After watching Planet Earth, Emperor Penguins are now my favourite animal. They're awesome.

...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.
A lion will fuck you up, but unless you get caught in it's jaws or it's standing on you (both are real possibilites of course), you can run like hell and try to hide. When running away it's either got to jump on you or catch you in it's teeth.
A gorilla can grab your arm and pull it out of it's socket, WHILE biting you.
Listen to me, and listen good.
If you get attacked by a lion or a gorilla, you are fucked. You're not going to outrun a lion or a gorilla, and both are going to kill you very fast.
Gorillas are freakishly strong and are definitely capable of tearing off your limbs. If that doesn't kill you, you'll sure as hell wish it did.
And I don't know if you've ever seen a lion up close, and I mean really up close, but they're fucking huge. It could playfully swat at you and knock you on your ass.

I do have some insight as to the question of "could I beat up a gorrilla or a chimp more easily?"
In the wild, gorillas rarely kill each other in fights. They fight mostly to show dominance. The loser backs off and submits, and the winner doesn't completely fuck him up. In this they are like a lot of herbivores.
Chimps, on the other hand, often do kill each other. Which may explain their particularly nasty fighting-style.
So there is actually a good chance that you can beat up a gorilla easier than a chimp. A gorilla wouldn't fight to the death, a chimp would.
Chimps are fucking crazy. If you haven't yet, watch Planet Earth (preferrably on blu-ray). They cover chimps in the segment on jungles, and there's this one shot of this chimp holding a torn up chimp-scalp in his hand after some kind of chimp-style turf war, just this floppy sheet of skin with fur and an ear attached, and he eats a bit and passes it on to the next chimp.
You realize a gorilla isn't going to fight you for dominance, right? And that if it feels threatened, it will fight for it's life, right?
It ain't gonna back off if it's a life or death situation.
It's actually pretty rare for wild animals to kill each other (unless they're trying to eat each other).
Chimps are sort of the exception there. And humans. Wonderful, civilized humans.
Wha? Plenty of animals regularly kill babies of their own kind just so they can get to the mother. Ants wage war. Hyenas and lions will purposefully seek out the young and vulnerable of the others' species just to assert dominance and weaken their enemies' territorial control.

Dolphins and Porpoises. They're so fucking cool.
The stuff about them on Planet Earth is fascinating... creating a whirlpool in the water to funnel their food into a column of yummy, trapped fish. Belly sliding up onto the beach in order to catch fish in shallow water....

Also, the Lion is going to rake you. That is, plant its front legs on you, and pull up it's hind legs with it's razor sharp claws and probably disembowel you. Try running away while holding your intestines.

Yeah, all it would take was one accidental swipe across the head and hello brain damage.
