How many does it take?

This is going to be a nonsensical question but it could lead to something interesting. So over many beverages last weekend me and and my friends had this conversation.

The scenario wide open field, full grown pissed off gorilla how many unarmed men does it take to bring it down.

I say at least 80, the first 20 or so are dead faces ripped off arms torn off whatever these first ones never had a shot. My thoughts once the thing starts getting tired your gonna need at least 20 to swarm and try to bring it down most of these guys are gonna get fucked up too. the rest fill in an finally you get it wrestled to where it can't move, of the 80 most are gonna be maimed or disfigured but eventually you get it down.

What do you think?

At least a 100. It would be incredibly difficult to get it down, since the fucker weights 400 pounds, then it would probably crush on the way to the ground.

The strength factor is tremendous too....

"In 1924 "Boma" a 165Lbs male chimp at the Bronx zoo, New York, recorded a right handed pull (feet braced) of 847 Lbs on a dynamometer.(the comparison given is 210Lbs for a man of the same weight). On another occasion, "Suzette" registered a pull of 1260 Lbs while in a rage (same zoo).

A record from the USA of a 100Lbs chimp achieving a dead lift of 600 Lbs with ease sugests that, with training, a Male gorilla could raise 1800 Lbs."

shit i dont know......50? if 50 people came at it all at once.....

This was just one of those questions you ponder at the bar after many many drinks.

I knew i had read that same thing of the incredible strength they have but when you figure in the animal being scared and furious it would only make it worse.

The attacks of chimps on people are devastating enough when they happen can only imagine how bad it could be with a full grown Gorilla

I don't know how many it would take, but it would be fun as hell watching the gorilla go nuts on the idiots who try to take it down.

i would like to try to fight a bear in one of those bear suits, that kind of levels the playing field and it would be fun as hell

If it was between a full grown gorilla and a fully grown bear, who would win that one? Surely the bear just for the fact it has the claws n all?!

A bear would fuck a gorilla up. Bears are natural predators, gorillas are herbivores and their main fighting tactic is to run away.

just one. the one guy smart enough to wait for the fucker to fall asleep. but since that guy is pretty rare, i'll guess 1000, where the first 999 attack head on.
