Ape Strength: Myth vs Reality

[Polar]

Wow, and with a simple tug, the female oranguatan easily pulled the man down without a single facial expression or struggle.

Instead of an orangutan half of the wrestler's weight, how about one at only 100 pounds, or less than 1/3 of the wrestler's weight?

It'll be much harder for the 100-pound one but still manageable.

But the orangutan used a lever-like system (standing on a horizontal platform whilst bending her upper body to pull the weight, that makes it impossible for even a few sumo wrestlers to begin dragging her.)

Now if both were standing and the orangutans, both the 180-pound one shown and my speculative 100-pound one, went against him, they would most likely be pulled away unless they could somehow do a sudden and sharp tug back at the man. Reply
