By now, you’ve probably seen the internet chatter about whether 100 men could beat 1 gorilla in the latest viral hypothetical fueling HILARIOUS shenanigans across social media and beyond.
Now, before you bet on the men, just know that the great ape possesses incredible strength allowing them to lift and throw objects weighing up to 1,800 pounds.
In this case, that 1,800 pounds would be all 100 men getting Jazzy Jeffed to Hell in what very likely would be a lopsided rumble in the jungle.
So… the strength of more than 20 adult men combined, a top speed of 23 mph (almost faster than Usain Bolt), and a bite force significantly stronger than a LION? Yep, our money is on the gorilla.
Speaking to Men’s Journal, Dr. Cat Hobaiter–a Primatologist at the University of St. Andrews–explained that the 100 men wouldn’t stand a chance, citing the gorilla’s massive muscle makeup (85% fast-twitch fibers).
“A single punch would floor them,” she said, adding that a silverback could easily wipe out waves of attackers.
Interestingly, Ron Magill–wildlife conservationist/Zoo Miami Communications Director–believes the men would actually win (well, the few survivors), claiming that a coordinated effort would eventually subdue the gorilla.
Naturally, the great ape debate trended across Twitter with everybody and their mama chiming in on the hilariously unserious debate.
