Gorillas are one of the strongest animals in the world taking into account size and weight. In general, gorillas are anywhere from 4 to 10 times stronger than an average adult male human. A well-trained human can lift around 900 pounds of dead weight, while a silverback gorilla can lift around 1,800 pounds. Some gorillas will tear down banana trees to get the fruit. Their grip is so strong that they could crush a crocodile's skull. ¹⁾.
