A gorilla's arms could also break a human femur Ok, this is a 50/50.

it will be more relevant to giant gelda fight though, please present it there Well there was a scene from this show, Orangutan Island, where a teenage orangutan lifted up a log 1 armed to use a bridge to cross a moat. Later, a grown man struggled to budge the log. Based off that you can imagine how strong a prime adult orangutan, never mind a silverback gorilla could be when fully angered. They could easily pick up and throw the log.

I see the Gorilla beating the smaller Komodo Dragon and beating his fragile skull in. That being said, it would have to be careful not to get bit because there is a high chance of that happening. It's hard to tackle an animal like a Komodo Dragon without dying afterwards.

Well, if the Komodo Dragon was going after a member of the silverback's family, then the silverback would definitely have to fight the lizard off.

Really the only way the monitor lizard could kill the gorilla is if it landed a good bite somewhere and thus causing a large wound. As long as that happens, the gorilla could soon die from infection/intoxication, but the dragon isn't really all that heavily-built and could easily be killed in a face-to-face confrontation. Aside from the case of very small prey items, the jaws of Komodo dragon were not really structured for killing powerfully or quickly; they were quite gracile, their teeth were rather small (despite being very sharp and serrated, designed for cutting), and the bite force was very sufficient.

I just came on to this thread and felt the need to register as there's a lot of misinformation on it. First - the komodo dragon has no "venom" and it doesn't "act" like a snake's venom would. It's simply horrific bacteria from their incredibly horrid diet (which is basically whatever they can eat). There are pockets of wild dragons and captive dragons that do not have these issues - and henceforth do not have a deadly bite due to their "venom" (which is just a boatload of bacteria in their mouth that will infect its prey when bitten).
That also said - not every animal dies from the bacteria. It would depend on the severity of the bite, whether or not the animal "gets clean" over time, the health of the animal, etc etc.
Not commenting on the fight scenario because I don't know or care - but just felt I should point that out.

I thought everyone by now would acknowledge the bacteria theory has been debunked, but apparently (and sadly) it's not.

I see the Gorilla smashing the Komodo Dragon's skull and throwing it like it's an action figure, but dying later after venom. There is a video where a gorilla threw a chimp but not the way you described. But yeah, I don't see a gorilla seriously engaging a komodo dragon (or any other predator) unless it felt the latter was a serious threat to its family.

I think a chimp is easier to throw than a komodo dragon.
BTW, welcome back rhino.

Hey bud. It's nice to be back.
That's what I meant. A gorilla didn't easily fling the chimp aside like a toy so it can't do the same to a heavier, low slung animal like this lizard.

how can most of you thank the gorilla will win? It's far heavier and very different from most of the stuff the dragon encounters

The gorilla can stomp on the Komodo dragon and tear it apart
