I've noticed when gorillas fight eachother it's very similar to how bears fight, they have a similar grappling and biting style, they also have a similar kind of intensity about them when they fight.

Yet most people still think gorillas fight like King Kong and other fictional gorillas but in reality, they do not.

To be fair it's not like they're fighting dinosaurs like in the 2005 movie lol, they're fighting a fellow gorilla so the rules might differ a bit. But yeah they generally fight like bears, which to me is just as scary, because the way they fight is very intense and like bears they are solid grapplers. They can rip apart flesh with their teeth once the enemy is on the ground just like bears.

Even as a possibility to be able to fight like fictional characters (i.e. King Kong), I don't think so. Gorillas may fight differently depending on what kind of animals that confronted them, but to fight like King Kong I think is out of the realm of possibility. Bears fight the same regardless of the kind of the animals. Wrestle, wrestle, wrestle, bite, bite, bite. Reply
