But it is just one animal among others. This is because my testosterone level is 10 times that of average human. There are no lbs gorillas. Gorillas are usually in between lbs.
Gorillas also have never been seen to lift something heavy. Lions and tigers also have stronger muscle fibers based on some studies and they are bigger than gorillas… and then we have real powerhouses, proven powerhouse, bears… gorilla is nothing too special, a primate, strong, but not only strong animal, not at all.
I suggest that you refrain from commenting to avoid revealing your ignorance. You should study this subject if you want to be taken seriously.
What I write is based on scientific studies, unlike you comment now. I know, that there are people like you, who want to believe, that gorillas are stronger and bigger than they are. Of course a kg animal is strong, but so are all the other animals as big or bigger.
Gorilla is no exception and neither is other overrated primate, chimpanzee. Also average weight of male gorillas is about kg, not , biggest ever in scientific records has been kg…. Gorillas are strong, but in this site seems to be a lot of claims, but no sources for people to check. If you enjoy this post, you should check out: Can an ostrich kill a lion? How strong do you think gorillas are? Have a reference or video to share? Please post it in the comments — I want to improve this post and make it better.
Stats and facts are quite sparse on this topic. I also blog about photography with a focus on GoPro and action cameras. Here is the gear we love to travel with. To capture our adventure and to travel safe and comfortable. See all our favorite stuff here: Recommended Gear. You mentioned that the gorillas bite force is more than a Great White, with the gorilla at psi. But scientifically a great white can have a bite force of psi. Liked your pictures. There have been some mechanically made animal tests where they took actual stats of various bites and created the bite against other animals.
The croc was one. The main reason most animals can do what looks easy is because it is something they want to do and nobody ever told them NO you may get hurt.
Sort of none of those self-limiting beliefs, I guess? It would be interesting to see some of those bite tests. I'm not sure. I think theoretically the Gorilla could combat these animals with a reasonable shot but, they just aren't built for the offensive combat in the same way. Crocs, bears, lions are meant to kill nearly instantly with they're offence, the Gorilla would need to face them in their own territory otherwise I'd say odds would not be in their favor.
Human though, no contest, ever. Research shows that a gorilla can lift up to 27 times their full body weight.
Note : Although gorillas are strong and are very capable of causing detrimental damage to those most deserving, they are very peaceful creatures and most majestic creatures you definitely enjoy watching in the wild.
The gorilla families you will visit during your Uganda gorilla safaris or Rwanda gorilla tours or the gorilla trekking safari in Congo are well habituated for visitors unless they are provoked or threaten, say when someone uses flash photography.
The visitor is always advised to follow the gorilla trekking rules. While strolling in one of the greatest national parks of Uganda such as Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga National Park, you will be easily able to notice that one of the visible reasons why arms of these gorillas are so muscled.
These mountain gorillas are known to walk on all fours. And by doing so, they put their arms to lots of stress-related activity that gives them enormous exercises daily. How strong is a gorilla?

Deforestation and poaching have caused populations to decline by more than 60 percent over the last two decades. Being named one of the New Big 5 of wildlife photography , a swell in crowdfunded philanthropy , and community-based conservation of Grauer's gorillas have all helped in spreading awareness and encouraging protection of these majestic great apes. The One Earth Newsletter showcases innovative projects from around the world led by individuals and community organizations who are making the vision of a green, resilient future a reality.
