I cant find my links to all the sources were all the reports were it has been confirmed of these encounters and incidents. If researchers and experts who have more knowledge than either of us have come to the conclusion that Leopards can be and have been successful at killing Gorillas then there is nothing we can do about it to debunk it. So im just going to go ahead and say that you were just joking with the whole "Leopards cant even carry puppies up trees" Because you can clearly see here it being able to carry up a 120 lbs animal plus hanging onto it from another animal that weights over 120 lbs while its the one up in the tree. Hyenas can literally weight up to 150 lbs max (Females)! That tells you right there that Leopards have extreme neck muscles and and the strength to pull it off. They then engaged in a Tug Of War and the Leopard was literally hanging on to it while the Hyena was hanging Off from it and twisting onto the impala, which was hanging in the leopard's jaws. After the Leopard dragged the full grown impala up the tree, A Hyena decides to come and try to snatch it but the Leopard insisted. The next GIF now shows you what happens after he got his kill. The first GIF clearly shows to that to you when its ambushing and successfully killing an Impala (Can weight up from 90-170 lbs) and dragging it up the tree. They can climb as high as 50 feet (15 meters) up a tree while holding a fresh kill in its mouth, even one larger and heavier than themselves. Statistical facts and evidence never lie. Can't even drag animals like small puppies? You sure you arent trolling here? They are also the most adaptable of all the big cats. Like other Felines/Big Cats, They are extremely robust and well-rounded for LBS for LBS fighting. Thats just you either hating or not understanding the animal to the fullest. Those people saying Leopards have killed Gorillas have to be lying. They cant even drag small puppies up trees. All those techniques that we rely on to defeat stronger opponents aren’t going to be enough to overcome that much strength differential: You will not be arm-barring a gorilla, for instance, even if you’re Rickson Gracie.Ĭonclusion: Human fighter, even if you’re Brock Lesnar or Anderson Silva or whoever, is totally screwed in a straight up one-on-one fight.Leopards are the most overrated big cats in the planet. The average gorilla is approximately six to 15 times as strong (depending on who you ask). Conclusion: You’re not outrunning the gorilla. So now, you’ve got a gorilla who most likely can catch up to all but the most elite sprinters on the planet. In comparison, Usain Bolt’s record in the 100-meter dash roughly translates into 23 mph (Bolt reaches peak speeds of around 27 mph-but still).So, even if you were Usain Bolt, there’s a good chance you’re not outrunning a gorilla, and this assumes the fight takes place on a race track (where a human can really sprint) and not in a forest, where running speed isn’t much of an issue. Highly unlikely, if no firearms or tranquilizer guns are involved.Ī gorilla can reach speeds of 20 mph to 25 mph. At that point, all -all-of the human’s possible advantages are out the window, and it’s all over but the screaming, bleeding, and dying. What will happen is that the gorilla will close with the human and knock him off his feet. This makes the human’s fighter’s main hope of winning-almost immediately incapacitating the gorilla-very problematic. The gorilla’s musculature and skeleton are considerably more robust than the human’s, which means that the gorilla will soak up much more punishment before being seriously injured.Because the gorilla’s fighting responses are instinctual, not trained, they will be faster than the human’s.(I have seen a 5-foot-tall woman in such a state, and weighing 100 pounds, require five humans at double her weight each to take her down and hold her down.) Humans-even professional fighters or soldiers-never do this, unless they are in such a state of psychosis that they might as well be wild animals. Being a wild animal, the gorilla will throw 100 percent of his available resources into the fight from the word go.Wrestlers will appreciate the huge advantage involved erect bipedality is a serious liability here. His center of gravity is closer to the ground.A male gorilla significantly outweighs most professional fighters.Unless the gorilla is somehow hobbled (drugged, lamed, etc.), or the human fighter is armed (especially with something like a spear that can hold the gorilla off at a distance), the gorilla will kill the human and then be vaguely dejected that the human wasn’t able to put up enough of a challenge to be interesting.
