Is the Silverback Gorilla a Super Predator?

[9erempiree]

I know they are herbivores but they are one of the toughest animal in the animal kingdom. We've had countless debates on whether they can fight Brock Lesnar, tiger and a Grizzly Bear. For a herbivore they have some strengths equivalent to many predators of the animal kingdom.

As a herbivore can they be called predators?

Is this a super predator?

Every time I see this gif I have to watch it like 10 times in a row in awe.

If a gorilla charged me I'm not sure I could hold my ground like that...

This is why I refuse to see that new Tarzan movie...


A gorila vs. a human in a fight = no.

If you run then its a sure thing that it would attack you.

Might as well take your chances standing there than take the sure thing of running and getting killed.

According to Hillary Clinton, yes.

[Smoke117]

No they cannot be called super predators...they are actually very docile animals that only get violent when antagonized. Don't you ever think "should I really make this stupid ass thread?" before you do? No? Well try it...we all know you aren't going anywhere in two weeks and were all sick of your moronic bullshit.

A gorrila would be slaughtered by an actual super predator. Polar Bear, Brown, lions, tigers etc.

Only if there's a notable weight difference.

A rhino would slaughter any super predator one-on-one for the exact same reason.

[Nick Young]

So did we decide who wins the confrontation between Brock Lesnar and a bull Silverback?

The guy was holding a baby gorilla (born in captivity, IIRC), trying to acclimate it to the wild. He got charged again and basically threw away the baby gorilla. Still balls of ****ing steel. I would've shit my pants.

Gorillas have very small penises. In fact, probably the smallest among all mammals relative to their size.

Guess that ruins the OP's and his imbecilic conjoined twin's fantasies.

[DukeDelonte13]

the hippo is probably the most dangerous herbivore.

[Nick Young]

Hippo is weak to electric attacks and slashing weapons.

Brains > Physical Attributes

the most fearsome predator would be the smartest one.

Correct

In fact humans = goat predator

[JohnnySic]

Viruses = goat predator.
