Chimpanzee vs Orangutan

Could a fully grown alpha chimp defeat a fully grown male orangutan? I think yes. Chimps look much faster and more aggressive than orangutans. So it would probably over whelm it with sheer ferocity. On the other hand, orangutans are stronger so if it managed to land some good blows, the chimp might be out for the count. Can't see it being ferocious enough though. Chimps are savage like no other ape. They even give baboons a run for their money.

lmao. What an amazing topic idea.

See, I'm not actually sure of how Orangtans deal with challenges. I know that chimpanzees are little bastards that just fight and kill each other, as well as like anything else they come across. But I don't know how aggressive orangutans get, or what they do when they get in such a state. So it's hard for me to judge, but personally I'd want the orangutan to win, chimpanzeess are one of the only animals that I really don't like.

Really? I love Chimpanzee's. They crack me up. Especially when the females are on heat, that's hilarious. Orangutans can get really aggressive, particularly the males. But I've never seen it so I have no idea how vicous they get either. The look like such quiet animals, it's hard to imagine one on a rampage.

Orangutan's aren't very aggressive, but they definately have an advantage. They usually just grapple if they want to fight

and outside of being super strong, they are pretty good at wrestling. If it got mad enough at the Chimp, the Orangutan would win in the end, or at least I think so. They don't get phased by pain much either.

BTW, this is an amazing topic, thank you for thinking outside the norm lol.

Chimpanzees bully, are cannibals, commit infanticide against other groups of Chimpanzees if they get the chance and play with their food in much the same way as a cat, which is a horrible thing, and personally I don't think seeing them throw poo around at the zoo redeems them of that. Hey, I don't think we should judge animals by our own high standards, because that would be unfair. But I'm just not a fan. I think they should be saved from extinction, but I don't like them.

Back on topic, having watched that I think I can understand them a bit more. Maybe all it would take would be for the Orangutan to get its hands on the chimp, and game over. But then, wrsetlings all well and good, but it's not lethal. If the Orangutan could pummel like a gorilla, then I'd say we have a winner. :P
