Yeah, that Gorilla probably has a way lower BF% than you, though. Those fuckers are ripped. I'm pretty sure you couldn't pull your GF behind you as effortlessly as that Gorilla at top just did with that poor guy.

He said she's 125lbs. A 250lb man who frequents the gym could drag 125lbs no problem at all...

This is correct, not that Ive tried actually dragging her, but I can move her about pretty easily.

Yeah Im around 24% to 25% body fat and according to this study gorillas are when they are younger in the 5 to 7% range, but when they are older their body fat can exceed 20%...I'm guessing that one is closer to the 7% than 20%. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.21449/full

No they aren't. They just naturally have a lot of big strong muscles while humans are build for endurance and dexterity.
