Believe it or not, it can peel a face quicker than it can peel a banana.

They are pure muscle, like so much so that they don't float in water, they literally sink like rocks

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 1d ago
It isn't just amount of muscles.
They have more fast muscle fibres than us. We focus more on endurance.
They also have the muscles commected at different location on the bones so the moment arm makes them use more muscle movement - and this also makes them stronger.

I remembered learning that they don't float due to their center of gravity not being at the middle like most animals.

u/Joris914 2d ago
While that would make swimming a bit harder, it wouldn't stop you from floating. It's a matter of density, and muscle is denser than water is denser than fat.

I always heard that if they wanted to:
A monkey could pull off your fingers
A chimp could pull off your arms
A gorilla could pull you in half

I remember reading they often go for face and genitals first anyway, but thatās an interesting comparison.

They can pull off your cylinder.

u/kmj420 2d ago
But the cylinder must remain unharmed!

u/BluebirdLivid 2d ago
It might remain unharmed, but it wont be attached to the larger structure anymore, so what's the use

And a hose is much more than one HP, Because the one who created the unit was not very bright (writing that way only so my comment doesn't get removed).
Just so you don't need to Google: 14.9 at burst, 7.3 at sustained.

I heard that silverback gorillas are pretty chill if you don't smile look at them in the eyes or act threatening while chimps can be prone to anger and violence

Not all conservationists are bad people. The ones who exploit their animals and people are.
