A single wolf is just a big dog. A gorilla can pick you up and tear you in half.

Wolf for sure, you can bribe a wolf a lot easier than a gorilla, you move in a way that gorilla doesn't like and you dead.

Well Todd, it looks like Wolf might be the clear winner in today's matchup but what I think spectators are really want to know is how the next round will fare.
Wolf. Wolves are naturally shy of humans, and while gorillas are also, gorillas are also much bigger and stronger. If one decides it's mad at you it will pull your limbs off. Or worse. A wolf will try to rip you apart and tear your throat out if it's mad at you, but since it's in a different weight class you might actually stand a chance if you curl up in the fetal position or whack it in the face with a rock.

Probably wolf.
I choose the wolf. I already have 2 inside me, they'll just see me as another member of the pack.
Depends if you've been feeding them well.

Do I have treats for the wolf?
This takes me back to "gorilla, man, gun," which was basically the baptist youth camp version of rock, paper, scissors. (It probably exists outside of that context, that's just where I always played it shrug)
How does that work? Gorilla kills man? Gun kills Gorilla? but what's the man/gun outcome? Because gun also kills man
I would choose wolves because i have experience with dogs which are close enough to wolves
I am inexperienced with gorillas or any other primate
or any other primate
You've never encountered other humans?
They're inexperienced with them
BBROROOO

The Tarzan kid part of me wants to say gorilla but the dog person in me would definitely choose the wolf. That's a tough one.
I picked man over bear because man probably won't eat you. But if gorilla is a choice, that wins. Gorilla is friend as long as you keep your head low and he knows he's the boss. Also don't suprise him.
cancels surprise birthday party for Koko Jr
🥳
Oh shii.. is torn limb from limb as your noisemaker and party hat digress from Koko Jr's expectations
To be clear, I'm not trying to get into a man v bear debate here. But, like, a man could still kill you, right? Is that better than being eaten? I mean, I guess it's probably less likely. I'm no expert on bears or random forest men.
Im betting on the fact that humans have baked in altruism. We want to help each other. As a kid I got stuck in the forrest with my dirt bike and a gnarly looking guy helped me get home with his truck. It was a scary experience and it was a risk. I think most people are basically good. Men just have the strength to act on it when they are bad people.

The bear also isn't going to rape you and I would say the chances of the bear eating you and the man eating you are the same.

Wolf 100%. It's without its pack and I'd have some chance to fight it off. A gorilla would tear me in half.
You'd probably have some chance of becoming part of its pack if you were careful.
Or it'd just rip your throat out...

What? But we can keep the fire running if we have 2 people...
Gorilla? I feel like being super submissive and not making eye contact would probably keep it from tearing off my arms to use as drumsticks? I'm not a gorilla expert though, so anyone who knows more can feel free to tell me. Although I guess with a wolf, you could just climb a tree and be ok, depending on how long you have to stay. Either, I guess. I'm pretty convinced that I'll die trying to pet a wild animal when the moron part of my brain tells me it's friend-shaped, anyway, so whatever.

Wolf not wolves? Sure I can use a new pet I guess.
