A buddy of mine said he saw the gorilla in the Seattle Zoo pull a car tire apart when it became angry about something in the cage. He said the big male struck the 350 female with a lifting back hand sorta move and knocker her about twenty feet.
Gotta friend that works at Asheboro zoo. They had to dart the resident silver back to extract a tooth. ( Imagine a Silver back with a toothache. ) He said the aluminum darting pole was about 8 feet long and as big as his wrist in diameter. That silver back grabbed it with one hand and broke if off clean where it was stuck through the bars of his cage.
