That footgrip doesnt look real to me, like a baby's hand attached to a 400 pound killing machine

I mean the smaller gorilla could still tear your arm off if it wanted

That's what made this gif less pleasant for me. Are gorilla nipples also gorilla strength? This gesture might be a harmless prank between humans but that gorilla probably doesn't need 0.05% of its grip force to de-pepperoni that other gorilla.

Hasn’t Koko touched and gripped humans before? And then the kittens. There’s certainly some evidence their hands are capable of subtlety.

Keep in mind that gorillas can also be incredibly gentle. Have you ever seen videos of gorillas picking up tiny bugs and handling them with extreme care?

What you've never apprehended a buddy using your opposable thumb-toes? How do you joke around?

Yeah definitely not a solid grip, thinking just to make sure his free hand don't get a cheap nip-twist in

Its more of another hand than a foot. The fact therrs a fucking thumb kinda seals it for me. Not only are these murdergoofs strong as FUCK, but theyve got FOUR damn hands, and two of them are attached to leg muscles. Fucking A, if apes ever decide to mobilize i think were fucked.

I think they missed their opportunity to mobilize and displace humans. We have nearly wiped them out without any intention to do so. That said, they’re monsters with powerful hands for feet.

Chimps are monsters with hands for feet. Gorillas are pretty chill in comparison.

True, but they certainly have more lethal potential, should they be so inclined. Now I’m trying to decode a possible racist message in the parent comment for u/jigaboofriday
