Ironically looking at a gorilla wrong could lead to that unit ripping you to shreds since things that seem positive like smiling with our teeth out is considered a sign of aggression to the ape.

Smiling with teeth together is a sign of submission. Baring teeth with an open mouth is a sign of aggression.

[@kellytrimble7019]

Years ago I went to visit a silverback every day at the old Lincoln Park zoo. They had a few benches & he was behind plexiglass. I wouldn’t stare at him, that rude, would keep my eyes mostly down if he looked at me & would read my book. He was so bored, would braid and unbraid his rope on the tire swing. After 3 days, he got up & walked over to the glass & put his hand up. I put mine up to his & he kinda snorted at me to give me his approval! Ive never felt so honored. It was looking into a persons eyes. A thoughtful, kind person. ❤❤❤

What she did to bring attention to the poaching of these majestic creatures was her life’s work and unfortunately was the reason of her untimely passing.

[@CoffeeFiend1]

Human does something. Gets some hazelnuts from the nice man in the white coat. Sooner or later the Gorilla will imitate, bet it wouldn't even be that hard. They'd have to be adapted movements though as the Gorilla wouldn't care about form or isolation, he'd use momentum if it's easier, probably couldn't get him doing cable kickbacks.... He'd plant his feet and pull with both hands tearing the machine from the earth like a fuckin' Gundam Mech.

Are you referring to political views or muscle mass distribution? *His biceps were sized rather liberally*

[@rejvaik00]

I'm not sure about the 4000 pounds lifting capacity, but they are without a doubt stronger than any bodybuilder or strongman

[@xxChacaronXX]

Going to “Silverback vs Lion AI fight” now.

[@jf_kein_k8590]

And all of that would still lose to a Grizzly. Shows how insane bears are.

[@r0ll3dd]

Remember when Mike Tyson wanted to fight one 😂

[@thomasdallor2128]

Mike would've got folded 💀💀

First gorilla… - thrown an orange - immediate smile - proof that all males appreciate a good meal

[@sharonlefebure3892]

It would be amazing to get close to a gorilla. Especially if you’ve been able to raise it from a baby. They look so intelligent.

Percy also has a very strong resistance to heat like fire or magma which is why he survived the volcanic eruption with only burns

[@Mistercodmobilefan8378]

Gorilas are amazing animals!!!! Strong alpha male to protect the group and gentle primates!!

[@Nets-king]

basically, if you don’t wanna get torn to shreds, just don’t do anything that signals dominance or aggression in gorilla sign /body language

[@kingjaidyn1235]

nah that last advice is just death lmao

[@marcellouis2448]

I’m not saying they aren’t strong…. But I will say that tearing down a banana tree is no monumental feat😂😂😂😂

[@Johnson-cx9cv]

Would love to see a gorilla in a powerlifting competition 😂

[@binibnladin]

I like the meme where the cat is turned into a gorilla while a French guy raps in the background

[@badraitbenbouchaib2196]

The fact that they can lift up to 1800 kg is insane

[@KitsuneFyora]

Gorilla notices human: sup, human. Hows it going? Human: *bangs on chest aggressively* Gorilla: SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH

[@Shinyloog20992]

As long as you remember you arent the one in charge, they should be chill.

[@search895]

Here we go, 20 adult humans 😅 Last time i checked, the saying that they were stronger than 5 adult humans was actually considered an exaggeration. They must be around stronger than 2 or 3 adult humans.

[@Edwenthewolfxx]

The definition of gentle giant

[@ZeusCoC101]

20 humans: not 20 eddie halls

[@alishademmery3581]

Absolutely gorgeous protection for all animals and their habitats

[@SAWTHISRIGHT]

How anime fans understood this: "He should be docile just so long as you don't act like kid buu"

[@milolee1725]

Thought this was a comedy sketch when at the start,😂 the G'rilla on the left got rolled over!
