Gorillas mostly leave people alone because they don’t find us the slightest bit threatening.
I love this statement. It sounds entirely true, it’s really trivializes the part of humans when they attempt to overcome nature and its bouncers, and it also means I maybe have a chance of not dying if I ever should find myself surrounded by Gorillas and shitless (see if my natural shark repellent works here too) .

Just putting this here because chimpanzees, while strong, aren’t THAT strong. A big strong male human is strong than a big strong male chimpanzee.
A gorilla of course would tear any person apart like tissue paper.

Yeh what chimps got on humans is they go from zero to ripping your face off in 0 seconds flat, humans either require a lot of buildup to get that pissed or some kind of drug.

Apparently it is an instinctive way that chimps fight. First they gouge your eyes so you can’t defend yourself. Then bite your hands so you can’t attack. Then they rip off your genitals because fuck you that’s why.

I can believe that. There was that bath salts nutcase a few years back, and his victim was left in a similar state to chimp attack victims…
