      just jump over the fence into the zoo enclosure with him, and you’ll probably get your chance

    The gorilla will use his insides as an Onahole when he’s finished with him.

    I think he’s on to something… In these times of political and economical uncertainty, we should bring back ancient Rome colosseum style games. Modern fighters taking on wild animals for glory. Give the masses something to get excited about.

    Let the man get himself dismembered by a gorilla as part of a bigger event with deadly races and feats of human strength.

    Mike Tyson was going to fight a gorilla in his prime. The zoo keepers denied his request. While he can punch a hole in a human’s chest, that gorilla was going to rip his arms off with absolutely no effort.

    Gorrillas weigh between 219 and 600 lbs

    According to Guiness World Records they can lift 1800 lbs.

    They have an arm span of over 8 ft.

    Feel free to try it but spend some time putting your estate on order, first.

      they can lift 1800 lbs.

      For a real-world comparison, ever try to move someone that’s passed out? That’s probably in the ballpark of 200lbs.

      Now imagine lifting six people at once.

      Current world records for a deadlift top out just shy of 1200 lbs.

      Feel free to try it but spend some time putting your estate on order, first.

      OP is definitely going to need a beefy insurance policy, a last will, and a pre-ordered coffin. Maybe they get ahead of the game and just give someone full power of attorney the day before. Assuming they stay in one piece, it’s possible that they could survive, but they’re going to need a new skeleton and a few vital organs to pull that off.

      An orangutan could grab a man by his feet and head and tear him in half, honestly i kind of doubt that the biggest most well trained man could even take on a chimpanzee and win without a weapon.

    Why bother fight a gorilla. Just cut the forest down and polute his environment. Steal his children put them in a zoo. Cut off his hands then and turn them into ash trays. We have already dominated the natural world now we are working on dominating future generations.

    This made me think of that time my partner’s brother told me in complete earnest that he’d be able to jump off a skateboard going 20+ mph and run it out based solely off the fact that the fastest recorded human running speed is 28 mph and therefore he, an average fit 20 y.o. should be able to achieve 75% of that.

    Your best chance to kill a gorilla in a fight is probably to move so much air around him that he catches a f*cking cold and dies from it. If you don’t actually touch him you may even have a non-0 survival chance as he ignores you.

    if it wasn’t so unethical towards the animals, i would love to let those people go for it.

    Could only improve the human gene pool.

    That would be how to do it. Humans have pretty good endurance as far as animals go. And gorrilas have pretty terrible punching technique and waste a lot of energy on those shitty downward over head swings that are pretty telegraphed.

    My money will still be on the gorilla though unless you ad a few more people

      They’re pretty telegraphed, but you don’t get iframes in real life. All the gorilla needs to do is sweep his arms and grab you and then he can just rip you apart.
