The internet has been a buzz with this wild collection of videos about the question “Would 100 men win a fight against a fully grown gorilla”? (Silverback Ape is what most people are picturing). While a gorilla is incredibly strong, 100 men would likely be able to overcome a single adult male gorilla, but it would be a costly victory. The gorilla’s strength and speed would mean significant casualties among the men, especially in the initial stages. However, the sheer number of men, along with coordinated tactics and potentially the use of weapons, could eventually allow them to overpower the gorilla.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
- Gorilla Strength: Silverback gorillas are incredibly strong, capable of lifting several times their own weight. Their bite force is also powerful.
- Human Advantage: 100 men provide a significant numerical advantage.
- Costly Victory: The initial phase would likely be brutal, with the gorilla inflicting significant damage on the attacking men.
- Coordination and Strategy: Successful outcomes would require careful planning, coordination, and possibly the use of weapons or tools to disarm the gorilla.
- Potential for Loss: Even with a victory, the men would likely suffer casualties and injuries.
- Not a guaranteed win: The gorilla could win or inflict immense damage if the men are not prepared and coordinated, according to Newsweek.
Just being silly, WE simply imagine it being something akin to this…
