Si un humain et un gorille s'affrontaient dans un combat, le gorille gagnerait presque à chaque fois. Les gorilles sont incroyablement forts—jusqu'à 10 fois plus forts que l'humain moyen—grâce à leurs muscles massifs et leur constitution puissante. Ils possèdent également de longues canines acérées, de longs bras pour saisir ou frapper, et une peau épaisse qui offre une protection. Les humains, en revanche, comptent sur l'intelligence, les outils et le travail d'équipe pour survivre, et non sur la force brute. Dans un combat un contre un sans armes, la vitesse et la ruse de l'humain ne suffisent pas à surpasser la puissance brute du gorille. Donc, à moins que l'humain ne dispose d'outils ou de ruses sérieuses, le gorille est clairement le vainqueur ! Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00The last time a man and a gorilla killed a common parent was about 10 million years ago.
00:05Scientists have discovered that, in a proportion of about 15%,
00:10the genes of gorillas are closer to human genes than those of our closest relatives, chimpanzees.
00:15But overall, our genes are quite similar.
00:18Humans and chimpanzees share more than 98% of genes, and gorillas more than 96%.
00:26So we are all distant genetic cousins.
00:29Note that all monkeys are not gorillas.
00:31The terminology is mixed in everyday language.
00:34It's going to sound like a riddle, but here's what it is.
00:37On one side, there are monkeys with tails.
00:39And on the other, the big monkeys that don't have tails.
00:42Since gorillas don't have tails, they are classified among the big monkeys.
00:46The other big monkeys are orangutans, chimpanzees, giant chimpanzees, and bonobos.
00:52Monkeys are another type of primate, and they have a tail.
00:56They are of different sizes and species, such as macaques and capuchins.
01:00Primates are a generic category that includes big monkeys, monkeys, lemurs, tarsiers, and a few other animals.
01:08Primates are known for their prehensile hands, their eyes placed in front of the head, and their complex social behavior.
01:15Let's put gorillas first.
01:17They are the largest of the big monkeys, are known for their strength, and live in the forests of Africa.
01:23The films King Kong and The Planet of the Apes, L'Affrontement, give an idea of the strength of these animals.
01:30An adult male gorilla, often referred to as a silver-backed gorilla, is stronger than 20 adult humans combined.
01:38To put things in perspective, a silver-backed gorilla can lift 1,800 kg without effort when lying down,
01:46while the strongest human halterophiles can only lift about 400 kg.
01:52These animals are therefore on average 4 to 9 times stronger than humans.
01:55This remarkable strength is not just a show, it plays an essential role in their social dynamics.
02:01In their group, which can include 5 to 30 gorillas, silver-backed gorillas must win their title of chief and protector.
02:08They have a robust conical-shaped head that has prominent ridges.
02:12These characteristics allow them to support the muscles of the jaw and teeth.
02:17Can a human face a gorilla in combat?
02:19Man would have no chance in the event of a direct confrontation.
02:22Gorillas are the largest primates in the world, and are among the most powerful creatures on the planet.
02:28In fact, if you engage in a melee fight with a silver-backed gorilla, your survival would depend solely on the gorilla's good will.
02:37Even their natural conflicts, such as battles between silver-backed gorillas or with other gorillas,
02:43show the formidable power of these creatures.
02:47If you hit a silver-backed gorilla with all your might, you would probably end up breaking your arm.
02:53Gorillas' skin and skull are thicker than that of humans,
02:57which makes it exceptionally difficult for us to inflict injuries on these remarkable primates.
03:03For example, mountain gorillas are endowed with a dense fur,
03:07intended to resist the harsh climate,
03:09but it also serves as protection against superficial injuries, such as blows or bites.
03:16Now let's talk about the strength of a gorilla's fist.
03:19It is so powerful that it could break the skull of a human being in one fell swoop.
03:23This strength is between 590 and 1,220 kilograms.
03:28It's about the equivalent of the weight of a small car on your head.
03:33For comparison, gorillas, which weigh on average 180 kilograms,
03:38have a muscle mass density about four times higher than that of the most muscular humans.
03:45If you extract a volume of muscle fiber from a human and a gorilla,
03:50you will see that the gorilla's muscle fibers are four times more numerous than that of the human.
03:55In addition, gorillas have bones that are, on average, three times thicker, heavier and more calcified than that of humans.
04:02Now let's briefly examine the hypothetical scenario of a gorilla facing not a human, but a lion.
04:08If gorillas and lions live together in East Africa, they occupy very different terrains.
04:14Gorillas thrive in thick forests at altitudes ranging from 1,600 to 3,800 meters,
04:20while African lions live mainly in the plains, more precisely in the savannah.
04:26In any case, lions have evolved to hunt and defend their territory,
04:31and they have impressive fangs.
04:34These fangs are probably intended to attract females and intimidate other males.
04:39On their side, gorillas have large, elongated canines,
04:43mainly intended for parading and intimidation rather than hunting.
04:47Gorillas have one of the most powerful bites of the animal kingdom,
04:51about 590 kilograms per square centimeter, twice that of a lion.
04:57But it is not certain that this advantage can compensate the lion's predatory arsenal,
05:02composed of teeth and claws designed for hunting.
05:05We cannot know with certainty which of the two would win the fight.
05:10And did you know that gorillas are also herbivorous musicians?
05:13They may not compose a symphony and do not play the piano,
05:17but they have a gift for inventing unique rhythms in nature.
05:20They are used to using their chest like a drum.
05:24This rhythmic chest beating is not a sign of aggressiveness or anger,
05:29as you might assume at first glance.
05:32It is rather a form of personal communication and expression
05:36that reveals fascinating aspects of the social dynamics of gorillas.
05:40Within their family groups, they establish complex hierarchies and maintain links.
05:45Chest beating is a way for individuals to affirm their presence and domination within the group.
05:51The intensity and duration of the beatings can vary.
05:54The stronger and more pronounced the beats,
05:57the more they testify to the assurance and authority of the gorilla.
06:00This behavior is all the more endearing
06:02as young gorillas often try to imitate adult chest beatings.
06:06It looks a lot like the way we learn to speak.
06:10Thus, this drumming is both a learning experience
06:14and a way for young people to integrate into the social fabric of the group.
06:20This could also mean that Tarzan calls Jane.
06:24Scientists have deciphered another aspect of gorilla drumming.
06:28It turns out that their beating varies depending on their size.
06:32The big males are like the bassists of the jungle.
06:36They play at the lowest frequencies.
06:39How do they do that?
06:41Maybe because they have extra-large air pockets near their vocal cords.
06:46This discovery suggests that female gorillas listen to these concerts
06:50in order to choose their ideal partner.
06:52Gorillas make tools out of sticks and leaves
06:56to accomplish tasks such as collecting food
06:59and evaluating the depth of the water.
07:01This shows their ability to solve problems.
07:04And who knows?
07:05Maybe one day they will start making instruments
07:08to accompany their chest beatings in a purely musical way.
07:12In addition to chest beatings,
07:14gorillas have an absolutely fascinating range of behaviors.
07:17For example, they move away from a dominant individual
07:20showing their indifference in the simplest way possible.
07:23Gorillas also use their faces to communicate,
07:26just as we signal our emotions through expression.
07:30When they play, for example,
07:32gorillas open their mouths and let their lower lips hang
07:36without uncovering their teeth.
07:38Young members of this species are the ones who like to make this noise the most.
07:42It's a bit like human laughter.
07:45Gorillas show their teeth in different ways.
07:48There is, for example, the expression
07:50« tooth discovery ».
07:52This time, it's not a laugh, but a smile.
07:55If you see a gorilla with his mouth open
07:58and showing his two rows of teeth,
08:00know that he is smiling at you.
08:02In the world of monkeys, this is a sign of submission.
08:05In addition, male gorillas can reveal their teeth when they bark,
08:09which is a sign of warning in times of distress.
08:12In reality, you will see that these animals are rather peaceful creatures.
08:16People observe them in their natural habitat,
08:19during safaris or circuits.
08:21These experiments are safe,
08:23because participants receive instructions before going hiking.
08:27These primates are social creatures
08:30that live within very close family groups.
08:33Among the species of gorillas, the mountain gorilla,
08:36which lives in the forests of East Africa,
08:38is generally considered the least dangerous for humans.
08:41Thanks to tourism and scientific research,
08:44these gorillas have become accustomed to the human presence.
08:49Welcome to the curious benevolent.
