Threats and Conservation

Who Would Win?

Gorillas are known for their physical strength,  impressive power and agility, muscular build and dexterity all making them formidable opponents. Alligators have incredibly strong jaws that can exert a force of over 2,000 pounds per square inch. They have tough skin and sharp teeth.

If a fight were to occur on land, the gorilla might have the upper hand due to its speed and ability to dodge attacks quickly. However, if the fight were to take place in water, the alligator’s aquatic prowess and superior swimming skills would give it a significant advantage.

Who Would Win?

It is important to remember that these creatures would not engage in fights for sport or entertainment in the wild. They exist in their respective habitats for survival and should be respected and admired for their natural abilities.
