A game ranger with the Uganda Wildlife Authority explained what would happen if 100 men attempted to fight a gorilla.
In a video shared on X, he said: "100 for the silverback; if they are strong-hearted. Because the noise and the chest beating alone can make you scared, get scared, and even run away or fall... When he charges and is next to you because of the noise... you're already down before he touches [you], but still when you are together in one place, close to one another, he has very long arms as compared to the legs. The arms are long and he is muscular, so he will come and all of you put you down. He's a serious guy, my guy."
