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.

ok, first of all, the largest gorilla subspecie, the Eastern lowland gorilla, they can reach a max weight of about 550 lbs, so at max weights its not much different the modern lions/tigers.

Researchgate:  The Strength of Great Apes and the Speed of Humans

The musculoskeletal system of mammals can be adapted for either strength or speed, BUT NOT BOTH. great apes (like bears), have evolved for strength, big cats have evolved for speed, this is clear.
