That is a good comparative image. The gorilla is big but in this form I don't think that this specimen weighed more than 250 kg, probably even less. Gorillas are masive but those big bellies are full of gas and I remember years ago a gorilla expert saying that if the gorilla stop eating, or if eat less, the belly just dissapear.


It remaind me the record specimen:

That is true, that they usually do have a lot of intestinal gas and people visiting them have to be prepared to it, that their... "rear engines" are running constantly I have no idea how much their bellies can have gas inside, of course those can protrude when a lot of gas. I guess, that extremely big looking can be combination of obesity and gas. Reply
