There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Although there is no studies done on a gorilla's strength, and no conceivable evidence exists of their strength, how much do you think a gorilla can pull horizontally? How many men do you think fit the strength of a gorilla?
IMO, a gorilla might pull a ton, and its strength range can probably be between 10-15 men? Olympic weightlifters and powerlifters can be quite stronger than a gorilla at certain motions (overhead press, bench press, cleans/snatches...), yet I feel a gorilla will significantly out-pull and definitely out-grip any human with extreme ease.
