    I recently saw a gorilla skull. Note how small the brain is and how much extra bone there is to protect it. Punching this would hurt you more than the gorilla.

    Imagine a toddler who thinks they can beat up you, a grown adult because it learned some karate. That’s how threatening you are to a gorilla.

    I’m pretty sure 800 lbs of angry silverback would beat whatever krav maga bullshit, but whatever tough guy. Let me just grab a snack before you convince that normally peaceful ape to tear your fucking arm off.

      Yeah, we weighs less than an average female gorilla. A preteen probably outweighs him. Newton has a few things to say about what will happen.

        A gorilla at rest stays at rest, just wait for him to go to sleep then you literally can’t lose.

        I think… I sucked at gorilla physics class.

    Humans aren’t physically violent enough to survive a much smaller creature (30-50kg), let alone fighting something just as violent but 10 times bigger.

    I would really pay to watch that fight.

      You would pay to watch a man get ripped apart? No thanks, I’d rather not have that image on my mind for the rest of my life.

      Even something smaller like a chimp can bite straight through a human and has enough strength to rip an arm straight off.

    Apparently gorillas are about 5 times stronger than a chimp, and I’ve seen what a chimp can do to a person.

    Gorillas mostly leave people alone because they don’t find us the slightest bit threatening.
