Throw my Wife in their and they're all toast.

I'm going with trick question. The snake will just hang out and wait for the others to die off or kill each other. I'm not sure any of the other three would mess with it and it can live a lot longer without food and water.

docile snake makes sense.
gorilla would reign on the other two but the snake...........they can be sneaky.

Grizzly hands down. Gorilla over Lion, over anaconda.

Depends.If the Gorilla can get his arms around the Grizzly's neck he'll snap it like a twig. I'm sure their arm strength is insane. Then he'll kill the other two with no problem.

Lion is the big loser -- the women do the hunting in that family

Lion. Lots of teeth, claws and speed. Plus I like underdogs.

Rampage! He has thumbs.

Whichever one gets to the gun first wins. Well, except the snake. Not having arms or legs can be a handicap at times.

Lion! Bears are really not killers. For the most part they are herbivores and when they do kill its usually a fish. Lions are experienced hunters and killers and until you see one up close you have no idea how big them suckers really are. Snake has no chance. Gorillas can kill but they aint that good at it. It really just comes down to the bear and lion.

Once the free-for-all starts, and "kill for survival" kicks in, I'd surmise a full-sized Brown/Grizzly/Kodiak bear would become a killer.

Surprisingly, the polar bear is by far the biggest bear, but he's not in this fight.

A gorilla has tons of strength, probably used for breaking and pulling, but would he "bite" to the death?

I still think, "if all creatures are male and at maximum size," I think the bear takes the prize, the the lion over the other two.

Grizzly because of attitude and living a much harder life.....

A full size mature male grizzly is considerably larger than the gorilla....my money would be on the bear...but it would be close...other two would be out quickly...

Put Hillary in and they would all commit suicide

Really depends on how quick thinking the gorilla is. He definitely holds the intelligence edge, by a long shot. If he gets the bear on its back relatively quickly, a few hammer fist would probably be all it’d take. The lion holds the speed, if he managed to get behind, get on the neck and dig his claws in it’d be a tough to overcome for the other two. The bear is slow moving compared to the others. He’s got the weight and power but his first tactic would probably be to stand, which might be a bad idea if either of the other two came full speed. If his first swipe didn’t connect, it might be over. Then there’s the python, if it wasn’t killed quickly and somehow managed to get the upper body and take any of them to the ground, it could stand a chance. At the end of the day, I think I’d go with the intellect and strength of the gorilla.

Wow, that was an extremely lucid and well thought out response. You are wrong.

The largest tiger was not included in this mix or any sort of two step viper.

Let me know next time you’re hosting those exotic animal cage fights. Until then, my hypothetical guess to a hypothetical question is just as good or better than yours.

In fights between tigers and lions the tiger usually wins because it fights with both paws the lion with one. A grizzly has the power to break the back of a moose (I saw a hunting show that showed a moose that had been killed by a bear) so the grizzly would win there. The gorilla, while powerful wouldn't stand a chance, lions regularly kill and eat baboons.

And neither was a goldfish. Glad we got that sorted out.

Where do some of y’all come up with these random comments? Baboons, seriously?

They better all be glad there isn't a honey badger in there.

Probably a worthless thread in reality but its very interesting and I certainly never thought about it. Its a good debate cause there appears to be no clear cut winner. My guess is the bear but I could be talked into any of them since I dont know enough about them. Entertaining debate.
Btw, I thought by the title of the thread this was about stock market or investment advisors. It would be helpful if thread titles were more descriptive.

"Entertaining debate," therefore, it's not worthless.

The lion and swipe/claw and bite, the snake can bite and grip/grab/squeeze, the gorilla can hit/pound, and I'd surmise the bear can do all of those, of course none can "squeeze" like the snake, but it wouldn't be necessary.

I'm still going bear!

Addendum: Of course, if you throw Bigfoot into the mix, anything can happen.
