Travis The Chimp Tore Off A Woman's Face And Hands After Taking Xanax

Before the sanctuary manager could step in and shoot the apes, they bit off part of St. James's face, his lips, teeth, buttocks, fingers, and genitals. St. James was left massively disfigured and wheelchair-bound from the incident.

In the hours that Sueko ran free, the chimpanzee attacked numerous vehicles along Kansas City roads, jumping on the roofs of civilian cars - one victim was quoted as saying she was terrified because "[Sueko] was on the roof screaming bloody murder" - and even punched out the window of a police car. 

Summarizing that article, chimps are no joke.

There wouldn’t be enough places to grab.

Gorillas are strong enough to rip a man IN HALF. I saw a newspaper article/television show/popular science article that said gorillas have been known to literally chop large trees down with their bite. How many grown men would it take? Impossible question. A gorilla could kill everyone, at once. Their strength is immeasurable. It's their world and they're allowing us to live in it.

Oh no they aren't. We could wipe them out this week. They might have the strength of 20 men but we have guns.

In OPs hypothetical sure, had we never developed tools maybe they would own the planet. Outside of that though, frick em. They can't hang with me.

Easily over.

freaking toss us one by one.

You could have 20 world's strongest men trying to pull the thing down and they'd be rag dolls.

What has always amazed me about them is that they are vegetarians. Right? So, how did they evolve to be so powerful and with such huge jaws and teeth (not for root, shoots and berries) and massive, articulated limbs. Not to mention smart.

Well, it turns out that if you give off a "don't start no shite and there won't be no shite" vibe, you tend to get left alone, even if your idea of a good time is kicking back with your crew and a shite ton of some nice produce.

Then some punk upstart with his naked skin, scrawny limbs, big brain, and a tool arrive and shows you what's what.

100,000 years later, his idiot descendants get together on the interwebs and decide to attack you barehanded 20 or 30 at a time. Then it's revenge time... because you learned Kung Fu.

Here’s the thing, how many arms ripped off and bitten off would it take for a male gorilla to get tired of doing it? That, plus about 12 is my answer.

I’ve been reading a lot about Sasquatch. If gorillas have the same retard strength as them then I don’t believe any amount of unarmed men could restrain it.

That recording of the lady getting her face ripped off by the chimp is fricking crazy.

Obviously you have no idea how fast gorillas are. In addition to the strength to rip the arms off of any living thing; they can also move faster than any fired projectile we currently have.

If it wasn't for the fact that Dian Fossey sacrified her life to broker a peace deal with the gorillas, we would all be nothing more but banana slaves to our superior gorilla overlords.

It would be a massacre. A silverback would bludgeon the hell out of however many men you send at it. The first few would be flogged with their own arms as weapons.
