tiger in 1929 under the trinomial Panthera tigris tigris.[Bengal Tigers are fully grown at 2-3 years of age. Male reach weights of 200-230 kilograms and up to three metres in length. The females are 130-170 kilograms and up to 2.5 meters long. They have stripes all over their body. Their stripes are like fingerprints. No two are the same. The stripes are not only in the tigers fur, but are a pigmentation of the skin. They have a white spot on the back of their ears,whick looks like eyes.  2 Eastern Gorillas - Gorilla beringei The eastern gorilla (Gorilla beringei) is a species of the genus Gorilla and the largest living primate. At present, the species is subdivided into two subspecies. The eastern lowland gorilla (G. b. graueri) is the most populous, at about 5,000 individuals. The mountain gorilla (G. b. beringei) has only about 700 individuals. The eastern gorilla is a large hominid with a large head, broad chest, and long arms. It has a flat nose with large nostrils. The face, hands, feet and breast are bald. The fur is mainly black, but adult males have a silvery "saddle" on their back. When the gorilla gets older, the entire fur becomes grayish, much like the gray hair of elderly people. This is why the older males are sometimes called Silverbacks. The eastern lowland gorilla has a shorter, thicker, deep black fur, while the mountain gorilla has a more bluish color. The mountain gorilla is slightly smaller and lighter than the eastern lowland gorilla, but still slightly larger than the western lowland gorilla. Males are much larger than females. A full-grown adult male Eastern gorilla weighs an average of 195 kg (430 lb) and stands 1.7 m (5.6 ft) upright and a female typically weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and stands 1.4 m (4.6 ft). The tallest silverback recorded was a 1.94-metre (6.4 ft) individual shot in Alimbongo, northern Kivu in May 1938. The heaviest gorilla recorded was a 1.83-metre (6.0 ft) silverback shot in Ambam, Cameroon which weighed about 266 kilograms (590 lb), although the latter area is within the range of the western gorilla, far outside that of the eastern gorilla.  _______________________________________________________________________________________

Honestly, I think the Tiger wins most of the time. While the Gorillas can exert their strength more easily and are better grapplers, and of course the intelligence advantage, but I just don't think they have the weaponry to kill the Tiger. The Tiger's claws are enormous, and could disembowel a Gorilla very easily. |

^I disagree. 2 gorillas have the edge IMO. One gorilla VS one tiger, it's pretty obvious but 2 gorillas are too much for a tiger to handle. Gorillas 8/10. |

Tiger wins gorillas can not dish out enough damage to kill the tiger before they are dead. |

^Are you serious. This is not one on one it's TWO on one. One could distract the tiger and one could attack. I hardly think the gorillas couldn't kill the tiger. Gorillas have enough intelligence to do that. |

It isn`t generally intelligence that wins a fight. The most 'intelligent' fighters, are the ones that fight without thinking. The thought process slows down reaction time... A tiger is agile, with razor sharp claws. I think the tiger might be able to take 2 gorillas. But, i think the fight will be hard fought on both sides. It won`t be an easy victory. |

@ Tigerkid How do you think the Gorilla's would kill the Tiger? They rarely ever bite. Hit it? That wouldn't would on an animal with the durability of a Tiger. One Gorilla aren't going to distract the Tiger, they aren't humans, animals do not fight by thinking, they fight with instincts. A single pawswipe of a Tiger with those razor-sharp claws could maul a Gorilla, not to mention his deadly bite. The Tiger would win 80% of the time IMO. Edited by Vodmeister, May 24 2012, 02:16 AM.

I'd give it to the Tiger even if it's two gorillas. If there's any primate I think could beat a Tiger or Lion face to face. It would be Giganotpithecus. |

The apes may be more aggressive, but since they don't have even remotely similar killing power to the tiger, that may do them more harm than good. I see the gorillas pushing the tiger a bit too far, and the tiger lashes out in fear. The damage one of those paw swipes could do to a great ape would be nauseating. The gorillas be seriously pissed off, and they'd start taking swings at the tiger, and they'd probably land a few blows. But that would either scare the tiger even more, or (even worse) piss it off, causing the tiger to go on the offensive. The only way I can see the apes being able to kill the tiger is if they manage to land a few bites on one of the tiger's limbs. And if they tried to do that, the tiger would just twist around and go to work at 'em with all three sets of claws and those 74 millimeter daggers it has for canines. The result: one or more of the gorillas would be flayed alive, or else have its skull or spine crushed by the tiger's 1,000+ lb bite force, long before the tiger loses its wind. Moral of the story: if you're one of the pound for pound weakest fighters in the animal kingdom, not even a buddy will help you dispatch a 200 kg stripey chainsaw.

How do you propose that the apes would kill the tiger? |

The apes have no way to kill the cat, so it will most likely maul one and chase the other off. |

The tiger cant attack 2 gorillas at the same time. If the tiger attacks one the other gorilla could very easily use it's hand to do some fatal things......... Gorillas aren't complete weaklings. |
