Gorillas Strength Vs Human Power Are Gorillas Stronger Than Humans?

This continues to be one of the most interesting topics debated about today but we are not certain of a particular research into the comparison of might between humans and gorillas. Some have been observed to effortlessly uproot small trees while others have observably shaken some of the firmest trees. Watching a fight between two angry silverbacks is something that might have your legs shaking in great fear. But we are still not certain of the exact average strength of a gorilla.Some people have said that in order to hold down a silverback gorilla, you would need eight (8) strong men, while other gorilla enthusiasts have exclaimed that a well grown silverback can break the limbs of ten heavy weight boxers (even if they were on drugs). Researchers who have however been able to interact with some of the habituated gorilla families tell us that though gorillas are generally calm creatures, they should never be angered because even the female gorillas can give a finely fit human the beating of his life.

A four month’s old infant gorilla cannot be contained by a single person so probably this can help us estimate the strength of the alpha silverback that has lived for over 15 years and has therefore done a lot of weight lifting. The greatest advice to tourists is never to piss of a mountain gorilla because their might is not known yet and you definitely don’t want to be the lab rat on which the gorilla’s strength is tested.
