    I’d pick wolf. They generally leave you alone and don’t want anything to do with you. I don’t know shit about gorillas

      Gorillas will tear off your face and testicles AFAIK. Just imagine the depraved shit a human would do to you assuming they could get away with it without repercussion.

      They wouldn’t hesitate to fuck you up.

        We should do the opposite of Noah’s arc where we put 2 of every animal, including humans, in the Houston Astrodome and have them fight to the death until one emerges.

          Do we all get prep time. And can animals who are capable of making them get tools, or do we have to make tools ourselves

      He didnt say forest. He said Forrest, as in Gump. Maybe Forrest gets smaller as he gets old.

    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.

    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.

        It could be, he’s a master of any environment, and I couldn’t ask for a better companion to be alone with in the forest.

      HELL YEAH BRÖTHER! WOLVES WILL RESPECT YOUR PERSONAL SPACE AS LONG AS YOU RESPECT THEIRS! THEY COULD ALSO RAISE YOUR YOUNG 'UNS TO FORM ONE OF THE MOST HISTORICALLY AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT CITIES/EMPIRES IN HISTORY! AROOOOOOOOOOO(ME)

      I considered making the other side of the bracket, but figrured the posts would get annoying fast.

      Also wolves and bears are cuddly??

    Wolf. Not only do I think my chances are better, I’d also feel less bad about trying to fuck up a wolf if I had to

      Considering there’s basically no chance of fucking up the gorilla, I don’t think you’d have to worry about the ethics of the situation.

        I’ll admit “trying” was doing a lot of heavy-lifting in that sentence ;)

    Definitely wolf. If I get trapped with a gorilla and some shots it to save me, humanity get will get so much negative karma on top of what we are still paying from 2016 and I won’t be able to live with the guilt.
