6 Animals That Could Defeat A Gorilla

Hi, I noticed that I was wrong with the weight of the hippopotamus, I said that they can reach 9000 lbs (4082 kg), when in fact its maximum weight is actually 4082 lbs (1850 kg). I messed up the sizes, so I apologize!

Perfect video to wathch at 2AM.

A hamster with a hand grenade.

Had a family member work in a animal habitat facility. The gorillas in there was very wise. Any time a bigger species would walk by the gorilla would brake a tree limb off and carry it like a weapon. I’m a firm believer the humble giants are truly under estimated

2:58 never knew a hippo could be that massive until standing next to an adult human

This comparison between gorillas and the "top 6 opponents" was educational and entertaining. The inclusion of the giraffe on the list surprised and it is shocking that rhinos and elephants didn't.

Don't forget my guys. The elephants 🐘

I love the confidence when he said the following with such confidence: “This is not mean it will happen”

This is great information now when I encounter a gorilla in the wild I know which animal to have with me for protection 👍

I am glad that you included the giraffe. Despite how much people underestimate the animal, most people don’t know from first glance or light research that giraffes have been known to behead lions, and ferociously guard their kill or their dead calves. They will run out at the lions and once they even kicked one to death as revenge. Point being: don’t underestimate the giraffe. EVER.

I was in a fight with a gorilla once, and it was an easy win for me. Okay, it might have been a chimpanzee, but I still beat it. On second thought, it was just a lemur, but I did get the best of it. Okay, it was a wasp, and it stung me on the arm, and I couldn’t work for three days. It was a gnat.

Gorillas are strong and more nimble than they were given credit for in this video. However, what sets these other animals apart is that they are predatory hunters. Gorillas live on 95% vegetation. They eat green leafy things and fibrous stalks of plants mostly. Occasionally they will munch on some ants, but they don't hunt and kill other animals. That's a huge difference when determining who would win in a fight. Also if you're going to include a damn wussy giraffe then you better also include the much more ferocious African bull elephant.

This video is so ridiculous, but at the same time if I was a kid I would love it and discuss it to end of times, so I liked it :)

6:45 Only thing I would add is that crocodiles have survived having entire limbs ripped off, including parts of their tail and jaw. I remember Steve Irwin relocating a crocodile with half his bottom jaw missing. The crocodile was healthy and able to survive in the wild despite having half his jaw gone. I also remember Steve Irwin watching an Alligator with parts of her legs and most of her tail missing knowing the gator, would "make it for sure"-Steve Irwin. Right after Steve Irwin said she would make it the show fades to the title and then commercial break. Crocodiles and Alligators have the ability to redirect blood flow from severed limbs. Their immune system can even repel most types of bacteria that would cause infection. Knowing this has lead people to realize that dinosaurs like T.rex could survive injuries that should be fatal and would be to a mammal. Giving the crocodile another advantage in the fight against a Gorilla. Crocodiles are extremely tough animals even humans haven't been able to get rid of them; though we have come close. Crocodiles will certainly be here alongside birds and some mammals (canines, rodents, and rabbits mostly) after humans are no more.

I went to Rawanda in '94 as part of a humanitarian effort. While near the Zaire and Congo border, I, unfortunately saw up close and personal, a humongous Silverback that some poachers had captured and brought down from the mountains and tried to get it into this ridiculous enclosure. 10 idiots tried to get it under control with ropes when the gorilla yanked the morons around and managed to get hold of and killed 5 of them, ripping them apart like pieces of paper right in front of us. It was ridiculously scary to have been so close to this animal and horrifying to witness this take place. Those idiots did kill the gorilla with multiple shots of a large caliber rifle. It did not go down easy. They paid a heavy price in front of everyone for their stupidity. It still enrages me thinking about it. The strength of this beautiful creature was hard to accept. Those dudes didn't have anywhere close to a chance. A day I'll never forget as long as I live.

Loved your video and commentary regarding these incredibly majestic creatures they are simply incredible to watch as they interact with each other

Fantastic video

It's challenging to weigh a Gorillas' intelligence, I get mass, weight, teeth, strength, etc...which are quantifiable however a gorilla would be able to problem solve and their use advantages over their opponent. Entertaining video!
