Head up battleAgainst a animal that uses stealth and agility..
Are we going by a head up battle, or are we referring to animals in their natural setting.
Its easier for a lion to sneak up and gain the advantage on a gorilla regardless of its strength.
Lion vs Silverback Gorilla: who would win?

I just looked that shyt up and that's false.
Yes there are incidents where a leopard will kill a gorilla but you made it sound like they are a natural predator of silverbacks which is false.
"It may surprise you to learn that gorillas don’t really have any predators to worry about on a regular basis. However, there are times when they have problems with other gorillas or even various types of wild cats."
"Generally the wild cats know that they aren’t going to be a match for the strength of the gorillas. Still, that wont’ stop them from snatching a young one that has wondered too far from its mother or one that is too sick to fight. Leopards seem to be very bold when it comes to trying to get a meal that consists of a young gorilla."
"Amazingly enough, gorillas will use weapons that they make against predators. They can sharpen sticks with their teeth and they will use them to fight with. They are also known to throw heavy rocks at predators in an attempt to get them to run away. These abilities are very interesting to researchers as this is part of their learned behaviors and certainly not the result of the instinct to survive."
You underestimate the silverback.
where did i say they are natural predators
? That's a direct quote from a documentary, you're gonna refute what the doc said with no sources
. A lion is so much more massive than a Leopard, if a Leopard has the ability to kill a Gorilla at 201lbs, a 420lbs male Lion would go hamNah breh, get this logic outta here.
Can't you see that these brehs wanna believe a gorilla would be about as defenseless as a deer?
Didn't you know that the silverback would instantly drop dead after the first swipe?
Leopards hunt injured and young gorilla, they don't fukk with full grown, healthy gorillas.where did i say they are natural predators
And lions and other wild cats wouldn't attack a gorilla.
Do some research breh. A lion would not just go ham on a fukking gorilla.
And for that matter
A healthy silverback will murder a leopard.
This what I was tryna say.
The gorilla might have all the tools to kill a lion, but it never or rarely ever works on them.
Whereas a lion is working on his literally a few weeks after its born.
It would be like putting an athletic freak with zero training in a one on one game against KD.

Think about this, a female 100 lbs can kill A 100 lbs male chimp. Cats are the best one on one fighters in the animal world. If you're the same size as a cat, it's a no contest for the cat. You think a 400 lbs gorilla can take a 400 lbs Male Lion?
They can barely take Leopards
Lions get kicked out of the pride after 2 years.
How the fukk y'all think they survive on their own for the next 8 years of they don't get a pride of their own
Lions can and WILL fukk up anything that steps to them. Yeah they hunt in packs.... If they have a pack to hunt with. If not lions hide out in the cut, run in head first, dodge a fit hits like Floyd and go for the death lick.
They've spent YEARS mastering this shyt brehs. Y'all underrate the hell outta big cats.

Your obviously not grasping my argument.
First of all, I don't care about lions taking down big animals weight wise. Those animals don't have the strength or the human like anatomy that gorillas have.
Of course a lion is the better predator, of course it's a better killer.
The issue is that a lion isn't normally preying on large animals that have more than twice the bite force and strength as they do.
Lions are fast but gorillas are not slow, they're very agile animals, more agile than many animals that lions prey on.
This isn't a water buffalo or some animal that can get bit and not be able to maneuver itself to defend itself.
A gorilla can twist and flex and grab a lion from just about any angle a lion bites it from. It is strong enough to pull a lion off or crack it's skull trying to beat it off.
Im not saying a gorilla is the better predator, but if a lion bit one, it would probably freak out and do whatever it took to get it off, including biting back or snapping a limb or rib.
I believe a full grown silverback would be capable of surviving long enough to fight back.
However, I don't believe a lion could take much of a gorillas strength before it's incapacitated.
I remember watching this on animal planet when I was younger.

G-UNIT!!
The very source that you got this from states that a leopard would only ever ambush or surprise attack weaker gorillas.Think about this, a female 100 lbs can kill A 100 lbs male chimp. Cats are the best one on one fighters in the animal world. If you're the same size as a cat, it's a no contest for the cat. You think a 400 lbs gorilla can take a 400 lbs Male Lion?
It also state that they can't prove if the leopard actually killed the gorilla. This is a head up fade.
And on further research, a leopard fighting a gorilla is not normal at all and gorillas being killed by them is pretty rare.
Cats are smart enough not to fukk with something thats strong enough to permanently damage them.
Gorilla gets its cheeks split like a Cincinatti queen. Leopards can kill gorillas
