The Great Apes

[brotherbear]

Have you ever seen gorilla do it? 
 
YES. How many ways can I tell this? There was a kind of documentary on TV, some years back. First the man breaks ( with some difficulty ) a stick of bamboo. To the best of my memory, probably not much bigger  around than a human finger. Then the gorilla ( in his cage ) broke a big stick of bamboo about the size of a big man's arm and seemed to do so easily. Personally, I wasn't surprised. 
 
But, that tv program cannot be found and no one has ever really attempted to test their strength. So its pointless to go around in circles. But consider this, if they're not very strong, why then are these big normally slow-moving herbivores not the leopard's favorite prey in the Congo? A bull gorilla would not be difficult to catch.  Reply
