In light of this thread I watched Gorilla videos on youtube for the about 30 minutes. Silverbacks are terrifying animals. They are so huge, strong, imposing, and relatively unpredictable. Don't let there human-like appearance fool you. These can be extremely violent and powerful beasts.

Establishing the pecking order:





Gorilla gender dynamics remind me a lot of cows. Females are generally docile and friendly, especially with humans. While the males are powerful, fast, hyper aggressive.

That is from the Omaha Zoo.

Here's some jaguars attacking at the Little Rock Zoo:






The gorilla got shot at the Cincinatti Zoo.

Why do all of these cities need zoos? Just for school kids to go to?

If I go to any of those three cities I'm not going to the zoo. I'm not going BECAUSE of the zoo either. If I go to Arkansas maybe I'll go to a cockfight but that's it.

Honolulu has a zoo too. Since a lot of marginalized people live here we get a shitty one. There's just no need.

According to the Zoo Association there are 233 in America. Are they money makers?

What's the point?

Ever been picked up and lifted off the ground by an animal, maybe even a "domesticated" one like a cow, bull, or steer? They don't give a fuck, don't plan ahead, and will stick a horn in you and lift you off the ground until you hit strike them back with surprise violence.

Primates are more intelligent than lower level animals. The fact is that Harambe didn't immediately kill the threat which would have been simple, but was checking out the situation and acting carefully. He wasn't acting randomly. His behavior was intelligent. The kid wasn't hurt. I think that if apes started posting on Internet forums they would lose their natural intuition and become much more careless.

I suggest you go look up "chimp attack" on the internet. Get a barf bag ready. They are not really as predictable as we think. All primates are still prone to savage animal instincts. Some are naturally more violent than others but these are animals that practice cannibalism from time to time too.

Ahh yes, you brought up what I was thinking about.

There have been more than one story of chimps and other primates clawing and biting peoples faces off, including their eyes.

I want to blame fairybeta Friends character Ross for this as well:


Primates can be very smart and devious. I wish I could trace back the article, but they will organize in packs and pounce on tourists.

Almost looks like slaps when they fight. Can't imagine how much power is in those arms. A human on the receiving end of that initial charge would be destroyed instantly. A 250 lb swoll man would still get ragdolled like a bitch.

Looks like one gorilla tried to do a bodylock and then the other sprawled too.

The finishing hit seemed to be an overhand pimp slap to the aggressor's dome which made him retreat.

Reminds me of Travis the Chimp, whom went apeshit on his owner's friend:

Quote:Quote:

In February 2009, Travis and his owner Sandra Herold gained international notoriety after he suddenly attacked Herold's friend Charla Nash and grievously mauled her, blinding her while severing her nose, ears, and both hands, and severely lacerating her face. He was subsequently shot dead on the arrival of the police, after trying to attack an officer.

Yeah I should have put a disclaimer: Trigger warning - ignorant soccer moms talking out their asses about shit they have no clue about.

I'd also like to point out, that videos like this and many other encounters of violent wildlife really goes to show you that pound-for-pound humans are some of the weakest animals on earth. We absolutely need our brains. Animals of similar and even smaller size than humans are just far more adept fighters in close quarters. Other animals move faster, are much stronger, have sharp teeth and claws. We don't have shit. Fascinating really.

I'm no primate behavior expert, but others have said that these are two male gorillas, essentially fighting for dominance. Which, as I understand it, is a perfectly normal, natural thing for male gorillas to do. Observe that neither seems to be critically injured following the tussle.

But listen to the gasping soccer moms: Something must be done! This behavior must be stopped!

Note that this is exactly the response many such mothers have when they see their sons roughhousing & wrestling: shock, followed by insistence that the behavior immediately cease.

Daddy (if he exists, and is not a complete pansy) will often respond with words to the effect of: They're OK! Let them be — they're just fighting. At which point the woman looks at the man incredulously, her female brain unable to comprehend the significance of this aggressive male behavior which is so crucial to our development.

Of course, when Mommy calls the shots, boys are throttled in this regard, and made to behave like good little girls — er, I mean boys.

Yeah those pictures are horrific I saw them before and will never revisit that shit again.

I also read that for smaller primates their first attack move is often to go for the groin with their sharp ass teeth.

So even if some guy survives that initial attack they are still fucked for life.

That poor woman though who got her face chewed off..

This has got me curious about human strength compared to Chimpanzees, out closest genetic relative in the animal kingdom.

Interesting Slate article here that discusses the series of tests done to analyze human strength compared to chimps over the last century:

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and...anzee.html

It seems realistically, chimps are about twice as strong as humans. Part of this is contributing to a mere slight difference in genetic makeup and body structure. Another interesting factor is motor neurons and gray matter:

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news...94/?no-ist

Video at the end of that article explains that humans are essentially designed to be more deliberate and focused with out muscle fiber engagement which is why were able to perform complex precision movements with very light force. In contrast, apes tend to have less control over their muscle fibers and sort of have an "all or nothing" response when applying force.

Now, I have seen plenty of videos of chimps and gorillas being "gentle" and exhibiting focused control over their muscles, but it makes a lot of sense to me that engaging all of your muscle fibers is more difficult for humans. Something we typically can only do in a heightened state with our heart rate up and adrenaline pumping through our veins. Engaging all of your muscle fibers is the key to unlocking your true physical potential as a human being. Something Elliot Hulse has talked about before too. He even has a video where he talks about gaining mass simply by force flexing and mentally enlisting as many fo your fibers to fire off as possible.

In otherwords apes have retard strength.

Chimp vs retard.

I would pay to see that.

To all you dudes saying the family should pay:

How the hell would that help anything? I bet a gorilla is a 1,000,000 plus to purchase. That family definitely can't afford that. So we should wreck that family's existence over some stupid ape?

The zoo is very lucky if they don't get sued. How the fuck do you not make the gorilla enclosure child-proof.

A lot of this all goes back to zoos being bullshit in the first place. SJW knuckleheads say zoos are for "preservation" but I guaran--fucking--tee you that these animals aren't living as long in captivity as they would in the wild if they weren't hunted down by poachers in stuff. We should not be making these gorillas into public pets. They aren't built for it and we shouldn't try and make them do it.

I've never known an SJW to approve of zoos.

C'mon man. Zoos are great. For children they are a magical place. It's also a good place to bring Asian girls for a daytime date. I remember taking a train to the big city as a kid and visiting a zoo for the first time and seeing all the animals I had seen on TV, and it was one of my most memorable childhood experiences.

And there's no way that zoo animals live shorter lives than in the wild, with the expert veterinary care, abundant food and lack of predators.

Not to mention the inter-zoo breeding programmes that ensure when the last black rhino in the wild is killed for its horn to cure an old Chinese man's impotence, the species will still live on in captivity.
