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.
Chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas have been known to exert great strength, particularly in the fields of pulling, horizontal pushing, deadlifting, gripping, and tearing motions.
Do any of you have any accounts/proven feats of strength (best sources from scientific articles) for any of these apes?
I have seen many anecdotes of their strength, but I am not sure if I can trust those anecdotes. Isn't there a video of an orangutan pulling some sumo wrestlers in a tug-o-war?
