The Great Apes

[brotherbear]

As for breaking the large stalk of bamboo, no, the great ape held it as he had watched the man do, in both hands, and easily snapped it in half.  A gorilla is much stronger than any man of equal height. But just how strong is left unknown. 
I find that people are in two classes when talking about the gorilla. On the one side are those who grew up with the B-movie monster gorilla and the other side who sees ONLY the tender-hearted vegetarian who would be completely helpless in a fight. 
I stand in the middle here. I believe that after a million years or so, the leopard has learned that a bull gorilla is no joke. On the other hand, if someone were to release tigers into the African Congo, the gorilla would have a serious problem. Reply
