/\ Human has the weakest bite force among the apes right. Inviato dal mio 21061119DG utilizzando Tapatalk Indeed.Even the smallest monkeys have stronger jaws than us humans pound to pound. |

Gorillas are powerhouse.

Exploring the functional morphology of the Gorilla shoulder through musculoskeletal modelling
Abstract and Figures
Musculoskeletal computer models allow us to quantitatively relate morphological features to biomechanical performance. In non‐human apes, certain morphological features have long been linked to greater arm abduction potential and increased arm‐raising performance, compared to humans. Here, we present the first musculoskeletal model of a western lowland gorilla shoulder to test some of these long‐standing proposals. Estimates of moment arms and moments of the glenohumeral abductors (deltoid, supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles) over arm abduction were conducted for the gorilla model and a previously published human shoulder model. Contrary to previous assumptions, we found that overall glenohumeral abduction potential is similar between Gorilla and Homo. However, gorillas differ by maintaining high abduction moment capacity with the arm raised above horizontal. This difference is linked to a disparity in soft tissue properties, indicating that scapular morphological features like a cranially oriented scapular spine and glenoid do not enhance the abductor function of the gorilla glenohumeral muscles. A functional enhancement due to differences in skeletal morphology was only demonstrated in the gorilla supraspinatus muscle. Contrary to earlier ideas linking a more obliquely oriented scapular spine to greater supraspinatus leverage, our results suggest that increased lateral projection of the greater tubercle of the humerus accounts for the greater biomechanical performance in Gorilla. This study enhances our understanding of the evolution of gorilla locomotion, as well as providing greater insight into the general interaction between anatomy, function and locomotor biomechanics.

How can they have great stamina and high muscle at the same time?

The orangutan has 3.38 times as much muscle force as a human.
The chimpanzee has 2.41 times as much muscle force as a human.
The bonobo has 1.66 times as much muscle force as a human. Humans are underrated in terms of strength. Humans are actually pound for pound one the strongest creatures. They have strong and powerful muscled forelimbs made for lifting, striking, pushing, grappling, wrestling and dragging. |

Red fibre muscle is for endurance while white fibre muscles deliver strength. A balance of both is good.

So cat fanatics were mindless to say that stamina compromise muscle mass. Where does their claim came from?

I asked the Dian Fossey gorilla fund if the silverback gorilla's skin is as thin as everyone thinks it is, this was their answer:
"We are unsure. The assumption would be it is thick."

Reply 95. It seems the orange utan has skin seven times thicker than a gorilla’s pound to pound.
