Wildlife Biologist Predicts Who Will Win in a Fight Between One Gorilla and 100 Men, Answer Thrills Netizens

The Internet wouldn't be fun without those viral questions being shared in its domain. This time it is 'Who would win in a fight between one gorilla and a hundred men?' Almost all social media platforms have been filled with speculations, but if an opinion could be considered final, then it is that of Kaleb (@cowboyKal3b). The wildlife biologist chimed in with his opinion, and it surely had the world talking.

Kaleb, unlike many others, was on team men. He emphasized 'men' because, in his opinion, a single individual definitely does not stand a chance. The wildlife biologist explained that a typical male silverback weighed around 300-400 pounds, which is many times more than a well-built man who works out. Hence, in a one-on-one combat, there is likely no chance. The X user added that in the presented scenario, there will also be losses. "We are definitely taking casualties, but this isn’t enough to just rip apart every man," he wrote.

In the thread, the biologist added that there are various ways in which men could overpower a gorilla. One of them, he suggested, involved restraining the gorilla by holding on to its limbs. The X user further claimed that the gorilla would tire out before men. In this condition, he would be no match for his opponents, according to the expert. "An exhausted gorilla would struggle to fight like 7 guys, let alone dozens," he added.

The expert also argued against the theory that humans wouldn't be able to land a hit on gorillas. He agreed that though gorillas have thicker skin, in his opinion, they are not immune to blunt force, especially when the hit is on soft places like the groin area. The biologist believes that humans can very well rupture an artery and cause damage.

The wildlife biologist's final answer was that even 30 to 40 men are enough to take an exhausted gorilla in a hypothetical fight. However, he doesn't believe that the situation is likely to facilitate, because Gorillas instinctively do not like to involve themselves with huge groups of men. In most cases, they would go away rather than fight in such scenarios.

The comment section presented its own takes on the situation. "Eyeball pokes and calf kicks," @Jakethefiberguy shared their tactic in the hypothetical fight. @lempep2187 was sad by the prospect of hurting gorillas. They wrote, "Again, this discourse is so funny in the abstract, but once you start talking about hitting and kicking the 'soft places' on a gorilla, I just get sad."

The thread had around 14,000 quotes, which is indicative of the frenzy the query has caused on social media. In the last few days, popular personalities like Mr. Beast as well as Elon Musk have gotten involved in the discussion, stated LAD Bible. The former wants people to sign up for the hypothetical fight, while the latter wants to join in. No matter what the wishes of 'men' might be, @cowboyKal3b is determined that the gorilla would not be interested in taking up the challenge without any provocation. For now, the showdown would remain limited to the internet.
