    This hurts me. The term is ‘yoked’ as in strong as an ox that can bear a yoke, not ‘yolked’ as in somehow related to egg slime. Hugging gorillas is very wholesome though.

    Ha. Nice. What is interesting about that scenario is the human would be loading up on protein (probably meat based diet) and working hard to gain that, and the gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because.

      gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because they metabolize different kinds of protein MUCH more effectively than humans do and also are much more physically active than the average human

      Fixed it for you.

        This would, of course, change if said gorilla had to sit at a desk for 40 hours a week.

          Definitely a little but probably not as much as you’d think.

          Humans produce a protein that forcibly limits our muscle growth and its impact is kinda crazy. Gorillas produce a bit of it too, but it’s a drastically lower amount. It’s called myostatin if I remember right, there is a dog that sometimes has a mutation where they barely produce it too and the differences between a regular one and a mutated one is pretty extreme. Look into ‘Bully Whippets’ if you want some interesting reads.

            I’ve seen photos of super muscular cattle, it’s crazy to the point that cows have difficulty birthing calves.

        I don’t know about the physical activity. Gorillas are known for not moving around much. But they lack the muscle size regulation that we have.

        But what if the gorillas stopped sitting around and actually worked to build muscle mass? We’ve never actually seen a gorilla that was trying to get as big and as strong as he could.

      Bro vegan athletes win in the olympics, in strong man, in sprints, in marathons, all over the place. They have to work hard for it, sure, but there’s nothing special about meat protein.

      I was gonna object that it’s a vegan diet, because they’re presumably not gonna do eggs or milk, but apparently not strictly vegetarian either:

      Mountain gorillas spend about a quarter of their day eating, mainly plants. Around 85% of their diet is made up of leaves, shoots and stems, but gorillas can also eat larvae, snails, ants, and even roots, barks and rotting wood (a good source of sodium/salt).

    Jane Goodall wasn’t jacked.

    EDIT: Actually, I should’ve used Dian Fossey as my example since Goodall studied chimpanzees. Fossey wasn’t jacked either, though.
