Gigantopithecus doesnt even have sharp canines like gorillas have and it may have been more like an orangutan anyways. I only would favor the ape if it was double the weight of the bear. At equal weights, bear 9/10.

At equal weights, bear 9/10. The gigantopithecus is on average twice the weight of a grizzly. It's a mismatch in favor of the great ape.

Gigantopithecus was not likely twice the weight of the grizzly. 1200 pounds is a high estimate and some say that the ape may have only been the size of a large gorilla. Grizzlies also show high variation in size. Some populations or subspecies average close to a half ton.

a coastal brown bear against a gigantopithecus would be debatable.
but the average grizzly is too small if you ask me.

IIRC, the guy who made this (and I usually go with what he says because he is able to give out strongly supported explanations that are worthy of merit) stated the Gigantopithecus would actually be ~200-300kg like that^. Still the largest primate, but if this scale is correct, this is a curbstomp. An inland grizzly would maul the ape ~97% of the time at parity, no need for a coastal one which I assume is loosely in the ballpark of being 100% heavier.

Yeah if the ape is really that small then the bear would easily win.

I don't even care about animal vs animal topics anymore much. Just lost all interest long ago. But thanks for the picture. I think a coastal bear would probably beat a gigantopithecus. I don't know about inland bears though.

Hey, if that's how you feel, that's quite alright. Honestly, while I'm still interested, I don't think I should be.

Thanks man. I just comment from time to time if I have anything to add.
Speaking of bears, I was playing as Kuma in Tekken tag the other day lol.

The gigantopithecus may be smaller than what we used to know it as but we all know that the ape could just pick up a gun and shoot the bear, I know that this is definitely a logical fact after watching Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Well according to animal planet's most extreme, the gorilla was 2 places higher than a bear. A bear is weaker than a gorilla so therefore it is weaker than a gigantopithecus.
I was trolling.

Someone actually did slam a chimpanzee with a large stick to save his friend, who was being attacked. If I recall, the chimp was dazed temporarily but not seriously injured. If he did that to a bear though I don't know if he'd be alive to tell the tale. :/ I did it the other day and I lived to tell the tale.

I notice that many posters reply that the average grizzly is too small. In reality, there is no such animal as the "average grizzly". The size of a grizzly depends on his environment; especially food availability. That is why today's inland grizzlies, all of which live in harsh food-poor locations, are smaller than those living in coastal regions where they feed heavily on protein-rich salmon. Grizzlies of the American west were often huge due to the abundance of bison and feral cattle. I have recently read of grizzlies in the Sierra Nevada that were the size of Kodiaks - early 1800s. Rhino says: Well according to animal planet's most extreme, the gorilla was 2 places higher than a bear. A bear is weaker than a gorilla so therefore it is weaker than a gigantopithecus.
Animal Planet very often puts out pseudo information. No way does a gorilla have a strength advantage over a grizzly.

Grizzly bear because it can easily tear apart the gigantopithecus
