the truth is you're probably fine with both as long as you're not an idiot about it
black mambas, like most snakes, will usually choose hiding or fleeing unless they feel neither strategy will help them. There are a lot of snake deaths each year, but it's almost always because of a situation where, like, someone stepped on one accidentally or stuck their hand in the wrong place at the wrong time
Gorillas, like most animals on this planet, would rather not fight. The thing about zoo-keepers is that the gorillas
A: are trapped in a small space with the zookeepers when they interact
B: are pretty familiar with the zookeepers and people in general, which changes things a bit.
but the thing about wild animals who aren't trapped in a small space is, they very much behave in a "you stay in your lane and i'll stay in my lane" sort of way.
Malls are large enough that you'd be fine; you'd have to add some kind of high stress or something to change that
OR you'd have to be a stupid stupid human.
Almost every time a human gets injured by a wild animal it's because we're doing something stupid, like trying to get too close to it on purpose.
If you really wanted to make this interesting, you'd change it to:
would you rather be trapped in a water park with 5 hippopotamuses or a polar bear
because hippos are notoriously easy to provoke and one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet to encounter
and polar bears are one of the only things on earth that actively considers humans to be a prey item and will hunt us for dinner
(i'm gonna go with hippos because at least they won't come looking for me)
