The Gorilla Scouting Report: Nature’s Undefeated Heavyweight
In the red corner, weighing in at 800 pounds with a chest like a steel barrel and biceps that put professional bodybuilders to shame… the silverback gorilla.
If gorillas played in the NFL, they’d be drafted #1 overall—every year. Built like a mix between a powerlifter and a tank, a fully grown male silverback doesn’t just own the jungle, he is the jungle. He’s not out here showboating or posting gym selfies. He’s eating leaves, minding his business, and still somehow maintaining the kind of strength that makes you question your gym membership.
Let’s talk stats.
A silverback can lift 10 times its body weight. That’s over 1,800 pounds. For comparison, the world record in the deadlift (as of this writing) is just over 1,100 pounds. The gorilla does more on a fiber-based diet. No protein shakes. No creatine. Just bananas and vibes.
The grip strength alone is terrifying—estimated around 1,300 PSI, which is nearly twice that of a trained human athlete. And the bite? Clocked at 1,300 pounds per square inch—stronger than a lion’s. Yes, stronger than a lion’s.
Speed? He’s got that too. A gorilla can run 20–25 miles per hour over short bursts. And while he doesn’t play basketball, he could probably dunk without jumping. His vertical reach is insane, and he climbs like gravity’s just a rumor.
But here’s the kicker: gorillas are gentle giants.
Despite the raw power, they’re not out there picking fights. They live in close-knit troops, led by the silverback, who acts more like a coach than a brawler. He keeps order, settles disputes, and only throws hands if someone threatens the family.
Which brings us to the hypothetical matchup lighting up the internet: 1 gorilla vs 100 men.
Let’s be real. This isn’t a fight—it’s a mass misunderstanding.
Picture 100 average guys—desk jobs, weekend warriors, maybe one or two ex-linebackers. Now throw them into a clearing with an animal that can break small trees like twigs and toss them like dodgeballs. The gorilla’s not even angry—he’s just confused why these protein-deficient primates are crowding his space.
And when he moves? It’s over. One swing. Maybe two. A charge that could fold a Ford Fiesta. This is not a Rocky montage. This is a one-sided stat sheet.
Yet, the beauty of it all is that he won’t do it unless provoked. Gorillas are chill. Peaceful. Patient. They show us that real strength doesn’t have to roar. Sometimes, it just exists—quietly flexing in the background, reminding the rest of us who’s really at the top of the power rankings.
So the next time someone jokes, “I bet 100 guys could take a gorilla,” show them the tape. Show them the stats. And then ask them—
“Can you lift a car before breakfast?”
Because the king of the jungle isn’t a lion. It is a gorilla!

💪 One gorilla. 100 men. Who do you think would win? 🦍🔥
Not even 100 blackbelt fighters can beat him.
obviously the gorila didnt win
It’s actually kinda scary the amount of people that think the gorilla would actually win this…..
