How Strong is a Chimpanzee Compared to a Human?

Ever wondered if you could take on a chimpanzee in a fight? Well, the answer is probably not. Chimpanzees are some of the strongest animals on the planet, and they have been known to rip the limbs off of animals and even kill humans. But exactly how strong are they compared to a human? Well, in today’s video, we’ll be answering that very question!

how come the teeth, bite force, and biting behavior were not talked about? a chimp would sooner bite you before they actually balled up a fist and punched you

"While it's true that chimpanzees are stronger than humans, the difference in strength isn't as significant as some may think. Chimpanzees are naturally adapted for tasks like hanging and pulling, which is evident in their movement. However, they are not built for activities like throwing and punching, which humans excel at. For example, while a trained chimpanzee can throw a ball at speeds up to 30 km/h, a skilled human baseball player can throw at speeds reaching 160 km/h (or 100 MPH).

Additionally, it's worth noting that in primates, the strength of the arms is often comparable to or greater than the strength of the legs. In contrast, human legs are two to three times stronger than our arms. The video doesn't highlight this aspect, but it's a significant point when discussing the physical capabilities of humans versus chimpanzees."

The scariest part of both the gorilla and the chimpanzee is that mouth of fangs. Did you see how wide that chimp opened it's mouth?

7:20 Being shorter is actually an advantage when it comes to generating force. Less torque is required.

[gregstephens]

They don't punch. They rip your limbs off or bite your face off.

Have you ever wondered if you can take a chimpanzee in a fight?
Ummmm no, no i haven't!

The honeybadger we all know well is so tough that they fend of predators like lions, hyenas, and african wild hunting dogs to the point they think twice about messing with them. We all know about the honeybadger don't care thing. Here's an interesting scenario. Honey Badger vs Jaguar. I'm pretty confident that the jaguar is one predator that can make the honeybadger care if they ever crossed paths. I'd love to see that one sometime if you read this suggestion.

A chimp is about 1.35x the strength of a human man relative to body weight, a study concluded, people that say they can rip arms and legs off a man with ease and can lift a thousand lbs are simply delusional, they’re strong but not that strong

[boondoggle]

Just the fact that they can climb trees and swing from trees so easily and effortlessly makes me think that they’re a lot stronger than humans, at least in terms of upper body strength.

[Theod]

Their bite is much worse than their punch. No human died of being punched by a chimp.

[wmden]

I thought the punching deal was a bit off the wall. The force of a punch depends a lot on muscle mass, and just as much on technique. A chimp is much less likely to have good technique than a human pro boxer. An average human baseball player can probably swing a club with more force than a chimp, because of his technique, also. That said, a chimp could probably slap with more force than a human, because there would be less technique involved.

5:25 When there's no humans around to throw it

[jeffleake]

ive seen a video of a hairless male chimp in captivity and my god he was ripped he has a body ready for the beach that's for sure

[edstringer]

Throwing a proper punch is as much skill as strength

[onenightinbangkok-gpzb]

watch how fast a chimp goes up or down a tree, and scurry off. A human has no chance.

[rashanterogers]

Not only their strength but bite force psi

[NINJASAZUKI]

Damn I can’t believe some of these comments, people really think they have a chance fighting a chimp😂

[smido]

Chimp had to nimble on its booty finger @5:33 😭😭😂

[bluemouse]

If the chimps mouth was muzzled where it could not bite it would be interesting to see if a martial arts expert in Ju Jitsu or some type of wrestling skills could subdue a chimp to see if skill would beat brute strength

[clintoruss]

Its not so much the strength thats the problem, although they are very strong, its he teeth and utter ferocity you have to worry about, they will literally blind you and bite your face off before u knew what was going on
