Truth behind Mighty Joe Young

   Mighty Joe Young is a film of a gorilla that has grown to an enormous size which makes the poacher really wants him. The truth is, Mighty Joe Young is just a film and there is no such thing as a gorilla which has the size of Mighty Joe Young. The heaviest and the largest gorilla in the world is only 221kg which was named Gargantua in the year 1929 (anonymous, 2015). By looking at the size of Mighty Joe Young, it doesn’t seems like a gorilla with weigh if 221kg. Mighty Joe Young seems more than a ton. 

Any other primates apart from gorilla which have the enormous and ferocious strength

   There is a case when an orang-utan tossed away a log using only a single hand. The most surprising part is the orang-utan is not from the jungle but it is an orang-utan which is held in capacity ever since its birth (Anonymous, 2012). To begin with, the log that the orang-utan tossed away is a log that almost four or five zookeepers wanted to get rid of but failed because they can’t even make the log to budge at all. But still, the orang-utan manage to tossed it away only using a single hand and that is an act of an orang-utan which is held in capacity ever since birth and we are not talking about wild orang-utan or even a wild gorilla.

Does gorilla’s strength is the same as The Hulk’s?

Hulk can even lift a tank which weighs at about 50 tons as if it is nothing less than a featherweight dumb bell. An adult man can only lift 200kg top. So, that means a gorilla can lift only 4 tons or 5 tons top. Even 10 gorillas team up together to bring Hulk down is nearly impossible. Maybe a gorilla would only have the same strength as Captain America, Steve Roger. To be on the same ground as Hulk, it is only a pipe dream. It does sounds real for a gorilla to overpower human for strength but still to become at the same ground as Hulk, there is none>

A tiger versus a gorilla: who will win?

   The things that a tiger possesses are strength, claws and fangs. Same goes to a gorilla. The different is a gorilla is much bigger than a tiger and also more agile. When those are difference between the tiger and the gorilla, these would be the advantages of the gorilla but the tiger seems the most unfortunate right now. The tiger is only capable of leaping onto its opponent. But when the tiger is about to do so, the gorilla will instantly pummel the tiger towards the ground when the tiger is on the mid-air and you know how hard it would be to accept the smash of a gorilla. And at that time, the gorilla doesn’t seem to use it fangs and claws yet. Which means the gorilla didn’t go all out but yet the tiger seems the one who suffers the most due to the fight.  

What is the best method to capture a gorilla?

   Usually, to capture an animal, poachers would use the tranquilizer to make the beast to mellow. But that stuff doesn’t seems to works on gorilla. Only with tranquilizer will not even make the beast to relax but it will make the beast to feel annoyed and you will never make a gorilla too feel annoyed, didn’t you? When we spoke of a gorilla, live ammo is the one which are the most suitable one to capture a gorilla, but not straight to the vital point. But the thing is, how could you?

Is encountering other primates will be the same as encountering a gorilla?

   To encounter a gorilla, bare hand would seem futile. But the things don’t work that way when you are encountering chimpanzee or baboon. There is a case when a zookeeper was attack by a baboon. At first, the baboon seems to winning the fight. But in the end, the baboon lost the fight due to lack of oxygen to be inhaled. The zookeeper strangled the baboon from behind using his arm and drowned the baboon into the water. When the baboon didn’t even make any move, the zookeeper releases his strangling. Seems like strangling works much to encounter other primates, although it didn’t work on gorilla.   

What to do or what not to do when we are encountering a gorilla

   Gorilla used to move in pack which means there will be an alpha in the pack. Some says that looking straight towards the alpha’s eyes is the last thing you want to do when you encounter a pack of gorillas. The truth is, it is okay to look straight towards and alpha’s eyes as long as you don’t move a single bit just to let them know that you’ are not of the enemy or threat. Once it considers you as threat or enemy or foe, you are doomed. At least when you want to move, just move only a little bit and at the same time, prevent looking straight towards the alpha's eyes if possible just as a cautious measure.
