Gorilla vs Tiger

Head-to-head comparison using the same scoring engine as the interactive analysis below: size, mobility, weapons, durability, endurance, aggression, and intelligence — starting on land.

Tiger's movement advantage (65 km/h versus 40 km/h) gives it first-strike control and the ability to dictate range against Gorilla. Gorilla's bite can pose a real threat at close quarters, but closing that gap is the central tactical problem.

Model verdict: Under the default land environment, Tiger is the statistical favourite (55% win probability in this model).
