There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

What do you think is the minimum size required for a Leopard to take on a Gorilla?


Do you think the large males of Kruger and Sabi Sands may be able to take on Silverback?

Gorilla's are tough to gauge, I have very little examples of their fighting abilities to go off of.
If a Silver back Gorilla is engaged in an actual fight for it's life and not looking to intimidate or being fearful aggressive, I see no reason why it shouldn't manhandle a Leopard. They are twice the size with huge canines but I'm not sure they know how to use their mass correctly against a cat, I think they try to get rid of the attacking feline as opposed to subduing it. I actually think a large, well trained human would put a better fight all things being equal.
