If it’s Flair inside the Gorilla I’m changing my answer.

I'm gonna go with Cruise, he's got the focus, is in great shape, and let's face it, he probably has laser beams for eyes!

I reckon lion vs gorilla would have been a fairer match-up. A grizzly will win against every land animal except elephant, rhino and hippo.

Or maybe the rhino/hippo to a grizzly is like a water buffalo to a lion.

How?
The Tuna “will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp and will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It's not gonna be days at a time. An hour? Hour forty-five? No problem. That will give the tuna enough time to figure out where the bear lives, go back to the sea, get some more oxygen, and stalk the bear… The bear is now out gunned and out-manned.”


Originally this concept was explored be wild animal researchers in the scientifically accurate film “the Other Guys” in which Tuna established this method to hunt lion after eating one and acquiring a taste for it off the coast of Africa but I believe MILGAUSS88 is correct in that it could be adopted for bear. And by researchers I mean to NYPD detectives threatening each other. And by scientifically accurate I mean an absolute work of fiction.

Grizzly, better equipped for a fight.
Gorrila has raw force only.

I think the Grizzly will eventually win in this fight

If you're counting the votes for Flair in a gorilla suit as votes for the gorilla, the bear's gonna challenge the results in court.

If it goes to Judge Beth Freeman’s courtroom the bear will lose.

Polar bears are known to retreat in most cases when encountering a Grizzly bear in overlapping territory. Even though Polar bears are known to be more aggressive and carnivore focused, they avoid Grizzly bears for some reason.

What about a full grown hippo? This one is obvious as hippos are just fat death dealers running around.

What about a full grown giraffe? Seems silly but these things are no joke...

We also forget how vulnerable these big animals are. A king cobra could kill just about any animal with 1 bite (if it gets to bite before it is killed).

Nature is crazy...

Grizz hands down. At least twice the weight and wouldn’t even need to use teeth.claws would suffice.

There’s an internet story, urban legend, myth that I remember where a grizzly supposedly decapitated a moose with a single swing. The original story is attributed to a Russian miner in Alaska in the late 1800s. Not sure I believe that but I do believe a bear is probably the only thing in a Moose’s natural environment that could kill it one on one. Those things are huge. Google “bear decapitates moose with one swing” for a lively internet debate.
