It would be nice to read if possible.

I've attached the paper!

Thanks!

Not the most convincing study, I have to say.

why not? Alan Walker is an evolutionary biologist. Does not get much better than that.

Because he was quoting those old tests. And he seemed to be making only hypotheses without testing anything himself with research team.

This is more recent study:

I created this thread in hope to see something concrete which would show some glimpse about it, that how strong gorilla is compared to other animals. Because I haven´t seen any footage in which gorilla would have shown some extraordinary strength. I think, that we all have seen those "normal" videos, in which some people are like "Whoa", but which in reality don´t show anything extraordinary. Some banana tree bitten and then ripped to pieces or one zoo glass shattering (who knows how old) as those do sometimes aren´t something unique. Reply
