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."

Its strength is awe-inspiring; it can lift up to 10 times its body weight, showcasing incredible power in its arms, shoulders, and chest. These mighty creatures are known to effortlessly break bamboo stalks, bend thick tree branches, and defend their group with unmatched ferocity.

Silverbacks exhibit strength not only in physical feats but also in their ability to protect and lead their troop. As the head of the group, the silverback plays a critical role in maintaining order, keeping rivals at bay, and ensuring the safety of younger gorillas and females.
