This thread is about gorilla strength, not about leopard predation concerning gorillas etc. Leopards have killed a lot of gorillas, including silverbacks. But if more about it in this thread, I move postings to some more suitable thread. I think, that in leopard predation thread there are several cases, where silverbacks have been killed by leopards and so on. But in this thread that is meaningless, this thread is for pure physical strength.

"Leopards have killed alot of gorillas" 

True, but inform the people here that most are females and subadults. And done by ambush, not a head on fight.

"Including silverbacks"

Like i said above, maybe 3 documented cases in history, thats it Shadow. And again, By ambush tactics, face to face, the cat either runs away or dies, simple as this. We have to inform this to the people so there is no misinformation here.

In a fair, strictly face to face battle, this happens:
