The lion would need to perform an exacting throat bite, which would be extraordinarily difficult in this instance. Imagine a lion attacking an incredibly strong man, inevitably the lion will overpower the man and bite neck-head region; in the case of the gorilla though this may not be so. The lion's attack has efficacy solely in the bite, due to the immense upper body strength of a silverback and its general mobility, I think it highly unlikely the lion should kill the gorilla. The gorilla would maneuver the lions head, thus stopping the fatal bite. Claws and so forth could inflict serious injury to the gorilla, and theoretically the lion could also suffer injury, broken bones etc.. In the astronomically unlikely event these animals met, I think it unlikely they would physically interact. Both creatures are intelligent enough to avoid unnecessary injury, the silverback might frighten the lion off with a territorial display of chest pounding. In any case I think the lion would find it incredibly difficult to kill the gorilla, and the gorilla doesn't quite possess predatory features. (claws, huge powerful jaws, though they do have large canines) Basically, Wrestling match, serious wounds to both parties, until one runs off...
A pack of lions could kill a silver back.
A troop of gorillas can take down a male lion, a lone gorilla will be lunch in about five minutes - people always overestimate the silverback, the largest lion in the wild was 930 lbs while the largest gorilla was only 638 lbs, the lion is 300 pounds heavier, and much stronger!
A fight between a lion and a silverback gorilla would be unlikely to happen in the wild, as they live in different habitats. If they were to fight, the lion's speed, agility, and hunting ability would give it an advantage, while the gorilla's strength and intelligence could also pose a threat. Ultimately, the outcome would depend on various factors such as size, age, and individual behaviors of the animals involved.
