A “burning” question ignites the web right now: who would prevail in a battle between a single gorilla against one hundred humans?
The question may seem eccentric, but it teaches us a lot about the greatest of the hominoids with whom we, humans, share more than 98% of our genome.
“It is an animal that will seek more the flight than the fight,” established the biologist and president at Educazoo, Joanie Asselin, at the microphone of Richard Martineau at Qub Radio and Télé.
• On the same subject, listen to this Balado episode taken from the program by Richard Martineau, broadcast on the Qub platforms and simultaneously on the 99.5 FM Montreal:
Being a vegetarian animal feeding mainly on plants and sometimes insects and not being a carnivorous, the gorilla will not seek the fight, said Ms. Asselin.
On the other hand, if he had to face a hundred humans who all attack him at the same time, he could defend himself with his colossal force.
“There are some gorillas that can reach more than 250 kg. Everything will also depend on humans’ size, “she said.
The amplitude of the arms of the gorilla, its weight and the strength of its jaws could give it an advantage in the face of smaller humans.
